I hope it doesn't dissuade people... as someone who has had plenty of experience with strange console issues (the fan on my Wii U was faulty making it extremely loud and prone to overheating, my PS3 just stopped booting up within a few months and had to be sent in, and I suppose I should mention that THREE Xbox360's stopped working throughout its run for me) I certainly have no issue with people sharing their problems and these frustrating issues are absolutely valid (if I'd gotten home and Zelda wouldn't start I might have cried), but I think the proliferation of internet/social media/youtube etc has really painted overly negative pictures of hardware and games lately. The exceptions, being the most clickbaity visually interesting, are taken to be the norm by many. Given how wide the scope of experiences Nintendo was planning to provide here and how complex the complete design was, I'd say they've seriously stuck the landing. I can't recall the last console that had more things that could go wrong than this one, given how many moving parts and intended uses it has. |
It is what it is. Nintendo Switch has been a big mover of online discourse, both positive and negative. Even when it was known as the NX, I recall all the NX threads it was driving up here on this site.
