Nintendo is committing a lot of the same lethal mistakes they did with the WiiU, and more.

Nintendo is still making a lot of big mistakes with the Switch:
- After almost 2 years still no streaming apps like Netflix and Amazon Prime
- Still no Internet browser
- Games consists mostly of overpriced ports
- Disastrous voice chat applications
- No messaging system or activity hub
- No virtual console (no, overpriced Wii U ports don't count)
- Expensive as hell hardware/controllers

In many regards the Switch is even a downgrade compared to Wii U, but the portability somehow makes Nintendo immune to the negativity like they are some sort of Jesus.

You're right, the system doesn't have a Browser, messaging system or dedicated virtual console for old games (which you complain about in the same post where you complain about the system having old games) The rest of the items in this aren't correct, some changed in the last month such as Fortnite which natively supports voice chat with no outside apps, some changed last year such as Video streaming via NicoNico TV which is how I watch most of my WWE Raw/Smackdown on the Switch each week, the system has always had an activity hub, oh yeah... controllers for the system cost 70e... the Elite controller for the X1 costs more than double that. Gaming costs money.

Also the most recent long digital foundry vid on the switch in portable mode even features a section on Bayonetta 2 being better on the Switch even in portable mode than on the WiiU.

 

But yeah... if this hasn't sank in with you in the last year and a half it probably never will.

So, you can use just a headset, or talk right into the system like the Vita? Either or is fine. Both would be preferred. That's a good thing for sure. The voice chat thing is easily my #1 problem with the system. But this is just with Fortnite at the moment? It's a promising step at least. I'm not big multiplayer guy, but I do play multi a bit more in recent years. It's not just a nice feature to have, but is almost required for some games.
