Joycon drift is an easily fixable issue.

The quality of the touchscreen was irrelevant because its inclusion was largely unwelcome; no one wants to be forced to take their eyes off the main screen to see what they're doing with their controller. Off TV play was pointless because it wouldn't work the moment you left the living room, you could just play it on a TV instead.

Also, criticizing the Switch against the Wii U because of its power, what? That's like a beer fan criticizing wine for not having enough alcohol.

Whilst the range of the WiiU is limited... I am able to play it 2 rooms over from my living room just fine, in bed.
The construction materials of your home and console placement makes a difference.

Nintendo could have installed better antenna's as well... But the range issue is because of the insane amount of bandwidth being sent over the 5ghz spectrum in real time... But antenna mods can make a big difference.

Either way, the Wii U was a semi-decent attempt at making a hybrid console, it has a ton of caveats however.. But the Gamepad I find more comfortable to hold and use than a Switch's default tiny Joycons.

I'm fine with them, and I have giant hands. The only controller I had an issue with was the Gamecube, it tended to cramp my hands when playing more actiony games like Mario Kart; also the dpad is made for brownies. I had a similar hand cramp issue with the Dreamcast controller, though not as severe. My one major issue with the joycons is that sometimes I'll drop my hands so that my leg is in the way and the controller desyncs. That can be annoying. I find controller problems have less to do with the size of the controller and more to do with how they force your hands to go; the Dreamcast controller might be the second largest I own (next to the Wii U) but it my hands are too large for it. The Joycons allow a ton of freedom, and smaller controllers like the NES, PSX, and SNES do the same.



I describe myself as a little dose of toxic masculinity.
