Having a lot more RAM would go a long way at making the switch look a lot better on several games also I love your idea of adding actual SSD speeds to the internal storage even with the same exact graphics and processor speed that would make a huge difference but of course they would update the other stuff too...
I use it for my retro gaming after the retrotink 2x.
The reason I specifically use it is to bump the 480p up to 1080p so that my projector displays the image without lag as my projector with a 480p input adds significant lag.
Does an amazing job too on N64 games.
I did not see any reason to use it with the gamecube or the switch though.
@Deviant-Dork Yo... Blindness, deafness, and verbal issues ( unable to speak properly) it's more often than not a varying degree of disability. It's not a binary either on or off type situation for most folks. I have one friend that is legally blind. She cannot drive, as she would probably hit curves and such too often, and it's unsafe, but she can recognize faces and people and see enough to get around by foot.
I have another friend that is partially deaf. She uses hearing aids and is only in her late twenties... She can converse with people just fine by phone and in person as long as there is not a lot of background noise, like a restaurant is practically impossible.
Myself I use the zoom function quite often as the game developers like to make text impossibly small. Never had this problem with old CRT games as they had to display stuff big enough, but now there is microscopic text in almost every game. Also when I play games like Hyrule warriors they need more map option sizes as the heads up map is just too darn small. Ugggg.
Also I really wish they would do screen readers and such more often.
@avictorao yes especially the cluster that is game sharing between devices it should be simple and transparent, that's why I probably will never own more than one switch at a time.
@avictorao Bingo! Your spot on, all my complaints rolled into one post, the only other thing that really bothers me is the build quality of the switch, it's horrible.
@YusseiWarrior3000 I'm my opinion, it's terrible, the forced control and dual screen gimmick turned me off bad... A "new way to play" it's not always a good/fun way to play. Forcing the issue was a fatal mistake. Also, they need a new story and a reboot of sorts.
Sega has once again shown that quality is not a goal. I'm so disappointed that they messed this up so bad. I was really looking forward to this. I guess I'll keep playing wii version on Wii U.
If people are willing to pay the price... That's how value works. Bubble it may be. I still can't believe people pay me 40-80$ for the box and manuals of my childhood N64 games.
@SwitchForce I take a similar but slightly different stance on PS5 And XBOX X than you do...
I feel like they keep pushing shooters and epic story telling RPG and GTA / Cyberpunk style games. I don't see that as core gaming. But it may be these days.
Also, some developers of the games for the new systems waste resources on polygons in the butt cheeks and high fidelity cloth simulation and realism. But I just want fun games with good graphics.
@faint Me and my sister played that game two completion and beyond, the online is great and you only have to purchase at one time if you get the deluxe version for both players to participate. Great game
@Nclind And people, it's a good thing. Nintendo needs a competitor. Even if not a direct competitor, we need something that will help push Nintendo to increase the quality of the switch.
This is really odd. I wonder if this actually happens often where there is a game breaking bug or a major bug that only happens in one language option of a video game? It seems like in play testing that they would probably not play test the entire game rigorously in each language?
And I can't resist: lol
Nigel Powers β 'There's only two things I hate in this world. People who are intolerant of other people's cultures and the Dutch.'
As the game sold so well, Nintendo would do well by adding new substantive additions to the game. This game could have very long legs if they keep adding content and it should be an evergreen title.
But they need to go big! Not just the drip feed of new items and such.
@AstroTheGamosian drift is a thing on the pro controller, we have two in our family, one stick had drift, other 3 sticks have not so far, about 2 years.
Does the New OLED model have better build quality?
My og switch is looking bad. Bulging battery, cracked exhaust vent, lower right hand corner of the screen protrudes out from the frame because of the bulging battery...
@Browny I have found the only way to play is with the camera speed slowed down a bit. Otherwise it's quite a distraction to she the slide show behind the action while spinning the camera around πππππ

Re: Nintendo Switch System Update 13.0.0 Is Live, Adds Bluetooth Audio
@RandomNerds I don't think any of these features will come to the switch with the ram it has currently. Nintendo switch has a serious ram deficiency.

Re: Review: Quake - The Definitive Version Of An Iconic, Flawless FPS
@impurekind I hear you on this one. But I think the higher Resolution has a bad effect on things like that. It's annoying in the doom 64 port as well.

Re: Switch Takes Japan's Entire Top 30 Software Chart, The First Console To Do So Since 1988
Nintendo needs to add more Hardware SKUs. More special editions and the like.
I still want a switch Pro.
My Switch pro concept:
OLED switch with Thrice the ram, more / better / faster tegra cores and larger faster storage.
Second tegra SOC in the dock.
When Connected to TV, handheld SOC and Dock SOC share duties to output higher quality graphics. (Like a dual card PC)
Wow... I need to quit doing drugs... π

Re: Random: 'Switch Vs Steam Deck' Memes Are A Thing Now, Apparently
@MarioBrickLayer I feel like it will be successful, but not the kind of numbers that Nintendo can pull off.
Also the steam deck looks like off brand Xbox controllers were split and glued to a switch body. Yuck yuck.
Re: Poll: So, Will You Be Getting A Switch OLED Or Valve Steam Deck?
Ugly... It's kind of funny because there's already a bunch of these type computers for sale from Chinese manufacturers.
