Hope they get their moneys worth. Hope that was worth $115 to them. I won't be buying any more Nintendo systems. They can go to hell. Fuck em. If my kids didn't like the system and I hadn't already sunk a bunch of money into it, I would use a hammer to break the piece of shit console up into tiny pieces and mail it to Shigero Miyamoto so he could cram all the broken sharp bits of glass and plastic up his smug smirking asshole. Ask me how I really feel. DON'T BUY A SWITCH. DON'T BUY THE OLD ONE AND DON'T BUY THIS NEW ONE. It will break. It's poorly made. It's a piece of shit and they will charge you lots of money to fix their shitty design. DO. NOT. BUY. I am not being a jerk here and I am not trying to stir the pot. I honestly don't know what happened with your Switch. So what happened? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ort Posted October 4, 2018 Share Posted October 4, 2018 I answered it later in the thread. Obviously I'm blowing off some steam and using hyperbole for comedic effect, but yes, I am in fact very annoyed at Nintendo. I know my youngest can be rough on things, but I don't think that's what happened to me. If I had to assign blame it would be something like 75% Nintendo for making the thing to fragile and 25% my youngest son for not knowing how to treat electronics. That said, any other Nintendo device would have survived under the same conditions. As soon as I held a Switch in my hands, my first reaction was... uh oh, this thing feels super duper breakable. Every other Nintendo device has felt like a tank and acted like one too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kal-El814 Posted October 4, 2018 Share Posted October 4, 2018 Other than the Game Boy, the first rev of all Nintendo’s handhelds has been deeply flawed in some way, and sometimes more than the first rev. The GBA didn’t have built in lighting. The original DS was the ugliest piece of shit I’ve ever seen, and the DS Lite hinges broke when you thought about opening the system. The original 3DS screen rubbed against the other side of the system when closed. The Switch is probably the best 1st rev portable they’ve released in decades.

cusideabelincoln Posted October 4, 2018 Share Posted October 4, 2018 Hmm, and I was going to buy one this year if there was a good Black Friday deal. I think I'll wait a bit now. The only game I really want to play that I can't already play on the WiiU is Mario Odyssey. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CastlevaniaNut18 Posted October 5, 2018 Share Posted October 5, 2018 I'm pretty sure I've never had any game system break. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bacon Posted October 5, 2018 Share Posted October 5, 2018 I have had a disc drive on the 360 break, and I had a PS3 yellow light, but I don't know if that is the same Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AndrewDean84 Posted October 5, 2018 Share Posted October 5, 2018 Makes sense. They tend to sell new revisions of their handhelds. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Unless it has a much better screen, or some games exclusively on it like the new 3DS, I doubt I'll upgrade initially. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Spork3245 Posted October 6, 2018 Share Posted October 6, 2018 My 40gb PS3 died, while my near-launch model X360 still seems to work. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JosephManderley Posted October 6, 2018 Share Posted October 6, 2018 Supposing they went the opposite way? Get rid of the portable aspect, so no need for screen, battery, dock etc. Just make a small console to plug into the TV for under $150? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Anzo Posted October 6, 2018 Share Posted October 6, 2018 Depending on what they change/upgrade about it I'll buy and keep the original one. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
