"has no need for your gimmicky apps" needs a smartphone app to use voice chat 😒

No matter how ubiquitous a feature is, I'd hate for a successor to not implement a basic ability that its predecessor had

CocoaBrother3408d ago (Edited 3408d ago )

Definitely. I still find it dumb how CDs can't be played in my PS4 still.

I feel the browser for the Switch will come eventually. Would be very dumb not to include it

wonderfulmonkeyman3408d ago

It's not gimmicky to have a web browser.XD
Although it would certainly be a step down from the Wii U's web browser, which lets you use one screen for typing while the TV screen is still up. (this post was made BY that very Wii U screen, actually.XD)

I've had lengthy discussions with people on Miiverse on the Gamepad and I can't imagine trying to do that with a regular controller. Up until I broke the Gamepad screen I used that to type all my comments here on n4g as well. I've finally sent it in to get it fixed after 7 months and should be getting it back in the next few days.

It will have a browser eventually. Why it won't be there at launch is weird though.

Moonman3408d ago

I think they need to allocate as much RAM to gaming as possible. Online gaming, LAN and Virtual Console before another nice web browser. A basic one to search daily news is fine.

Zeldafan643407d ago

One gig of RAM has been sufficient for the Wii U web browser and I'm sure the RAM in the Switch will be faster than in the Wii U.

Look I know VIII has its issues and all that but how on earth can the do big anniversary events with new artwork and merchandise for VII, IX and X yet VIII got sweet f*** all.

They could have given it something during its 25th anniversary yet all it got was a single Happy Anniversary post on their social media.

solideagle41d ago

they should know that we are OG fans of VIII as it sold truckload as well. not as much as VII or X. I personally didn't like IX but X and VI are my personal fav.

Shadow Hearts 2 covenant is another game I love. I hope one day someone can make remake, I would be delighted

Final Fantasy VIII is great and you are always the first to defend it in the comments
