Why Is the Nintendo Switch Still Missing Essential Features After Four Years?

As we near closer to the five-year anniversary of the Switch, there are many great aspects to talk about when it comes to Nintendo’s console. It’s a system that bridged the gap for the company in a way that wasn’t fully realized with the Wii U. A portable system that could also act as a home game console appears to be the home run the company needed after the big misstep from the last generation.

It’s been such a success that we’re now starting to see major companies like Valve try to replicate the system’s success on their own terms with the Steam Deck. However, as it has been nearly five years, there still appears to be a lot of missing features from the beloved console, many of which are still baffling.

Cause Nintendo.... Why is anyone surprised at this stage, its par the course for nintendo. Yet the sheep dont care...

GhostofHorizon1712d ago

Nintendo literally doesn't care at this point. They know their audience will buy whatever they put out without hesitation.

PapaBop1712d ago

Isn't it still selling really well? I'm sure as Nintendo see it, as long as it's still selling, why bother. Sad as the Switch has so much untapped potential. It'll get usage for their games because Nintendo make amazing games but Steam Deck will be my go to mobile device when it's released.

If it’s still selling, why bother.

They have it where it matters most: 2 exclusive games rated 97 on Metacritic.

Something Xbox and Playstation won’t ever achieve.

Inverno1712d ago

Wow 2 exclusives that's like half of what they've released themselves for the last 4 years. You know what Nintendo will never achieve? Having a console with features and third party support on par with Xbox and PS

whitbyfox1711d ago

Those were just the 2 97’s. They also have a 93 exclusive. And a few 92 exclusives.

PS5’s best exclusive is a single 92. Series X doesn’t have a single exclusive in the 90’s.

You can enjoy things like pointless themes and trophies and using facebook on your consoles whilst Switch users enjoy the very best games.

I can also enjoy using a proper network with voice chat and text messenging and a store that doesn't lag and stutter the moment it loads up. 3rd party games that don't run or look like shite, just third party support in general being better than it'll ever be on Switch and I get the feeling The Switch 2 will get even less 3rd party games. Best games? Sure if you like games so barebones that people are constantly comparing them to their GC counterparts. The switch has absolutely nothing to truly boast about apart from a handful of highly rated games that only ever get great scores due to sites shilling for Nintendo

Voice chat and text messaging? Might as well get a smartphone.

The Switch store is so much better than the new stripped-down Playstation 5 store. They removed most of the features from it and stupidly made it part of the home screen.

Ah yes the old Nintendo critics conspiracy. They get the best scores because they make the best games.

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.

solideagle22d 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
