Using the Nintendo Switch is annoying.

The controllers keep running out of power. With other consoles the controller has a cord so it can be used charge at the same time. I need different controllers to swap between to charge one set while using the other.

Organization is a mess. The PS4 lets you put games into a folder and arrange them within the folder. Though the folders themselves will move around on their own. The 3DS lets you put games into a folder, arrange them within the folder, and arrange the folders on the screen. The Switch has nothing. Every time I play a game or just download an update that title gets moved to the front. If I want to sort them I have to insert every game card in reverse order.

DLC is a hassle. PS4 will show what DLCs are owned under the game. On Switch this requires opening the eshop first.

So your saying that if Trump had won then the Switch be a more user friendly device.

not really. I unplug my pro controller when I start to play, and plug it back when I finish. I always keep my chargables charging, so I dont have to worry about it when the power goes out. files are nice to have and keep things organized, but Im fine with not having files. that can make it annoying to dig through things, just to play a game.

but just do whatever makes you happy

Never had the issues you describe - but I suppose it all comes down to how you use it.

Zero need/interest in any PS/Xbox consoles. Between Switch and PC, I can play anything I want. I can't think a case where I said 'I wish I could play that, but I don't have access to it with my console'.

You can use and charge the pro controller at the same time, and joycons are trivial to snap back onto the system when you're done with your session (or you can switch to handheld mode if they're dying and you want to keep playing, though they generally last long enough that having them run out in a single session is rare). Having alternate joycon charging options might be nice, but it's not something I've ever run into as a problem.

Why would you ever want to do this? Yes, more options to sort digital games would be nice, but when it comes to physical, the game you are trying to play will always be right at the front of the list. There's literally never a need to sort physical game icons.

DLC is a hassle. PS4 will show what DLCs are owned under the game. On Switch this requires opening the eshop first.

Maybe I'm just weird, but I don't think I've ever needed to see a list of which DLC's I've got for any given game. I can just remember what I've purchased whenever I'm prompted by seeing the game. There's really no reason not to offer such information without needing to open the eshop, such that I'll happily agree that Nintendo's interface design isn't as intuitive as it could be, but it's also not something that has ever remotely been enough of an issue for me to make a topic complaining about it.

For the most part, the Pro Controller works wonders for your first point since the battery life is great and even if it's dying, you can charge and play at the same time.

I would also like to see folders and themes on the Switch one day.

And if you play handheld, you can charge the system at the same time. And I believe Joycons will also charge when connected while charging the system.

They do have themes, but only 2. Only Basic White abs Basic Black. So far, I use Basic Black. I would like more themes, though. Like game based themes. Id even be fine with getting them for things like achievements or finishing a game. Like I got one on PS4 for beating the final form of the final boss on FFXIII in 10 seconds of less

  1. Opening the Eshop isnt a hassle. 2. Seeing the DLC isnt a hassle. 3. The game will usually have info on the DLC in the game (Take Botw for example)
You didnt even name the actual flaws like joycon drift. Instead all you did was compare it to the Ps4 for some reason.

I will say the store page needs a big rework. bought rabbids on sale, and didn't know the game+dlc was on sale. it wasn't sorted, and it didn't show anything else on the page when I looked at the game (like psn has a menu underneath with other versions, and then dlc under that, and similar titles under that)

Eh, it's definitely not ideal. If you have a significant digital library and you want to play something you haven't played in a while, it's a lot more scrolling than it really ought to be, especially where useless icons for physical games are included in the list. Having folders, a grid layout (ideally in the form of a one-button toggle), or both would make organization a lot better.

In practice, whatever physical game you currently have in is always at the front and the system doesn't have enough storage to have all that many digital games installed at once, so it works fine, but there's still room for improvement.

If the Vita is like the PSP, it's surprisingly prone to issues with the analog since the chassis has enough space between the controls to let in lint, etc =x

Its not that much scrolling. How many games can one person download?

Actually, I need to correct myself: There is a grid layout available, you just have to scroll to the end of the 12 titles it displays in the normal view in order to access it. That mostly solves the problem, though ideally, I'd prefer to see a single button press to toggle it (Y is unused) because that's more intuitive.

I have 11 games. Following that is a blank slot which does nothing when selected. What bothers me is if I download an update for the 11th game I have to insert 10 other game cards to get it back into the 11th slot.

If you have 12+, a 13th slot shows up that lets you see all of your games in a grid view. They'll still be in the same order, you can just see more at once so you don't have to scroll for too long if you have a larger library.

SKARDAVNELNATE posted...
I don't think it's just me.

It's not just you, but compulsively needing to maintain the game list in a specific order is definitely not a "normal" issue. The vast majority of people don't feel any need to get that game back into the 11th slot. Moving the most recently used titles to the front of the line is much more useful, since it means minimal scrolling to get to whatever your current interests are.
