I found it damning when a lot of Spreggy Nintendo fans say that the Switch has a "drought" when they are too fucking lazy to look around for other games besides Mario, Zelda, Amimal Crossing, ETC.
Wii and Wii U years were marred with Shovelware or shitty motion gimick games. Wii U lacked third party support as you said and it was region locked unless you homebrewed it. Switch is region free at least. Most Wii and Wii U owners I knew liked the VC more than the paltry offering of games they had.

The only good thing about the console is Nintendo made good first party games and then ported it to the Switch with the exception of a few that were crap. Then again out of all the people i know 1 had a Wii U it was my severly autistic best friend who is a massive Nintendo fan boy with Pokemon posters on his rooms wall i shit you not. Pokemon isn't bad its fun and inocent but god are its fans autistic.

I liked Tropical Freeze TBH, since that was one of the few First Party games I like. Kinda wish the first Returns had a port or at least another DKR game. I had a Wii U, but didn't own many games on it. Mario Maker was okay, but it got draining after a while and the same hashy "LOL TROLL" Levels got old. This carried on with Mario Maker 2 that had the same troll levels, auto stages or just really copy and pasted levels.
Oh I did like Mario Maker 1 and I liked the Amiibo costumes as ones that were added in updates like the damn arcade bunny or Mario in his airplane from Super Mario Land. MM2 got rid of Amiibo costumes and had a co op mode that barely worked.

and also because they never sell their games at a discount price years after release.

Sums up my opinions on the Mario Maker games perfectly.
Not having a proper stylus and two screens really made Mario Maker 2 feel cramped and uncomfortable. Nobody ever attempts to make levels that feel like they could be in a real Mario game, and the ones in the trending/hot/popular/whatever tab are always, ALWAYS autoplaying ones where WOAHGHGHHFDHGFDHKJHKJ THEY REMADE THE POKMEON THEME SONG IN MARIO MAKER

The only WiiU games I liked were Splatoon 1 and Pikmin 3. That being said it's a steaming shitshow of a console.
Personally I'd like a more powerful Switch model, I enjoy better specs, but what I'd like far more are joycons with a lifespan longer than 4 months. I think it's absolutely appalling to see nintentards deny or even defend joycon drift in reddit threads that are pointing it out and asking for help on how to fix it without sending your joycons to the void and praying you'll get them back this year.
I just want to play MHRise without fighting with my stupid driftcons, and I'm genuinely skeptical about purchasing a 1st-party pro controller because of the awful regular joycon stick quality. But on the other hand, I don't trust 3rd party controllers much... Ugh.

I've had a few 3rd party controllers for the Switch. They're worse. They feel fine, but the sticks go bad within about a month or two, ironically making them more expensive than the first-party controllers over time. There's just no good Switch controller.The only WiiU games I liked were Splatoon 1 and Pikmin 3. That being said it's a steaming shitshow of a console.

I'd rather them fix the stick drifting situation than release a Switch Pro.

I miss the other cursors they used like the two cat paws and generic Mario paint styled finger.
I own a few First Party games on the Switch, only because one I got at half the price because it was on sale. Paying 60$ for short games, ports or some meme game that was released on the 3DS isn't really worth it.

They should have given MM2 more content updates. The stuff they did add in the prior updates were pretty sweet (more level elements, powerups, gamemodes, etc) and kept the game interesting during it's heyday.
Obviously I wouldn't want them to continuously update it, but more than two content updates would have been nice to have.

The best switch controllers are Xbox or PlayStation controllers.

The Wii was incredibly underpowered compared to the PS3/360 but it had a massive install base. The trends were to either rebuilt existing games, downgrade or do spinoffs. Usually, develop PS2/Wii at once.
Although I heard the Wii was on par with the original Xbox or GameCube.

I don't see why they could of had the Amiibo costumes since most people liked this. I wanted to see a Tiny Cloud go run in the desert. MM2 was barely updated aside from that Zelda update and the one with worlds and online mode.
ACNH feels like a kick in the knackers when they promised updates that were good, but they are rather paltry or just repeats of last year's stuff aside from item updates. Plus people screaming "BREWSTER!11!11" in every post the AC twitter makes is pretty much childish.

To steal a joke from Razorfist. I look forward to the next [generic third person action game] staring [strong female protagonist] that has to [grab collectables].

The pro controlers are actually really good and i have a wireless Horipad model not bad. God is the Joycon drift bad then i found out it does it because of dust and the soulution for me was so simple i feel dumb for not realizing it sooner. Blowing into the sticks to blow the dust out and it just works. Wierd maybe it'll work for you? Other than that i like the Joycons there inovative and cool.The only WiiU games I liked were Splatoon 1 and Pikmin 3. That being said it's a steaming shitshow of a console.

Glad I found this thread so I can do a schizo spergout on the switch.
For me, the console was fresh when it first came out as I came from owning an Xbox 360 (hadn't yet owned a console from the PS4/Xbone generation) and I wasn't a teenager anymore. I was someone who bought the Switch on launch day and was really happy with it for a while. Specifically, I really liked BOTW and Splatoon 2. Besides these two games, the console is crap.
The hardware power and reliability sucks, joycon drift and that weird kickstand just to name a couple of issues. The online services suck and they continue to make boneheaded decisions related to this (virtual console?). I did like the new pro controller which has an amazing battery life. The true saving grace is that it is a comfy device to sit back or lay down to play but that's the only time I ever really played it in handheld mode. Without this, there is no point owning one unless you absolutely cannot live without playing some exclusive. I don't play video games on public transport because I'm not autistic or a child. Every game for the console is gimped, for obvious reasons as it's a handheld, but the fact remains. The exclusives are disappointing besides the two mentioned previously and Mario Kart which was fun to play with friends. Pokemon fucking sucks, Smash Bros is boring and is no better than just playing an older version, and Mario's spinoffs (besides Kart) all suck ass too. Hugely disappointing,
All the above issues are dwarfed by the worst aspect of the Nintendo console experience: the fanbase.
Extra tidbit: My girlfriend at the time thought the Switch was pretty cool so she went out and bought one the next day. During COVID we ended up just selling hers, surprisingly for more than she initially paid. I regret not selling mine during this time.

I bought a Wii U in 2014 because someone gave me a Wal-Mart gift card for Christmas and I was able to get it for like $200 in a boxing week sale. Nintendo was handing out free games like candy to try and get it to sell. I got Game & Wario, Pikmin 3 and Wind Waker HD for free, plus a disc with both New Super Mario Bros. U/Luigi U as a pack-in. The library is very small, but it works really great when you hack it. Plays everything for Gamecube, Wii & Wii U natively and has a retorarch port. We have a Switch that's really more my wife's than mine. They only game I played for it was Sonic Mania. Didn't care for Mario Odyssey at all. Every other game I'd be inclined to play I have on my hacked Wii U.
Bruh, they are a corporation. They made a shitload of money with N64. They don't care if the Playstation had a more beloved library. They only care about money.

I think it's more complicated than that. I think Nintendo ran off the hardcore audience and most of the people buying Switches are the people who owned a 3DS. What they've done is combined their home console and handheld audiences. If Switch was purely a home console, I think it would have flopped too. Nintendo saw the writing on the wall. Their handhelds always sell better. Always. Even during the Wii era, they pushed way more DSs out the door than they did Wiis. There is lots of demand for Nintendo handhelds, not so much for home consoles. Wii was an anomaly because it caught on as a fad, and besides the Wii, Nintendo's home consoles have been on a downward trajectory since the 1980s in terms of worldwide sales.

Nintendo fans are super salty about the Switch's latest NES ports
Please just give us 'Earthbound' already.

Every time Nintendo adds free games in the service, whiny fans spreg and rage over what is added amd screech "where is x or y game?" Over and over or bitch why there are not N64 games.
