DarkChozoGhost 10/11/23 1:10:24 AM #9:	It's obviously one purpose, I just wonder what their reasoning is. Maybe they were worried that the Switch might end up like the PSP and wanted to ensure watching stuff would be a secondary function rather than a primary one. Maybe they're still mad that somebody at Netlfix leaked that they were briefly in talks with Nintendo over some shows and rumors got out. --- My sister's dog bit a hole in my Super Mario Land cartridge.

I can't see any realistic scenario where I would prefer watching Netflix on an undocked Switch vs just my phone. It's also doubtful I'd bring my dock anywhere that didn't have another device that could use Netflix. Maybe Netflix was trying to play hard ball with the contracts and Nintendo called their bluff? Maybe Hulu gave them a really good deal for some level of exclusivity. Who knows?

pinky0926 10/12/23 5:52:33 AM #47:	I think it's pretty unfair to mention all the switch's obvious hardware limitations while also not acknowledging those deliberate design decisions that are its strengths. We got a lightweight hybrid console that could be played handheld or hooked up to a tv. It's very easy to play with friends and the controllers are accessible, it has a very lightweight UI that I actually prefer to other consoles (because its faster to actually play a damn game). Bluetooth would have been nice. A better battery and screen would be nice. And nintendo doing their usual asshat shit of rereleasing 20 year old games for $70 is fucking ASS, But once you start saying stuff like "but no web browser" that's when I know you're cooking up nonsense. Who the fuck wants to browse the internet on their switch... --- CE's Resident Scotsman. http://i.imgur.com/ILz2ZbV.jpg <cite>pinky0926 posted [p:976611712] in The Wii ha...

You have a $300 video game console but you don't have a budget android smartphone that can load the internet? I'd understand that argument 10 or 20 years ago. I don't get it now, when I see 10 year old kids with budget smartphones. --- CE's Resident Scotsman. http://i.imgur.com/ILz2ZbV.jpg <cite>pinky0926 posted [p:976611754] in The Wii ha...
