Nintendo Switch? More like Nintendo Glitch

JohnMahoneyHBK · 03-03-2017 12:43AM #1

Having played the console since it's launch half an hour ago, I can quite safely say that this is one of the worst incarnations of console one could possibly envisage. Firstly, there's no battery operation option- that would've been nice.

Also, I had to borrow a new tv with SCART functionality, as there was no port for an RF Cable from the console.

Finally, another major flaw in the console is the fact that there is no backward compatibility- I had recently acquired many old SNES and N64 cartridges, thinking I could play the on the switch device- but alas, to no avail.

In conclusion, I suggest steering clear of Nintendo's latest incarnation.

Was it worth it for the sake of rhyming Glitch with Switch :pac:

Google is a bad lad.

Sarcasm on the internet always makes me smile.

Did you get the PAL or NTSC version? Think I'm going for the SECAM one myself.

Weren't you in Fraiser? You're from the generation where you'd probably get more enjoyment from something this.

Or perhaps this.

In fairness, a port for cartridges would have been a no-brainer. In fact, a cassette deck would have been great too, I always wanted to play my Commodore 64 games on a new gen Nintendo console that already has incredible games.
