Nintendo Switch? More like Nintendo Glitch

    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:

    seriously did you expect a tablet sized device to have cartridge ports for snes and n64?
    did you ever hear of google?

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

    Will it work with my 15KHz Arcade Monitor ?

    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.

    Is that like squashing a Foxes Glacier Fruit under a Joycon?


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 7,918 ✭✭✭The_B_Man


    Fruit, yes. Mint, no.

    I rated this thread as an Nintendo 3DS owner. No need to scrap it just yet so.
