There are just over 600 demos on the Switch eshop. Meaning I've played over 10 percent of them.

I thought of a method for dealing with demos. I'd have exactly 24 demos downloaded on my console and not play any unless I download more. Then I'd play however many until I get it back down to 24. This incentivizes me to pick and choose which demos are the most important. (e.g. first party franchises... well maybe not so much Mario Strikers, but things like Metroid Dread and Kirby Forgotten Lands)

But I still have the feeling that my maturity has not peaked until I learn to completely ignore every Switch game that isn't Sw/Sh, PLA, and Scarlet/Violet, and to treat the Switch Lite as nothing more than a device that plays those three games. Where's the fun in that, though? I think part of me *wants* to play awful demos. The Switch is a beast when it comes to this purpose.

Lately I wonder if the Switch Lite is just not that good. Sure fooled me, though. I was fooled enough to actually upgrade to a Dialga edition and to upgrade my SD card to a 512 GB. (Very glad I did those things while I still possessed the motivation to do so.) It was only afterwards that my interest started to wane. Over fifty percent of why I liked the Switch may have simply been Pokemon Shield. It's to the Switch what Gravity Rush was to the Vita; Castlevania to the original DS.

That's not to say the Lite is terrible. It's still pretty good or just ok. But going in I had kind of expected it to be the ultimate handheld. Instead it feels like I've bought an Android console that Nintendo happened to endorse. So much indie shovelware. Many games are ported to it as an afterthought. Seemingly /the vast majority of games/ vaguely feel as though they were not optimized for handheld mode. (that or just don't sit right with me being displayed on a handheld screen) Nintendo first party offerings sucking as they so often do, Odyssey being an inexplicable exception. (save for the lack of button remapping in-game, and having A be jump) Battery life. And I noticed that I spend what is perhaps too much time browsing the eshop rather than actually playing. That seems to be a symptom of any console, actually. (The ones that are connected online, at least) Before I set the system down (usually because the battery is getting low) I tend to look at the eshop and just stay there because I don't feel like putting the system away to charge. Weird. What's funny is, I wondered if maybe CFW was bad because I tend to give up on games more easily, but at least I don't deal with Netflix syndrome. Although, I hear Vita CFW still has the homebrew shop and pkg. Oh crap..

In case anyone wants to know why I wrote a hate post about the Switch, I lost a lot of well-earned progress on a Secret of Mana playthrough. All because of a glitch in the software or the Joy-Con drift? Wtf, man. I was stuck in the menu because the controls locked up. It's all Nintendo's fault. Grr...

Okay, y'know what? The Switch Lite casing is a piece of crap. I don't know how a piece around the D-pad broke, but it indeed broke. And now I have to replace the shitty shell case. Wtf.

I mean yeah, the DS Lite had nearly the same problem with the shitty shoulder buttons. However, that thing had fewer parts. Jesus, I hate this crap.

And oh yeah, f*** you, JoyCon drift. (grumble grumble)

A piece of shit hardware. I can't get any wifi signal anymore, unless I crawl under my fridge (yes, seriously). Nintendo made their WiFi module shitty on purpose so that they get more money by selling their LAN adapters. It would have been no problem to implement a proper LAN port into the dock.
I don't have problems with any other hardware that uses WiFi. Only the Switch struggles.

Came back to this system after a long hiatus. What the heck is this Super Mario Bros 35? Yeah, I forgot that this was actually a thing.

The Nintendo Switch is shaping up to be the worst console for me. All it has are Indie games, ports with worse graphics and Wii U ports that they are selling for the full price again.

Let's just compare it to the Wii U real quick, okay? Sure, the Wii U was a dumpster fire, but consider this: it had free online. It was much more feature-complete than the Switch ever will be (advanced statistics, chat, Internet browser, a way to contact your friends, even an online community), it had a MUCH better Wifi card (the one on Switch is absolute garbage) and a controller that was very sturdy. You surely heard about the Joy-Cons drifting and all that? Seems like Nintendo doesn't care about their hardware anymore.

For someone who doesn't use the Switch as a mobile console, it is practically useless. The only game that I really like is Mario Odyssey. Maybe add Pokémon Sword & Shield to the list too, despite the drawbacks (maybe it didn't bother me as much since this was my first Pokémon playthrough). That's it though. Definitely not worth the price.

Gone are the days where we would get a new, GREAT Mario Party experience every 1.5 years. Gone are the days of fun multiplayer titles, like Mario Golf, Mario Strikers, Mario Baseball, Fortune Street. Gone are the days of great Mario RPGs, such as the Mario & Luigi series. Don't even get me started on Paper Mario, that franchise is fucking dead. Even when paying for online multiplayer, Nintendo still fails at absolutely everything related to online gaming.

The saddest part about it? Nintendo is making more money than ever before.

Insider sources say the new model is a full mid-gen upgrade, and will:

contain hardware improvements to boost AAA support (especially for when PS5/XB2 come out)
perform roughly around the level of a base PS4 apparently
contain a custom chipset--whether this means a new Nvidia chip or something else is unknown
cost $400
aim for 256GB to 512GB internal storage

insiders also say the leak was staged by Nintendo to keep investors happy and to dissuade Switch performance criticisms, and will be officially announced in January

New Switch Model probably coming:

Well, that was to be expected. I bet they fix the hardware vulnerabilities above all else. Then they will probably implement a higher-quality display. They should also fix overheating issues and the "dock scratching the Switch"-issue.
