Maybe hot take: as a handheld, the regular switch is an awful handheld (beehaw.org)

Have you ever held a switch? Its long, flat and the controllers suck. Awful dpad and bad sticks.

Its almost comical, for a small stick the 3ds stick is better than any joycon stick.

And also, internal storage being only 32 GB, and cart games being downloaded in full to the system.

The switch is a mess. At least the games emulate well.

That's not even going into the online ransom shit.

And the dock sucks too. Would it have killed Nintendo to add like 2 more USB ports and an Ethernet port.

And not related but powera can eat shit

Wait, the games in the cartridge need to be installed in the main memory as well? Effectively just a drm gimmick?

They can't read the resources they need from the cart like in the past?

I don't think that's the case at all. They run from the carts just fine.

From the tests I have done, the cart is a DRM gimmick

We need big carts with enhancement chips to return, digital only and DRM can get fucked
