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

To be fair when it came out seven years ago it really shook up the portable gaming scene. Every portable console coming out since is an iteration on that design. The joycons can go to hell though. And those weird ass online plans.

When it came out it was just slightly better than a phone

But without an app store full of shit that games the recommendation system.

Nintendo handhelds would have died a long time ago if smartphone vendors could have avoided that problem.

Cheaper than many phones as well.
