also, the only good game for it that's out is Zelda which is also on Wii u there's no rush to buy it when the good games aren't even out yet.
To me it sounds like you either don't have a switch or haven't bothered to play anything other than Zelda. Fast rmx is a fantastic game, especially for just $20 usd. Along with that bomberman r is good, although the online mode needs to be fixed. Plus I got puyo puyo Tetris from the Japan eshop and that's a great game, especially for those who haven't owned it before.

How would you describe Fast RMX? It reminds me of both F-Zero and Wipeout 2097. How is the controls and feel of it?

Well i love my switch, the only problem i had is with the right JoyCon, in portable mode it sometimes creak a little bit. Talked with amazon, getting a new JoyCon R.
BUT, the issue was my own falt.

Got mine yesterday, works perfectly. Hell, I normally wait before judging a console, but so far I'm impressed (thanks to Zelda mainly)

Like I said in the other clone thread like this, don't treat your Switch like an asshole, and you won't have these issues.

The switch has no issues at launch
Most of the people in the video put the cartridge in the wrong way, treated it badly without a screen protector, use it from a very long range and to be honest it has hardly no issues at launch
The video is horribly inaccurate, 80%+ switches are fine at launch

Can we just let this idiotic thread die? It's just fanboys cherry-picking from one or two cases. And stupid OP decided to write, "Many"... Clickbait.

Report and move on guys. Please.

Many? Well not me...
I do see many people who don't have a Switch finding all reasons why not to have one. While the ones who have are happy and too busy playing. Just my two cents.

And PS4 and Xbox One still have freezes and crashes with games ;)

I never had a crash during a game on PS4, but I ever had one on booting a game that is installed on the PS4 from PSN Store. Luckily it doesn't happen often though.

The only issue is the Wifi range on it sucks, worse after 2.00 update for me anyway. Other than that it's a nice system and I'm happy with the purchase.

--------------------- MERGED ---------------------------

Customer came in today saying her switch had dead pixels out of the box...Which on the setup menu, it did.

I remember there was a rule that if there are more than 4-5 dead pixels, you are entitled to an exchange. This applied to any LCD screen device were I live.

Here in Murica, you can just return even if you just didn't like it. Usually 30 days.
But that said, guys, really...

Stop bumping this dead thread. It's biased and bait.

WOW
I have not had any of those problems.
When i first got it i thought the straps where stuck but i look at it and there is a lock button. You gotta make sure that is fully up and it slides right off.
No freezing and i played zelda for about 4hrs straight docked.

The dock scratching the screen is a given. The DS did the same thing. I always screen protect things so no big deal.

Also alot of people have hate and will go and make these fake videos.
Check CNET switch kick stand and your see what im talking about.

And the colors flipping on the system is normally a sign of overheating gpu (the xbox 360 did this.) I even had it happen to me on the wii after playing for about 8 hr in a warm room.

So gotta take these videos with a gain of salt because there is no telling what what was done before the videos. and who is lying and who is telling the truth

True, there is bullshit posts on other sites and rumors going around. Any new device will have teething problems at launch, yet from the some I have read, it's sheer lack of not taking care of stuff. Give it a few months and see how it pans out.

    We all should have free health, dental, vision care, and make the college kids pay for the schooling, f that college forgiveness plan our govt doing now, its really not fair for all others in the past that had to pay for they're schooling anyways (like me, with 2 kids I paid to send to college in the past)

    @Sicklyboy - the comparison would be forgiving all medical debt, not making healthcare illegal!
  • cearp @ cearp:
    Although I still don't agree, medical debt is rarely a choice, whereas enrolling in university is certainly a choice

  • Sicklyboy @ Sicklyboy:
    College costs, college loans, book prices, the entire thing is predatory, oft touted as essential to a successful life for my generation and the ones since, and completely unaffordable without putting you through an insane financial hardship for literal decades in many situations.
  • Sicklyboy @ Sicklyboy:
    Many of the same issues can be seen for the insanely predatory healthcare and health insurance system in the US
  • mthrnite @ mthrnite:
    ^this
  • Sicklyboy @ Sicklyboy:
    It's important for society to be healthy and educated. If those things can't happen because all of the institutions that prop up those industries make it unattainable for all but a small portion of society, then your society is largely going to be disease ridden, dying, and uneducated in very short order.
  • K3Nv2 @ K3Nv2:
    Issue is it's too rich of a coperation already with bad sugar diets causing diabetes and killing teeth a new set of teeth around 90k
  • cearp @ cearp:
    I agree it's not easy for the average American, let alone the ones below that average. Free / cheaper healthcare is much more important I think than free university education.
    Of course like @mthrnite said, why not both. But I doubt both will get solved at once, and surely healthcare is top priority.
