Day One Consoles = Failures
Learn It!!!

*Freezes
*Game Cartridge doesn't read
*Glitchy screen
*JoyCon Stuck Issue
*Sound issues
*Dock is terrible, leaves the screen with horribles scratchs
*And much more...! (like black screen, blue screen, Windows XP, is that you?)


Just look this...

I think some of these are from not downloading the day 1 update. It seems like a software issue, not the hardware. (Except the Joycon being stuck and the dock) If it is still happening after you install the update, it could be the update, don't quote me on that, but I think Nintendo should be able to fix this in a future update. Just a hunch.

It's funny when people are like, "But Sony/Microsoft." The thing is, Nintendo has spent 30 years trying to provide top quality products and proper testing. My N64 is 20 years old and a launch system, no issues, my Wii is a launch Wii, no issues. But now Nintendo is starting to to slip up and should be called out on that. These aren't issues people are going out of their way to find, these are happening pretty easily. Something like the left controller not working should have been fixed before launch. The dock damaging the system should have been looked into before launch and so much more that shouldn't be part of the launch. If this were beta testing, this would be acceptable, but it's not beta testing.

Not gonna lie here. My dad intentionally slammed the shit out of our NES when I was a kid due to pissing him off for one reason or another. Most of the outer shell was missing but, the damn thing still worked and I have it in a closet somewhere in my house. Blow the cartridge a couple of times and call it good!

Yeah, hopefully they improve it sooner or later, or the Switch is going to be a failure, just like the Wii U.

Guys you're really blowing these issues out of proportion. This is a very small minority having issues.

 

[Jackson Ferrell]

Maybe it's because people don't take care of them. I bought a case and a screen protector (and obviously tried taking care of it) and I've not had a single problem.

Its a sign..

that the console was a pile of crap? right, because i almost never had those issues with the cod titles on wii.

Oh, I was gonna say stop playing cod, but that works too.

My dick got stuck in the docking station. What did I do wrong?

Putting your dick in there.

 

[Jacklack3]

So you're saying hacked together unofficial software can make your console crash? Good to know.

Touche /s

Heh, I guess that is true. I just said that because you having to unplug the console reminded me of that.

Nothing, you just Switched your i for a o... Dick to Dock.

I though the EOF was a place for shitposting but apparently all gbatemp threads are used this way

I had similar thoughts before the accident. I'll read the manual next time.

I guess now it's a dicking station.

Alright, good luck getting your dick out. Have fun!

They said not to eat the cartridges, so I ate the joy cons. Wut do.

You should use some engine oil so the switch doc isn't filled with organic one

Nintendo told me not to eat the cartridges, so I ate them because Nintendo can't tell what to do.

We need more "stability" updates in our Switch consoles.. Sorry to the folks experiencing any issues. Never had one problem since day 1.

This is 'Murica, if I believe eating cartridges coated in nasty-tasting chemicals is a god-given right, so it is dammit. Git 'er dun.
