I've conected switch to a wifi that has pretty good speed, 20mbps, not the best but downloading such a small files that long is just questioning where it is downloading them from, zimbabwe? How can you even download games like "Fortnite" that is 16gb from online? Any fixes to make it download a lot faster? USB C to Lan dongle? FW 9.0.1 .

Using an Ethernet adapter might help; the Switch also downloads faster when it's in sleep mode. If you're downloading to Micro SD, a faster micro SD card may help as well up to a certain point, Nintendo recommends up to 95 MB/sec.
Otherwise what you're experiencing is mostly normal for Nintendo standards. They've always been slower.

Change your Primary DNS to 8.8.8.8 and you secondary DNS to 8.8.4.4 in your internet settings. Those are the open Google servers. Also try to connect to 5Ghz band if it's available.

    @cearp, Mean Bean Machine is not great.

    Reject modernity, embrace tradition, Cearp.

    Mean Bean Machine was another cringe Westernization because of Americans' hate boner for anime-style games

    at least it wasn't as bad as Kirby's Avalance

    a talking Kirby!

    and a trash-talking one!

    I am joking - I'm all about anti-modern / original stuff
  • Vetusomaru @ Vetusomaru:
    even at the current year Sega still does crap like making a generic cartoon-style Westernization of Puyo Puyo Quest: https://puyonexus.com/wiki/Cranky_Food_Friends

    Sega never learns

    @Vetusomaru Not all RPGs that came to 4th generation consoles got released on systems besides the Mega Drive were on the SNES, at least not initially. *Ahem* PC Engine aka TG-16
  • Vetusomaru @ Vetusomaru:
    the big names were at SNES
  • Vetusomaru @ Vetusomaru:
    PC Engine mostly had jrpgs from Hudson
  • Vetusomaru @ Vetusomaru:
    SNES pretty much had the monopoly at jrpgs
  • Megadriver94 @ Megadriver94:
    Yes, in the console department, most definitely. Home computers were a different story, especially in the 8-bit era
  • K3Nv2 @ K3Nv2:
    Android boxes kind of killed off the need for any 8bit target only devices
  • K3Nv2 @ K3Nv2:
    Pre 2020 I'd say buy a Nvidia shield for all games up to ps1 but devices like ayaneo wrecked it with hdmi out same principles but faster SoC
  • Megadriver94 @ Megadriver94:
    What kind of Android boxes? Also, some Ayaneo devices don't use android by default.
  • K3Nv2 @ K3Nv2:
    There are still others like retroid pocket some Anbernic devices and what not that have hdmi out
  • Megadriver94 @ Megadriver94:
    Oh, Alright then.
  • K3Nv2 @ K3Nv2:
    Shield TV was about $200 msrp these days I'd highly recommend Rp5 in that price bracket over Nvidia shield
  • K3Nv2 @ K3Nv2:
    You'd have to buy some type of BT remote but at the end of the day same stuff basically
  • Megadriver94 @ Megadriver94:
    Anywho, I am quite sure that the PS3, with it's more often than not overly complicated architecture, is why Valve gave up on making games for consoles.
