I would love to have a web browser. I used to watch anime on my TV with my Wii U, but the browser is too out-of-date now and can't load the sites to do that.
Also, while we're on the topic of web browsers, it would be nice to download images to set as a wallpaper, like on PS Vita.

More streaming services (e.g. Netflix and Amazon), a USB media player and free save backups for every save.

Doubt these will happen though.

Before anyone asks, I’d like the former two because it would mean I wouldn’t need a Fire Stick when travelling via dock mode.

Doubt we’ll see a full web browser since they’ll likely just see it as a potential for hacking.

Honestly, I prefer the history-based system on Switch as opposed to Wii U and 3DS. It's simple, less cluttered, and there's still sorting in the All Software menu if you need it.

home menu management
themes of some sort
I'm sick of getting a new system and having to create a new user and losing access to everything I've purchased previously. It should all just carry over. So, that.
Cloud backups for all.

Achievements for sure. Also: some way to communicate with friends, like instant messages or comment sections. :unsure:

Doesn't it already have some sort of browser installed that is used to access social platforms when sharing screenshots/videos? I kinda assumed it had the potential to load other web pages but was locked into only ever accessing Facebook and Twitter.

Theme, folders, and a customisable lock screen with game shortcuts maybe?

I think its very disappointing that the OS has pretty much remained the same since launch, but at least its snappy and gets the job done, instead of waiting forever for a Wii U to boot up, ugh

You actually can use an internet browser, it's just a ton of work and not that worth it, unless you want to play some switch browser games.
(Would post link here but can't because I cannot post hyperlinks yet.)
-Miiverse
I definitely agree, I loved the Miiverse so much I named myself after it.

Also, a virtual console with Gamecube games would be nice. Super Mario 3D All-Stars is already emulating a Gamecube game, so why not have more available?

  • Sicklyboy @ Sicklyboy:
    @TwoSpikedHands, I'll preface this with the fact that I know nothing about the game, but, I think it depends on what your goals are. Are you trying to make a definitive version of the game? You may want to refocus your efforts on the EU version then. Or, are you trying to make a better US version? In which case, the only way to make a better US version is to keep on plugging away at that one ;)
  • Sicklyboy @ Sicklyboy:
    I'm not familiar with the technicalities of the differences between the two versions, but I'm wondering if at least some of those differences are things that you could port over to the US version in your patch without having to include copyrighted assets from the EU version
  • TwoSpikedHands @ TwoSpikedHands:
    @Sicklyboy I am wanting to fully change the game and bend it to my will lol. I would like to eventually have the ability to add more characters, enemies, even have a completely different story if i wanted. I already have the ability to change the tilemaps in the US version, so I can basically make my own map and warp to it in game - so I'm pretty far into it!
  • TwoSpikedHands @ TwoSpikedHands:
    I really would like to make a hack that I would enjoy playing, and maybe other people would too. swapping to the EU version would also mean my US friends could not legally play it
  • TwoSpikedHands @ TwoSpikedHands:
    I am definitely considering porting over some of the EU features without using the actual ROM itself, tbh that would probably be the best way to go about it... but i'm sad that the voice acting is so.... not good on the US version. May not be a way around that though
  • TwoSpikedHands @ TwoSpikedHands:
    I appreciate the insight!
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    @TwoSpikedHands just switch, all the knowledge you learned still applies and most of the code and assets should be the same anyway
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    and realistically they wouldn't

    be able to play it legally anyway since they need a ROM and they probably don't have the means to dump it themselves
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    why the shit does the shitbox randomly insert newlines in my messages
  • Veho @ Veho:
    It does that when I edit a post.
  • Veho @ Veho:
    It inserts a newline in a random spot.
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    never had that i don't think
  • Karma177 @ Karma177:
    do y'all think having an sd card that has a write speed of 700kb/s is a bad idea?
    trying to restore emunand rn but it's taking ages... (also when I finished the first time hekate decided to delete all my fucking files :wacko:)
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    @Karma177 that sd card is 100% faulty so yes, its a bad idea
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    even the slowest non-sdhc sd cards are a few MB/s
  • Karma177 @ Karma177:
    @The Real Jdbye it hasn't given me any error trying to write things on it so I don't really think it's faulty (pasted 40/50gb+ folders and no write errors)
  • DinohScene @ DinohScene:
    run h2testw on it

  • DinohScene @ DinohScene:
    when SD cards/microSD write speeds drop below a meg a sec, they're usually on the verge of dying

  • Psionic Roshambo @ Psionic Roshambo:
    Samsung SD format can sometimes fix them too
  • Purple_Heart @ Purple_Heart:
    yes looks like an faulty sd
  • Purple_Heart @ Purple_Heart:
    @Psionic Roshambo i may try that with my dead sd cards
    +1
  • Psionic Roshambo @ Psionic Roshambo:
    It's always worth a shot
  • TwoSpikedHands @ TwoSpikedHands:
    @The Real Jdbye, I considered that, but i'll have to wait until i can get the eu version in the mail lol
  • I @ I-need-help-with-wup-wiiu:
