You're opinion totally counts for everyone /s
Never said it did. I gave an opinion followed by an explanation of that opinion. you, on the other hand, decided to refer to me as a child for holding such opinion rather than just stating your opinion and providing a counter-point. Before you go treating others like children, perhaps you should consider acting like an adult.

Someone woke up on the wrong side of the crib.

I, for one, would like Youtube, Netflix, the works, on ALL of my capable devices. Having it on the switch would be killer. Just because you don't want it doesn't mean that others wouldn't.
They never said others wouldn't want it. What they did say was Netflix is available on so many devices now that the switch not having it won't cause problems and that they personally have no use. You on the other hand have, instead of making any actual counter argument to that point, have decided to use ad hominem attacks instead

I really-really hope YT on Switch won't be that restricted and bad-quality piece of shit it's on Wii U and 3DS, since now we don't even have the ability to use it in the browser (well, without some tinkering, that is).

I would think they would be a good feature if the switching modes work. Imagine people with limited TVs. A parent or sibling wants to use the tv. No probably, slide tbe switch out of the dock and they can continue watching without needimg to switch to another device. I can see tbe tag line now, switch the switch not devices. Nintendo you can use that, but you must pay me or credit my name in the ad.

If the Switch had these apps, others and a basic media player it probably would get a lot more use by its users and newcomers would be interested because of it too. While it may seem that stuff such as sports games and YouTube, Netflix, Hulu, etc don't matter, they do.

Reggie said they're coming, wouldn't be surprised if we see news of it at E3. It still feels like the Switch is kinda in a pre-launch stage. Things we know are coming just aren't here yet: a much more robust online service, a virtual console, and media players like Netflix and Youtube. They're all coming, but I bet they want to announce all that stuff at once, likely at E3, so as to make everything seem all the more exciting.

I Want FUNimation and Crunchyroll on Switch. That will not happen until Nintendo adds DRM support. Even the websites need DRM to play the videos.

In fact, I wouldn't mind all of the streaming services on Switch. It is better to have the apps and not use them than to need them and not have them available.

    It could get banned from PSN but you can change your ID I think?
  • Xdqwerty @ Xdqwerty:
    also gonna install twilight menu in my r4 flashcard
  • Psionic Roshambo @ Psionic Roshambo:
    One thing that just occurred to me.... The sound on the 2600 sucked less back then the harsh sound we hear now is from infinitely better speakers we have now, back when the 2600 was new speakers produced a almost muffled sound, like CRTs made old graphics look slightly better.
  • Psionic Roshambo @ Psionic Roshambo:
    I wonder if I could recommend that to some emulation devs that perhaps the sound could use some smoothing out to simulate those old TVs
  • Psionic Roshambo @ Psionic Roshambo:
    I think a few of the early systems could benefit from that, at least up to the 8 bit generation, by the 16 bit generation I think TVs had gotten a lot better in almost every way

  • Psionic Roshambo @ Psionic Roshambo:
    It's old but it's the best firmware out for DS stuff
  • Xdqwerty @ Xdqwerty:
    it says it only works for the original R4, R4i Gold (r4ids.cn), R4iDSN (r4idsn.com) and Acekard R.P.G.
  • Xdqwerty @ Xdqwerty:
