I've never bought a console at launch, specifically for this reason. They're usually the worst version of the console, with the fewest games, and lack of actually good games built for them. I've always just kept on with the previous gen until the pro, slim, or whatever version game out with an actually decently sized library of games and support. This does not excuse companies from selling faulty shit, but if you're aware it happens you can just avoid it.
doesn't matter that you don't buy it at launch. As long as people buy shit like this they will keep making it. Every single person that owns a switch is to blame for the next console being even worse.
@@davidnodland4591 my guy... what? are you saying no one should have bought the switch because of the bad launch? Of which nearly anything technical has issues with initial releases lol
Bought the Switch at day one and luckily I’ve never had these issues,but the console is actually poorly made. The drift is still a huge problem for joycons , in fact I started to play only with separate controllers.
I had issues with the OLED on launch. Bought one from best buy launch day and it would not connect to wifi properly or even launch a game. After hours of internet search to try and fix it with a soft reset or something, I returned it luckily found one at a target and its been great ever since.
Yeah I'm not buying electronics day 1 after I bought my last phone on release and after almost 1 year the battery started to swell, had issues with bluetooth and randomly froze and then shut down. The impatient can be beta testers so I get polished product
Hello, i actually bought a brand new Nintendo switch oled and since I have never had a Nintendo before I don’t know if it’s the actual problem. I seem to have problem with internet connection and constantly being disconnected from the games due to some errors. Aside these problems happening on my switch, my wifi is really good, so I’m not quite sure if it’s the oled’s problem or is it universal thing?
Even at that I don’t understand how brainless one has to be to put it on upside down. It just felt like common sense to not put it in that way. Ig it’s my ocd or smth, putting it on upside just felt wrong.

I got lucky as hell. Never once had these issues with the switch. Albiet i didint get my first switch until a year after the switch released but i heard people had problems with OLED switch aswell. Which when i bough one of those, i didint have any issues either. And yea we didint have the greatest first party catalogue at launch imo besides a couple games but "the painful launch of the switch" is heavily overdramatized imo The dock has never scratched my screen before. Not until a few years after having one. The joycon problems i did have however about 2 years after getting the thing. Im not denying that people didint issues tho. The oled switch aswell as the refined 2020 switch models are fefined a bit tho and have fixed most of these issues tho.
You’re right that the video was over dramatic, there’s clips where there’s not even problems like where the guy just has one joycon and lower battery or where the dude had the Joycons set up wrong
See. Being poor has a bad reputation. When you're poor, it can take a couple years to get the newest console but when you finally can get it, all, or most of the console-breaking bugs should be fixed.
I bought a switch off launch and the only problem with it was that one of the joycons became a bit loose on the left because one of the clips broke, still worked perfectly just that, sold it a couple months back but honestly it never had any problems
I got my switch at LAUNCH like the day it released, and my switch is having problems at the current moment. The SD card reader isn’t saying the SD card is inside of the switch, when it is. I’ve tried like 3 different SD cards and the same problem. I don’t really care that its not working, because I can fix it anytime myself. It doesn’t have a warranty on it anymore since its been like what 5 or 6 years since I bought the console, so I don’t have to worry about losing out on it. However, some of the games on the switch use console save data which is… just outright bubonic, but yeah. I completely regret getting it at launch.
People make fun of Nintendo for making their consoles for babies but you start to realise why they dumb things down when so many people can't figure out the way to lock/unlock the wrist strap attachment 💀
Their demographic *is* manchildren to be fair. Can't blame the demographic that only had to put the cartridge in the right way when they grew up and even that they did wring...
ive never understood why they slot in so well when its the wrong way tho. very forseeable and preventable problem, nintendo shouldve just added a lil piece of plastic to stop that from happening
Mine never did this and neither did any of the people I know who own one. And the only time the little black handle things get stuck on the individual controllers is if you put them on wrong, and even then they aren’t “cemented” on and are easily removable.
I always kinda laugh looking at other people who bought the switch at launch at had dozens and dozens of problems, and my switch of 5 years having had none of them, not even a hint of joy-con drifting 😆

Shoutout to the Xbox elite controllers, gotta order a new one in advance every time I wanna play a souls-like game because every moving part on the controller fucking dismembers itself from the inside out with every press.
Never had a problem with xbox controllers but about a dozen 360's broke themselves thru no fault of my own and also lost an xbox one and have an xbox one x that no longer reads discs. Also have an xbox one s that needs to be taken in and fixed every year
Funny how he protects the xbox controller and laughs at the switch, when its the exact same situation. The switch didnt have major launch problems in fact it was the absolute minority that had those issues i had 4 switches in my past 4 years of living and none of them had ANY issue at all not even one of the ones in the video. And i bought 2 of my 4 switches on day 1 in my hometown. Its allways the case with electronic devices on launch they will be single individual cases that faces issues which is normal but the majority was happily pleased with the switch therefore its major succsess. Not saying the consol is perfect by any means but its obviously not as bad as the video try to portrait it.
i am happy to have waited on buying the switch at launch. got mine a year later or so, when the "2nd version" game out (before the Red box version), have not had a single problem, and i use the console daily, i have since updated to the OLED version, still not a single problem... i am sad to see people have any problems with the console, but the same happened to XBOX and Playstation launches (not all the consoles, but many of them)
I remember watching that back in the days and being like "OMFG SWITCH IS SO BAD LMAOLMAOLMAO" and then 5 months after I bought mine and never had an issue with it. My Joycon though sometimes was disconnecting for no obvious reason but other than that, everything was great. Hacking scene is also really nice and, I barely had any problem. It's really case by case.
I find it amazing that these people bought the switch at launch and it was almost fucked up immediately which makes me believe they were just not taking care of it as soon as I got it
They fixed this pretty quick tho, i got mine in the second wave and have not had any problems with it, besides the dock wearing out a bit in connectivity and the drift issues, but those came years after i got it.
All the Nintendo shills in denial, but their consoles have constantly had crashing and memory issues. Remember when Nintendo fucking sold cardboard boxes, instead of the previous gen first-party products like plastic Wii remote wheels and Wii remote guns. The hardware capabilities of Nintendo are no where near other platforms because as a company they prioritise cost-effectiveness over user experience. Obviously the switch is nowhere near facing the amount of technical issues it was at launch but it still has stick drift for the joycons and the only reason Nintendo hasn't patented a new version is because they expect you to purchase a new set once you experience the problems. I'm not saying you can't enjoy first-party Nintendo games, they have some bangers. It's just people need to weigh the pros and cons before mindlessly defending billion dollar corporations because once they do it leads to management being more lenient and letting things like this slide.
Literally bought the console and Zelda at launch. Never had a single issue or glitch. And trust me, as someone who loves to hate big companies, I'd wax poetic about the stupidest things just to deride a game I didn't like that was popular. But literally just never had a glitch with the game on the switch at all.
its what i do i buy 3-4 controller at 20$ each, i know at least 1-2 will be shit and the other can go for 1 years, 2 if im lucky, buying controllers is just gambling, its crazy
I just use the regular controller I got with the Xbox series X console, granted I haven't had it for a crazy time, I got it in January this year, but I have 0 issues and personally have no issue with it being the regular version, but when I played ps4 those controllers were dogshit, I remember it having this crazy joystick drift where it would like shoot up and twitch and shit, was weird
Every console system has this videos after launch when millions buy them for the first time. The funny thing is that Switches had design problems in all of them PepeLaugh
I was there for the launch, didn't hear any of these issues. It must have taken a huge effort scraping social media for it to put tohether into a video. It gave people the wrong impression and frankly, it's a huge misfire for them.

no it has nothing to do with "being protective". you saying that is really cringey too because you're implying other people are just throwing theirs around which obviously isn't true. it's literally just hardware RNG. it's very common but usually isn't even close to this bad
@@jeffsanders5444 Because they are literally showing video evidence of the issues happening in real time LMAO. Argument doesn't even make sense. Like, what are you even trying to get at 😂?
My first elite series 1 controller had stick drift straight out of the box and after less than a day of use would not stay powered on, youd press and hold the home button it would light up but would fade after 1 second, unusable, had a free swap and the replacement worked perfectly for 2 to 3 years, only in the last week has the left analog began to not regester downpresses, overall very solid if its not borked out the gate. Planning on getting a S2 soon keeping my fingies crossed I get a solid one!
I love how many new controllers I had to buy, because of their lifespan💀 I rarely play on the switch (because it's a shit experience every time) and I still had to buy new controllers 3 times... like dude, how low is the quality of that shit?
Its a propaganda video, every piece of tech has defective units, and yes i’m still mad from the impact this video had in 2017 Aware at least the console still sold well
Nintendo has been going down hill ever since the wii U. While the switch is a cool idea, essentially everything else other than it being portable is garbage. The joy cons cost 60 dollars (at least where I buy them), the console’s fan spins so loudly and the console still gets hot, and the joy con drift… I remember a time where no controllers ever did that for any console, but now it seems like video game companies can’t make a controller without it being complete with a side of 5 different problems. Once again, another L for console gamers.
I disagree about the new Xbox controller (the one designed for the Xbox series x) I’ve had it for a long long time and no problems I was genuinely impressed and still am how much better it feels than the first version of the controller especially with its hefty ness, grip, and how the bumpers feel compared to the clickly bumpers of the original. I’ve had it for probably around 2 years and no problems at all where as I’ve gone through about probably 4 or 5 controllers just regularly using them
I bought my switch when it just released Every time I use online that drains my battery so fasttt one joycon died and the other drifts so I play with a separate controller and I spent so much money to fix it bc it literally died
I know nintendo should've made a way to make it easier to remove to joycon straps if u mess up but still, there's literally the plus and minus logos which tells u which joycon the strap is for, it makes sense for kids to get them mixed up but grown ass adults, come on bro. Other than that, it was quite messy, luckily I didn't experience anything bad with mine.
Nintendo was so lazy with this console. They should have continued with the home and handheld consoles and taken all the time they need to have the consoles actually be good and functional.

@@jeffsanders5444 Because they are literally showing video evidence of the issues happening in real time LMAO. Argument doesn't even make sense. Like, what are you even trying to get at 😂?
I feel bad..
words i learned from the wise TotalBiscuit befor he passed awey was dont buy console at release wait some months or 1 year
My first elite series 1 controller had stick drift straight out of the box and after less than a day of use would not stay powered on, youd press and hold the home button it would light up but would fade after 1 second, unusable, had a free swap and the replacement worked perfectly for 2 to 3 years, only in the last week has the left analog began to not regester downpresses, overall very solid if its not borked out the gate. Planning on getting a S2 soon keeping my fingies crossed I get a solid one!
bruh xqc didnt even finish the video he just quit it halfway through and watched something else related to it. bros turning into forsen
still have my at-launch switch, never had any issues the only one being the thing was too fun ngl
I love how many new controllers I had to buy, because of their lifespan💀 I rarely play on the switch (because it's a shit experience every time) and I still had to buy new controllers 3 times... like dude, how low is the quality of that shit?
You see what I did was just slam it and it fixed all my problems.
not playing splatoon 3 Sadge
Sucks for them I never had this issue LUL
Same LULW
Its a propaganda video, every piece of tech has defective units, and yes i’m still mad from the impact this video had in 2017 Aware at least the console still sold well
@@Jellicent782 Why did many people get sent defective units though, was there like no quality control at Nintendo?
Wow actually good comments
Nintendo has been going down hill ever since the wii U. While the switch is a cool idea, essentially everything else other than it being portable is garbage. The joy cons cost 60 dollars (at least where I buy them), the console’s fan spins so loudly and the console still gets hot, and the joy con drift… I remember a time where no controllers ever did that for any console, but now it seems like video game companies can’t make a controller without it being complete with a side of 5 different problems. Once again, another L for console gamers.
I'm glad I got it on release, my version didn't have any issues and since it was bought at release it is able to be jailbroken and I can pirate games
The dentist tool is a dab tool 🤣😂🤣😂🤣 PotFriend
7:28 and 9:40 what is happening LMAO
I disagree about the new Xbox controller (the one designed for the Xbox series x) I’ve had it for a long long time and no problems I was genuinely impressed and still am how much better it feels than the first version of the controller especially with its hefty ness, grip, and how the bumpers feel compared to the clickly bumpers of the original. I’ve had it for probably around 2 years and no problems at all where as I’ve gone through about probably 4 or 5 controllers just regularly using them
0:04 that shit is the biggest form of false advertising I have ever seen. BotW looked like dogshit
I bought my switch when it just released Every time I use online that drains my battery so fasttt one joycon died and the other drifts so I play with a separate controller and I spent so much money to fix it bc it literally died
Isn't it better just to display switch's screen over a monitor? You'd get more frames and less battery consumption as well
This so funny because it never happened to my switch and had me dying.
I know nintendo should've made a way to make it easier to remove to joycon straps if u mess up but still, there's literally the plus and minus logos which tells u which joycon the strap is for, it makes sense for kids to get them mixed up but grown ass adults, come on bro. Other than that, it was quite messy, luckily I didn't experience anything bad with mine.
Nintendo was so lazy with this console. They should have continued with the home and handheld consoles and taken all the time they need to have the consoles actually be good and functional.
the switch 2 will save us
mobile frogs defending in the comments OMEGALUL
Akshuly my Nintendo didn't have issues so obviously everyone of the people who had issues in this video are cherry picked 🤓
I watched this vid every day 4 years ago good times xD
