7 Reasons Why You Should Be Worried About The Nintendo Switch
3. The Switch Hasn't Caught Up With Our World – Yet
Instead of looking at the world we’re in, it feels like the Switch is still trying to change the world of the 1980s. Fair enough, the Xbox One shipped with a drought of apps, but at least it was online-ready and loaded with an internet browser. We’ve been doing that since Netscape was a thing.
How about the bizarre decision to only include a 32GB of memory at a time when digital downloads are seriously on the increase, forcing rivals to bring out consoles with a higher storage capacity (which handily helps boost the bank balance too; maybe that’s Nintendo’s endgame – a Switch 8000-terrabyte model, just £2,000,000).
Nintendo never really fully embraced that whole online thing anyway. The virtual Store was clunky, tying games to consoles not accounts. Multiplayer is practically non-existent (kudos to Splatoon).
All you need is space for game saves.
Oh, and the DLC. Even when Nintendo do try to catch up with the flow of modern-day gaming, they learn all the wrong lessons from their competitors, as with the Zelda season pass that was sprung on gamers out of nowhere and includes such gems as… hard mode.
Because Nintendo.
