Got a Nintendo Switch and I'm disappointed

I'd give it some time. Remember the 3DS didn't even launch with an eShop, and only really picked up traction a year after release. I feel like the Switch will continue to grow.

(The Switch has eShop though)

(Yeah I know, and so does the blog poster? I'm saying the system is still in early days and will get better)

(Oh, okay. It's still too early to judge it since it's actively updated when a new issue is found)

Vita menu music is one of the best IMO, but the Wii one was also nice. Sad that the switch doesn't have one

I think nintendo is avoiding any way to possible exploit or hack the system. Is just one idea.

Second is the OS is very incomplete. The fact that all it can do out the box is play games is sad yes, but more features will come with updates. (So if you looking for homebrew this early, maybe least consider you are encouraged to stay on as low firmware as possible and that low firmware means most of the basic system functions it should have isn't available until updates.) Best to just play it and keep updating until it gets enough content for what you want from it. Or sell it and get something that is already more complete.

Yeah it could had SOMETHING useful to do besides play a game on it, like media player, youtube, or even twitch watching or direct streaming, a camera and mic, and a mess of other stuff SHIELD TABLET HAS but no, nintendo will be nintendo.

(Oh look Blaster master Zero and Mighty Gunvolt burst both on eshop for $10, what a good deal for video games on switch.)

@Sonic Angel Knight i think you nailed your first point but the featureless switch issue is likely related to your second point
i feel its what they did with wii and 3ds (probably wiiu as well . . . i dont follow that scene) in an attempt to get people to update beyond the point where nintendo discovered a fixable exploit to a version with the patch included

I love that it doesn't have any annoying jingles. Oh man the peace and quite....

I'm glad there's no background music either on the main menu or on the eShop. I hated it on the WiiU.

I don't get you tempers, ugh

I'm indifferent but background music is still nice. I bet you eventually since we have two different themes right now that there will be home menu themes that you can get like the 3ds that adds music.
If not there will always be homebrew later along the line that can hopefully remedy this

There's a tab just for Switch themes, though of course there's only White and Black, it's highly likely a theme shop will be added later, along with other features (Youtube/Netflix hopefully soon, as my TV only has for a single HDMI cable).

@Garro Get something like this http://a.co/5rzsnKI, I have a couple and always come in handy.

diet coke clickbait

We'll see, honestly. Yeah, the lack of music is boring.. Borderline eerie in my honest opinion. Oo

I pretty much agree with what ScarletKohaku and Sonic Angel Knight said. On the software side, the Switch is still very, very barebones. We can only hope that things will improve and pick up with future system updates.
