Nintendo Switch: new Firmware update (Ver. 10.0.0)
- Thread starter Lite_Agent
- Start date
I really only used folders to organize my VC games and games I didn't play a whole lot. So for the Switch I am not really missing folders a whole lot.
I seemed to have conflated your post with someone elses who mentioned how the updates were "worthless". My bad.
Really ?
I thought it was just to prevent interferences with the joy cons.
Oh wow, I have 15 games and only play 5 currently, so folders aren't that big of a deal. It's a nice feature, but button mapping is Huge and so is save transfer.
for me Mario 3 is awkward to play without button mapping.

We got button mapping and save transfer, but some people just want to complain about folders.the Internet is full of people overreacting
peoples reaction to no folders:
I'd be honestly happy with Virtual Surround.
Don't understand why they didn't keep it. Don't understand why they don't put it back.
Don't even care about themes or folders, and if they ever put them, i want them to go all out like on 3DS

So what? People can't complain? Give me a fucking break!
There is no new save transfer with this update.
And so what. People have a right to opinions on updates.
They and I have been waiting years for folder options. Of course it's going to be continual disappointment until it arrives.
I don't give a crap about new theme options but I'm fine with people wanting them.
I
folddr is the most needed update. Or at least. Way to rearrange games order !!!!
I want my most played game at first without the need to go to an extra menu. And yet every time a game update it goes first place. Annoying. Im often« opening/closing » my 12 most played game at the moment to have them in the main page

Since you insist on being THAT guy, I'm type this crap out.
Gonna clarify the folder thing one more time and why people are gonna make a big deal about themes and folders each time we get a new update without them. And I'm speaking as someone who doesn't care about themes personally. This is taking previous update threads and "why doesn't have Switch have x yet" threads over the last three years into account.
My Switch OS experience so far.
Pay for online that's technically worse than the Wii U's in some ways. Fine.
No in system voice chat. Fine.
No media apps besides Hulu. Fine.
Worse activity log. Fine.
Lose Virtual Console. Fine.
These are all things I accepted with little complaint.
But I drew the line at folders because I couldn't imagine an argument against adding such a low bar OPTION, but there's ALWAYS a defense force. Every missing thing is something for someone to needlessly defend because somehow any optional feature is a threat to "snappiness" whether it makes sense or not. "No, I don't want Netflix, I'm actually glad the Switch doesn't have Netflix." actual words I've read on this forum, but a request for folders seems ridiculous because "well, I don't need them, so why do you?" And of course "Switches are selling like hot cakes without them so who cares?" As if that means everyone that owns the device has absolutely no critique of something it can do better.
It's okay to ask for things. SOME things.
I'm not screaming folders because they're important, I'm emphasizing how banal of a request they are in lieu of better features they've offered in the past. Plus, you know, if we're gonna have the "bring everything to Switch" attitude, it'd be nice to keep them organized.

If you don't care about folders, complaining about people complaining acomplishes nothing except making you seem extremely defensive of a corporation that doesn't know you, as an individual, exists.
Complaining about the lack of features, on the other hand, eventually calls the developers' atention to what people as a colective want, leading to improvements for everyone, like the remapping feature added this time.

now I'm gonna be that guy, but the Switch has a pretty good YouTube app, gotten some good use out of it
no idea why Netflix hasn't made an app for it yet though
also the full activity log would've been sick to be able to see on your friends' profiles, the current solution is so wack
this post ended up being pretty pointless but I'mma post it anyway
i Didn't know that was a thing. I want all the features they had on 3ds and Wii.
3DS and Wii U had Virtual Surround, both by sound reflection and HRTF
It worked really well
I want at least HRTF surround on headset. It's a regression I can't believe Nintendo actually made
I actually really like the YT app too, fun to just kick back on the couch and watch people fuck up in Dragons Den
Now if only the rest of the OS was up to par...
If I browse the internet, talk to friends through messages or voice chat, etc I wouldnt even need a PC; i'd just sit with my Switch all day.
the lack of a user-accessible web browser is a bigger deal than folders
Okay so clearly none of that sunk in.
Yeah man, and the Wii U had a really good browser apparently (never tried it).
N3DS browser was pretty good too actually, I used to watch anime on it and listen to music.
It was very good. Even had a dev mode and custom hooks into the controller's buttons, gyroscopes and accelerometer. You could make games on your computer, host it locally, then test it on your Wii U. Plus all the nice features like letting you load a video on youtube, push it to the TV and continue browsing on the gamepad. Plus scrubbing the videos is nice with the touchscreen....clearly I liked it.
lack of a web browser is a big deal imo
you accuse people of not listening to you with such vitriol, but then don't listen to anyone else
if you don't think I'm on your side at this point I guess I ought to just stop posting because you're rightfully mad and you're looking for people tp be mad at
I'm not mad tho. Annoyed by Homer, but not mad. If that's how it reads, I can't help that. Just saying things in a matter of fact way.
But the point is I ended my post by saying folders aren't that important, but just a basic request. Then you said web browsers are important (obviously) hence my impression my point didn't sink in.
This is simply bored during the quarantine posting.
The point of the whole post was, so many bigger things have blown over or ignored or done worse, I'm just willing to settle for folders at this point.
For you ....

yah I admittedly used it for the same but that seems irrelevant now for the most part. the 3ds and wii also had all kinds of other little mini apps that weren't games so it was nice to be able to at least move them around. The switch UI isn't perfect but for finding and booting up games it's actually pretty snappy. Folders just isn't something I really miss. I feel for those who do.
my Switch is my favorite way to watch Youtube when I'm moving around, I wish I could watch Netflix on it when in the kitchen making/eating dinner
Fair enough and I used it on the 3ds/wii u but those consoles also had virtual console and a bunch of other icons that weren't games, both things that are absent on the switch so I just haven't felt the need for folder. They way the games are organized is also different and mirrors the ps4 functionality, I have also never used folders there either.
I get that it's a quality of life thing for some people but it's hardly a critical missing feature. The thing functions perfectly well without it
I think I've got you, yeah
I think what's particularly annoying about the web browser is that it exists and is used by some applications and system functions, but it's not open to end users
of course, there's the opportunity for hacking with an open web browser that the very basic function of folders wouldn't allow
I don't have much to say, I shouldn't have gotten involved
youtube app is good tho y'all don't sleep on it
LOL it functions the same for me as it does for you. I don't have special switch firmware.
The control remapping is amazingly great for my wife.
She has been a huge Animal Crossing fan since the original US release and has been eagerly anticipating New Horizons.
Last year she had a stroke and lost dexterity in her left hand (getting better through rehab.)
AC uses the left joystick for movement and the right for pretty much nothing (toggle camera modes, actually.) She has been struggling with moving around, often using her right hand on the left joystick. AC has been a stressful experience for her in what could be her best gaming experience in years.
Today I remapped the L and R joystick her Switch and it's really opened it up for her; allowing her to enjoy the game much, much more.
Thank you (finally) Nintendo.
