Comment on Reliable tech leaker posts a ‘360-degree render’ of Nintendo’s new console [VGC]
Megaman_EXE@beehaw.org 2 days agoI’m actually super curious how easy/hard it’ll be to grab a console at launch. I’m also very curious if the switch 2 will have a stable launch without any weird launchday bugs like the original had.

What kind of bugs did the console have at launch? I must admit I wasn’t taking it particularly seriously when it came out and didn’t pay much attention to it.

It was some weird stuff with the screen and audio issues. Probably weird software issues that were fixed with a patch.
This video isn’t the best example as it cherry picks and nitpicks a bit. But there’s some examples of the weird issues too.

I actually don’t know how widespread the issues were or if they were overblown, but I remember seeing them pop up for the first couple of months after release. I didn’t really hear about any problems after that, so I don’t really know.
My assumption is that the likelihood of these issues repeating is very slim. They probably based the software and hardware off of the existing switch, so I would think it would be less buggy and more refined, but I guess we’ll have to see.
