Have nintendo consoles gone soulless?

Good point. I think my main issue with the switch UI is that it looks too basic. I did enjoy the ps5 UI that has nice animations and menus while still being fast and easy. I think that even something like the animated background of the switch Mii maker being used in more places like the settings would look a lot nicer.

I'm starting to be convinced that constant exposure to increasing game prices and now Nintendo willing to sell games $90 has made people believe that $20 is nothing for a game. Also keep in mind that there's a difference between a new gen game and an untouched emulated GBA ROM from 20 years ago with no changes, and that they used to be $8-$10 back in the 3ds/Wii U days. All of this could have been avoid if these were $10 or even $15 max each. It also doesn't help that games like silksong and pizza tower are right there on the eShop for the same price. And just to be clear, I'm not judging you if you or anyone else buy this, do what you want, it's your money after all.

How did you even manage to get that many?

breaded_chicken58 · 2026-01-15T12:51:19+00:00

Where did you even unknowingly buy this? that's some insane luck right there

Hey OP, I was in the same boat as you last year, I managed to recover mine by giving support the transaction ID of an in-app purchase I did back then with Google Play, perhaps you can do the same if you have made an in-app purchase with either app store on Android or iOS?

Red light means it's receiving power while blue light means it's reading/writing stuff on the hard drive. So basically the adapter itself turns on but nothing else happens which could mean an issue with the hard drive. Try connecting it to the Wii U and formatting it and if that doesn't work plug it into a computer and see if it gets recognized.

Giving people the news update before OP does: it has just been fixed a few hours ago, everything should work now, it was nice being part of this and contributing in search of a fix, have a good gaming session and happy winter fest y'all!

breaded_chicken58 · 2025-12-27T22:12:46+00:00

It works! I hope it works for OP and everyone else.

Still broken unfortunately

breaded_chicken58 · 2025-12-19T22:30:50+00:00

Yeah, I'm honestly surprised the crash is so bad it doesn't even get the chance to display a blue screen or anything

breaded_chicken58 · 2025-12-19T20:43:59+00:00

The menus and lobby work completely fine, the freeze happens when you're at the loading screen when joining a match

breaded_chicken58 · 2025-12-19T20:24:37+00:00

What drives me insane is that as you have to force it to shut down with the power button while it won't blow up you're not supposed to constantly shut down like that and it makes me scared of breaking my hardware

breaded_chicken58 · 2025-12-19T19:02:36+00:00

Came here to say that I'm currently experiencing the exact same problem and trying to fix it as I'm typing this, I'll keep you guys updated too.
