>console

why does it need one? I have my phone on me at all times.

I don't have a phone.

>Wii launches with a browser
>stopped using it immediately after the gimmick wears off
>Wii U launches with a browser
>Never use it at all
Why should I give a fuck?

Who the fuck buys a console for a fucking internet browser?
You have one on the computer your posting on right now.

you have a computer with one installed already, youre not taking the switch out and want to connect to the internet that way, you sound like a faggot OP

Yeah who cares if it doesn't have basic features of a modern day console

>No phone in 2017

Throw your beeper away and get with the times.

Sorry, I don't want those companies to get my personal details. I'm not a retard.

>browsing the internet on a console

Yeah I love using a joystick to type URLs with an on screen keyboard. Great way to browse the internet.

cheeky fuck

no one wants your personal information, trust me , youre trying to talk shit about a game console you most likely dont have

apparently game devs have access a internet browser on the switch
nintendo really freaked out about piracy this time

The only feature it needs is to play good games, something the other consoles seem to lack

>He doesn't browse the Internet with his Smart TV

People use console browsers?

Then why did you make this thread complaining about the lack of a browser when companies can mine info on you through your search options

switch has touch screen
really its like using a larger phone but not nearly tablet size

Internet browser and multimedia functions are important for selling the switch. Think like this real quick like. Why would normie American mom buy her kid a switch instead of an Ipad.

The switch would be really great if it was SIM card compatible. Debate me.

i dont think they have an issue selling them

Too many types of network infrastuctures

how much would that increase the manufacturer consumer cost.

>console internet browsers

is this how the Brazilians shitpost on v?

Why would anyone care if it had an internet browser? People would just use their smartphones or computers.

its cheaper

>doesn't want phones to track your information
>ok if a console tracks your information

>A standard even in Nintendo's own consoles is now removed

It's okay when...

Also the thing has more ports than the fucking Vita

u wot m8

Answer the question.

Because Nintendo are trust worthy, phone companies are not. Stupid sheep.

>have to pay for the SIM AND for the online subscription to play online game
lol no

Okay but seriously Nintendo just really doesn't want to develop apps for it this year, since that don't want to complete with real tablets.

Maybe after the initial sales go well they'll add some, but the marketing wants to focus on games first. Which it smart, since a lack of focus is what killed the Wii U and initially damaged the Xbox One.

Underage Sup Forums is all ps4 brozzer.

LMAO SWITCH IS A TABLET
>but it's not a tablet, it only plays games and doesn't have any apps
LMAO SWITCH IS A TABLET WITH NO APPS, NINTENDOOOOMED
>Switch gets apps through an update
LMAO I ALREADY HAVE MY PHONE/TABLET FOR THAT SHIT WHY WOULD I BUY A SWITCH

tl;dr shitposters will shitpost in any case because they're a sad bunch of people.

Why is it a basic feature though?
Maybe I don't get it as a PC-focused gamer. I do own a couple consoles, but I've never used the browsers on them. All the normies I know who don't have gaming computers have phones, and most of them have laptops.

Maybe it's a culture thing? I'm in the US, maybe in some other developed nations it's more common to not have a phone.

I mean sure, all other factors being equal, more features means a better product, at least in theory. I just don't know why literally anyone cares about this particular feature. I don't even own a Switch, I'm just genuinely curious.

Lol yes gotta love all 2 exclusives it has. It should double by the end of the year. The switch is an overrated pile of shit and Nintendo should be ashamed of themselves.

Browser exploits plagued the Wii, Wii U and 3DS.

Damn. What else do you not use? Might as well get rid of any of those features too. No need to waste time on them if user here doesn't need em

Only time I've used the browser on my wii u and 3ds was to hack it. Why would anyone want to use that slow piece of shit for anything else?

A browser would just be a way to cause security issues for a feature nobody sane would use. I suppose all devices are expected to have one these days, but who the fuck uses their console for browsing?

Who cares, you obviously have internet right now.

Thanks for reminding me my other consoles have it.
I've never once used it on them. Only exception was on the Wii, just to see how it went.

4 great exclusives in the first 3 quarters? Seems pretty great to me. What did the ps4 have the first year?

They're not competing with iPad. In fact, Nintendo expects Switch users to own smart devices. They realized that they couldn't compete with tablets directly with how the Wii U failed.

modern consoles have browsers?

It's a basic feature because every other console has it. Even the 3DS. Fuck even the 3DS has a built in mic something the switch also lacks. Also has no media apps but it's okay because I have to pay for online

So you can't come up with an actual reason for me to care?

Guys this is a disaster. I only have 436 devices that have an internet browser, and I NEED a 437th, but since I bought a switch I don't have enough money for a $50 fire tablet. What the fuck am I supposed to do now? Fuck you nintendo.

the only use for internet browsers on consoles are CFW exploits.

Why does a gaming console need an internet browser? It's a system for gaming. Just because Sony and MS choose to add unnecessary bloat to their systems doesn't mean it's required.

>media apps

Oh no I'll have to use one of the other 6 devices plugged in to my tv for media apps I don't ever use

huh? xbox one had games initially..one of the best launch lines up ever

>$50 tablet better than switch

woah..

Web browsers on consoles only exist for kids to look at porn, but even kids have iphones now

>snipperclips
>arms
great exclusives indeed, rest is not even released yet

>browsers are better than VIDEOGAMES

sonyfans

The Wii didn't launch with a browser, you dumb fuck.

Voice chat would just be a way to cause issues for a feature nobody sane would use.
I suppose all devices are expected to have it these days, but who the fuck uses their console for voice chat?

Just buy a damn smartphone with a payment plan and then pay Nintendo again you fat fuck, so you can voice chat on the Swotch.

That doesn't make any kind of sense.

Game exploits plagued the Wii, Wii U and 3DS.
So remove the games now.

Yeah fuck all those features. I love using my phone for game chat. Why would I want a built in mic on a portable console that's just fucking dumb

for Nintendo it obviously does.

He's being sarcastic

>I'm dumb for not remembering the release date of an app I almost never used on a console that launched over 10 years ago
You people will look for any reason to insult someone. Whether or not the Wii launched with a browser doesn't change my point.

Wow sir what a hot take.

These two things are definitely comparable.

Japanese companies are fucking retarded.

Does anyone remember nintendo releasing a fucking internet browser, on a cartridge, and selling it for $50? What the fuck?

tablet games > snipperclips

>Weather or not the Wii launched with a browser doesn't change my point.
Actually, it does. Your point was about consoles launching with or without a browser. Don't try to deflect being wrong. Maybe next time you make a claim you'll check to see if it's actually true.

Well they remove basically everything that is used to hack their consoles.

- Ability to copy / backup your saved games
- Internet browser

So the only thing left are the games themselves. They should remove those too, so their console won't be hacked anymore.

Hopefully they will remove the USB connector on the Super NES mini.

Instead of fixing their security issues, this is totally the way better approach.

>pay2notwait garbage grinders
>better than the co-op game of the generation

Funny that you should mention that since I was considering going nintendo to avoid the usual trash games we are being fed and get actual fun games with a challenge.

The eshop frontend already provides an entrypoint for exploits which makes that justification for a lack of a browser moot.
Also the PS4, Xbone and Vita have internet browsers and manage to do just fine with them.

>Nintendo is fucking retarded
>user would have given away cartridges with a browser plus a RAM expansion for free
>Nintendo is fucking retarded

ey, I think Nintendo is not the one that is retarded.

the vita exploit is literally just a website you go to in the browser

also

>vita
>doing fine

if only there was some other option of getting a web browser on a device than can connect to the internet...hmm....can you think of one?

Vita had an internet browser since launch and for literally half a decade didn't have issues with piracy.

Of course the Vita isn't fine but that has nothing to do with piracy.

That logic doesn't just apply to every feature the Switch lacks. Lack of proper voice chat on the console itself IS fucking dumb and you're not gonna see anyone but the most hardcore Nintenbro defend that since it's actually something that affects gameplay. Netflix doesn't. The only good points anyone has made about the lack of a browser is needing to access a portal for some wifi hotspots, but that seems like a minor enough issue that it's probably just shitposting fuel for console war faggots like yourself. I mean, that's basically just college kids that are too dumb to rent their own place and people who claim to play online in public places, and nobody actually plays online multiplayer in public.

No, my point was literally just about how I don't care about console browsers. How about YOU stop twisting my words to fit your argument. I only mentioned the Wii launching with a browser because I thought it did, not because it was crucial to my argument.

yes, user.
Creating software is free, so everyone should give everything away for free
Carts are free too

Who the fuck would have ever tried to sell a web browser.

>Navigator Gold includes Navigator 2.0, and Netscape officials expect it to cost $79.
wait...

Hmm, if there was a way to download RAM on your device...

Not on Nintendo DS you fucking retard
And DS also needs the RAM expansion, faggot
On 3DS the web browser is part of the initial purchase

>and you're not gonna see anyone but the most hardcore Nintenbro defend that

a lot of you have been defending it. in fact i've yet to see a thread thats it's been brought up where someone hasn't tried to defend it.

>The only good points anyone has made about the lack of a browser is needing to access a portal for some wifi hotspots, but that seems like a minor enough issue that it's probably just shitposting fuel for console war faggots like yourself. I mean, that's basically just college kids that are too dumb to rent their own place and people who claim to play online in public places, and nobody actually plays online multiplayer in public.

what the fuck even is this shit. like you're literally saying the inability to connect online on wifi spots that require a browser log in is just a minor issue.

be honest, when was the last time you used the browsers on consoles

No Nintendo console until the end of time will get a game as good as bloodborne

We've reached the point where Sup Forums defends charging money for an internet browser

That article is from literally over 20 years ago.

I personally used the web browser of the Wii U way more than I used voice chat.
>play game
>click
>now I can look up a walkthrough
>click
>back in the game

Who else has such a feature? Oh right, Steam does with their retarded steam Overlay, that works like shite. Nintendo's approach was the best one, because it simply worked fine.

Truth fact: on PS3 I used voice chat literally 1 time.

They didn't want to take the chance of Homebrew and cfw happening anytime soon. Which fucking blows because it's basically the perfect emulation machine.

Why not use your smartphone for something like that? I always thought in-console browsers were clunky and useless.

And the DS was released over 10 years ago.
Your point?

who the fuck uses a browser on a game console?

>like you're literally saying the inability to connect online on wifi spots that require a browser log in is just a minor issue
I am. I was pretty straightforward about saying that. If there's some massive demographic of people that this affects and I'm just not realizing it, I'll admit I'm wrong, but I genuinely think 99% of the people that are actually interested in owning a Switch are going to play it exclusively connected to their home wifi if they go online at all.

From a business sense, yeah, it's pretty retarded to block people from using browser logins like that since they're advertising the portability of it so heavily, I just don't see it affecting that many people realistically.

Looks like you guys got trolled ;)

You can use keyboards and mice on the PS4.

Also, I use console browsers for streaming anime and other things. Much more comfy than sitting at a PC or downloading.

>use 1 device for everything
>nah, better use 2 or 3 or 4 devices
>not because it's better, but because [gotta defend Nintendo]

You're using a two decade old article from 1995 to defend selling an INTERNET BROWSER for a handheld released nearly 10 years later.

I have never used a browser on a console, so why should I care?

>I genuinely think 99% of the people that are actually interested in owning a Switch are going to play it exclusively connected to their home wifi

it's a portable console.

were you just born stupid or did your parents make you this way?

I do. Nigger.
And yes, you are probably used to the horrible piece of shite "browser" on Playstation, that likes to crash a lot and most sites do not work anyway. I didn't use that piece of shite either.
On Wii U the browser works properly and is fast.

>streaming anime

Sad.
