Throughout history many consoles of the Nintendo company have been victims of hackers looking for ways to run unofficial software on their systems, this began with the appearance of the Nintendo DS and the Game Cube, since then it has been come dragging that unstoppable karma releasing or exploiting the great potential of each of its consoles, the Nintendo Switch is the most recent of its creations, in less than 1 year of its release and have leaked a lot of photos, videos and captures of screen running different Homebrew in the console, although at the moment these are very limited, in case the most recognized is the one that allows to run Linux in a completely stable way.
In case any person is not familiar with the term "Homebrew" is simply a software created by anyone from home that can be used unofficially in a console, the best example that we can bring is a program that was installed in the WII to be able to run these programs called "The Homebrew Channel", from this idea is what they want to pose for the Nintendo Switch, however many people think that they will simply use this to run illegal copies on the console, but I think everything otherwise.
Nintendo Switch was the console that could resuscitate Nintendo from the bad sales of WiiU, its innovation attracted the attention of many gamers for what has been a resounding success in sales, however it lacks something very important, applications and programs of daily use, it seems absurd but if you buy a console of 300 dollars, minimum must be on par with current systems (with respect to its functionality), be able to listen to music, watch movies, surf the Internet without the need for cumbersome steps , among many other things, if you compare to the consoles of the competition this can be done without any problem, the users of the switch ask many functionalities to Nintendo but they only want this to be a unique center of video games.
This is where the importance of Homebrew is, if the users themselves can satisfy their needs. Why not create a program? One of the things they most want in the Switch is that it has retrocompatibility, although Nintendo will take out a paid service for this. clearly note that it is not even close to what the Nintendo Wii was, images of a user running The Legend of Zelda: The Wind Waker of GameCube have already been run through an emulator in an optimal way, so this console has the great power to execute a host of applications which will surprise your users.
Another big flaw that has this console that even Nintendo does not care about this is the ability to store your games saved in the cloud, having the ability to access them in a switch console, this was done in the previous generation, including the 3DS had the option to save your games in an SD memory, it would be great if you yourself with a bit of knowledge in programming could do this task so that many people feel excellent with their video console, I consider that it is already on the part of Nintendo can serve these 13 million users optimally.
Personally I consider that the Nintendo Switch is a diamond in the rough, it is necessary to polish it so that it can shine among many, it has the capacity in hardware to be able to execute a great variety of softwares that would simply boost sales to double in the future, although knowing Nintendo simply will not do anything of what its users say, it is no longer about playing pirate games, it is about having a multimedia center capable of executing or satisfying some need of its carrier, personally I would like to see a lot of emulators , will run excellent on this console, I want to play PSX on it
See You!!!
