And I think you demonstrated the problem right there. "..the few times I did.."

While it was a great idea, it was always very clunky to get into, and interrupted gameplay by many minutes. The beauty of the Switch implementation of screenshots is that you press a button and you have the screenshot saved. Boom.

I feel Miiverse was great because of the delay due to the fact that you're still in the gaming moment when posting. There's no posting after the fact, far as I know. Your brain is still in the game, and you're expressing what you felt at the very moment.

While that's cool, it also could break you out of the game. And if you wanted a simple screenshot, you can't just save the screenshot and call it a day.

Were it faster to get to, I believe it could have been better. While I imagine the Switch would have sped it up, unfortunately, it seems Nintendo may not believe it has staying power in their new vision.

I lament the loss and at the same time welcome Nintendo's decision.
