@KyleOfLordran The problem was always on Nintendo's end, not ours. The online experience is still going to be terrible unfortunately.

@JiriyaKlaar @dehrenikx @NintendoAmerica And a pro wouldn’t fix any of this It would only make it worse

@HeroOfTime125 This is a side problem imo. I would still like to know I could potentially by a switch that will run games without stutter. The shortage is a separate problem outside of Nintendo's hands.

@RisingBlur @dehrenikx @NintendoAmerica That is only true to existing customers, for someone like me who didn't buy it in the 1st place due to the technical issues - an upgrade would have convinced me to buy - a new OLED screen however doesn't.

@AnxNeckGames @johnblueriggs And fix the joy con drift and add back pointer controls on top of the gyro controls to improve the motion controls. Nintendo use to be an innovator and to me it seems like they lost their way and it saddens me. When sony which I have issues with is putting in more effort 1/2

oh, so the Switch is getting a new model with an OLED screen, a stand that doesn’t suck, and an actual LAN port, so there’s no more excuses for Smash players to play online on WiFi. now Nintendo needs to fix their crappy netcode.

@Fourah_ Nintendo can call me when they fix their drift and until then I won’t care about them making a Slightly Bigger Switch

I know Nintendo is trying to avoid the issues of "Pro" models but unless you're a hardcore handheld user this upgrade is ehh. That being said, yes I want one. Now do I sell my hackable Day 1 Switch or keep it for back-up. 🤔

@Chrislp427 Here's the thing though: I seem to be more aware than most that the issue with that isn't with Nintendo, who designed the Switch to do one thing and do it well: the console/portable hybrid thing. Which of course is going to give it weaker hardware due to the smaller form factor.

@piss_money @CaptainGlack @NintendoAmerica Most games on switch don’t lag crazy. First party games on the system are fine

@NintendoAmerica No DLSS no buy. The problem wasn't with the quality of the portable screen @NintendoAmerica, it was that so many 3rd party games looked like mud on it because the hardware couldn't push enough pixels to reach the native resolution. So now it's just more colorful mud? No thanks.

@WallE132 @CoffeeSnakeGame @sailorsctaustin I will point out that the newer generation Joy-Cons HAVE fixed the drift issue, so reallys it's mostly the lack of improved specs that's upsetting people, which I get, but like... Does it matter? Nintendo has made gorgeous stuff with less power since the dang GameCube.

Oh look nintendo revealed a new switch model, that's almost completely the same as the old one, but this one has a slightly bigger screen. Why work on something so called new nintendo, when you can work on fixing your biggest problem, Joy con drift! For ***** sakes fix it!

(@rhrcampbell) reported
@its_menieb @NintendoAmerica Honestly I wasn't in a hurry for a revision but 5 years in and it's as powerful as my OG switch is kinda dissapointing given that first party titles suffer lag like Hyrule Warriors and animal crossing. Was hoping for better hardware.

@UnearthIyChiId That’s some bootleg *** **** then. Idk who they think they’re distracting because there was nothing wrong with the og screen. It’s wild because switch users been screaming about issues since the release. You’d think Nintendo would listen

The switch has two big problems The controllers are time bombs and games run like **** Nintendo: "this one has a bigger screen"

@DestinyIsMyGame @G27Status @jbles123 Are you talking from the perspective of Nintendo? Who cares if it’s selling well? It’s an issue because people want to play games at higher resolution and/or better FPS.

@boersc @NeonIain @GamesByKinmoku I doubt that's why Nintendo doesn't implement it :p Must be a licensing issue, a technical one (conflict with joy cons?) or just spending more time to implementing it, or they want to sell their own peripherals for it...

@Hisui_Cotton @Strippin That would highlight that the controllers had a problem in the first place. Nintendo wouldn't do that.

Getting heat rn about my switch leaks. My lawyer has informed me to inform you that we are just as puzzled. Nintendo is ultimately party accountable for our hype. Yes, I did say things. Yes. The things I said did not happen. But this is their problem. Not mine. Buy my merch.

@KrazyBonesTV connection issues always bugged me, but i usually don’t play online games anyway- just JRPGs and some party games along with nintendo’s single player lineup, but i still feel a bit sad that we got nothing in regards to the menu in the 4 years since launch

@BeatemupsWood It's not bad, especially for people who don't have a Switch or who need to replace a broken one. But it's not enough to get me to upgrade what I have, which I feel like might be a slight misstep on Nintendo's part.

@NintendoAmerica Did you fix the joy-con drift tho?
