@SackboyFX I wouldn't buy this, even if i had 0 problems with nintendo, but because i do, its a capital NO

It's bizarre to me that gamers will turn a blind eye to Sony potentially locking off access to all digital-only content on their older hardware, yet they ***** about Nintendo pulling digital games after a specific date. It's the same issue. Preservation is important.

Real talk: controller “drift” is a serious problem resulting from the game companies cutting corners. Nintendo, Sony, Microsoft should readily, easily, instantly and with no questions asked replace any controller afflicted with drift.

All the hype about a Switch Pro and our regular Switch sits untouched by both kids and adults because all four JoyCons have massive drift issues, one after it's been repaired already. Get me some JoyCon Pros and we'll talk @NintendoAmerica

The only way I will buy a switch pro is if it can run korok forest in 60 fps, fix nintendo online, and make me a sandwich.

nintendo, you support animal crossing as a game as a service, you should 1000% do this with breath of the wild

@DeoScott @joellogic90pt @IGN Like my previous comment, if the screen is different then it wouldn't be a problem. For example oled. If Nintendo wants to wow us something has to change. If they can't do 4k then that's fine though disappointing as 720 does bother me

@ActionCoaster Than what Nintendo coulda attempted. Clyde Mandelin/Tomato is a pro in every sense. And it is shown as quickly as him using the original Mother 2/EarthBound English font for the patch, plus actually getting peeps to fix bugs from the original

@NintendoUK @NianticLabs Looks great. Howver, why is your support service charging to repair a Switch power adapter that's less than a year old? We have sent emails, but are getting no replies.

@Oceaniz96 Honestly, until Nintendo show it off, I’m not going to get too excited. I kind of hope it’s like the New 3DS where performance got better even on old titles but like you said, those titles were optimized for a different chip set so that might not happen or they could have issues

@Ray_Scullz @Fobwashed @Nibellion Same here, With DLSS its possible. What I'd like Nintendo to do is make a separately sold custom Dock with a more powerful SoC inside to push things to higher resolutions so that power consumption doesn't become a problem for the handheld SoC.

@JayBari_ Xbox is a joke online. Terrible servers I've never had this much trouble with. Nintendo even has more stable connection.

@ollaxe @Dippahh_ @engadgetgaming Nintendo should get their quality control under check though. Never had this problem growing up: Not with the GameCube or Wii. But with the switch, even their official controllers break in less than a month.

@ipepsi_co @alekisaaa @engadgetgaming The thing has the exact same drifting problems as the nintendo controller. Sony is also getting sued for pretty much the same thing. That joystick is only rated for I believe 500 hours. The funny part is that it's the exact same one as in the Switch.

@devilninja777 @cifilter @Mrsamericanhodl That's what I always heard (well, read), but unfortunately I never had a Super Nintendo. I got the SNES Mini few years ago which has EarthBound on it, I started playing it but it didn't grab my attention for long (I have this problem with almost everything in recent years)

@TitanfallBlog What's funny is ea was blaming sony, Microsoft and nintendo and saying it was their servers causing the issues last week. Funny how they turned it around.

@Hylianhero777 DLSS still sounds too advanced for Nintendo so I hope they're not wrong since a lot of people will be disappointed even if nintendo didn't say anything about it. Was just hoping for them to fix the bottleneck to get Switch up to 1080p for botw, still mostly what I'm expecting

@Kotaku so what do people who have the original switch do? No way to upgrade or anything? we'll need to shell out AGAIN for upgrades? It wouldnt be much of a bother if Nintendo had a price decrease at some point... But they dont.. They should fix there joycons first.. but no, money money

Have 4 ps4 controllers. They ALL have drift issues (drift is strongest in recent controllers). Never before have I had this problem in all the console controllers I ever had. Except Nintendo Switch where the drift started even earlier than PS4. #theydontmakethemliketheyusedto

So, with the Switch Pro coming out, does @NintendoAmerica have any plans on addressing the issues with joycon drift? Or are they still of the opinion that "it's not a thing, and if it was it's your fault"?

@TexasLegend1990 @AmusingLuis Nintendo Network was the name of their online service for the 3DS and Wii U, two discontinued pieces of hardware. It’s successor is Nintendo Online.

So is it like, international bad video game service decision day? Discord, xbox, sony, what new stupid and/or obsolete thing will nintendo find that they haven't already done? I'm guessing... Brick thousands of switches with some kind of update that wasn't properly tested

@32DaCrow @K4waiiB3N @NintendoAmerica yes they fix them for free, but thry should fix the issue without consumers needing to constantly send their joy cons in for repair, so they can use their switch more. nintendo acknowledged that it was a manufacturing error, and they need to fix it.

@Kotaku Nintendo try copy playstation and Xbox .. when they release normal console . They make it pro one. the company knew you will gain a lot money 💰 they will never fix what people wants to fix .

@stevesaylor Yeah, Mixer was a streaming service, which Xbox is only tangentially connected to. Discord is how many gamers on PC, Xbox, PlayStation and Nintendo prefer to communicate over the hardware's chat, so this is a huge get for them.

@supersophz @Andrxw452 @Arcanam8 Ye I feel like forced cross play should be turned off or have a feature where we can choose to go up against certain consoles ie Xbox/PS SeriesX/S/PS5/PC Nintendo switch/Mobile..... issue resolved
