@MacFan2410 @nintendolife The problem is; every other console manufacturer has a 4K device, and has done literally for years. Everyone assumed Nintendo would be getting with the times, it's only natural to be disappointed when they don't.

@Zikimura @BlackSa87753364 3. The only true problem. Which can be fixed by sending the joy cons to Nintendo for free. Did it once and never had the problem again. They really should focus on it fully tho.

@THEREALRTU The PS VITA was nice but mine had some weird flickering issue since day one which was irksome. Many PS VITA titles weren’t up to par with Nintendo DS titles featuring online. Nintendo had Jump Ultimate Stars playable on Nintendo DS and 3DS devices and it was just superior.

@The80HDkid So at what point does "this game hurts my eyes, I wish it didnt" become Toxic? Aaand it's NOT Nintendo's fault for not only not offering a fix themselves but going out of their way (and often failing because they have no legal standing) to shut down any fix others might develop?

@JoeMerrick The only argument i have agaisnt this 4k issue is, my phone runs up to 8k, the switch could too, but it wouldn't make sense to do so. They dont do 4k games, they do what nintendo does. And its still amazing

@MoistCr1TiKaL Wrong there. Dang it. But anyway, i think that the switch is okay as it is, but I hope a new model could make it more powerful. And Nintendo said recently that they’re going to fix their online, so maybe we can have dedicated servers now? Please? And maybe lift the piracy stuff?

@SupTheGamer @Nintendeal Good thing it’s just an error. Would be really weird that Nintendo would publish a game that requires a download. They haven’t before, so it’d be bad to start now.

@jerry_d93 @nxtgen8k But you were talking about the consoles and how dog crap it was but again the issue was expectation of people who don’t seem to know how Nintendo work. If we want to talk about what Nintendo fan and consumers want and get from Nintendo yeah ask more. The new Switch is not 1 the!

@Romudeth My take is, if PlayStation and Nintendo offered a similar service I would pay for it. I don’t care for game ownership that much, though I do still buy games digitally. I definitely play more games now than before Game Pass and I try games I wouldn’t have before. The service works

@Ceresbane @NintendoAmerica Are you using the V1 switch? Because my router is all the way at the other end of the house from my room and I play MHR just fine with no lag or dc.

@ProArtist15 @Nintendo @NintedoAmerlca Only problem with that strategy is it means abandoning handheld entirely, which they won't do as that's what's given them the niche to sell tons of consoles. Push for a realistic ask or you'll just be ignored as not their target customer.

@AEGRO_84 I'm a Nintendo fan, been once since the 90s. Wii was meh, didn't like the controls. Wii U was the same issue, focus too much on controls, not games. The switch looks cool but I don't need a portable system I just want to play Nintendo games...

@HunterGrack @HandheldGaming1 The problem is so many created their own "new" switch out of that one rumor and hyped up something that never existed to the point that when reality hit them hard they lashed out blaming Nintendo for "lying" If this rumor never happened it would have gotten less negatively.....

@LonelyGoomba @Boogie2988 The big issue is - aside from hyping themselves up over rumors that do have some truth, because Nintendo starts working on successors the moment their current console launches - is that even then, people have zero idea how leaks and rumors work.

@kellansBro @Vader7575 @mariokarttourEN He's not even sending message to his 1st place driver lah, not even shoving. He's just complaining to Nintendo on how broken matchmaking it is. It's entirely different compared to say "You can get 80k easily. I can acheive that" directly to that person's face.

@Zikimura @BlackSa87753364 1. Problems I don’t legitimately see 2. And most peeps are abandoning Sony due to sony’s hatred against their own fan base 3. Number wise it’s unlikely. If you somehow do it’s a free fix. Again Nintendo should find a permanent solution

I know people are kinda disappointed in this new #NintendoSwitchOLED model. But the fact is, if they did release a newer and improved Switch they would be facing an even bigger problem in chip shortages. #Nintendo

Anyone have a fix for the Nintendo Switch Joy Con drifting? It’s gotten quite bad.

@LonelyGoomba Agreed because then they would need to rework it for the old model and it would be more trouble for Nintendo and it would be a bad experience for the consumers that own the old version

@DaviXander_ @NextGenPlayer Game pass is available on PC, Mobile devices and soon to be Smart TVs. In sure they'd love to sell consoles too, which they seem to ha e no problem doing. Who cares who is selling the most. Both Sony and Microsoft are doing just fine. Nintendo too.

@Crimson_Mayhem_ Yeah, I'd definitely like refunds. I still regret buying... A few games. Also, if they want the Nintendo Switch Online be worthy, they should fix the lags and add more games from older consoles. GB and GBA consoles are the most possible, while N64, GC, DS and Wii...

@Jaden_Nakahara @Dario8676 It's obviously not an 'upgrade' console like PS4 Pro. It's just a premium choice for people who don't have a Switch yet or are replacing a broken one... I hope. Nintendo _can't possibly_ be pushing this as a 'throw away the old one and buy this one' thing. Right?

@boikisser in 1997 Star skipped the N64 due to the hardware's terrible cartridge storage problem and entered the era of Star on the PlayStation. In 2021 both Star and Star fit on a teeny tiny cartridge and remastered for the Nintendo Switch.
