@Track13Untitled Tbf I don’t take issue with MKW having less content than 8dx… If it weren’t more than $60. The expectation that “content = value” is dumb, but that also seems to be Nintendo’s excuse for overcharging on the game, and it’s unfathomably stupid because yeah, there is less content.

Bro wtf Nintendo. Screw sending them in, I'll just replace them with 3rd party sticks like I did my old joycons. Never had an issue after that.

See, you're probably sitting there looking at this thinking "what? Nintendo clearly doesn't care because the number one issue with the first Switch is still here", but you don't know Nintendo's about to release Mario Galaxy 3 and nobody will ever speak about this again

@Dexerto Scalpers are likely more frustrated by the Nintendo Switch 2's ample stock than the GameStop incident. The damage was limited to one store, and GameStop is offering replacements, so few scalpers are probably affected. Posts on X suggest scalpers are struggling to resell due to widespread availability, not damaged units. While some might be upset if they got a damaged console, the broader issue is they can't profit in a market with plenty of stock.

@Dexerto They could’ve fixed the problem but why would they when you’ll just buy another controller. There’s gotta be some loophole in this Nintendo is a very anti consumer company

@Judgementwings The cost and the fact that usually buying pre launch consoles is a bad idea as you’d have to wait a year before they fix the performance bugs…also the whole not actually owning it or the games thing Nintendo is doing.

@AnthonyCarastro @GaijinGoombah @Judgementwings Nope, it was already valid on Switch. You're paying monthly for a service that didn't change at all from the service you got since the WiiU, since every Nintendo game multiplayer still functions via Peer to Peer instead of Servers, like most games since 2010.

@UniversalQuacks The issue is that what incentive is there for companies for SGF? With E3, it was expected of you to show off big stuff, and it could look bad on your company if you didn’t have a good show. For SGF, why would Nintendo, Sony, or Xbox care if Geoff has a good show?

Nintendo is offering free replacements on all Joy-Con 2 right now because if there's an issue out of the box it was probably defective in some way

@iFixit I see several people defending a Nintendo, especially someone who claims to have had their joycons for just 2 years, drift problem was only in the first models, I had to replace joycon's potentiometers in 2018, which I bought in 2017, and since then I have never had drift.

@Dexerto This is literally a gold mine for Nintendo why tf would they fix it. They make dirt cheap controllers and then they break and you buy more of them.

@NintendoAmerica Not really worth it Which is best? A full dlc with even more lore and story and items or an "upgrade" that takes dlc away to change it to only app service?

@ibs0012 @Dexerto Replacements wouldn't be necessary in the first place if they had fixed the stick drift issues since 2017. Nintendo doesn't deserve any praise whatsoever right now for free replacements.

Sonic Fans have a huge hypocrisy problem, they were dead set on ragging on MKW for being 80$ on top of the price for the Nintendo Switch 2 but when Sega releases a game that’s not even worth 60$ that costs 70$ they can’t just simply say both are bad but play straw-man.

I believe CrossWorlds being as expensive as it is will do nothing except harm the playerbase that SEGA desperately needs to grow especially if the game has live service elements in it. SEGA do not have that Nintendo motion where people will mindlessy buy their stuff.

Nintendo has a problem if people are encouraged to continue to choose the Switch version of physical games over....the Switch 2 case and code I guess?

@iFixit so, to be fair: it's likely the form factor WAS the problem. nintendo isn't the only company using this same stick tech, and joycons had the most drift issues by a CATASTROPHIC margin. the larger housing likely IS the best fix Nintendo could do given the other tech being used.

@Diblox_ @Switch2Stock @NintendoAmerica I dont understand how I never needed a new controller with my ps2/xbox360, but I’ve needed multiple ps5 and switch controllers. XSX is solid tho. I dont see how we devolved unless it was somewhat intentional. Maybe they didn’t plan for it, but they’re not encouraged to fix it.

Still hold the firm belief that Nintendo could (and does) screw over their fans but the minute SEGA does something similar with Sonic it's a ******* problem

@Antony312dibujo It's worrying for everyone because it's not a Nintendo problem anymore the tariffs ****** everyone, but at least the Sega and sonic experience are in the base game and all the licenses crossovers are optional

Why is it still a problem... it's been 10 years, why the hell is this a problem for ONLY NINTENDO. I don't see ppl asking Xbox or Playstation for this, hell I've been rocking a PS4 for the last 5 or so years and never had to replace my controller.

@UniversalQuacks @ShowcaseWishes One of the big issues is that if you’re a company like Nintendo or Microsoft, why would you pay so much money for E3 when that money is arguably better used elsewhere? Nintendo Directs proved that they don’t need E3 for big presentations. It stinks that E3 ended though.

@Sonicenthusiest Yeah $70 is too much, hope it’s $60 cause 70 is too much, plus with Nintendo pricing DK at $60 and then saying they are doing variable pricing for different games but yeah games are getting expensive and it’s a genuine issue

Nintendo stans swore up and down that switch 2 would get all the new games though and that it would be as powerful a ps5... im wondering what happened in such a short time, did nintendo just forget to issue dev kits? 🤔. I see why they think Mario and Donkey kong or the best thing since sliced bread, and don't get me wrong these are good games usually but lets be for real, theres no real competition on that platform you only have nintendo games really to look forward too outside of a few outlier's. If nintendo actually had some of these other games it would def, eat into their software share.
