@Kotaku But have they fixed the joycon problem? Because if we're doing a "high end" Switch with the same busted joycons as the other Switch models, then Nintendo can **** right off.

Speaking as a fanboy who usually buys more than one iteration of a Nintendo handheld, I still use my original Switch and have no plans to buy another until the issue is fixed. Especially not if the controllers are integrated as they are with the Lite.

@ImpforlifeSSBU @BradmanTendo Exactly, joycon drift is really stupid as well, I get it so often and it's a real problem that has to be taken care of, I've had to replace my joycons a few times already and it's very annoying doing so, the servers, joycon drift, Nintendo needs to fix this and hopefully soon🙏

The first question we should all be asking about the Switch Pro is - has Nintendo fixed the joycons? Or is this going to be a third system with the same rampant hardware problems as the Switch and the Switch Lite?

"My uncle who works at Nintendo says there's going to be a Switch Pro, and it's going to-" "Okay, I believe you." "I didn't even finish my sente-." "Hey, everyone, there is going to be a Switch Pro, and it will render in 8K, fix Joy-Con Drift, and offer free backrubs!"

@CloudMain_2 @OnTheDownLoTho @Diego9VII Nintendo has shown they are willing to put out a product even if that breaks compatibility with some games. There's some games that are practically unplayable on a Switch Lite like Ring Fit or Labo. Or online multiplayer not working if you play handheld outside

@MAGNEDETH Also, for some reason the wired controller stopped working with one of my Switch docks, and Nintendo says it's an issue with the controller. Honestly, since buying the Pro Controller I haven't really used the wired one.

@heyitsredwan @Psebcool @verge There are $300 phones with 1080p OLED panels. Battery life shouldn't even be an issue in 2021. It's Nintendo being ********.

@Rafael71Abdiel @_GLizTan_ @Sora_Sakurai crash is owned by Activision and the fact Nintendo is not acknowledging any Activision games themselves and they didn't include crash 4 in the direct proves Nintendo wants to distance themselves from Activision as much as possible

@zelmes1 @JusticeForGame1 @NintendoUK You do know that drift is caused by a mechanical failure in the stick, right? Sure you can temp fix by blowing the "dust" out, but that "dust" is shavings from the contact plate inside the stick. If the contact plate wears down enough or in the right way, no dusting will fix it.

My only hope is that they fix the Joy-Con drift. Nintendo's lack of a response to the issue is frankly unacceptable and this is their opportunity to fix it.

@_GLizTan_ @Sora_Sakurai Activision doesn't deserve any representation in smash bros ever, Nintendo refuses to acknowledge Activision|Blizzard anymore, Nintendo didn't even announce crash 4 coming to switch, it was a Nintendo affiliate Twitter account that announced it, it wasn't even in the direct

@gibbogame Nintendo already had problems keeping up with regular Switch demand and production. I doubt they add the Pro as a 3rd SKU. Should replace it so the only Switch's in production are the Pro ($299) and Lite ($199) Current Switch goes on clearance for $249 looks right for Year 4.

@Maroof_64 Knowing Nintendo if they touch this move I'm scared they will just make the grounded hitbox smaller to fix this instead of making it actually connect

@mrcraggle @Skinney @Wario64 PC is an more open platform so it wont have the same deals that companies like Nintendo, Sony, MS has. It would not be any issues for Nintendo to put it into first party games.
