    @SW1TCHBLXDE ok so you would need an update and internet to update so you would not be able to with a fresh system or a system you had to restore and a fresh cart. this would be an issue if/when nintendo offlines the servers/shop. both are pretty common scenarios

    If you take a moment to watch the video, they explain the issues with the Switch 2. I said I wouldn't recommend based on an informed decision from professionals that analyzed the device for repairability and showing underlying issues such as the drifting issue which Nintendo is aware of themselves. That's all.

    @uniformcritic They're designed to stand out. They sure do. Look at the TD one in Toronto or the Nintendo one in Seattle. No amount of complaining will fix it. They're awful and they're here to stay.

    I've learned a little bit more about the Switch 2 and would like to change my stance. I will still not be buying a Switch 2, but for different reasons. Now that I'm more informed, I have less issues with the EULA, but I still have problems with prices and Nintendo transparency.

    @Cars2BluRay Thankfully it seems Nintendo’s moving away from peer to peer connections these days. The games with those kinds of connections are the ones that have issues on tmobile internet. Mario kart world works just fine i hear. As will most. The fromsoft games im nervous about tho.

    @AnAverageGamerX I don’t think he’s a Nintendo glazer like so many people act like he is but I kinda wish he would leave the haters alone, I think that’s his issue. He’s brining a lot of attention to a controversial topic. But I do hope those numbers check out so he isn’t hammered anymore.

    My opinion on the Switch 2 has changed... slightly. The EULA problems have been clarified and we now have a better understanding of what we are agreeing on. I still don't like the notion that you can't sue Nintendo for anti-consumer practices, but you do, in fact, own the system.

    @seafairyservant @CaseyPhotoz @soniccobra951 WAIT EVERYONE I HAVE FOUND A FIX If u own switch 2 ver of deltarune u get the switch 1 version free!!!! Enter the download code that target provided to Nintendo website to get switch 2 version anyway. Then go to Nintendo’s page for deltarune (switch 1) it should say free download

    @Nintendo It’s literally the same console u guys had already but faster loading lol heard the nunchucks still have the same issue, this isn’t a switch 2 they just slightly modified the old switches they didn’t sell and resold them to you for $500 more bucks ): and now ur games are more exp

    @KahunaCilver520 Same people that call Nintendo the devil of the industry too, like yeah they have their problems, like being lawsuit heavy and such. But at least I know the money for that $80 game isn't lining the pockets of the CEO. They're actively hiring people, not firing lol.

    Nintendo Switch is just a glorified nostalgia machine struggling with latency issues. Perfect for basement parties, terrible for serious FPS action. Prove me wrong. 🎮🔥 #HotTake #SwitchLag #RealTalk

    @NintendoAmerica Can we fix mario kart? Bugged wall jumps, 0 progression progress, no multi-player free roam. The game feels unfinished. Which is wild considering how long you said it's been finished.

    @PopPizzaMan @Paige40329935 @ShitpostRock I don't think that all Nintendo dose is good, but many are, they saved companies and they are one of the last company that delayed done games just to bug fix. Not everything is good, but we'll at least Nintendo is hiring instead of closing studios.

    @LucarioSplat2 I have the same issue. Not just Ninjala, but other games too on Nintendo Switch 2.

  • CloudyBRM
    Cloudy (@CloudyBRM) reported

    @charlieINTEL @ethangach That’s the issue facing Microsoft is the cost issue for handhelds with x86 cpus, that at lower power burgers are not as efficient as ARM. To put console games on arm, the whole code needs to be compiled for arm from x86. Nintendo has been the biggest pioneer of ARM gaming.

    @ABitofEpicness @NintendoAmerica It's probably an issue with the compatibility layer like the squid roll glitch in Splatoon 3, there are always issues like this with this kind of backward compat systems I'm pretty sure they'll patch it soon

    $80 will work on Nintendo fans and 1st party Nintendo games, but the rest of the industry is going to find out. Fast track to AAA game market crash, esp if they keep virtue signaling in games, offering stale content, and lots of bugs.

  • WarlockSoL
    Kris Smith (@WarlockSoL) reported

    @TheHylian64 I really do hope they fix this with an update. I'm not optimistic because it's Nintendo, but hey, we finally got a favorites feature on Echoes of Wisdom after they pushed back against all the menu complaints for so long. So I guess it's not impossible :3

  • Kitastrophe_Ra

    Nintendo claims the Switch 2 Joy-Cons are built from the ground up—but stick drift is still a problem. They literally copied the internal design. Clearly, the only lesson they took from past consoles is that people will keep paying to replace broken controllers. #Gaming #Switch2 #NintendoSwitch2

    @ev1dentLEE @Murillos14 @kirawontmiss Yeah? thats what i said? are you reading what i said? The problem is support console price hikes, game price hikes and further pushing the “you don’t own what you buy” narrative more by nintendo having full control to brick your switch anytime they want. shouldnt support that :/

    @ActualAero You are assuming GF is the issue here… Nintendo is the one not letting them finish the game to match the release schedule so they can sell merch

    It's funny how life works. Nintendo saved gaming back in 85 after the 83 gaming crash. Now, nintendo may be the reason it crashes again. Crazy!

    @Nintendo @NintendoAmerica the switch 2 is cool and all, but PLEASE fix the gamecube adapter disconnection problem please!! My controller disconnects after an hour-ish of gameplay

  • StaticManiaArt

    @dgxchvz @yggdrasilsaltar ...how can Mario steal from Crash if Crash isn't the first series to do a thing? Good job trying to skirt you original point --- Mini-turbos come from the original Mario Kart. Diddy Kong Racing is from a sub-series Mario. F-Zero (a Nintendo game) did anti-grav before Crash.

    @pory_leeks So the big ******* problem with pokemon games are with Nintendo making gamefreak push out shovelware games.

    @NierHellFire It is also important to point out. I'm talking about genuine good remakes. P3R, Resident Evil series, Crash Bandicoot etc Not ****** remasters Nintendo likes to produce. Unfortunately some companies really use the idea of remakes as a tool to get into players pockets
