@Jules3324 @NintendoAmerica That's not our problem that you live in a third world country run by a maniac. If you cant afford it, too bad. The switch needs a performance upgrade more than Venezuela needs to get out of hyperinflation..

I'm not mad about switch OLED or anything I think I'm the only person alive who doesn't notice the switch's graphical/frame rate issues But it kinda makes no sense to make on Nintendo's end. What's the point of making this system lol. Hopefully there's new joycons that work

@NintendoAmerica And fix your prexisting console issues before you go and design new tech, do you think that’s how you retain customers? No. Nintendo’s number one priority used to be customer service now it’s just screwing over the consumer.

@chonkwig I've seen a few explanations all over the place but the two most likely is 1) Nintendo never really cares about specs in the first place and is just releasing a new gen with tweaks over common issues (storage, screen size, the kickstand, Ethernet) 2) the chip shortage

@JimSterling Nintendo is best when you have no expectations. You take what you like that they offer and ignore what you don't. This new Switch? If people want it, great, but until they fix the joy-con drift, I don't care how pretty the handheld mode is. I'll stick with my current model.

@NintendoAmerica Damn now improvements besides the display. Looks like joycon drift still bout to be an issue.

Hey, guys! In case you didn't know, @NintendoAmerica has a fix for the Joycon Drift! Sending one of my joycons in for repair and was able to successfully recalibrate 3 others.

Y'all...I've has my Nintendo Switch Lite and I still don't understand the "drift" issue. Is it just a Nintendo Switch thing?

I still expect a hardware revision to be announced. Too much evidence for it (not just leaks), and all the problems I mentioned led to 3rd parties pulling out back on the Wii U. The switch is a huge hit, and Nintendo will not want to mess that up.

And no, I'm not interested in the new OLED model or giving Nintendo any favoritism. I'm just being real about it. Fix your JoyCons, Nintendo.

nintendo really said "here's a better quality screen". that shoulda been on the original switch? there are so many issues with the switch but they really went for the screen. damn homie

The OLED Switch is fine and all, but why couldn't you just update the controllers to be more like the Switch Lite???? @NintendoAmerica @Nintendo you still have time to change them and get rid of all the Joycon issues!!

@RisingBlur @Innthacut @NintendoAmerica the problem is not that people were expecting a switch pro, the problem is that creating a switch pro right now would be REALLY helpful with how poorly the console runs at the moment, yet Nintendo decided to make this version with a better screen nobody asked for.

@SecretBlue02 @NintendoAmerica Mine broken within 2 months when I got the switch (2019 revision) and the only thing I use then for was for Mario maker 2. Does not work well with others games so I used the pro-controller. My Wii remote from 2011 still works perfectly than those trash joycons

@colinies It's nice for anyone who hasnt bought a Nintendo Switch yet. But it's not worth it for me. I hardly play in handheld mode or undocked and when I do I don't think the current screen is a problem. Hating on it is weird, praising it is expected. I'm indifferent.

Nintendo will literally do everything except address the drift problem despite multiple class action lawsuits that were filed against them

Well, I was right. New Switch model is bullshit. Per Nintendo, "We've now added an OLED screen. This way children will get screen burn-in quicker. Even with a warranty, this issue won't be covered and they'll have to buy another Switch....Maniacal laugh...#switchpro #tuesdayvibe

@LegacyDeluxe @Plun_Yu @NintendoAmerica People wanted better performance more than anything else. People wanted upgraded hardware that can seamlessly play first party games with no frame issues. That's pretty much it.

@acute_aura @JimSterling Yeah that's the problem. Personally I'm happy its not more powerful because it would've forced me to update later on down the line when it inevitably get exploited. I like my Nintendo Switch and I don't play in handheld mode often so I can just pass up on the new version.

@zfreakingb @MAPO78 @shinobi602 This is my problem with Nintendo fans. You all gobble up Nintendos constantly bare minimum efforts. The switch is severely lacking in hardware. That is a fact. It's also lacking in features, functionality, online infrastructure, and UX. And that's their competition, so it matters

@MysticRyan BUT THEY HATE INDIES!? Im not saying anything that developer said isnt true. But Nintendo and Xbox dont **** indies any better and also charge. I went on switch and Xbox the day i read that - saw ZERO indie games highlighted. Not setting own sale prices is bad - @Sony fix that!
