@NintendoAmerica Heck no, this for me is not a big upgrade, and also it will have the same joycon drift problems. I’m keeping my old switch. ALSO PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE MAKE A SPLATOON 3 DIRECT SOON THIS YEAR SINCE I WORRIED ABOUT THE FIRST LOOK OF THE SPLAT BOW GAMEPLAY!!

@jquinones618 @NeoGameSpark If it does, then the buyers are either morons, people that legit dont know, or fanboys. With Nintendo sticking with handhelds, of course sales wont be a problem. They finally stopped competing with the others. That also means they can pull more bs & expect fanboys to still buy.

@xbcellen true but you know nintendo why would they fix an issue if people are gonna buy the **** anyways right

Framerate and resolution is not something Nintendo has ever gone for. Nintendo doesn't need to compete with Microsoft or Sony. People will continue to buy their products because a vast majority of consumers don't really understand performance issues.

@NintendoAmerica Issue with cloud versions on switch. Nintendo out of the 3 dominant console platforms are the least competent with handling any given online aspect. As it stands nintendo is playing catch up by a full decade.

@kaiyr3x I've heard that if you send it back to Nintendo they fix it for free but idk if that's true anymore

@Sdwerd @Nintendo @NintedoAmerlca Let me make myself clear I want them to improve their console system so that at least we don't have ***** about the switches issues, in other word bite the tongue, go forward with a good visual screen but improve it game performance so that not everything need to be dumbdown

@gNVjpMrfuN @NintendoAmerica Excuse me what? The controller has nothing to do with the tv. All you need is your joycons fixed. They offer that service for free.

I have no expectation of N64, GC or Wii on NSO. When Game Boy and Game Boy Advance titles become available on Nintendo Switch Online, for 20 bucks a year, that service will feel complete for me. Anything else is just bonus content.

@Romudeth That's why I champion playstation and nintendo. Live service games are fun but I cant do it 24/7 I gotta have my great single player games as well .

@AADarkrai From what it seems, Corrin and Byleth started as placeholders for "a recent Nintendo character". Sakurai and the DLC team didn't commit to either until shortly before development on them started. It seems they keep their options open to avoid the exact problem you brought up!

@Matty_K64 @SnakeJaegerr @NintendoAmerica They're saying imagine this on a switch that doesn't lag or anything when you do something that overuses the processor

@breathofthelyle TBD* Side note. It's not worth picking up. All it did was enhance on the go play. Literally didn't benefit dock users except for a port (gj catching up to the 2000's Nintendo). It still uses the same EXTREMELY dated processor. So now ppl can enjoy frame issues in higher quality

@enterzalman @JonComms Because rumours in a big way. Some people believe rumours too much. Now the OLED switch I believe is valid because it's the exact same console just bigger and more money. And Nintendo isn't even addressing the joycon issue
-

(@UltraBall5) reported
@AAPanzetta @HaxorusQueen This is one of the issues. GameFreak doesn’t make nearly as much money as people. GameFreak reaching $17B in total gross sales over 25years is nothing when companies like Nintendo, Bandai, Activision, and EA have easily beaten that in the last 5 years alone.

@NintendoAmerica Yeah okay sure, but did you guys fix the joycon drifting issue? Because otherwise this thing is just a waste.

@CooperKellis @JonComms The problem is Nintendo fans don't understand the actual meaning of criticism. You can enjoy things and still criticize it because you want to see it get better. They act like liking something and criticizing it are contradictory of one another.

@Ero_Neko @BacklogBecca The problem with that is, Nintendo fanboys are the only fanboys worse than Sony fanboys (and believe me it’s close). So they’ll buy it just because it’s Nintendo. I’ve already seen some try to justify the stupid pricing.

(@Xanderpillar) reported
@PeanutButterGmr Settling just cause you're a fan boy doesn't help fix these problems down the road. It's a major problem for any console to not be able to even hit its own targeted and advertised framerate. Nintendo doesn't help their devs by making bare minimum hardware. Why play dock when lag?

@ProfaneGhost @Matt_Laneagaim @NintendoAmerica Thinking is not the same as knowing. In which case let me fix that for you, you know they skimped out. Because they would do that, and will do that for who knows how long.

I don't know what was weirder yesterday, Nintendo releasing a console with same specs, OLED and more expensive or Microsoft releasing a song by All 4 Men about "the service that shan't be named". Thought it was a dream, apparently it happened. Genius marketing from MS though!

@Lsga_22 @OuuOxley02 @Reecee_yt The Nintendo Switch is perfect right now. My only problems are Joy-Cons (Though I had my Switch for 2 years and never got drift) and the Online. Like, I would pay 20 a month for online and old Nintendo games, but its just not good online. Fix that and Joy-Con, and you're set

@PinkSquidz @Kennedy820C @DynamoSuperX I never said it wasn't an issue. I said Nintendo used a hardware other controllers use so it's not their fault that it sucks ****. Their fault is not replacing people's joy-cons unless they're in the US. They force you to spend $80 on new ones if not.

@RizingStormGG Problem is , some fan hype themselves up by believing leaks and some YouTuber. Nintendo never said and Indicate that there going to be a “Pro”. Those fan will still blame Nintendo for it smh
