  • motherfuckr3000 cthy (@motherfuckr3000) reported

    i hate nintendo but like its just a new model not a ****** subscription service or an overpriced game. like.. cool people who dont own a switch can get what the console shouldve been since launch..

  • Surugatari irl Shiki-Ouji (@Surugatari) reported

    Nintendo really just refuses to acknowledge joycon drift is an issue at all huh (there's no mention of the OLED model fixing it)

  • Feralkitsune Feral | #blm | FeralLive.me (@Feralkitsune) reported

    @daviddoel @NintendoAmerica Likely to fix the ability to hack the system. A hardware refresh.

  • Jackisneu Jack Neustadter (@Jackisneu) reported

    @Bryan74430278 @Zarek96320877 @NintendoAmerica Here’s my problem. I’m worried about transferring data

  • Ninestempest Ninestempest #BLM (@Ninestempest) reported

    @NintendoUK @FyraeArt Y'all fix joycon drift yet

  • ShawnSenpai Super Junkhax 64 (눈‸눈) (@ShawnSenpai) reported

    @NintendoAmerica ...... the joycons are the same...at least redesign them so they won't have that drift problem. Talk about bare minimum. Not even a increase in performance?

  • CocoaFox023 🍜LoZza🍜 (@CocoaFox023) reported

    Everyone: when will Nintendo fix the joycon drift? Nintendo: Here have a new Switch model with a slightly bigger screen

  • minzy422002 minzy42 (@minzy422002) reported

    @NintendoAmerica What issues will this switch revision have

  • LiquidWaluigi Semi-Automatic Ocelot #GodBlessTheEnclave (@LiquidWaluigi) reported

    @NintendoAmerica OK. Now fix JoyCon drift.

  • upsidedown_fan Upsidedown Persona Fan (@upsidedown_fan) reported

    @Liran_idk @Innthacut @NintendoAmerica Well joy con drift is a fix needed in the old versions too so we needed that even without this new model and my switch’s build quality is good besides the stand which they improved on this one.

  • doyoulikepantz Mike (@doyoulikepantz) reported

    @NintendoAmerica Now the only issue is if u move over any of ur data from ur old switch then your hours on games pretty much reset, so ur acct will say 200hours for example but you’ll acc be at 0

  • isolated_02 Mel (@isolated_02) reported

    @NintendoAmerica If there's improved joycons then I'm sold. If not then its got a few upgrades but glossed over the literal biggest issue with the og switch which would be a huge missed opportunity to hype up the console.

  • karmicblackhole Vitae 🌗 Karmic BlackHole (@karmicblackhole) reported

    @Bizarnage I conti think this is the New Nintendo Switch pro that was promised? As far as i know they were having problems with the manufacturing due to the chips. Maybe this is just something in between to sell more before the next console?

  • ThyBlueHorse 🦇Bryce Hoodie🥓 (@ThyBlueHorse) reported

    At this point, I'm convinced that Nintendo ran out of Nintendium. Switch Lite didn't fix Joycon drift, why would they fix it on the OLED Model? Because they ran out of Nintendium.

  • totohli Totohli (@totohli) reported

    I'll be out for weeks, have to send my PC back for repair. I was able to record a clip of the issue so hopefully it won't take too long. Nintendo Switch, Netflix, bought movies that are still sealed, it's your time to shine now!

  • ADavatwal Arjun Davatwal #CrashForSmash #UnleashTheBandicoot (@ADavatwal) reported

    @PushDustIn I wish that there will have a Crash Bandicoot Design to the Nintendo Switch OLED Model.

  • ronbcomics Ronnie B (@ronbcomics) reported

    did nintendo ever fix their ****** joycons?

  • Cocodwor C.B (@Cocodwor) reported

    Honestly, I have a launch Switch and might replace it with this one. OLED is the equivalent of the usual Lite/etc upgrades previous Nintendo platforms had (unlike the previous Switch revision that was a basic "fix").

  • BBs28000B sus (@BBs28000B) reported

    @NintendoAmerica They got a new model but still can’t fix joy con drift 😒

  • fnafmasterof191 fnafmasterof1987 (@fnafmasterof191) reported

    @NintendoAmerica Wanna know how you can already do better? Just play it on your tv, boom, resolution problem fixed

  • higgyC Chris Higgins 🔚 (@higgyC) reported

    ah yes, a LAN port, that will fix the problem with Nintendo Online

  • JaceCear Jace Cear (@JaceCear) reported

    @NintendoAmerica Oh and it's the same sticks, so Joycon Drift™ will still be an issue. Yay... 🙄

  • ImprtntAlt toto but backup (@ImprtntAlt) reported

    @yakuza4goated Yeah I doubt Nintendo will fix it anytime soon

  • CorneliusButluh Nigcel Hunter (@CorneliusButluh) reported

    @_rey_j Nintendo has a big problem with re releasing their old games. That’s why emulators are so popular with Nintendo games. Like at least their **** is open source so people don’t have to buy a $90 DS game

  • superiorsinster SIИISΓΞЯ (@superiorsinster) reported

    @NintendoAmerica But have they fixed the drift problem?

  • SHF25Tweets Silver @ #LocalizeDQXOffline (@SHF25Tweets) reported

    @Somecallmejon The biggest problem is that everyone was expecting the New Nintendo Switch Pro XL U Gotta admit though I'm digging the white joycons

  • 3DLink Link (@3DLink) reported

    Fans: please fix joycon drift and boost the docked screen resolution to 4k Nintendo: We made the kickstand wider and the joycons are white

  • Sta_Light_ StaLight 🏳️‍⚧️ (@Sta_Light_) reported

    @yuni__felu Yes. Screen size wasn't a big problem but I thought Nintendo Switch's speaker is terrible

  • BillySakmann Bilbo Baggins (@BillySakmann) reported

    @Noobstoise @NintendoAmerica No problem! If you were waiting for a Switch Pro/power upgrade, it looks like this is not it.

  • kitschyliepard Kitschy 🖤🤍💜🏳️‍🌈 (@kitschyliepard) reported

    @NintendoAmerica I'm not really able to play undocked atm because of your joycon problem; did you do anything to address that?
