  Hey to my peeps talking a out drift issues and Nintendo taking too long fixing the controllers: you can actually fix them yourself (ofc do this at your own risk). It cost us $26 getting the repair kit. Another alternative is using contact cleaner. 🧵

  @Noxyfied This model is next to nothing without better power, storage, and hardware. As it stands, even Nintendo’s OWN GAMES sometimes have trouble running on the Switch, and a true upgrade is needed before consumers start losing interest, which by they way, they already have.

  @Ubisoft @NintendoAmerica Fix for honor bruh

  Nintendo's OLED Switch is honestly dumb. It makes upgrades to the minor things about the system but doesn't fix any of the major issues that the console has at all... honestly a waste of $350 for the people who get it

  @chikcen1 @NintendoAmerica Well if they haven't fixed the Joy-Con issue not going to spend $350 for just a better screen and better speakers

  @NintendoAmerica So instead of a midlife base model upgrade, you jacked up the price by fifty bucks and called it a separate product? How about a midlife price drop for the base model then? Or fixing the damn Joy-con issues instead of continuing to sell faulty ones? Anything?

  The problems: High input delay, framedrops, joy-con drift, fan that comes loose after a few years Nintendo: "But what if we made the screen .8 inches bigger?"

  Why people shitting on the nintendo seitch oled? They just fixed all the issues with the regular switch? Am I missing something or can people just never be satisfied. If they add more batterie life and storage Thais could be the “perfect” switch

  @Tinesger @xABSN @snooterboops "Nintendo doesnt support my country" So you agree, nintendo is the issue here

  @NintendoAmerica That's great, but did you fix the joycons?

  One problem on every handheld which supports native 4K is the excessive heat. It would require at least some active cooling on the current state of technology. #Nintendo won't give their fans a Switch with fans. #SwitchOLED

  @KurriTweets I don't like defending Nintendo but I can see why it turned out like this. - Added storage jacks up the price to something focus testing finds "undesirable" (> 400USD) - It's hard to add power to a small device and heating is a much bigger issue

  I can't wait for Nintendo to come up with another excuse in court of the joycons not working when the new Switch comes out. "We didn't tell our customers that you need to have to play with your Switch console upside down". #NintendoSwitchOLED

  I don't know who expected Nintendo to make a Switch with 4k resolution. For one, they don't put themselves on the same level as Sony/Microsoft in terms of hardware. They go for a more creative approach. The true disappointing part is no hardware improvement for frame rate issues.

  @nintendolife is so easy to fix. Whatever I guess Nintendo will Nintendo

  @NeoGameSpark Ive heard people say nintendo thinks its not an issue idk it clearly is and it should be fixed fro free everywhere, I abuse that all the time tbh and I never use joy cons

  @taranfight @NintendoAmerica I'm not saying that, I'm saying this one is probably gonna have problems with the joycons too

  @KerrtainCall @LaurakBuzz Nintendo has a service to fix Joy-Cons, they just never market it…

  Jeff Jones (@jjonezy1983) reported 48 minutes ago

  @MiiCostumeGuy @NintendoAmerica Nope. Even with handheld i wouldnt really say its a must buy. One thing that i know from my brother owning a oled tv is that they can have a issue of burn in. There is no resolution boost on the switch. Games will still run the same as the previous version.

  @PeanutButterGmr Like yeah sure fps isn’t a big deal but actually it…kind of is?? It’s getting tiring having to play games with bear constant frame drops or just straight up lag. It’d be nice if Nintendo could kinda catch up just a little more to other consoles

  Josh Wedge (@JoshWedge5) reported 57 minutes ago

  @NintendoAmerica So a few things wrong with the current model in my mind. - Plastic screen - NO Bluetooth support for audio - JoyCon Drift - Dock is literally awful, scratches plastic screen - FPS drops Does this model fix any of this?

  @NintendoAmerica This probably have been asked thousand times already but... Is this going to fix the joycon drift? :o

  Tom Ching Cheng Hanji (@ChingChongTigga) reported 58 minutes ago

  Did nintendo even consider the burn in issue with oleds? four-five (even less) years from now people are going to be pissed since games have a lot of static HUD. i got CX because i have extended burn in warranty for six years, i doubt nintendo is gonna cover any of that.

  @NintendoAmerica Not worth the new price due to its still old and now somewhat outdated hardware with just a different screen. Plus no joycon drift fix updates. Y'all just want money
