@vicious696 That’s the problem though. Nintendo got no issue doing half asses effort stuff because people keep lapping it up anyway.

@TheRetroKaiju Actually maybe not The joycon problem has been fixed as second edition joycons don’t face the same drifting issues The reason why there are still so many reports is because Nintendo refuses stop top selling first edition joycons

Thought that however much people were let down by the new nintendo switch version with like 4k and ****, it'd at least have the standard battery life/ maybe slightly faster, throw in a new online game service to make people think only it can run n64. but this was actually nothing

The ******* AUDACITY of Nintendo to announce a new Switch model and not use it as an oppertunity to address / fix the huge and universal drift issues with their joy-cons is ludicrous

I get why, legally, Nintendo chooses to not fix the drift problem, what I don't get is why they don't make new joycon models that function differently mechanically and are marketed as a different product to compensate for that

@RTGameCrowd @NintendoAmerica It's debatable to call this an upgrade when it will only allow you to see the bad framerate, draw distance problems and other performance issues, in handheld mode more easily. I think a worse screen would actually make the terrible performance less noticeable.

@writersflood I wanna know if Nintendo addressed joycon drift problems from previous Switch models.

@Nickachu_Knight @MetalJesusRocks You know, I did not think about it before. But I could see this new Nintendo switch being perfect to play Link's Awakening with. I always had trouble with the colors in that game with the average switch. But this one. It kind of makes me think and now. Maybe I'll grab it next yr

Minimal effort from Nintendo to cash in on a platform in its twilight years of relevance. The current model’s display is atrocious so I’m glad they are fixing that some…many problems will be worse on this bigger screen. Switch needs a complete overall to matter with next gen.

@Madrigal2095 But if the Switch is having issues with its own games, it needs a power upgrade. Especially if they want more third party games they’ll need to give it something or it’s just a glorified Nintendo game only console & the first party stuff isn’t enough to support itself.

@BluSatire I can’t say I’ve had problems playing PS4 games on my standard PS4. They just don’t look as good or load as fast as on the Pro, but they play well. Games were being upscales to the Pros not being made directly for them, which is the approach Nintendo could’ve taken.

@AAAAllleeeennnn I did,and it works like a charm,The official dock randomly stopped working anyway,and I was able go get this one by itself,not bundled with another switch like Nintendo wants and let's me charge and play in Tabletop without cord issues,it's really handy

What’s with the “we expected performance enhancements on the Nintendo Switch” brigade? It has had no performance issues at all. Unlike mobile phone companies, Nintendo likes to stick with what works.

@Ophiolith The “New” Nintendo 3DS that locked software out if you didn’t have the best machine was pretty shady, I’ll agree. That said, I was at LEAST expecting a #Joycon fix. Those things are SO prone to faults, I’ve had three individual buggered ones.

@NintendoAmerica Did they finally fix the joycon drift with this one?

I wonder how many Nintendo fans know what a LAN port is and how many people will still use Wireless and STILL complain about the lag. Just plug in a wire bro it's not hard.

@NintendoAmerica The real question is have you guys finally decided to fix the ******* drift in the controllers? I don't want to buy a brand new console just to have my controllers break within a month.

If you defend Nintendo’s new switch you’re the problem.

@IntroSpecktive Blame all the new card manufacturers. Nintendo had production issues on their regular switches because of them(heck Sony and Series X are still goin through it). It seems like Nintendo may just be waiting out for them to get something together

@JokarioArt Yeah most of what is enhances wasn’t even a big problem unless you somehow **** it up in some way but that’s not do to Nintendo that would be self inflicting to the person’s system

@MiiCostumeGuy @NintendoUK Yeah, more people have use it docked. But this is a 2020/2021 poll where lockdown has plagued us. Also, the docked experience is more streamlined and doesn’t need much updates - as long as you have a pro controller drifting isn’t as much of a problem.

@Jules3324 @NintendoAmerica People like you are the problem... Stop bootlicking. They could habe release games for the base switch and the pro version. Your argument is pure **** and people like you are the reason why nintendo can do the bare minimum

@Rycaster I totally understand people's issues with the Switch's performance issues and I definitely would've liked if this model had more power under the hood but Switch units sell like crazy, so clearly Nintendo didn't have much incentive to address that a lot of people just don't care

@Trebed_ @NuKE_M8_ @NintendoAmerica It would also require them to admit there is an issue, but since they’ve been sued over it, admitting an issue would mean losing the lawsuit
