@IGN Nintendo Switch Joycon drift is a serious, worsening, international problem 😞

You know, I look at the smash scene going through their issues with Nintendo, and recognize that if any of the companies in the FGC did the same thing as them, the scene would not exist. I see this is a cautionary tale that could happen with other companies with grassroots scenes

@IndieGamerChick Final Fantasy III US. I mean, Final Fantasy 1 was hype enough with Nintendo Power pushing it for a whopping 7 months (3 bi-monthly issues, and a full strategy guide on the off month). But what we knew at the time as 3 just had me on the edge of my seat. I was not disappointed.

@IronClawGaming @wccftech Controllers are expensive, and if you give them a bad treat, you will break something for sure, even if it only has joysticks on it, look at the Nintendo Switch controllers and the drift problems it gives cause his small size respect the force you apply them.

@CarnesUego Same, they could have expanded virtual console so much more but they killed it off for the worst online service I've ever seen instead, it's like pulling a glorious rug away only to reveal a ***** carpet with poo on it, Nintendo are such a hopeless case.

@DanielTG85 @PearlteaRizzy I've never had the issue since I got my SD (Non-Nintendo Branded) that I've had since launch. I think it's different types of SD cards that can overheat due to it either being defective or a knock-off

I feel like it's impossible for me to just simply enjoy nintendo games while still having a twitter account. Sure, if you have problems that's fine, but why does everyone have to be so harsh and hyper focused on small issues.

@SimonStevens187 Animal Crossing will take the number 1 spot next year. As for piracy, that's not a people problem (because not everybody pirates). That's a Nintendo problem. Only reason I'll be playing Switch regularly in 2021, is because of Monster Hunter Rise, otherwise it's PS4/PS5 for me.

@GabrielG_2016 @GoNintendoTweet I’ve never had drift problems while owning an Xbox and a Playstation console. Hell I’ve own all of Nintendo’s consoles but not one except the Switch has ever had Joy Con problems.

@MissedHaxDash I would like to agree but considering how Nintendo already has an issue with it I would think monetizing it is a terrible idea and donos and patreon are the way to go lol

@CrimzenDagger Yeah that’s a whole different ball park of issues cause I don’t see this happening with Xbox or Nintendo so why the PS5 got everyone acting like a fiend

(@axe_ero) reported
@_justadoggo @Zpocalypse_ @IntroSpecktive To assume Nintendo doesn't do it just because they're Nintendo. When we have evidence from people of what's a very common quality issue, on top of from what I've seen close to utter denial of it... Most of the info doesn't side with Nintendo here. So evidence currently.. well..

@Kekeflipnote Lol, that's super clever! xD But seriously, it's a big problem that Nintendo needs to fix.

@NintendoAmerica Warning: the expensive switch has low quality removable handles for play. They quit working, within 6 months on mine. kind of disappointing for the price. In the middle of the pandemic, it's been hard to mail it ups in for service. It's great other than that. Hope they fix that.

@NintendoAmerica Hey can you fix my joycon drift. At least make them go on sale for Black Friday/Cyber Monday.

@Neitsuke It's not hard at all, actually. One of my multiple professions requires me to have complete understanding of the copyright law and even if I'd have problems with Nintendo or the like, that doesn't affect Sankakus use of my art. In this case, I'm in the legal right and then some.

@jelly_deals @eurogamer Don't waste your money unless it has a pro controller. It's a defective product that Nintendo refused to fix.

@UltimaNylocke @LunaDachiii @NintendoAmerica I respect your decision, of supporting this "movement" even knowing it will likely not work to affect the company causing the problem, so instead, i'll retweet your original freemelee tweet, even if i think the the hashtag is kinda annoying it is still important

@NintendoUK hi, could you help? My Nintendo 3DS XL is having problems, it keeps randomly shutting off? It was fine until a few weeks ago. I checked the battery connection, and it seems fine to me.

(@EdComment) reported
@luulubuu It's why the most popular game in the world is league Because its are super accessible to play on any PC that's common in developing countries. Nintendo having a "Piracy" problem? Might be because you make your titles hard to access unless you have expensive proprietary hardware.
