@NintendoAmerica this was a disappointment.... feels like a cash grab. sorry. the upgrades are odd. the only way they even make sense is if to accommodate supply chain issues.

@greenmoat Well, the problem is the NVIDIA Tegra processor (is it the ARM chip? idk) Its not powerful enough to handle AAA games. If Nintendo could use AMD APUs or other modern chips, they would be fast as the Xbox Series S. I have drawn some sketches myself how my console would look.

@Casual_PKBeats I don't care what Nintendo does with their consoles, I just want them to fix their damn controllers. I don't give a **** about resolution, I don't give a **** about framerate, I just want to be able to play the damn game. Call it a hot take all you want, but Gameplay > Graphics.

@mrfeelswildride I truly am sick of them doing literally nothing, granted I've had no issues with my joy-cons, but that doesn't mean others haven't Nintendo's inactvity sucks when it comes to fixing their own ****

@The_Yazinator It was still an upgrade tho, this OLED isn't. This was a 4 year wait for what is essentially the equivalent of a 3DS XL. There's no good excuse when Nintendo knows there is demand for a more powerful swtich, and switch's performance issues are getting very noticeable

@P4p4Burgundy I’ve never had processing or frame rate issues. Works for my switch usage for sure. Nintendo doesn’t need to keep up with the competitors in the market. They’ve always done their own thing. Shame for the consumer, but meh. I’m not getting one. My day one switch is perfectly fine

@Royal_Drako @SickTv4k Yes, I write in English all the time. What I wrote was pretty basic level English. If you are having problems comprehending it maybe that's on you. But I'll dumb it down further... Nintendo are making record profits. So those saying Nintendo don't know how to run a business...1/2

@detroitotaku Maybe that tells something more about Nintendo's hardware than the developers. That said, even 1st party have the issues: think that, the people who created the console don't know how to run their games on it...

@MrSunnyDEV @NintendoAmerica 1) there is a new dock. And it addresses the number one issue I’ve seen people have with it (built in LAN). 2) complaining about no games with it? Do you also complain when XBOX or PS doesn’t come with a game?

@photoedfade @CountCooki @NintendoAmerica I don't mind the push of 4K, the problem is that these people think it will result in Switch Games looking as good as the Xbox Series X or PS5. And to that I say... Fat Chance.

@DanielMcArdle3 @Zeldamaster9001 What you see as sad, is certainly subjective. If you can't see what's wrong with this, then you're the problem and that's how Nintendo can get away with anything. Don't go crying about someone making fun of you, shaming, and etc. We're on the internet.

@photoedfade @CountCooki @NintendoAmerica the joycons suck ****: they have more input delay then the pro controller and start to drift the dock sucks ****: its really low quality, no lan input, tends to scratch ur screen the switch has so many problems that arent fixed with a ******* oled screen, pls stop pretending

@jcgroovez First time in my life that I've experienced anything like this owning a Nintendo console, only other issue I've had is my Wii back in the day crapping out it's graphics card but even then it still worked but it just had fuzzy blobs scattered over the screen lol.

@AEGRO_84 All Nintendo friends and people that I know have at least 3 When I ask them why, theirr answers are almost the same: The 1st one has drift (or another issue) so I bought another and the lite it's because I want to collect them all! You got it? Collet them all catch them all? Lol

Iron Joe - Ashley and Red for Smash
(@IronJoeBro) reported
I think the fundamental issue is the assumption that pleasing fans is zero-sum; anything fans want would inherently be at the expense of the developer’s vision. I doubt that. Sakamoto wanted to make Dread, and I’m sure plenty of Nintendo employees wanted to see Ridley in Smash.

@KusuoWasTaken @NintendoAmerica @SpikeChunsoft_e Honestly I feel like most franchise's downfall isn't from the game itself but more like the communities built from it. People's actions will cause a lot of problems for every game honestly.

@Seraniiim @bair54096307 @ExandShadow Ps4 pro came out for $400, same price as the base PS4 model and it's a pretty decent step up from the original. They didn't even do the bare minimum. The switch struggles with even some Nintendo games, people atleast want to be able to have games run without performance issues

@Vohris Yea I'm all about my premium tech but my issue with my Switch is all performance based. If those areas in games with a tone of fps lag are just more of the same its a no from me. I'd be sending Nintendo the wrong message so I'll keep it moving in of Switch.

@agentbizzle What Nintendo doing is really really smart they releasing different options for the switch in the right time if they offerd the lite and the oled no one will get the lite but now you can upgrade from the lite to oled or replace your broken original switch with the new model

tired of the same old unproven Nintendo conspiracy theories, want to cause trouble by starting a new one like “they made the user interfaces in Switch games really boring so that burn-in would be less apparent on Nintendo Switch (OLED model)”

@HotcakesHime I really want to play that game! Is there a way to play that game without needing to sign in with that Nintendo account thing?
