it’s like capcom watched nintendo completely **** in their fanbase’s mouth and decided they could instead take a small polite piss on their fanbase with no issue

I can’t wait for the Nintendo Switch Pro to become real but then nobody is able to get it because of supply chain issues.

I DON'T want a Switch pro. I want Nintendo to fix the issues with the regular one. I don't have money for another Switch 😭

StreamDeck drifting issues? Ok, imma need to see all the videos destroying Valve for this lol Remember, Nintendo purposely made the joy cons drift according to the internet. Also... Switch 2 leak? Interesting 🤔

@TheVioletNexus @TAHK0 @Mr_Casino1 That’s fair enough for me. Honestly, I put most of the blame on Nintendo. GameFreak should be free to make decisions on their own. But it’s still very much an issue that they can’t make finished games. I’m sure they hate it as well.

@FlowerPrince010 That happens to me ALLOT. Seriously Nintendo has to fix their servers.

@Wario64 But the Nintendo Switch sold over 100 million units and everyone knew it had stick drift issues, so it's ok for Nintendo and not Steam Deck?

@catwithbeneflts Well sometimes Nintendo is just perverted and people get horny over it but the people who get horny over anything and everything are the ones with the problems. Give a character even the slightest hint of curves and people go wild. Heck sometimes not even that.

@Doppeliner99 @TheFantasticIan Didn’t Nintendo announce they’d personally fix joycon drift tho? You’d just have to send in your joycons

@OyanTaslim @PlayerEssence Yeah yeah but Nintendo fans shouldn’t be talking as that **** is widespread compared to valves and it’s easier to fix. Only been a few steam decks especially if it’s a launch one

I am going to make an EP called Switch 2 and it is just going to be 12 minutes of me complaining that @NintendoAmerica still has done nothing to fix the framerate in Hyrule Warriors 2.

@TRushdown @verge I mean did you ask pro consumer group what merits "issues" with their JoyCons? Nope. Great fact finding. I have 3 Nintendo switches and no drift on either the lite, gen 2, or OLED. What's more plausible is the abuse some people put on their sticks and then complain they failed.

@dcominottim Hmm yeah but I don't think things are as bad as they are on PC, because Microsoft/Sony/Nintendo have some very strict performance/quality requirements for the games sold on their stores, so it's much harder to ship a broken console game than a broken PC one.

(@MeatCastleGW) reported
@ancient_catbus The thing that frustrates me is that it's just super super cheap of Nintendo. For a cost of maybe 10-20 cents more per joycon pair, they could have largely avoided the issue. Cheap!

(@paulryan220) reported
@TAHK0 Do I think GameFreak gets a little too much hate? Yes. But these games absolutely do not live up the standard set by other Nintendo games. There is no reason GameFreak should be releasing games in these conditions. If time is the issue, then these games need more time.

@Pharaoh_Peter @SpawnWaveMedia Well, we'll have to see how widespread this is and if it's still a huge problem 5+ years after the steamdeck launch before we can really make a fair comparison to Nintendo's handling of the problem.

@SpawnWaveMedia Not a widespread issue like it was with The Nintendo Switch

i dont know what is worse, nintendo fans knowing joycons suck and just ignoring the defect they should get sued for or valve fans yelling at anyone that had a problem with anything with the steam deck

@PraxicWarlock @LjinkKidd @Wario64 Nintendo doesn't honour it outside of America either, even when acknowledging it as the same problem.

@PlayerEssence Steam Deck drift is not a widespread issue. At least for now. Joy Con drift is a widespread issue that has been around for at least three years and has yet to be fixed by Nintendo themselves. Plus the system just came out. We might get a calibration menu update that fixes it.

@MaibergerAustin @Wario64 They deadass said they'll fix it for you or send you a new one tho man. Nintendo won't even remotely do something close to that

@houseflippersim just wondering when the next update for the Nintendo switch will be to fix the bug where we cant see our tasks because i really wanna get back into playing it again

@AboutNintendo The steam deck hasn't been out for even a week, the reason nintendo was anti consumer about it is because they didn't fix it and actively ignored the issue, if it becomes really bad with the steam deck, (which is unlikely because of the massive difference in the two joysticks)1/?

@Magusaurus It’s broke. Mine just did the same. Nintendo said they can’t even guarantee to recover saved data if they fix it.

@JavaidUsama @Wario64 Nintendo has a full joycon and system repair service where they fix your joycons or system for free, and if they can’t fix them, they send you a new one. I’ve gotten a whole *** new system and joycons from them.

ka chow what's poppin
(@Mattybangin) reported
@snarkysunbro At the very least in some tiny form of good news it will be easier to get it fixed since they teamed up with ifixit, instead of Nintendo's god awful option of sending the joycons in and them still barely acknowledging it's a real problem.

@PlayerEssence Didn't literally e dry new gen controller have these issues but only Nintendo got any bad press for it?

(@TheMav3000) reported
@JamesJimothyIII @PlayerEssence Honestly man, the deck has been out to the public around 24 hours and he’s already jumping on it like it’s a W for Nintendo… considering it’s literally this new, it’s pretty common for day 1 products to have manufacturing errors and issues out of the box, just like the PS5

@DigitalGal_ I wish I had a favorite, either board game or video game in which I had both, but I probably spent 80% of the time outside playing sports, riding bikes, getting into trouble. But maybe my Atari and Nintendo (1st gen) games, any game.

@ReaperWorlds @iamalitayyeb Even GTA "Definitive Edition" had a similar issue. But, wherever it's a Nintendo game, it's not worth buying. It's implied that people are too cheap/devalue Nintendo games.
