Also no joycon upgrades… when every single one I’ve bought has had drifting issues. Nintendo should have dropped out of the hardware market.

@NintendoAmerica You guys forgot to mention how you didn’t fix the joy con problem

Also if they did fix the joycon drift, they aren't going to mention it in the preview trailer because that would acknowledge that the drift exists in the first place which Nintendo doesn't seem to want to do.

@PAULIBABBA I don’t think the price point is an issue. It’s be a LOT better at $300 and then dropping the regular Nintendo Switch. However, I just feel expectations were off. Also, Nintendo is always lackluster in regards to power, but they really are behind af right now.

@Stealth40k or maybe instead of consuming everything nintendo puts out you could ask yourself that MAYBE people have a reason to be mad about what nintendo is doing? they used to be known for their great hardware and customer service so this is extremely saddening

How will the distraught parents know which Switch to be? Nintendo Switch (OLED) Nintendo Switch Nintendo Switch Lite or is this only a problem on Xbox?

@LatteTRD knowing nintendo it absolutely is and i can't wait for this new dock design to bring back the problems of the first dock where it scratches the screen dock socks stocks will be at an all time high

@NintendoAmerica @NintendoAmerica But did you fix the Joy Con remotes? I've had to replace every set I buy because of the drag. Even recalibration doesn't fix the issue.

I don’t need a new upgraded fancy switch Nintendo please please just fix the joy con drift somehow

And again this isn't taking into account Nintendo's big problem for maximising sales. The third party support. That's getting limited more and more due to needing Cloud to run games. It is getting harder to optimise for it since next gen is now a variable.

@BenjiSales The problem with Metroid dread is undoubtedly going to be the fact nintendo is outsourcing it. I’m very skeptical of a Mercury steam developed game

@thabeast721 I agree with you in a way the V3 or as I like to call it V2.1 isn't worth the upgrade unless you got alot of saved games in the internal storage minus what games someone has on the SD card. Nintendo is actually doing fine minus some lag in the power dept.

@SkiethMorganna @NintendoAmerica Switch is already underclocked vs the reference SoC it's based off. You can literally install CFW to increase the Switch clocks to the reference clocks without any issue. And some of the leaks suggest better cooling. If that's the case I expect higher clocks closer to reference

@NintendoAmerica Why tf were people expecting 4k? ******** you need 4k on a switch for when it literally won't makena difference for 90% of all switch games, and that it would hike up the price dramatically. The lack of performance boost is a genuine issue, but you a clown for expecting 4k

@ballad_of_caius Honestly the entire issue I have is exclusively with them giving this a separate name and presenting it as one of 3 versions just...why. This is WiiU level confusing branding all over again. So yes, please do this Nintendo.

@mattswider Unless they publicly address and own the drift issue with their controllers, I'm good not buying anything @Nintendo ever again. **** saving face, fix your mistakes.

Nintendo making a model that won't fix any issues is so on brand of them.

@RosaTheWoz @itsMelloGello It sucks but at the very least you can have them fixed for free. I’m almost certain the newer models are a bit more resilient. Be sure to buy directly from Nintendo instead of any retailer if you ever do buy new joy con. Retailers will have the old broken shid

Nintendo just sat in their office one day and was like...Should we solve our major problems with the current switch, such as joycon drift, frame rates and ****** online? ..... BIG SCREEN GOOD BETTER AUDIO GOOD

That's on top of still missing/undercooked features/apps that Sony/MS and even past Nintendo offerings already have. I like the Switch, but we're still dealing with 2017 interfaces and faults in 2021. One fault of which customers still have to pay for to "fix."

@sss_tdlg @Innthacut @NintendoAmerica imagine that hell devs would go through if they had to optimize for a new console and the old variant at the same time. we would run in that problem, where old switch models couldn't run anything and games could only work on new switchts properly. correct me if i'm wrong.

@NintendoAmerica im actually fine with this, i dont see any problem. def buying

SpeedKomodo
(@SpeedKomodo) reported
@Eithrail @nichegamer Realistically speaking that's not the cause of a "Switch pro" delay. The chip shortage is an extremely big factor in this. Nintendo likely wanted to mitigate that by not upgrading any specs that would make the console suffer from production problems.

@axleblazeSA @CountCooki @NintendoAmerica Oh yeah don't get me wrong, that *is* good at least. idk it just feels lazy tho. Like there's no mention of even having fixed joycon drift, the most serious issue with the switch.
