@RealPT1 I think the issue is Nintendo's whole online aspect for switch is just ***. But that's always been Nintendo's thing. They've ALWAYS had subpar consoles and online exp but people still buy their stuff anyway out of brand loyalty. I don't think that's going to change really...

My left joy con for my Switch had the notorious stick drift issue, but I sent it out to them on Friday and it’s already been fixed and being delivered back to me tomorrow! Insane turnaround @NintendoAmerica

Nintendo can't give me new Zelda content fast enough. Hopefully the SS rerelease, which only isn't the worst because Zelda II exists, can tide me over. I'm hoping they fixed it enough where I like it more and can get my fix.

@ArcanaLegacy i'm sort of uncomfortable about buying stuff from nintendo until they fix the joycon drift issue both of my joycons drift abysmally

@AnishDLS1 @OkiOPoss @DemeechYT Full context; my brother keeps his switch in a Dusty ***** place that would kill any joycons But they are fine 2 and a half years later If Nintendo just stopped selling old ******* stock then this issue would not be as wide spread

Nintendo’s supply chain likely had to scale up to OLED because it’s cheaper to modernize than source out older tech. Despite the unjustified price hike given the supply chain issue, I still want one! 😭

@RGT_85 The problem was the terrible control, people ***** about the Wii, but the problem wasn't the console, but developers not caring enough to make the games playable with the nunchuk, GameCube and pro controller, the console had so many different input choices and Nintendo wasted it

I remember I had a black original nintendo 3DS when I was around the age of 8-9, and I played it TO DEATH. Literally. The Screen Decapitiated itself. so instead of selling it online for someone to fix and keep like a NORMAL PERSON, I did what any sad 9 year old would do.

@mellowestgamer A shill is someone who defends Nintendo doing anticonsumer stuff. I haven't had any drift issues with new Joy-Cons I bought. Those are second hand ones I'm going to refurbish. But the issue needs to be addressed.

@mokmuud @arcarrillo824 @NintendoAmerica The fact that they can't put out a product better than some random people with an ounce of competency in coding is the issue here. Offer something above what the emulators can do by default, then we can talk buying their "upgrades".

@nintendolife I got a better solution “Dont buy it so Nintendo is forced to improve their product and perma fix it on a revision”

Problem trying to talk me down for the piece of my Nintendo switch like I’m desperate to get rid of it lol. I want what I’m asking for or you don’t get it.

@RealPT1 The problem is that most of Jpn only cares about Jpn. In that vein, I feel like they see 'rollback' as the buzzword of the month. But Nintendo is big enough to not care b/c lets be real, everybody already bought the switch and the game. What power does one think they have here?

@NintendoAmerica I don't know what's going on with #MarioGolf online but ya gotta fix it. I can't tell if it's ppl rage quiting or the servers being backed up, but, my God it's bad.

@themack625 You're not a shill by any means. You just enjoy their games. You're reasonable and open minded. A shill is someone who would say "You know Nintendo repairs them for free right?" in defense of the drift. It shouldn't BE A WIDESPREAD problem to begin with!

@MetalJesusRocks It was my first Nintendo system that didn’t work day one. It was replaced with no issues. I was kind of shocked on that since my NES, SNES, N64 etc.. all worked perfect day one & still strong to this day.

@Achimel_DL That still feels weird because of regions: a friend of mine has his main Nintendo Account being US because the eSphop in his country has nothing. But when he contacted Nintendo about an issue, they said "Oh, you're from this country? Sorry, you don't get answers. *blocks email*

@SiameezyRPGer @tech_gaming I know the issue. As does anyone with half a brain. Nintendo screwed up in terms of quality and testing to keep costs down. And they don't care enough to actually discover which components or design choice led to the phenomena being so wide spread.

@lvminary_ @Xbox @NintendoAmerica What is the problem? Banjo was kinda of a Nintendo game at the time, and now it’s on Xbox

@saltcat78 @DemeechYT I’m sorry, in what ******* universe is waiting weeks for a controller to be fixed is deserving of any credit at all? This ****** bandage fix is terrible and Nintendo deserves no praise for doing the bare minimum to “fix” the issue.

@px_gh0st What's crazy is that its such a simple fix and Nintendo still hasn't fixed it
