@NathanielBandy1 This makes me happy in the fact that people will finally start realizing that defective controllers are an issue across all three gaming manufacturers, not just Nintendo.

@Sonic_Gamer501 @DJTakozawa Nintendo is actually surprisingly good at preserving titles. Like when Squenix lost the source code for Trials of Mana, yet Nintendo had a backup of it. Nintendo's problem is actually releasing the damn games to the public on modern hardware.

@Snakespeere Lol, that happens a lot, Nintendo really should have fixed that, but we're past half the gen now and we can only hope the next console fixes that issue, it sucks, but they never really addressed it

@Matt_Laneagaim @NintendoAmerica you can buy me a new Switch if $50 is no trouble for you.

@NintendoAmerica @animalcrossing please let us put rugs outside. I don’t care if there’s a shadow problem. I heard it’s in the code and modders have done it. We would need much fewer design slots if this was possible

The fact it's 2021 and the technology and resources around and people are literally lost in the sauce going to the store asking 21 question creating 99 problems... like I just need someone to unlock the case so I can get a Nintendo switch!!!

@MetaAlphaWolf @blueisviolet The one purchase, but then you also have gamepass which is already profitable, and where you get access to a lot of 3rd party as a service. Those that say Sony ask them what happened to PS Vita, the console Sony already dumped, because they lost to much grown to Nintendo.

@Kirvyx I did, I found someone online who faced the same issue and it looks like it's a console malfunction thing. So looks like I can either send it to Nintendo or suck it up and just by a new Wii U. Weighing my options lol.

@mariokart Makes me disgusted to support the brand, but MS has its own problems with censorship and Nintendo has other problems. Wish there was a company out there that just made a good console and didn't insult the consumer's intelligence.

@tenstrife joycon drift is pretty easy to fix! I used to have as well but when I switched out the shells it was because of like small dust particles but it’s better to have nintendo do it since it’s free

@EugeneEugene87 @Soulraque Its odd nintendo doesn't have all old titles from every console available on their store for switch. Seems like if they had them all for 5$ ea they would make a killing. Or a subscription service.

@KariOne_ @SouljaTroll @verge Um it's not the same as a xbox or playstation just looking at it could tell you that and I have never experienced controller drift on any console until I owned a switch. And Nintendo had a lawsuit out because of it so yes its an issue.

It’s hard for me to understand AAA titles being bad. That didn’t used to happen. Maybe the issue was growing up on Nintendo.

@GameSpot My only trouble with this model is that I have no idea who is really for. A casual player would rather save and get either the normal switch or the lite while a Nintendo Fan already has a switch and most of them don’t have an interest just for a new screen.
