    @OutOfPocketChum @LaprasKnowsBest @ArtistNcs It really comes down to picking your poison. Regardless, Nintendo fans will most likely get it. The best thing anyone can do is just to know what you're buying, what to expect for issues, and so on.

    @FortniteStatus i play on xbox series s and he play's on nintendo switch, he said he had the same problem, when we press the app icon the game takes 3 times longuer to connect then before

    Then as a businessman @TripleH @WWE needs to know their place and provide the best quality service to their consumers. Pushing wrestlers that ppl want to see become megastars is consumer friendly while doing the opposite in any degree is anti consumer. Don't be like Nintendo.

    @realimjustkey It depends on your taste. My problem is Nintendo and how they treat their consumers I'm not supporting that. But at same time I'm not a hypocrite we all have **** we love and end up supporting which indirectly someone ****** up involved doing shady ****

    @NierHellFire It is also important to point out. I'm talking about genuine good remakes. P3R, Resident Evil series, Crash Bandicoot etc Not ****** remasters Nintendo likes to produce. Unfortunately some companies really use the idea of remakes as a tool to get into players pockets

    @J_ROOST @NintendoAmerica Mentioning that the game is $80 isn't dumb but a fact; the game is priced at $80 so Nintendo makes YOU think that buying the bundle will save you money. You guys assuming that we HAVE TO willingly pay more money for less content is the really dumb thing here and the root problem

    @FortniteStatus bought a Nintendo Switch 2 and the game has excessive random rubberband lag. Checked on my laptop and switch 1 and the issue doesn’t happen on either of those devices. Any help?

  • Amor_Lasciviae

    As someone that owns multiple enthusiast level PCs, you can't overcome the hardware gap in a compact system. My issue is that Nintendo didn't make up for it anywhere else. They didn't integrate an onboard SD card for more storage on top of the slot. Increased prices though.

  • SuhJamesNsane

    @Zodyrus @pory_leeks The problem is Nintendo. One showcases what Game Freak is capable of. The other shows that happens when they're forced to churn one out every 1-2 years. Simple.

  • AdeyinkaRotimi1
    Tobi Adeyinka (@AdeyinkaRotimi1) reported

    @Chris_Dring I fully expect them to launch a streaming only service or subscription for TVs and stuff in the future if adoption starts gaining traction. But they will do everything to ensure that 30% is still very lucrative on their own platform and not give it others. Nintendo will be well..

    @Grummz imo its not even the price, but just bad customer service/quality lately. i miss old nintendo. im passing for now.

    @SW1TCHBLXDE ok so you would need an update and internet to update so you would not be able to with a fresh system or a system you had to restore and a fresh cart. this would be an issue if/when nintendo offlines the servers/shop. both are pretty common scenarios

  • Maroxad
    Maroxad Ⓥ🚲😷 (@Maroxad) reported

    @nightopiaz @lightskinpalace Granted, you could make a case about how it should be sold at a loss. But this has been an issue with Nintendo forever, and not exactly a Switch 2 issue, as much as a Nintendo issue.

    @PiperistheNewbl It's not a waste. What he's doing is a public service and really Nintendo should do this themselves.

    It is, you’re giving me an argument with no way to prove it. You just saying it doesn’t mean it’s true. I can’t find a single example that proves Sony and Xbox don’t do the same thing. Also I would argue even if it was a problem with only Nintendo, which it’s not, they just filled over 3 million console preorders on day 1. The most video game consoles sold on day 1 of all time. Thats the opposite of scarcity. Also they sold twice as many console as the ps5. Opposite of scarcity. I’m talking about consoles only right now.

    My opinion on the Switch 2 has changed... slightly. The EULA problems have been clarified and we now have a better understanding of what we are agreeing on. I still don't like the notion that you can't sue Nintendo for anti-consumer practices, but you do, in fact, own the system.

  • Impreza_Star

    @Xamoel @sonic_hedgehog If it happens, I hope Crash and Spyro come out on other platforms, and what about PlayStation and Nintendo characters?

  • violetpurpleish
    violetpurpleish (@violetpurpleish) reported

    @Adziwo_ @NintyPrime Yeah that's the part I really hate about buying new hardware. If the issue with the trigger seems like something that doesn't fix itself over time, you might want to send it in for repair. I would hope Nintendo lets you keep the console so you can still play it in the meantime.

    Nathan, battery calibration can help fix inaccurate charge indicators on the Nintendo Switch, as Nintendo and tech guides like iFixit confirm. It ensures the device displays the correct battery level but doesn't improve actual battery life or fix degradation. Your advice may mislead if presented as a universal fix, as Void suggests. Here's a disclaimer for your video: "Battery calibration corrects inaccurate charge displays but won't enhance battery capacity or fix a degraded battery. For persistent issues, consider replacement per Nintendo's guidelines." This clarifies the method's scope and limitations.

    mlb the show friends: so i am STILL getting disconnected from online gaming despite going into my internet firewall and opening all the ports customer service told me to. i'm so stuck, someone pls help me bc they wont help me any more than that. i have a nintendo switch

  • kjcole0811

    @tk_the_kitsune @KingNarukami45 Problem is that Nintendo are getting the cards from a different manufacturer so unless they have another option, 64 is all 3rd party has and they hate losing money so game cards are cheaper even though I’m not a huge fan. Madden is 61 and that’s using a game keycard

  • tempestwolfvt
    TempestWolfVT (@tempestwolfvt) reported

    If you take a moment to watch the video, they explain the issues with the Switch 2. I said I wouldn't recommend based on an informed decision from professionals that analyzed the device for repairability and showing underlying issues such as the drifting issue which Nintendo is aware of themselves. That's all.

  • Speady99

    Didn't Nintendo push a Day 1 patch to fix these specific issues? Update your ****.

    Been having a lot of wifi issues with the Switch 2 as of recent. Can't explain why, hopefully Nintendo puts in a system update that fixes it.

    @CHARMERS96 I think the **** reality is the games were gonna be 80 whether Nintendo did it or not. We need a industry crash like yesterday

    @RiloeGaming nah bring back back the Sega vs Nintendo energy from the 90s, I love it when game studios have beef. It's only a problem if the ones throwing shade can't back it up.

    @FerrisWheelPro Bro the part Nintendo fanboy don’t understand has nothing to do with people been mad at you for buying a NS. Is your money you the way you like. The problem comes when the same fanboys start talking nonsense about the NS2 been as powerful as the ps5 when barely reach a steam deck

    @DestinLegarie wow the amount of people who have lost the understanding of turning on the a nintendo hardware putting the game in and play---99.99% of people are now frankly scary "internet plugged in", "What's the problem?" It's you.(not you Destin, them)
