IT"S not MY BIRTHDAY
(@Roadhogdgod) reported
like mario kart wt would not be 80 dollars if nintendo wasn't confident that enough people would buy it anyway. like it's not worth criticizing random individuals cause it's a much bigger issue, but it's silly to act like their spending habits exist in a vacuum.

@MartinLukasMD @SingularityTars @LookAtMyMeat1 This back and fourth is retarded. The problem is simple: Nintendo's raised prices will tell the industry it's okay to raise their prices too. All the anti-consumer game companies are salavating waiting for Nintendo to make a profit. None of these games are worth 80+ dollars.

@SpudimusPrime89 Lack of information from nintendo on specs, ****** game key cart bullshit , tons of backward compatibility issues ... i could go on but you're not worth the effort.

@bluethdr_ @JesterGreer @CultureCrave I don't have the exact timeline but in the early 2010s you'd, for one thing, have trouble monetising Nintendo game footage on YT. They were also already shutting down fan projects back then.

@ShitpostRock FINALLY! I felt like I was taking crazy pills. I have seen A lot of games on ps5 launching at 80 or more and "crickets" Nintendo does it and NOW people take issue? Better late than never I suppose, but it's still ******* weird.

@ChrisHarte7 I don’t have any issues with my switch 2 but the screen isn’t as colorful as that portal. Butttt I really do appreciate the fact I can enjoy Nintendo games now

@PalRuman88266 @Thatonegum @TAHK0 I'm a very large Nintendo fan I think you'll find. At no point did I say that graphics make a game good. I also said that there are 5 other bigger issues with the series as well. All I said is that these games are ugly, which they are.

@Pirat_Nation Why does it seem like everyone here just wants everything to fail? What's the problem with Switch 2? Seems fine to me, other than the price point. If you don't like Nintendo, don't buy one.

@OBE1plays Wanna know the true testament that Nintendo uses some weird batteries? My Pro Controller (1) is like 5 years old, maybe older. It has some stick drift issues BUT it can still hold the charge for that long. Battery has not degraded what's so ever. One of the best purchases ever

@_Deez_Games Price gouging people with games hardly worth it and locking backwards compatibility behind a paid service that doesn't even include the DLC you may have already bought, tends to make people, even old school Nintendo fans like me, unsympathetic. They deserve the backlash.

@ThrowbackGalaxy My original switch joy cons didn’t even start drifting until like 8 months after I bought my console. To have hardware issues this early on is not good at all. Even though Nintendo is offering free replacement services for the Switch 2 cons, this is a bad look for them overall.

Battery Tip for Switch 2: If you find your battery is consistently draining to 0 in less than 2 hours, you need to do some battery retraining. What is this? Well, the system you got likely has been sitting in a warehouse for 6+ months. Not all launch units were, but many were. Lithium ion batteries get kinda messed up when they sit there that long unused. First, off, if you have any battery bulge, contact Nintendo immediately. That's a separate issue. They will replace it for free and cover shipping cost. That can also happen due to not being used. But lets talk about the battery drain. It causes the system to misread the batteries charge and think it is at 100% (or 90% if you used that setting) without it actually being there. First off, turn off the 90% setting, then play your switch 2 all the way until it dies. Then let it charge back up, untouched, or turned on at all, to 100%. Do this another couple times. Congrats, you have retrained your battery and system, and now you should be getting the rated battery hours of the platform. This is a well known thing with lithium ion batteries and I even had to do this with my new laptop earlier this year because the battery died in less than an hour browsing the net. Once I retrained it, it now gets 6 + hours. That is the end of Prime Tech Tips today.

@brush_wiper maybe it's not sold out everywhere like the ps 5 was since nintendo maybe but just maybe thought ahead and provided way more stock in general? and we are out from the covid times so producing more would have easier possible too. its the first console i had problem to get one.1/2

@UglyIdiot0 Well, I got mine one day late as you could see so I don't know who made a mistake really haha But to be fair, it wasn't Nintendo's fault, the transportation met a problem if I read that right

@midnightlunachr Not quite, though there are efforts from the other competitors to go full digital, none really committed fully to it. Now Nintendo basically goes and kills their advantage they had over the overs all while increasing their price for less service and games...

@FortniteStatus On Nintendo Switch 2, 1) Save the World mode is missing though it’s on weaker platforms. 2) The build placement reticle is way too big and blocks visibility. Please fix these issues for a better Fortnite experience ! 🙏

@NintendoAmerica The problem isn't just that you're woke, its that you're firing voice actors for iconic characters without even telling them. You're just scumbags. Never buying another Nintendo product again.

I still don’t understand why Nintendo could fix the loose in dock issues with the #Switch2 design. It’s so damn wobbly changing a game in and out is terrifying. Feel like I’m gonna break it or ruin the connection to TV

@ShawnSindulfo Well it's cool that Nintendo thought of a way for indies and such to put their game physically out there at a lower cartridge cost Problem is, every company's goal is to make money and reduce costs, so many of them are gonna opt on game key cards and idk, it's a bummer

@darthcloud64 Hey Jacques, is the multi pairing bug with Nintendo controllers still an issue with the laser bear GC mod? If I understand correctly retrotime and the mod both use your software

@LurkinPanda @BlenBodega didn't they already say the joycons also suffer from drift too? even if nintendo offers free replacements apparently now I just ??? is it that hard to make controllers without that issue

@PeterOvo5 You have no idea what the hell you're talking about. The majority of small devs release on pc first due to the fact that Xbox, PS and Nintendo have restrictions for games. And due to the fact some developers release a game broken and patch it later.

@Pirat_Nation Poor battery, stick drift problems that haven't been resolved from the first Switch, consoles crashing repeatedly and even reports of battery swelling. Nintendo quality doesn't mean what it used to mean.

Yes, the advice is true. The Nintendo Switch 2 has a "Stop Charging Around 90%" option to extend battery life by reducing wear, similar to features in smartphones. Enabling "HDR Output for Compatible Software Only" prevents visual issues in unsupported games, ensuring better quality. Both settings are confirmed by Nintendo and tech sources like PCMag and GameSpot. Minor trade-offs include slightly less battery capacity and the need for an HDR-compatible display.
