@BOTW2hype "failed in every hardware they made" You don't know what you're talking about LMAO. Valve's VR headset did great. On top of this unlike Nintendo they are actively trying to prevent drift from being an issue. And even if drift occurs, USB port for replacement controller is there.

@fortayee Sony also didn't refuse to fix it if you sent them in and I think Nintendo did too, they could have avoided a lot of bad publicity and possibly even the meme

@yuusharo I will never stop mocking Sony's statements in regards to the PS Vita. The problem wasn't people didn't want portables, the problem was how Sony went about things. The PSP outsold the GBA and was the first time something remotely competed with Nintendo.

@posledneeutro In a best case scenario, Nintendo is probably involved in showcasing the Switch's tech. That's hopeful speak though. I honestly don't know how much trouble PG is having with Bayonetta 3 in making it steady but Bayonetta 2 was pretty OK for the part. It ran better than the Wii U.

@SpaghettItalian @MrSizzily @BadCrippIe I dint think the deck could get better. You can pretty much do anything with it while it's also stonger than the switch. The only problem is that nintendo is out there more.

@Monzter13Gaming @PlayOverwatch Yea. Its a shame they didn't fix it with the new OLED model because I actually might have bought one if they had. For other stuff you have to use the terrible Nintendo phone app. I find its easier to just have discord for other games.

@MousePadChad @MastarMedia I mean sure that's true. But Toei is a Japanese Company so some things in the west aren't necessarily communicated well. Nintendo had this issue with Gameplays. But to be fair Shuisha has basically given the green light on fan art after the big Twitter incident. So some change

@JusagiChan Nintendo is slowly becoming like most other large game company now, offering over priced rereleases, dlc in the form of amiibos, having the worst online quality of all main gen consoles and refusing to fix massive problems with their console (Joy con drift)

@_sparkzz @Kotaku Never had stick drift issues in my 10+ years playing with remotes on Xbox consoles or PS. Idk why Nintendo thinks stick drift has to happen unless it's part of the system to make sure you HAVE TO REPLACE.

@MatttGFX is 3 too many? original, XL, and new XL. in my defense the sticks break on me and instead of Nintendo charging me a ton to fix, I just bought the upgraded versions

MY SOURCES are telling me that the Nintendo online N64 on demand service is ready to go and its launch is expected to be between Monday and 2024.

@bethesda is there any upcoming patch/fix for Doom 64 on the Nintendo Switch? I'm currently running version 1.0.2 for Doom 64. Ever since I upgraded my switch to version 12.1.0 it won't load up a new game or a previous saved game without exiting and restarting the game a lot.

it wouldn’t be a problem if there was a button on the controller that would turn it on when it’s docked like every other modern home console but NO you have to get off your *** and push the power button… you’re the worst @nintendo

Installing windows is not that hard, but they’re all Nintendo fanboys so that explains why installing an OS is too difficult for them. Besides, I’m sure Valve will fix this issue before launch.

Oh Nintendo. My Switch Lite (hardly played and sat in a drawer for majority of it's lifetime) has a ghosting issue. Contacted @NintendoAmerica support and wanted to charge me $110 for the repair plus ship...for a $199 system...that was not...really...played. After 1/3

@BadCrippIe I knew that the Steam Deck would use this as a selling point. Maybe Nintendo will get a clue and fix the joycon drift issues!

@mario_adv2nture @Kirvyx @ScottTheWoz Maybe, but not as bad as you may think. People buy nintendo consoles to play nintendo games. There's no other plave to play them. There is also the small issue of storage on the steamdeck. The console itself sounds great, but the £300 set comes with only 64gb of space. Nothing

@MoondogTartaria @Bowblax @NintendoAmerica I understand that, but as with all Nintendo products, I would rather buy new for a warranty, but knowing that they still haven't fixed the issue doesn't sit well with me. I won't fix anything under warranty. What causes the issue in the first place?

(@SpiveyMario) reported
@Ackermin Interesting. I feel like most of these issues wouldn't be as frequent Admittedly if Nintendo did do a better job in giving people a better way to play some of their older games. Instead of just relying on second hand buying and slow updates for the online service

@iShaggyDaNerd @TheNCSmaster Probably due to Nintendo and Namco co-owning it so licencing problems, either that or they just up and forgot these exist like many of their other dual licence games like Baten Kaitos :(

@Speedy_Gamer_PR @JaimePa37843760 @Wario64 Doesn’t hurt to call again to talk with a new customer service rep. Here’s how it went. I said “I preordered a Nintendo switch Oled model and noticed on your website the price was now cheaper, and was wondering if you’d be able to adjust the price for me”. Part 1
