Hero Of Light XIII
(@X234Kyle) reported
A whole year of playing on my own Nintendo Switch and I FINALLY come across the drift issue...though it's with one of my more recently purchased pro controllers, the golden Zelda one. The left stick just keeps drifting to the left and the system just refuses to calibrate it.

@CartridgeGames The problem is that Pokémon is already with WB, so they can’t do a full Nintendo crossover. Maybe it can just be the in-house characters.

@brokemyninja @HilgersMarco @PlayStation So they can't just do emulation? You can emulate PS3 and PS2 games on any strong PC. I think Nintendo used emulated games for their N64 games. So is it actually physically possible but they can't because of licensing issues?

@CashGeeks @NintendoAmerica From what I've personally seen, the lag input lag ain't even decent. I only know one person from the community who hasn't had any lag, the rest are showing otherwise. Heck, there's even an input lag on the non-expansion SNES & NES online service.

@KingBoyGamer Why don't you want him to keep repeating it? Until Nintendo decides to make a half decent backwards compatibility program the issue should continued to be brought up. If no one says anything Nintendo will continue to half *** it.

@NintendoAmerica Please release the original SNES Yoshi's Island on Switch. It's already been ported for the subscription service; please let us buy it.

@writersflood No clue. Nintendo didn't even bring the OG Final Fantasy to their NES online service. I wonder if they have some kind of beef with Square

@Minjinx012 I wouldn't call Nintendo terrible since a lot of it is on 3DS and Wii U Their problem is keeping that legacy through each gen

@garda_acnh I don't know if it's necessarily "complaining" in my opinion, I think some people are just panicking. Nintendo is effectively dropping support for ACNH (except for minor updates supposedly) which is a shame, but ACNH wasn't meant to be a service that got updated forever.

@NintendoAmerica Hey Nintendo, why don't you stop harassing YouTubers over NON-SENSE and fix your crappy online service instead? Same for that garbage eshop.

@driiftyfilm Finally give us the sly cooper movie, green light sly 5, full backwards compatibility on ps5, buy back crash and Spyro, buy the rights to croc, release the next nwh trailer, and talk to Nintendo about a crossover fighting game with them.

@InGeniuses @NintendoAmerica Ive sen a few people test the lag issue with the n64 games and they arent seeing any lag man. None on the genesis side either but i didnt expect any there frankly

@Sagieb123 Honestly I'd file a complaint with the seller, I've used mine almost daily for over a year and I've never had an issue, my Nintendo brand pro-controller will sometimes drift if it's low on battery but once I put new ones in its fine so maybe if you haven't charged it in a second?

@NintendoAmerica Hey! Here's a great Idea, Patch the Emulation in the N64 service. I'm paying you $80, Well I'm actually paying $18. But Still! We(my family) are paying you $80 All together. It sure as hell doesn't feel like $80. Wii VC emulation was better and that was 15 years ago!

@Chadtronic The mobile space is where game preservation is at its worst by far. It's an industry wide issue and it's fine to not be cool with that but "Nintendo rug pulling another game" implies it's an issue exclusive to them. Niantic just announced their Harry Potter game is ending.

@ChunEilas @NintendoAmerica Not emulation, piracy. Emulation is fine but when people are specifically pirating games the day they come out there's a huge problem
