The cardboard fix going around for joycon drift? I think it might be the key to the whole thing and show what Nintendo needs to change. I’ve played around with every other fix suggested and they rarely work or work for a little while then go bad again. Cardboard? Fixed them all

@OrdinaryGamers Why are y'all hating on nintendo, yeah they haven't been as good as they were back on the gamecube and wii but they have been improving lately for example making a good mario party, bringing back metroid and the generous online service prices

@cmclymer I have a Switch Lite and now wish I had gotten a full-sized Switch just for the bigger screen. Yes, the joycons can develop drift but Nintendo will fix them or you can just buy new ones. I also just refurbished a 3DS and that’s fun but no one is producing new games for it.

@JohnWolfeYT Had nothing but problems with my switch since I got it, overpriced and won’t be buying another Nintendo product anytime soon. Great games for it but let down by the tech

@LiteralDelight It may not. The market was basically dead after the major crash of 83. Remember games weren’t seen as the big media property they are today. They could’ve easily been seen as just a fad if the likes of Nintendo and Sega didn’t give them a chance

@SarahDuffield19 If you've analog problems with the Nintendo switch controller a little square of cardboard in the back of the controller can fix it. What counts as fancy toilet paper? Does it need to have frills on it?

@DarklingGaming @NintendoAmerica Maybe the problem is that the same team is working on a new game while they also promised updates for ACNH. I don't know how big EAD Num. 5 team is, but I think it would be better for both parts if different teams or groups of people worked on Splatoon 3 and NH respectively.

@ipepsi_co And that’s the problem. But when you say that to Nintendo fans it’s “they don’t care about us!!!!!!” No ******* **** they don’t, because you let them get away with bare minimum lmfao If y’all stopped buying Mario’s **** Simulator and thought with your money, **** happens lmao

@BoodaMedz I actually encountered similar problems with local friends, so I know how you feel. They actually refuse to play any Nintendo games with me anymore because I play more/harder than they do, which really bummed me out for the longest time until I met you guys.

Now I think about it, the Nintendo Switch really has this big issue where games have a bunch of references and continuations of older Nintendo titles that are not accessible on Nintendo Switch at all. Metroid Fusion for Metroid Dread for example, or the Zelda series...

Someone said Nintendo cannot fix the Joy-con because doing any change would mean losing their lawsuit. That makes sense and if true, it's a bit sad that the long lawsuits delays actually cause issues to the consumers.

@Anomonn @OrdinaryGamers Morally? Its your problem, I would tell you to buy Metroid Dread because the franchise has been very mistreated, and BOTW2 is also a new zelda game, if you don't have switch you can emulate it no problem, if you pirate your switch is your problem, nothing will happen to Nintendo.

@32DaCrow @DanydoughnutKng @NintendoAmerica “Fixes” mine went to a third party repair service, and they didn’t even fix them. I had to do the actual work myself. (Not the first time Nintendo repair has done this).

@JoeMiller101 Yeah let's compare games that already run on the hardware to those that obviously don't, not that I agree with Nintendo's pricing here, also your missing the point on the PS5 pricing issues, its not about the new content

The Will of D
(@KC_OnlineGaming) reported
@OliverJia1014 But in that line of thinking, all of the current gen setups, as well as PC, are guilty. Possibly Nintendo's the one exception, but I can't recall what the fellows in the mod community said about the Switch when the hornet's nest was initially kicked up over the PS3/4 clock issue.

@IainCaldwell3 @NintendoUK If it's anything like my issues. They'll promise you an update and then cancel your order without telling you. I missed out on the amiibo because of their terrible customer service.

@AndreaPichinini I would say Nintendo owns most of the firsts and achievements in general is a first for Xbox which I agree with but the online service I would say was perfected by Xbox but started with Sega (Dreamcast) which had 4 con and native lan. Microsoft and Sony copy a lot

(@Dairblade) reported
If the problem is its a fighting game which would therefore compete with Smash, look at Pokken Tournament. And if its because its Fire Emblem, the series clearly already has spin-offs. Don't see how Nintendo would have no reason to make or publish one since the concept is cool
