@32DaCrow @NintendoAmerica I’m aware of the PS5 drifting. I have not had it happen to me thus far. Nintendo is aware of the problem however they still have the same controllers on the market.

An error with Nintendo Switch Online wiped out 8 hours of progress in Paper Mario, taking me from 14 hours back to my save file when it was at 6 hours. This is despite saving at every save point etc. Won’t be going back to it now.

Why does @PlayStation make it so difficult to buy a game. Like I am trying to give you money. Why does Sony have to be so incompetent. Nintendo doesn’t have these problems

nintendo's N64 emulation for switch causes game breaking bugs in paper mario. doing various things (hitting trees, dying to bosses, seemingly random stuff) can crash the game and delete your save files, which is really cool

@augamr @Innthacut @BITech Sony making as much as Nintendo and Xbox combined right now. Not sure they care it’s “not working”. When you can run a gaming company that can do that, give them a call. Bye.

@The__Goomba Unbelievable that Nintendo didn‘t fix joycon drift by now, right? I love the Switch and it‘s so successful that they basically print money with it, but that ongoing problem really spoils the fun…

@carr_mic @BennyBoiiThePro @FortniteGame he will have needed to create a nintendo online account to play any online games on the switch, so as long as you remember the email and password you login with, you’ll be good to go if you get a new switch.

@NintendoEurope we bought a Switch a year ago for my son, and we’ve had nothing but issues with it. Recently it was sent back to Nintendo to fix it, we had to spend £120 for it to be fixed and returned… and it’s returned TEN TIMES worse. It doesn’t work!! I demand a REFUND! Help

I almost forgot about my Etsy Listings for the Joy Con shims I 3D print (the ones used to help prevent Joy Con Drift (I'm not sure why Nintendo hasn't found a perma-fix for that flaw)). I will still continue printing these when I make a sale on there, but I will improve them.

@TillyKush So I probably just screwed myself by making a new Nintendo account bc my partner and I shared the other account and I don’t remember the login for it lmaooo

You would be better off downloading RetroArch and emulating your favorite games rather then hoping that whatever Nintendo has officially released isn't somehow an early build version or has ON PURPOSE input lag just to **** with you and pirates.

Its been over two and a half weeks since we've gotten a Nintendo switch Grand Theft Auto trilogy update #RockstarGames the game is far from optimal on switch. very far. I swear to God if y'all don't fix your game I'm never going to buy another Rockstar product as long as I live.

@spookyhours40 @32DaCrow @NintendoAmerica I also have had that problem before but I have no choice but to buy replacements, and my pro controller has a small issue with the left joystick so I have to use third party. Also if Sony knows about it and does nothing about it I will be disgruntled.
