“I like Nintendo and the products they make” “I have a problem with some of Nintendo’s business practices or the way they do certain things” Both statements can be true at once and I’m tired of people online thinking that it’s impossible

@NintendoAmerica It's simply meant to appeal to casuals who may not own a switch yet or may want the upgrade. Yes third parties have addressed and fixed some major issues with the consoles, but would casuals think to use third party solutions? Probably not. So get ******** over it people. (2/3)

@Lynx_Rose1990 Definitely. This is my main problem with Nintendo just in general. They rely so heavily on their fanbase ALWAYS buying stuff that they always do the bare minimum. It sucks because The Switch is such a cool design for a console, but instead of going all the way they make it-

@TeslaAraven @_mari427 who'll just keep what we have, letting people who have been struggling to get a Switch get a chance to grab one. If they made a completely new model? Hello PS5/Xbox Series S|X issue again. But now it's worse because Nintendo naturally gets inflated alot quicker.

@NintendoAmerica @Nintendo I am happy to see a new Nintendo Switch coming out on the market, but I must ask: has the joycon drift issue been fixed yet? All of my controllers drift and I am hesitant to invest any more money in products that fail to to function longer than a year.

I love my Original Switch and Im super stoked to own one but its not without its shortcomings of Framerate issues and loading issues along with its intentional small storage for nintendo to make you pay more money for a new version with more or to get you to buy a memory card 4/?

@AHalfNickel @_mari427 Yeah this isn't just a Nintendo problem, it's a game industry problem. Only Microsoft seems to care about backwards compatibility which is literally the only reason I might eventually get an Xbox.

@Kief_Gringo @NintendoAmerica The issue is the thing can't even run 1080p at 60 fps for the most part lol. Think 4k was unrealistic but at least improving the hardware so it didn't feel like running an upscaled 3ds would've been nice. If you already have a switch this isn't worth the buy tbh.

Game Over Thirty

1/ Back when I was analyzing the #NintendoSwitch as a "soon to be" product, I looked at it with typical business tools and had trouble finding the right market for it, as did many others. (I left the door open for Nintendo to hit some odd middle ground and succeed.)

TDLR I would like some hardware improvements that actually Mean Something but they need to work on major issues w/their joycons first before I even consider upgrading my switch/buying any more nintendo consoles. They need to prove they can make a new product that won't break.

@CalebKobas @NintendoAmerica And the good damn pro controller having the worst design d-pad ever. ******* register gosth clicks. Made poyo poyo testris unplayable. Have they even fixed that. And I went back 3 times and changes the controller. But all had the same problem.

anyway between "special editions" and past hardware problems how many versions of the switch do we now have? i feel like nintendo is setting this up just to capitalize on the whole switch collectathon people are doing

(@TheWallris) reported
@Crunkulous @jeremias276 @NintendoAmerica Generally most people don’t care about the framerate as long as it’s not like 3. Nintendo has much bigger and worse problems to fix than the FPS especially when most people don’t need extremely high framerates

@geoffkeighley It's not enough to make me buy a new Switch. Nintendo should focus on fixing the problem with their damn controllers first. Also, didn't the first PS Vita model have an OLED screen almost 10 YEARS AGO?

@NintendoAmerica How about shipping better joycons that are better built and don’t suffer from drift Oh wait, sorry, that still “isn’t a problem” 😒

@Stealth40k The improvements in themselves are great. The problem is that I am doubtful we will get another "revised" model of the Switch within this generation now. I may be wrong, but I am under the impression that Nintendo thinks the OLED Switch is the ultimate Switch... they shouldn't.

Game Over Thirty
(@GameOverThirty) reported
6/ So... Despite the view that it doesn't fix their aging hardware challenge, and despite the fact that #Nintendo appears to be selling you the same thing, again, I'm not sure it's the wrong move overall. I'm making the assumption now it will sell within expectations.

@YoRHa_PROJECT but anyway abt the joycon drift: im seeing people already claim that they didnt fix the drift with the new model which is just..... really funny to me because can you ******* imagine nintendo putting "we fixed the drifting issue that we ignored for years and got a class action-

@CalebKobas @NintendoAmerica It's Nintendo doing the bare minimum again. They revamp of the controllers? Nha **** that we like you buying new ones. Left out Galaxy 2 in the all-star pack. Don't bother to upgrade smb64 or sunshine. And God forbid u could play Supermario maker online whit out a lag fest.

@Lythero Nintendo Switch XL It's just a bit better, not enough to buy it if you have the original. Also featuring the same issues

@NintendoAmerica Nintendo is in need of new hardware, not a shiny new screen... most 3rd party software can only play in 30 fps while the competition has upgraded to 60 fps gaming, i love Nintendo but on the hardware front you really lag behind.

@MasaeAnela Same here, I'm going to hold off for Now as My switch is still working normally(The OLED Nintendo Switch however does alleviate some of my complaints(especially Regarding the Tabletop Kickstand being the one issue that I had with the OG switch)) at this time.
