@MilfInspector @Gracosef @Steam its funny how personally offended nintendo fans are about this. Like you do realize competition will fix the lack of games on the switch??

@PlagueTV I don't think so. As good of an idea as this is, valve also released the steam controller which was a huge flop. IF they make a solid console this could be trouble for Nintendo's market. It could also light a fire under Nintendo's *** about hardware.

sending my joycon to nintendo for a fix. they tell me I might end up paying for it, bc the system is older than 2y??? hello?? this is the infamous "all-systems-have-it" bug that no one can prevent?? just bc I was lucky to not have this drift appear within 2y I might have to pay??

Yo is Nintendo having issues with it's Splatoon 2 servers lately? There's so many DCs.

@CosmicFade @Nintendeal I totally agree, scalpers are only part of the problem. Companies are struggling to meet demand and some companies are straight up ignoring demand in the case of Nintendo and their constant issues with stocking amiibos since the mid 2010’s.

@plinkusdinkus Release issues or trying to pretend that joycon drift isn't a problem? Legitimate good criticisms of Nintendo "SPECS NOT AS GOOD AS CONSOLES WITH DIFFERENT MARKET"? Silly criticism

@arts_vxn @khalmoon If you wanna discuss actual issues with the switch oled, it should be about how Nintendo still hasn't addressed and fixed the drift issue with the joy-cons, which in my opinion is a far more important topic than wether or not the "switch pro" was suppose to be a thing or not.

@Zenya145 That seems weird though. This DLC was announced publicly several weeks ago. Wouldn’t Nintendo have had to approve it some time ago? Dotemu seems to be as surprised and confused as anyone. Seems like it’s some kind of random technical glitch.

@Mlickles Honestly the library alone makes it seem like a problem to Nintendo. Being able to play new games portably and have them running well is huge. Only problem is the price cuz $400 for 64gb is kinda baaaaaad

Nintendo be like "Here's a ****** new model of an already underpowered system, no we will not be addressing any issues of the previous one." or "Here's *character* from *franchise* in Smash! No, we will not be making another game with them."

@gpowerf Even the Switch has issues. The Nintendo staples (Mario, etc) are amazing, but there’s a lot of $5 dross in the store which is unplayable.

@linosonlyfans I'm just so annoyed, because Nintendo didn't fix the joycon issue and apparently the new switch will have the same joycons D:

there's a decent possibility of making it big in the handheld market, u've got like zero competition because nintendo's service ******* sucks. just make the console super pretty with a mainstream advertising/marketing strategy that doesn't predate ******* 2008

@SEGA_Europe @Dotemu @Guard_Crush Someone needs to tell Nintendo to fix the eshop. It's not available 😡

@PaperLink64 @zerogouki_ It would cause a lot of issue if it used the Nintendo Layout. Since most (if not all) PC games with controller support were already designed with Xbox layout in mind.

Pinks
(@Pinkaminks) reported
@docsquiddy @PatStaresAt The biggest issue its gonna face is finding a demographic, since the switch isnt selling because of the hardware, its for the games, and people buying it as just something for their kids to use know nintendo; they don't know steam.

@TmarTn Can you see the problem with this machine vs the Nintendo? GPU in #Nintendo is #Nvidia... DLSS not too far off... and since it's harware based and not software, adding to that the OLED on the new one. It's going to be a hard sell

So I remember a while ago, there was a falcon player that submit a list of problems with captain falcon to a Nintendo representa and then they got heavily buffed. Would doing the same thing with Ridley be a good idea?

@NintendoUK I asked you a question. There's a problem with my switch. The joy-con ISN'T connecting and I want to know why. The least you could do is respond.

@ISephz Yeah... but I'll still want to see how it perfoms. A Nintendo Switch costs 300 € (OLED 350 €, I think). Cheapest version of Steam Deck will cost 419 €. If the perfomance is better enough or more to justify that price difference, I won't see much of a problem.

Are there people who seriously believe that Nintendo is in trouble because of the Steam Deck? It looks attractive as **** but given Valve's track record when it comes to hardware and the fact that this is probably something that only PC enthusiasts will even care about...

I noticed a trend of Nintendo fans who will at best say Daisy is cute but her voice is annoying. A lot say her voice is annoying actually. However they have no problems with the ear destroyer called Toad...you think they just don't like women who talk?

@OrdinaryGamers If Emulation is illegal, Nintendo is in a lot of trouble. What do you think Virtual Console is?

@SarahTheTankie Wavedashing is broken and was never meant to be in Melee. Back then, Nintendo released a patch fix that you had to download via internet using a USB and then apply it to Melee. Wavedashing is overrated and it’s better off removed. Part of the reason I like newer Smash better.
