@RisingBlur @dehrenikx @NintendoAmerica You know how I know they don't? Instead of releasing a version that fixes the numerous performance issues present in docked mode, they released this which changes almost nothing (except likely making performance in undocked mode worse due to the higher quality screen)

@Touchdownfan_ No I'm disappointed. This should have been a Switch Pro. Idk why you arent asking for progress to be made. And exclusive like the 3DSXL is on Nintendo. Because Sony and MS have no issue scaling games to different hardware.

I'm waiting for Nintendo saying the OLED Switch doesn't have joycon drift to be the first time they acknowledge that the problem exists at all

Doc: Nintendo, I've just come back, FROM the future! We've got to go! We've got to fix the future of Nintendo Switch! Nintendo: Why, do we turn out to have bad graphics or something? Doc: No, Nintendo! It's your framerates! Something has got to be done about your framerates!

@PurpleOJ_YT @NintendoAmerica They likely fixed that problem because people have complained about that since it released. And the size of it makes me think it'll be stronger and not snap

So now we have three Switches. OG one, the Lite, and the OLED. So for the OG and OLED, they didn't fix the joycon issues so you have to buy new controllers when they inevitably start drifting and for the Lite, you have to buy a whole new system. Good job Nintendo.

@Jules3324 @NintendoAmerica Gatekeeped out of software? Did that happen to the ps4 pro or Xbox one X? Not at all. Quit making up non existent problems

@SumG20194892 @HeyImCSL @InfernoOmni To add onto what the other reply said, the benefit of doing so is a more consistent, and usually higher, speed making for an overall better online experience. Downloads also typically go quicker, unless the console or Nintendo online service puts a cap on dl speeds

I hope the new Nintendo Switch model still has the Joycon drift issues.

@NintendoAmerica okay but did you fix joycon drift?

Nintendo's biggest crime so far is refusing to fix and improve the Joy-Cons.

@NintendoAmerica You could've release this as the revisioned Switch a few months ago, but you chose violence instead. Also, fixing the JoyCon issues should have been a priority for this release, because the "upgrades" don't justify the price bump if your console is useless without good sticks.

@TheMaractusMan @NintendoAmerica I'm not sure if you're playing on a switch we haven't been able to get our hands in but every switch I've been around and every game we've played on them have had crazy lag. It's a known problem. Where have you been all these years while people have been talking about it?

@billloguidice My old eyes could use the bigger/sharper screen, for sure. BUT... Nintendo won't sucker me in AGAIN, unless they can fix their COMPLETE CRAP JoyCon quality. They should be DRAGGED for that ****! MS/Sony would be, for less!

@improved_bore @Lewchube @The4thGenGamer I'd say Nintendo is good as a game dev, but they're very anti-consumer and anti-fan (if that's a thing people say). Like, Odyssey, Splatoon 2 (and probs 3), BoTW etc - all great games! But the ways they deal with many issues and with their fans can be literally the worst.

@Austinhillzz @SleevesAnarchy @NintendoAmerica lmao if nintendo "cared about money" they would keep consoles as cheap as possible to manufacture, nickel and dime you for ****** online service, lock in-game features behind in-store toys and... oh. wait. they already do this. Not everything is about being the most powerful.

@TacoSynth @IGN What I mean is that nintendo could be like taking it slowly and produces this things but like in big bundles and at least for me it will be no problem

@NintendoAmerica Fix your joycons or start charging less for them. Nobody wants to pay $70 for controllers that break after 6 months.

@JadeEpicP I'll wait until people get their hands on it but I feel $50 is justified. I don't think their marketing is misleading, the website is calling it Nintendo Switch (OLED model). I'm interested to see what games are having issues w/ and if that's hardware/port/optimization issues

What ******** is the point of the Ethernet port on the new switch when everyone who wanted one has gotten the Ethernet accessory on their switch already. Nintendo is focusing on the wrong thing. FIX YOUR DOGSHIT SERVERS, our connection isn’t the problem

Press: Hey Nintendo, tell us about the new 4K Switch Nintendo: We’re not working on a 4K Switch *(months later)* Nintendo: Here’s an upgraded Switch Press: But we thought it was going to support 4K??

@TheFromundaman the trailer didnt mention any change in joycons + joycon drift comes from poor production quality basically i believe joycon drift will be an issue as long as nintendo is the company producing them dont be afraid to purchase offbrands, theyre nicer than youd expect

@i_hate_life6969 @SamusHunter2 Nintendo never releases all their info at once they release it the closer it gets to release of the product. They at least gotta stabilize framerate since that was the originals biggest issue.

@schillingc @RetroGamer_Daz And it´s a good point. My tweet was thinking more about the endgame for Nintendo given the current status. They will have to face this issue at some point but this news version shows a lack of urgency on it.

@dynamilo @sephihello @NintendoAmerica bluetooth audio causes lag, which is completely fine for music n stuff but makes games unplayable, i tried bluetooth headphones with the ps vita (which strangely supports them) and i switched to wired after 30 seconds

@NintendoAmerica I think the main thing here is did you actually fix the joycon's this time
