@Avialence @ScottGandhi Please, fix the crashes using Fixer in Ps4 and Nintendo Switch, in Nintendo Switch we're not getting the 6v6 modes, and we can't use Fixer, cmon'.

@daviddoel @NintendoAmerica A max output of 1080 isn't a problem and the purpose is to sell out of these too.

@ayodigoyang @NintendoAmerica So what you're saying is that it's like the Switch, but slightly better with a chance of screen burn in being a problem.

@RogueCompany @KriimaarRC @ScottGandhi What if you fix the crashes using Fixer in Ps4 and Nintendo Switch? In Nintendo Switch we're not getting the 6v6 modes, and we can't use Fixer, cmon'.

Nintendo are also notorious for changing plans whenever they leak. So this worked out in favor for them. Their plans leaked, they wanted to change them to make the leakers look bad, they had chip shortages or chip issues, went "okay, but we have the screens."

@ParkerOrtolani Nintendo’s proven time and again that people will make games for their systems as long as they sell, and the Switch has no problem selling. Unlikely the OLED model will change that. Specs didn’t matter for the outdated GBA, DS, 3DS, or Wii either.

@DynamoSuperX They don’t :/ I feel like the reason for the pro was so that this issue would be fixed. The fact that Nintendo won’t be fixing it is such a shame and really frustrating.

Fans: Fix Joycon Drift Nintendo: Here is a better stand Fans: It needs more power for newer games Nintendo: Here is a OLED Display and more storage Fans: Give Us 4K Nintendo: Here is a bigger screen #NintendoSwitchOLED

@CherryPixelBun For me most of the time its like a genuine criticism and then nintendo fanboys piss and moan over **** for making it more of a problem than it should be. This happens every single time

@PancakeCrusader Is this some kinda weird backwards defense of Nintendo doing the bare minimum and ignoring hardware issues?

@PAMVLLO the problem with the switch oled is that people wanted to be able to play their games in at LEAST 1080p30 when docked, because 1080p resolution can literally be had at thrift stores now for 10 bucks. The Tegra can pull it off, but nintendo just wants top gimp the hardware.

Hot take Mike had while we discussed the OLED Switch- What if Nintendo wanted to make the increased performance that was rumored, but the silicone/chip shortage issues have caused them to wait for that part, but they didn’t want to wait since the rest of the parts were ready.

@IgnacioRojasB my main issue is everyone's acting like it's just nintendo pulling an apple to rake in money when it's really a necessary sidegrade because of technological supply shortages

@cranstonburry Whatever. Clearly not open to an actual conversation. I’m a huge Nintendo fan and this is a kick in the teeth for me. They won’t even fix ******* joy on drift and you’re still sat there acting like they can do no one. Open your eyes. If you’re not willing to, stop @-ing me.

@Alzero83 People have overclocked the switch even beyond what the toaster does already, so theoretically possible but probably would lead to much more probable overheating issues. I think Nintendo is just going to ride out the generation on these specs.

@DesertPogona Life's meaning is three full seconds of vocal lag and an invite system that barely works that Nintendo threw away instantly instead of fixing - Someone who used it on launch day to see what it was like

@NintendoAmerica What a pointless product. What’s clear from the current issues is that we need a model with upgraded hardware. Games running at 15-30fps is just not acceptable in 2021. We know your company has the dollar. Spend it on what your consumers really want.

@Huzaku420 @NintendoAmerica correct me if i’m wrong but aren’t burn ins also a common issue with LCD screens? If that’s true, then your point isn’t necessarily a strong argument into trying to prove how the XL is a downgrade given the durastic improvement in image quality seen in OLEDs

@peachjtoadstool Nintendo has been practicing ******* anti-consumer measures for the better part of 2 years now. The fact that you enable them to do so while most will agree that it's ******* ridiculous makes you part of the problem. You are not one to talk at all.

@hamlingj @NintendoAmerica Most Switch gamers bought the switch because of the games not the stats. The switch runs fine as is and I think this was the right move making a nicer switch without messing with the whole only available for this variant issues that inherently come with a big console upgrade.

@daveeeeeeeeeddd @NintendoAmerica Gaming systems haven't used oled since vita and the vita had a huge burn in problem thats why no one has used it since because it's a bad business move. They already got sued for the joycons being crap I can't imagine the suits from this lmao

Switch OLED is neat but my current one would have to catch fire or get stolen for me to buy it. I only play handheld on the can/vacation hah. I bet the visuals look amazing on it though, plus at least Nintendo listened with some of the small problems (no ethernet, crappy stand)
