@nitroki11er See about taking it up with Nintendo. Dunno if they themselves have done an update on the controllers since though I've also seen an article that they have denied it being a problem with the majority of switch owners

@bubblz_mr Sadly whether your right or wrong. It's been happening since the Nes and Sega Master system. I mean Sony literally crippled Nintendo and Sega hugely with big corporate 3rd party exclusive deals. It's just a part of trying to get a customer onto your service.

...Yes?
(@Zgants_) reported
@PlayStation So this is how you justify “Why would anybody play this???”, huh? Giving Nintendo competition for “snails pace of releasing retro games” & making the options awful or downright broken any way you can? Classy, Sony. Killing off your back catalog one generation at a time.

@AWonderfulSound @antdude92 I’m over 50 hours deep in Scarlet, please explain to me how any of these issue are acceptable from the most profitable game franchise EVER that just had the biggest weekend 1 release of any Nintendo game EVER. There is no excuse for this.

@TomLegend101 This seems to happening to a lot of people, Tom - I wonder if Nintendo are aware of this issue? 😮 I’ve got a bad feeling it will happen to more of my games in the future buddy 😌

@TheOrphanater @PlayStation I found that the nintendo joycons are the absolute worst. Nintendo should genuinely be ashamed of that product, they have had years to fix it and still haven’t

@porygonwave Reminds me of how when the nintendo badge arcade stopped getting updates i mourned the rabbit. I may have had problems at the time

@LimitedRunJosh @LimitedRunJames Gotta agree. Yeah, it runs worse than any Nintendo published game I’ve ever bought, but it doesn’t have any impact on the gameplay. It’s actually really good despite those issues.

Nintendo’s pretty generous with platinum. Going back to an 8 year old game to fix a typo nobody will ever notice just because the creator wants it feels pretty uncommon

@SportsN37118642 Thanks kindly for your input, I don’t think anyone knows how to fix it apart from Nintendo themselves. At least I’m not the only one suffering with this inconvenience 👍

Welp I think I have to send in my switch to have it fixed. Tried everything I’ve read online and none of it works. Worried that if I send it into a local repair shop and they can’t fix it Nintendo won’t fix it. Fingers crossed it won’t take too long

@ianwilgaus @JonathanWessner @Dubug03 Nintendo is Nintendo they have carved their own lane. Xbox and PlayStation are too similar. Problem for PS. Xbox is a superior platform, ecosystem, back end technology, hardware, value you name it. It can get to a point with Xbox having all these studios PS will seem pointless.

@dealer_sand @not_asian_asian @NintendoAmerica People really expect perfection in games nowadays yet there hasnt been a single game release since 2015 that hasn't had some type of glitch or minor flaw. Y'all really do exaggerate, the game works great and hiccups don't justify "broke"

@PlayerEssence @HMKilla I wish that was a good excuse for them but I find it hard to believe that they’re the only company that works with nintendo that can’t delay a game. I know it’s three companies that own it but surely at least 2 of them could see the glaring issues

@I_d_k_m_a_n_ My problem with his post is that most of the game that developed by Nintendo aren't broken nor unfinished, far from it. It works as you expected, despite the lack of content to keep the player base stable overtime after launch.

@arkclaimer I choose Nintendo Switch, mostly because my Nintendo wii is probably broken, it keeps ejecting the wii games that I put into it, and the Nintendo Switch works just fine

The games aren't unplayable as they are now but there are obviously SEVERAL issues that need a patch. What are you doing Nintendo Gamefreak??

@AGArilla @Pokemon There's not. Pokemon's contact us page is specifically dedicated for issues with their website. Nintendo's contact us page is dedicated for issues with online. They're not getting complaints cuz they haven't given us a way to complain to them. And they ignore socials.

@bromojumbo Honestly the thought and detail put into this game is incredible. IMO the only thing this game dropped the ball on is performance issues and that's more on Nintendo and their trash hardware.
