The switch 2 actively using its newer hardware to enhance backwards compatibility and Nintendo taking great care to actually make sure everything works correctly is really nice and I hope becomes the standard. Ps5 gets close but so many games have bad issues that aren't fixed.

@dead_cell @EndymionYT I’m also guessing Nintendo still hasn’t fixed the drift problem on their controllers.

@8BitDo I've run into some issues syncing my Gamecube controller mod to the Nintendo Switch 2. Is there a firmware update for that?

Very dispiriting situation, all my excitement about the #Switch2 cratered because @NintendoAmerica, @BestBuy, and @BestBuySupport are unwilling to rectify my situation of a missing Mario Kart World digital game in my Switch 2 Bundle. They have thrown their metaphoric hands up and decided that it’s not their issue.

@Jordansdfg2 @CantEverDie I don't have an issue with it. I don't play modern Nintendo games (Switch 2, I assume), It doesn't affect me at all. But it is a ridiculous thing to do, and I do see why people would take issue with it. If nothing else it does pander to pronoun weirdos.

@SteelSupport just wanted to let y'all know that various Steelseries wireless headsets do not seem to be working with Nintendo Switch 2. I have a pair of Arctis Nova 4s and they are not working either.

@NintendoAmerica Still got 2 of these games physically. Lower the price of switch 2 if you want us to actually use this service.

The real story here is that hundreds or thousands of Switch 2 screens are going to be broken for non-stapler reasons. They will be stacked in piles in inventory, things will fall on them, the screens will crack. This could potentially be a huge misstep for Nintendo.

@Arin061907 @FANTASYLIFE_EN The problem is that I probably won't have the same enthusiasm as I would if I played on the Nintendo Switch in portable mode.

nintendo could put in a clause in the terms of service that miyamoto's allowed to take you as his concubine if you buy a switch 2 and the fans would say some **** like "well its their right!"

@Grumpmeister Glad to know im not the only person having this issue. I keep having to switch to my Xbox's HDMI cable and it works better than Nintendo's own for better or worse

@gamestop Is that really a stapler issue or a packaging issue from Nintendo?

Hey @NintendoAmerica why is my Switch 2 overheating on the dock? I was playing Mario Kart World and it just shut off. I pick the Switch 2 up and it feels like it’s been laying next to a fire. Is this a fan error in the dock? Please help. #Switch2 #Nintendo #MarioKartWorld

@AstraeLumen @NintendoUK I swear it’s just the Samsung ones having problems, I got a Samsung one and getting the same message that it’s not an express sd card. So annoying

@Kotaku And if it really was a Nintendo issue. All retailers would’ve had this isssue. It’s an internal issue at that specific GameStop considering other GameStops did not have that issue at all.

Looking at gameplay of Mario Kart World. Dude, unless you bought the bundle, I'm convinced you got ripped off. This is definitely going to be a live service game just like Mario Kart 8, where 5-10 years from now, if Nintendo still gives a ****, it will be the game you're promised

@casey_Payne23 @ItsNewYokio Not everyone can spend $500 on a Switch 2 with the Mario Kart bundle rn, plus whatever Nintendo's online service is to play multiplayer

Honestly feel like this is kind of on Nintendo. If I can brick your console through its packaging with one staple, that might be a "you" problem.

@JackaryDraws From what I understand, Nintendo said that their strategy to fight scalpers is to flood the market with so many consoles that there's never a shortage, so getting one shouldn't be a problem. :3
