  @TheSmithPlays Bc Nintendo’s business model is making it as difficult as possible to play any of their legacy games until they find the best way to drip feed the games to their customers through a monthly subscription service.

  @GameSpot You can fix drifts via update? Why doesn't Nintendo/Sony do this with their drifting controllers?

  @BioticGod11 @I_DO_JUEGOS @vicious696 Yeah,my point is MS, Sony or Nintendo aren’t any better, MS started eating up publisher lift and right and acting like they are the “good guy”even though they are monopolising the gaming industry and gradually removing the ownership with their subscription service and DRM1/2.

  Apparently the Steam Deck stick drift is from a dead zone issue that valve fixed in a system update? Man I wish Nintendo actually ******* fixed their dogshit controllers

  @nichegamer Valve fixed in a day that Nintendo never was able to fix.

  I wonder why stick drift is a thing on switch and Nintendo has known about it for a long time and it’s still a problem?

  @angelurine @JavaidUsama @Wario64 IMO most companies would quietly fix the issue with a hardware update, and anyone who bought a joy con prior to that would be screwed. If Nintendo is willing to give me a lifetime warranty on my joy con, I'm not going to complain.

  @RapidPilot2 @carygolomb “Piracy” when Nintendo is shutting down Nintendo Virtual service

  @FlangerOfTowels @CHIEFTOMMEH @ModernVintageG I think that blaming everyone with drift for causing their controllers to drift is not the best take. There's a lot of evidence showing that Nintendo's joycons were originally prone to drift, and they eventually took countermeasures to fix it (padding behind the joystick.) 1/?

  nintendo fanboys calling the steam deck a failure because of an issue that literally got fixed in under 12 hours is so hilarious to me idk why

  @GifZelda It seems it's already fixed. Idk what will happen in the future but Valve gives me more confidence when it comes to solve this kind of problems than Nintendo. Nintendo is just too busy counting money to listen to consumer complaints

  @RoseSilicon As if Nintendo would've fixed the joycons by holiday 2017. I doubt they even recognized it was an issue in development.

  @peehole4 @Xploshi Wait Nintendo tried to fix the problem, could’ve fooled me

  @RavenSoftware when are you gonna fix ps5 issues causing the game looking like its got Nintendo 64 graphics? And not being able to see my guns reticle?

  Austin (@AustinHeroes1) reported 37 minutes ago

  I just had an amazing idea if Nintendo were adding dlc characters with the tracks for the booster pass they should add two characters from Sega like sonic and tails or sonic and Amy or since crash bandicoot had Spyro in his racing game if not a good idea then at least add zelda

  @jake_crusty @lulucinnabon Oh wow, nice!! I tried asking Nintendo Customer support for mine, all they've done is ask me to identify myself in an annoying way, only to not know what the issue was and then tell me they have to "send it off for further investigation". It's been over a week, haven't heard back

  @waitmanb @NintendoUK Using HDMI? Disconnect the cables, turn the Switch on (in console mode), reverse the cable connect to TV first, then the dock. Still not working? Go into Switch Settings, TV settings, change the resolution. Hope it helps...

  If Steam effortlessly fixed the Switch drift issue in like a day, why can't Nintendo just... add the option of adjusting the deadzone so you can minimize the drift on Switch..? Its been five years Nintendo come ******** on.

  @GAMER1984dude @PkmnMstr_R3 @SpawnWaveMedia Lol you are so mad, why? It’s impossible to think Nintendo is not working on the next console and I kindly and logically refuted what you initially said.

  That One Guy... (@LliwDroffats) reported 53 minutes ago

  @ShadowFoxArche @LouieVuittonDon @PlayerEssence Funny thing is if Nintendo sent people joy con parts and directions and told them “fix it yourself” these same people would have 100% said it was “anti-consumers” or something. Seen nothing but people moving goal posts on this thread.

  @Xploshi Atleast they can actually fix it unlike Nintendo

  I think the biggest issue is obviously opinion pieces like these will always aged terribly considering how unpredictable of an industry the gaming's industry is, especially Nintendo. It's always a coin toss if they're screw up immensely or have tremendous success.

  @golden_dragon98 Nintendo ban you just because of a connection error ?

  @Swat9ver_die But shouldn't we as consumers want better? If they know they don't have to do better, then they won't. That's the problem I have with Nintendo. I should be able to expect a bigger, better, and more powerful BOTW.

  @GifZelda Well steam fixed the issue with drift already (it was a software issue and they sent an update out to fix it) so they’re pretty dissimilar from nintendo lol

  @zackVIII @carygolomb If nintendo keeps doing what theyre doing it probably wouldn't be worth the trouble

  I just feel like listing off the plethora of Nintendo IP that I love from the GameCube that are effectively dead. - Chibi Robo - Metal Arms: Glitch in the System - F-Zero - Billy Hatcher - Geist - Custom Robo Mario Strikers would've been on this list, so maybe there's hope!

  @lucaxeH @cdc316 @Brayyy_WoW oh, i heard of that glitch, i didn't know it was that powerful you really shouldn't have gotten banned for that then, that's on nintendo for not patching it out
