  there's a decent possibility of making it big in the handheld market, u've got like zero competition because nintendo's service ******* sucks. just make the console super pretty with a mainstream advertising/marketing strategy that doesn't predate ******* 2008

  honestly my one problem with the steam deck is that the weird falling-of-the-device thing the b button has means that you can't switch it to nintendo button layout 😔

  @RainbowSocksCat @MamaBearKingdom @AliothFox My main problem is I rarely use my switch undocked. I don't want my PC games on a mobile platform (I can see the value if you do) I want to play Nintendo games with my PC's hardware haha.

  @rixxion_gaming @NZXT I really don't agree, while I'm aware that I'm in the minority here I think that Nintendo shot for the moon there and missed by a country mile, especially when compared to the gameplay of something like Crash Bandicoot.

  @Jadenfire On this go of sending the game in to Nintendo we had a couple minor things to fix. We have fixed them and already sent the game back in for review. Hopefully we're getting good news soon.

  @Mlickles Honestly the library alone makes it seem like a problem to Nintendo. Being able to play new games portably and have them running well is huge. Only problem is the price cuz $400 for 64gb is kinda baaaaaad

  new steam handheld looks cool, my main issue with the switch was the fact that it’s Nintendo and majority of releases for it r kinda bad so, interested in seeing where this goes

  @MilfInspector @Gracosef @Steam its funny how personally offended nintendo fans are about this. Like you do realize competition will fix the lack of games on the switch??

  Anyone have experience transferring save data from switch to switch? Just tried the method that's "supposed to work" on the nintendo website through "transfer/receive save data" in system settings and of course not working. I'd rather not have to buy all dlc/unlock chars again.

  @ChefLuBu_ATL Nintendo somehow gets away with never, ever reducing the MSRP of their first party games. Breath of the Wild will still be $60 in five years. And yeah, I'm part of the problem for buying them.

  @JonComms I feel like Sony’s problem with being in the handheld space is that they don’t want to split their development focus or lower the performance target. Nintendo solved this by combining their efforts (performance be damned), while PC games already support many builds.

  @NintendoAmerica ok, but was the drift problem fixed, nintendo?

  @ik1tt3n @TheSwitchForce I think they were trying to avoid a lawsuit from Nintendo. Switch copycats have had problems from resembling the Joycons too heavily...

  The "Switch emulators on Steam Deck" thing is enough of an issue that I wonder if Nintendo is gonna try to crack down either on Valve or on the makers of Switch emulators.

  hope the steam deck does incredibly well so nintendo can stop dragging *** with all the switch's problems

  @plinkusdinkus Release issues or trying to pretend that joycon drift isn't a problem? Legitimate good criticisms of Nintendo "SPECS NOT AS GOOD AS CONSOLES WITH DIFFERENT MARKET"? Silly criticism

  @NintendoAmerica Fix the joycons first

  I’m thinking about preordering the Nintendo Switch OLED model. The problem is that I have only half an hour to make my decision. I’m honestly conflicted.

  @NintendoUK I asked you a question. There's a problem with my switch. The joy-con ISN'T connecting and I want to know why. The least you could do is respond.

  @OrdinaryGamers Plus emulation wouldn't even be a ******* problem if a Nintendo did a better goddamn job of making their older content available to purchase in an easier way

• 
  Pinks (@Pinkaminks) reported 43 minutes ago

  @docsquiddy @PatStaresAt The biggest issue its gonna face is finding a demographic, since the switch isnt selling because of the hardware, its for the games, and people buying it as just something for their kids to use know nintendo; they don't know steam.

  @TmarTn Can you see the problem with this machine vs the Nintendo? GPU in #Nintendo is #Nvidia... DLSS not too far off... and since it's harware based and not software, adding to that the OLED on the new one. It's going to be a hard sell

  José Irizarry (@xeropixel) reported 48 minutes ago

  @johntdrake The only consumer problem the Switch solves better than this is running first party Nintendo games. Granted... it's a big one. But how does this make Nintendo's $350 "upgrade" when for $400 you get a decent gaming computer & your Steam Account (+GamePass) on the go.

  @SolidNopeRope Yeah well I still love Nintendo. They just do a lot of **** that pisses me off. The joy cons are garbage and nearly always start drifting after a few months. Their online service is underwhelming. And the tech within the Switch is very poor and Steam Deck just seems to offer more

• 
  Cody Fitch (@AdrellaDev) reported 51 minutes ago

  @psychicparrot We got a second Switch for Christmas last year and I thought with all the problems, Nintendo might have made them better (ignoring Nintendo's track record for these things) but nope. Already drifting after 6 months.

  @linosonlyfans I'm just so annoyed, because Nintendo didn't fix the joycon issue and apparently the new switch will have the same joycons D:
