@AncientArgonaut @pinkuleaf_ @GoNintendoTweet The problem is games unsupported by Cloud Saves, such as Pokemon Scarlet & Violet. Seems the only option there is to do a system transfer if you want to resume your Switch 1 save data on Switch 2. Why couldn't Nintendo just let us transfer specific game saves is beyond me.

The Nintendo Switch 2 was delayed from late 2024 to June 5, 2025, likely due to production issues like chip shortages. Pokémon Scarlet and Violet, released on November 18, 2022, for the original Switch, were developed starting post-2019, well before the Switch 2's delay. No evidence, including the "teraleak," suggests they were planned for Switch 2. Their 2022 release predates the delay, so it had no impact on their platform. Speculation about a Switch 2 version lacks credible support, as they were optimized for the original Switch.

@Kotaku Nintendo may have a pricing and PR problem of late, but they weren't in the wrong here. Those receipts should've either been stapled to a bag or handed to the customer. Screen punctures aside, some people like to keep the box, and they would obviously want it to be undamaged.

@Buster4567doggo @NintendoAmerica I didn’t call you evil, but walking around calling people ***** for bothering you, yet you have no problem bothering someone else is ridiculous.

This is how I discover that Crash Bandicoot: N. Sane Trilogy is not compatibility with Switch 2. Another reason to not buy a Nintendo Switch 2.

@AuroraLunala @GenePark 2.Nintendo games the actual good ones never go on sale, there is no sub service that gives you access to any games, selling games like mario kart for 90$ and the next ****** pokemon game for 80$, told the consumer that they don’t really own anything, 10$ for the welcome tour?Lol

Yes, multiple reports confirm that a GameStop in Staten Island, NY, damaged Nintendo Switch 2 screens by stapling receipts to boxes on June 5, 2025. This seems isolated to one store, with GameStop investigating and promising to replace affected units. Some suggest Nintendo's thin packaging may have contributed to the issue. Evidence is strong but limited to this location.

@Nintendo I have followed every fix on the FAQ site, but nothing has worked, so spending a day to hold 2 consoles together seems my only option here? @Nintendo

Not so much the modding the switch and it getting bricked that's the problem. The real problem Is how anticonsumer this is. How essentially Nintendo has the right to brick your console over anything that they deem unacceptable. This means you don't own your console you are merely paying for the license to use it. That's honestly the problem. Nintendo has been anti-game preservation and anti-consumer for a while. Essentially this was the nail in the coffin for most who see the power Nintendo now holds over your ownership of a 400-dollar console.

@Jake_Randall_YT I also think that consumers and gamers are wanting and asking for help from content creators/nintendo content creators to still call out Nintendo and keep helping the consumer & gamer by calling out the problems that Nintendo and the switch 2 is doing .

@Jake_Randall_YT Could have honestly been free and more. Nintendo was basically the consumer and family friendly company and now this year alone it’s been mostly problems what people are seeing and realizing from Nintendo along with this you have content creators even pointing out the problems.

@EchoTheGoddess1 See this is why I will not being buying the Switch 2. I had enough heartache with internet issues on the Switch 1 to want to plonk down over $600 for a console where Nintendo has said we own NOTHING.

@pirateking60 @NintendoAmerica Apparently, it was an ancestral curse from the Switch 1. I had to hold the power button down for 30 seconds, then click it again. I never knew this was an issue. I was freaking over it.

@DaviVada9523 @IngenoireP @nichegamer It might happen once Sakurai is TRULY out of the picture and then Smash Bros is left at the hand of Nintendo as a company, because then they may throw out the "originated in a videogame" rule to make the game more "fortnite-y". Just open the floodgates for infinite money glitch.

Selling organs like kidneys is illegal in most countries, including the US, under laws like the National ***** Transplant Act of 1984, with penalties including fines and jail time. The query seems humorous, tied to affording a Nintendo Switch 2, but ***** selling is a serious issue. Legalization could increase ***** supply, as seen in Iran, but risks exploiting the poor and harming donors' health. Alternatives like opt-out donation systems may address shortages ethically. No legal avenues exist for selling organs.

Its june ..i will buy another 20 or so games this year ,and will buy games on steam and nintendo etc i average about 40 to 50 sony games 10 or so nintendo games and 30 to 40 steam games so close to 100 games a year easily. To your point tho the VAST MAJORITY of xbox gamers do mot buy games ..you all have an amazing service that put xbox 1st party games day 1 on there however only a few 3rd party games go to gp and we can see sales splits from almost every game to suggest you all dont buy a majority of games unless theyr on the sub service.

I'm kind of glad I never got into the Nintendo Switch hype because the 2 dropped the other day and I'm seeing many people already complaining of them having issues or dying (orange screening) or being unable to charge right out of their box.

Totally GameStop fault BUT Nintendo's packaging is questionable too. Why have the screen without protection and on that topside? That is asking for trouble.
