Really, what's the point of the OLED Switch? It's literally just the Nintendo Switch with a bigger screen. No fix of the drift, no 4K, it's literally the same console.

the new nintendo switch being revealed as just an OLED version is the most boring reveal ever tbh 😓 like yeah improved graphics, audio, and storage is great, but give us at least SOME processing power improvements and fix joycon drift 😞

@facefa69 @nintendobenzo @NintendoAmerica 5 years after it was released and a trip to Korok Forest still got the game lagging. And that's for a major Nintendo IP. You think the 3rd party game would be better?

@Trashqueen_01 The thing with Nintendo is for years they have and probably never will invest into dedicated servers. Which is why their online service is cheaper compared to Play Station Plus or Xbox Live since they have dedicated servers for their online games.

@Number1AsukaFan @NintendoAmerica You just need to spend $50 more for a bigger OLED screen plus 32g more memory. There is no extra money else where. People can keep their original switch if they don’t like it. I don’t see any problem here.

@Keito0omine @Nintendeal Nintendo did say they are working to make Switch Online better, so maybe they’ll fix that issue when the new Dock releases.

@Stealth40k Nope. Still no acknowledgement from Nintendo about joycon drift being a real problem, and no mention of how they've stopped it (meaning they haven't). I'm not buying any more Nintendo hardware until they fix it.

@PixelGaming1234 @Des_bugg Too bad smash is still going to lag because nintendo pays 5 dollars a year for a server with 16 million people

@catpeetacos @catboy9653 @SYACVG "buying a lan adapter for the switch cost 30 bucks " thats just Nintendo creating a problem and fixing it "just for $50". imagine if PS5 had no lan port and Sony released a PS5+ that cost $50 more for a lan port? That shouldve come with the base price already

@mangetsu00 @corobonii @nintendolife The joy-con are fun designs, but Nintendo has no excuse for how widespread the drift issue is. A hardware refresh like this new model should have updated controllers at minimum.

@Yuriofwind If 2025 Nintendo don't release a console 3-4 times more powerful then a PS4 pro we going to have problems. It's obvious now we won't see Metroid Prime 4 or Bayonetta 3 till the next system comes out. Probably along with Breath of Wild remastered 1&2 and promises of a new Zelda.

@supgamer76 @dehrenikx @NintendoAmerica then blame developers. why some games runs at 60fps and some lag with 3 item in the screen (yeah Animal Crossing, I'm talking to you).

hardcore pokemon fans are the worst only because they never will be happy. i personally didn't have many issues with the original bdsp trailer, but everyone shat on it like nintendo is actively forcing them to buy what is clearly still a game in development.

@Leah_Briere Normally I'd be more understanding of things, but I'm extremely critical of Nintendo as a company. But egads, what is the world going to do about this terrible problem? It's going to come to the point where it'll be interfering not just with entertainment but with stuff we *need*

Time to go down the Nintendo Switch checklist: 🚫eShop QoL enhancements to make shopping better. 🚫Stable paid online service not running on Windows 2000 servers. 🚫Hardware improvements so games can attempt to run at a stable 30fps. 🚫Netflix. 🚫Themes. ✓ A bigger kickstand.

@PressStartKofi At least with ghost your getting a new mode, expansion island, new enemies, quests, ps5 specific upgrades, etc. Yet there are many giving Nintendo a pass. I would gladly pay for an upgrade so the price isnt a issue. However to pay for an Nintendo upgrade when there is none is....

@tudsworthington One tactic (that Nintendo has used in the past) is create a low supply problem that drives demand and pushes sales.

@Stealth40k are the joycon still wildly defective? Because if Nintendo is knowingly selling broken products still, we should all be criticizing them more

@bizarro_mike I’ve owned consoles for 30 ish years and outside of ketchup getting into my n64 controller and maybe the same for my pc/xbox 360 controller, the nintendo switch drift was the worst controller issue I’ve ever had. 🙃 It makes me extremely sad too.

Jacob, I guess
(@EggFaceHaha) reported
@NintendoAmerica I wasn't expecting 4K graphics, or any new model really, but when I saw this, I was hoping for at least a slight improvement to be able to keep 1080p60 on the games currently on switch. Also new controllers, I wanna use my joycons, but drift is too big of an issue

@Stealth40k Obviously people are complaining? This is lazy. There is no benefit of this for dock players besides an Ethernet which should already have been there. 2011 hardware inside of this and still didn’t fix it lmfao. Keep feeding the nintendo greed.
