I can’t wait for the Nintendo Switch Pro to become real but then nobody is able to get it because of supply chain issues.

@ancient_catbus The thing that frustrates me is that it's just super super cheap of Nintendo. For a cost of maybe 10-20 cents more per joycon pair, they could have largely avoided the issue. Cheap!

@OyanTaslim @PlayerEssence Yeah yeah but Nintendo fans shouldn’t be talking as that **** is widespread compared to valves and it’s easier to fix. Only been a few steam decks especially if it’s a launch one

@DigitalGal_ I wish I had a favorite, either board game or video game in which I had both, but I probably spent 80% of the time outside playing sports, riding bikes, getting into trouble. But maybe my Atari and Nintendo (1st gen) games, any game.

@JavaidUsama @Wario64 Nintendo has a full joycon and system repair service where they fix your joycons or system for free, and if they can’t fix them, they send you a new one. I’ve gotten a whole *** new system and joycons from them.

@TheVioletNexus @TAHK0 @Mr_Casino1 That’s fair enough for me. Honestly, I put most of the blame on Nintendo. GameFreak should be free to make decisions on their own. But it’s still very much an issue that they can’t make finished games. I’m sure they hate it as well.

@P1kaTyler I hate it because there's plenty of things they could have done to fix that. For one more unlockable costumes that aren't tied to the ranked mode, achievements (there's barely any in the game), a real ranked mode, etc. I wish nintendo would properly support more of their games

@PlayerEssence Didn't literally e dry new gen controller have these issues but only Nintendo got any bad press for it?

(@paulryan220) reported
@TAHK0 Do I think GameFreak gets a little too much hate? Yes. But these games absolutely do not live up the standard set by other Nintendo games. There is no reason GameFreak should be releasing games in these conditions. If time is the issue, then these games need more time.

StreamDeck drifting issues? Ok, imma need to see all the videos destroying Valve for this lol Remember, Nintendo purposely made the joy cons drift according to the internet. Also... Switch 2 leak? Interesting 🤔

@AboutNintendo The steam deck hasn't been out for even a week, the reason nintendo was anti consumer about it is because they didn't fix it and actively ignored the issue, if it becomes really bad with the steam deck, (which is unlikely because of the massive difference in the two joysticks)1/?

@dcominottim Hmm yeah but I don't think things are as bad as they are on PC, because Microsoft/Sony/Nintendo have some very strict performance/quality requirements for the games sold on their stores, so it's much harder to ship a broken console game than a broken PC one.

@NorthWestClass @RebelliousTreek @Pokemon n this is not to say i'm a nintendo defender. pla had a lot of issues with graphics and rendering that really bogged down the gameplay for me. but the stuff in these trailers seem pretty far for the course. it's bright and whimsical and similar to other stuff on the switch.

@FutTheWuckEver @DoctorIronic Its inevitable that when a new product is launched some of them are going to be deffective, the real problem is going to be how the company respond the problem, for example Nintendo denied drifts and screens with less than 3 dead pixels. Lets see how Valve respond to this

@MaibergerAustin @Wario64 They deadass said they'll fix it for you or send you a new one tho man. Nintendo won't even remotely do something close to that

@OhNoItsAlexx @MochalatteTV 2/2: Plus buy new one while you wait if you want to keep gaming. Or just buy new ones. Either way a new device weather nintendo or some other company shouldn't have this problem less then 6 months in.

@PlayerEssence Steam Deck drift is not a widespread issue. At least for now. Joy Con drift is a widespread issue that has been around for at least three years and has yet to be fixed by Nintendo themselves. Plus the system just came out. We might get a calibration menu update that fixes it.

I am going to make an EP called Switch 2 and it is just going to be 12 minutes of me complaining that @NintendoAmerica still has done nothing to fix the framerate in Hyrule Warriors 2.

it’s like capcom watched nintendo completely **** in their fanbase’s mouth and decided they could instead take a small polite piss on their fanbase with no issue

@Persius18 @Link_SSZ @ModernVintageG It's a demand issue more than a shortage, but yes nintendo will still make new models. Especially when the current tegra manufacturing process is a pain to use due to how old it is. Moving to samsung 8nm will give them a lot of space since it seems like no one will be using it
-
You Mad??🇳🇬🇳🇬🙌🏾🤷🏾♂️
(@Persius18) reported
@Link_SSZ @ModernVintageG With the chip shortage and Nintendo having supply issues with the current switch because of said chip shortage, you expect them to create new consoles with chips they don’t have??

@JamesJimothyIII @PlayerEssence Honestly man, the deck has been out to the public around 24 hours and he’s already jumping on it like it’s a W for Nintendo… considering it’s literally this new, it’s pretty common for day 1 products to have manufacturing errors and issues out of the box, just like the PS5

I sent my 3ds in for repairs to nintendo but apparently they can’t fix the original console so they have to replace it with a different one. Guess I’m getting a Pikachu Yellow 3DS :( not poggers bro i put so many stickers on my og console :((

@Newmarkomaro Di the Nintendo switch had scalping problems at first launch. If so, how long did it last?

@SerialK86 I'm honestly not really concerned even if this is true because I trust Valve way more than Nintendo at this point, I would be shocked if they didn't look into and fix the issue.

I DON'T want a Switch pro. I want Nintendo to fix the issues with the regular one. I don't have money for another Switch 😭

I sent in my Switch to Nintendo because it wasn't turning on. They just received it and hopefully they can fix it and keep my data.

@PraxicWarlock @LjinkKidd @Wario64 Nintendo doesn't honour it outside of America either, even when acknowledging it as the same problem.

i dont know what is worse, nintendo fans knowing joycons suck and just ignoring the defect they should get sued for or valve fans yelling at anyone that had a problem with anything with the steam deck
