    @sthetixofficial Updated to the newest Version with no problems. Before updating I tried to launch OFW which failed (I never use it), then launched Semi-Stock and updated online through Nintendo Servers. Got the new HATS-Pack, SYSmmc was already on newest Version, only had to update Emummc Thanks

    @SteelSupport My Arctis Nova 7P doesn't show up as a sound output device on my Nintendo Switch 2. The system sees the headset as a USB microphone, though. I can't find anything about this issue. Are there plans to resolve it with a firmware update?

    @Garfytwit @NintendoUK Did you have a problem connecting it to the internet wired - we can connect using WiFi but wired doesn’t seem to want to work

    @TheHylian64 I really do hope they fix this with an update. I'm not optimistic because it's Nintendo, but hey, we finally got a favorites feature on Echoes of Wisdom after they pushed back against all the menu complaints for so long. So I guess it's not impossible :3

    @Chris_Dring I fully expect them to launch a streaming only service or subscription for TVs and stuff in the future if adoption starts gaining traction. But they will do everything to ensure that 30% is still very lucrative on their own platform and not give it others. Nintendo will be well..

    @NextGenPlayer There was a world parts shortage in 2020 thanks to the COVID pandemic. Because of this, both Sony and Xbox struggled to produce enough units to meet demand. That is no longer an issue in 2025, Nintendo has access to it's parts. So I feel like this is an unfair comparison.

    @SomeKirbyFan and it will launch with thousands more games than the switch 2 with 0 fee to pay for ****** online service. 50 dollars a year for limited emulation vs emulating every nintendo game ever minus the one 90$ mario kart game lol

    @charlieINTEL @ethangach That’s the issue facing Microsoft is the cost issue for handhelds with x86 cpus, that at lower power burgers are not as efficient as ARM. To put console games on arm, the whole code needs to be compiled for arm from x86. Nintendo has been the biggest pioneer of ARM gaming.

    @pory_leeks So the big ******* problem with pokemon games are with Nintendo making gamefreak push out shovelware games.

    @Zodyrus @pory_leeks The problem is Nintendo. One showcases what Game Freak is capable of. The other shows that happens when they're forced to churn one out every 1-2 years. Simple.

    @Texalogic @MightyKeef The problem is you still need the Playstation connected (& I think on or running?) & you need a GOOD internet connection or it sucks ***. Also the difference between Sony & Nintendo is the Switch IS the console itself. You can't just buy a Portal without a PS5, like a Wii U.

    $80 will work on Nintendo fans and 1st party Nintendo games, but the rest of the industry is going to find out. Fast track to AAA game market crash, esp if they keep virtue signaling in games, offering stale content, and lots of bugs.

    incredibly pathetic QC of nintendo for having battery issues this early ...

    @Sadcat42069 @ModernVintageG Because Nintendo first party games are very polished, high quality, no day 1 patch games. Nintendo launched a new console with a new multiplayer game and it worked. How many new online games have server issues the first couple of days?
