Nintendo has more than enough actual confirmed issues to attack them on. Inventing issues on hardware components that do not exist is a mental gymnastics exercise that draws attention away from actual issues with their hardware.

Yeah.

There's actual things Nnintendo could do better, but this weird smear campaign I've been seeing is just... weird.

People are inventing issues with nonexistent hardware components, claiming the gamechat button noise when pressed says a slur, claiming the joycon2s have the same stick drift issue solely because they aren't hall effect sensors (despite nintendo outright stating they rebuilt the stick from the ground up for the joycon2, and the design nintendo is using for the new sticks being the same design literally every gaming company has been using for decades with no issues), claiming that switch 2 ports are going to be switch 1 carts with an upgrade code in them, etc etc.

Like.... guys, focus on real problems to get attention to them in hopes of them getting fixed, not just made up bs.

Seems Par for the course for Lemmy tbh, they tend to come up with all sorts of hyperbolic scenarios for these companies they hate. I've seen it with Microsoft too even though that is a company with a ton of valid things to complain about.

Maybe I poorly worded my response. I wasn't defending the other comment, as I haven't looked into the supposed rumble feature causing overheating for the Switch 2. I was just stating that I thought it odd to automatically give a company the benefit of doubt, especially a company like Nintendo.

And for the record, there have been reports with the joycon 1s having overheating issues that were resolved when users disconnected the rumble actuator from functioning. So, I guess, take that however way you want to.
