    Are you like fucking kidding me…? It’s been less than a month and there’s QA issues

      There’s always a percentage of devices that will show defects, especially the launch wave. QA can never get 100% of units passed.

      Does anyone remember the PS5 issues with the disc drive, rest mode, coil whine etc during launch?

      Now it this turns into a pattern / widespread issue I’m ready to jump on the bandwagon, but this is not out of the ordinary.

        Exactly. We’re hearing about the edge cases so far, which there will ALWAYS be some for any product.

        Not defending Nintendo here. I’d love to be playing the new Mario Kart, but not at those prices.

      That’s why you never pre-order. Never. Still never.

      Even with the vast majority of people having no issues, with millions sold, that’s still a good number of people just got a bad one. The article only reports two instances.

      It’s not really too unusual for a launch as big as this to have some bad units slip through QA. If it’s a handful of people, I’d even say that’s pretty impressive. This starts to effect a large enough percentage and then you’ve got something worth getting upset about.

        Yeah this is like making out a monitor having a dead pixel is some huge scandal and discredit to that company.

    I wish portable devices went back to being made with tooless battery swapping in mind like the old game boys.

      I think I would be more okay with having to undo a screw or two as long as it was still just as easy to get the battery out. The way the Advance SP and DSs handled it. Lithium batteries are slightly more unfriendly to being handled than AAs and this is a device aimed at children. Your point stands though.

        I think the New 3DS had the best implementation. The swappable backplate were cool and provided easy but child safe access to the batteries behind 2 normal Phillips screws.

    Hmm cause… It could be the battery. Or maybe the battery is fucked. If that’s not the case they could probably have a look at the battery and see if it failed.

      It’s their way of saying they try to blame the customer first.

    Nintendo: “Well, it’s obviously not our rushed production schedule or choosing to use cheaper parts… I wonder what it could be.”

    Why did someone buy their shit?

    source
    • MyDarkestTimeline01@lemmynsfw.com ⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago

      Because Nintendo jealously guards even the ideas that their IPs create. You just saw them go to the courts to make their patents be a little more vague just so they could try to take down Palworld. And they know that as long as they can corner the market on those specific experiences you’ll have to come back to them in order to get it. It’s very much like a drug dealer getting rid of other drug dealers that might come into their neighborhood so that the only drug is their drug and the only place to get it is through them.

        You could just emulate on a steam deck while having a bazillion other games available
