Nintendo Controversies - Did You Know Gaming? Ft. Greg

[@rodrigomarcondes5857]

i'm so glad they're getting sued over the joy cons. I love Nintendo games, but the way they've handled this problem is so unbelievably scummy, they deserve every ounce of criticism they're getting. I wonder how Iwata would've adressed this

@@voltkid5193 yeah i think he would have fixed it similarly like how they fixd the wii mote issue by making the big jacket. im surprised they didnt mass recall the controllers and just replace them or something of that nature at this point cause the joycons problem is a complete joke. i prob would have bought a switch lite if it didnt have those two pieces of garbage stuck to it to...

This is a problem because they're being sued for planned obsolescence, implying that they knew before they sold them that Joy-Cons had a faulty design, and chose to sell them with the intent to make customers buy more of them. The more likely scenario is they just didn't find the issue in testing because the sticks have varying levels of vulnerability to the issue, and the ones they tested probably lasted and worked just fine.

Yea... BMI is a massively flawed system. By BMI measurements, incredibly fit body-builders get commonly classified as "morbidly obese" purely because of the lack of accounting for muscle mass (which weighs more than fat). It really isn't a system that should be used even as a guide anymore, since we now have the ability to measure muscle mass with a decent degree of accuracy on relatively affordable consumer-grade scales.

[@Daralantan]

I always thought it was funny people got so offended over this and wanted to sue Nintendo. "Here is your BMI: ### Obese" Customer: "NINTENDO CALLED ME A FUCKING WORTHLESS FAT ASS I'M NOT FAT!!!!!!!!" It is funny for anyone that does weight lifting though. A while back I decided to just work hard on weight loss. I got down to 7% bodyfat and was still "overweight," per BMI. It's a silly thing..... Though I feel like most adults that are "obese" probably do need to be careful, as the bigger more muscular people are not really the norm. Still found it hilarious people were so horribly offended by Nintendo literally just giving them a BMI chart though.

[@szeltovivarsydroxan9944]

Yup, I'm 180 cm tall, and just half a year ago my weight was under 80 kg. Which means normal weight. Then I started working out again, and gained over 5 kg of muscle mass. Now I'm considered 'overweight' by BMI standards. It makes no sense.

[@Daralantan]

@the hevy to be fair most people in America that are "obese" probably aren't muscular and probably could indeed stand to lose 10-15lbs. BMI is a not great system though.

[@korokonas]

To add to the Wii Fit BMI issue, in medical school BMI isn't even taught anymore. It's roughly gone over and the calculation is briefly explained, but it's being phased out of practice.

Only the last one was a genuine controversy. The rest were just people having their feelings hurt

[@the-NightStar]

Joy-Con Drift is a lame issue that isn't a big deal in the slightest. Literally everything else in this was a bigger deal than that crap.

[@toooydoeur]

@@the-NightStar except you're literally wrong

[@ObnoxiousFeline]

@@the-NightStar The world can go on without any of the complaints on this list. The last one people pay money for, it's the only option, and get screwed over. Want a same sex relationship in a game? Go play Fire Emblem or the Sims. Don't like that a fitness game called you fat? Go get one that doesn't require a scale to stand on. There are other options to the complaints on this list, Joycon drift you don't have a choice in the matter considering Nintendo still hasn't fixed it. The only "other option" I can think of is maybe get a Pro Controller like my fiancé did in order to circumvent most issues. Other than that, you're screwed.

[@BalooDumptruck]

@@ObnoxiousFeline fire emblem and the sims sucks, find better examples

[@ObnoxiousFeline]

@@BalooDumptruck You think they're worse than Tomodachi life? At least they both have more content. Don't get me wrong I like Tomodachi Life, but there's not much to do after awhile. At least Fire Emblem has different stories and colorful characters while the Sims is basically endless.

[@RuggedTheDragon]

Before watching the video, I could tell you the first thing that Nintendo did wrong was deciding to betray Sony and go with Phillips.

[@Dracomut]

A good reminder that even a company like Nintendo makes dumb mistakes that need to be called out. As well as a good reminder that people got overly angry over nothing and overreacted to Nintendo back then too.

[@the-NightStar]

Don't sit here and give them a pass for the actual harmful things they've done. They certainly mattered a lot more than something stupid like whining about Joy-Con drift like it's even a big deal.

[@Shadeprint]

What's kinda crazy is you can also get Gamepad drift on the Wii U Controller, I'm guessing Wii U's just didn't get played enough for enough people to notice XD

[@sparkydoodle696]

Isn’t saying you’re “solidly built” like Cartman saying he’s “big boned”?

[@brunomoreno3666]

Yeah, she was probably fat

[@OtakuUnitedStudio]

No. "Solidly built" specifically means muscular. Muscle, especially when flexed, feels hard while fatty areas feel soft.

[@sparkydoodle696]

@@OtakuUnitedStudio then he should’ve just said “muscular” saying “solidly built” sounds more like trying to call someone fats without saying it

[@yserareborn]

No, really no. "Solidly built" could be a euphemism for body building or athletic. Also, if you watched the video you'd see how very muscular people can show up as "obese" on a BMI. The BMI system is not well suited to gauge the health of very athletic or muscular people. And for the record, even if we were to take BMI's as gospel, the fucking Wii hardware is not well suited to give an accurate reading of someone's BMI.

[@raymonrackley1128]

@@yserareborn it is basically impossible for an 8 year old girl to be “solidly built” as her body isn’t equipped to build muscle yet

The joycon failure is seriously the biggest reason I cant advice anyone to buy a switch. I've bought several joycons and all of them have started to drift within weeks. And they are SO expensive. Really feels like a scam. Not even the new releases are fixed. At best they make every game extremely frustrating to play (cant remember how many times the joycon walked me right off a cliff) and at worst totally unplayable. My cheap 3rd party controller works perfectly tho now what 6 months later? So embarrassing for Nintendo.

[@TheLegoMaster261]

You weren’t able to negatively affect Switch sales because it’s still selling extremely well to this day.

[@keyoteamendelbar8742]

I had problems with joy-con drift, I believe I called the company at least 3 times before they said that they would fix the joy-cons for free. Very sloppy, considering I have been using a "new" 3DS for years with no issues and the story of an original Game Boy that went through a bombing attack and still worked.

odds are the kid was fat. parents don't call their kid "solidly built" especially when they're a 10 year old girl, unless the kid is fat and the parents are trying to coddle them and not embarrass them. also the daily mail is half way between tabloid and half assed newspaper

[@OrangeLuigi]

I still don't understand why they thought putting random plastic on the Joy-Cons was a good idea. All it did was cause problems to the point where they were filed for a lawsuit

[@Blast335pokemineblox]

I don't think there was anything as malicious as planned obsolescence with the joy-con; if that french suit can get Nintendo to make a version of joy-con immune to drifting that'd be great

[@diarykeeper]

tbh, the joycons are replacable.. so that is an option. Also you can increase the joycons deadzone via a pc program to reduce drift...

[@Whofan06]

I think Nintendo hopes that too lol. If its a problem people are constantly complaining about and they have tp send out all these free joy cons or spend time and money repairing them, its in their interest to fix the issue. The fact that they havent tells me its not as simple as wed all like it to be.

[@the-NightStar]

Joy-Con Drift isn't a real issue and it's hardly even a big deal.

I don't think the drift is planned obsolescence. But they got to get Nintendo on something for them to do the right thing.

Over what? Every so rarely often, something might ever so slightly BARELY move a few tiny pixels to the side accidentally? OOH. Get out the torches and pitchforkes. This is the stuff that REALLY matters in life.

[@blacksunshine7485]

Nintendo really need to admit fault when they're wrong. For so long they've gone after members of the gaming community for exploiting their IPs etc so by their moral compass dont we deserve the same courtesy back by admitting they fucked up with the joy cons? At least reduce the price! Bogus
