In case you haven't noticed, the new Nintendo Switch OLED and even the original Switch have been in serious short supply through the holiday season, and many people have been looking for restocks of the Nintendo Switch OLED and where to buy the Nintendo Switch They are looking for.

Despite the somewhat lackluster update, with many hoping for a 4K Switch Pro, restocking of the Switch OLED remains very difficult, and Nintendo of America President Doug Bowser sees no improvement in the short term.

"I will say, semiconductor components are in short supply and the future is uncertain," Bowser told The Verge. 'There is no significant improvement that we are seeing. So I think the challenges will continue through 2022."

Bowser's advice?" If you see it this holiday season, I highly recommend buying it."

Some good news. The $50 annual Switch Online Expansion Pack, which adds Nintendo 64 games, is off to an extremely rocky start; many of the N64 games unlocked with the $15 upgrade have graphical glitches, audio delays, strange button mapping and other basic emulation errors.

The uncomfortable truth is that iffy ROMs and emulators play better than official, legitimate, Nintendo-approved solutions. However, Nintendo is aware of the criticism, and according to Doug Bowser, president of Nintendo of America, the company is trying to put things right.

"We take the feedback very seriously and continue to look at ways to improve overall performance. For us, it's about quality and great value content."

However, the issue has not dampened fan enthusiasm for the retro games themselves, with official N64 controllers out of stock until 2022.

Finally, Bowser was asked about the Joy-Con drift issue that has plagued the Nintendo Switch since its launch. Surprisingly, his answer was the same as in a recent "Ask the Developer" interview on Nintendo's official website.

"Over the first five and a half years of the Nintendo Switch, we have observed gameplay, observed how people have worn the unit when they returned it, and made continuous improvements to the Joy-Con overall, including the analog sticks," he explained.

It is not clear if "five and a half years" was a slip of the tongue or if Bowser was also referring to the development period, but the Switch actually turns five in March.

Nintendo recently stated that the Switch is in its "mid-stage," and even if the original is increasingly aging in the shadow of the Xbox Series X and PS5, a Switch 2 may not be on the horizon for some time yet.
