The home button was unresponsive for me in docked mode actually.

Noticed this earlier.
Doesn't affect gameplay, so hardly see how you can call it borked though. A minor niggle, sure.

I had that issue too. Taking screenshots seemed to take longer than normal; I was playing in docked mode too. Aside from that though, the Switch port is fantastic and runs flawlessly.
yeah it's weird, when I push the home button there's like a 3 second delay before it actually goes home. only game I have that does this, with everything else it's instantaneous. kind of sucks because that's one of the best parts about the Switch and handheld mode. I'll be playing something and then when I have something else to do I just hit the home button and I'm out immediately.
still an amazing game, hopefully they patch these issues soon

I noticed this, but it doesn't really bother me too much. At the very least the Home button responds for me, it just takes a while or a few mashes of it.
I also had - and I consider this a bigger issue - an audio cut-out bug once, but finishing the Act and quitting to the main menu fixed it.

My enjoyment of this game is ruined.
Is this sarcasm? I really hope so. The game runs perfectly fine on Switch.

Many of us have played the game already and haven't seen any performance issues, so no surprise there.

No problem here...
The Nintendo PlayStation is finally a reality!

That's not technically in the game. The guide/manual is an online thing, but yeh they probably should have used a generic controller.

They're making a bigger deal out of this issue than they should be. It definitely needs to be patched (and I can't imagine it won't be soon) but it has zero affect on gameplay and is a minor inconvenience at most. Switch owners should not hesitate to buy one of the best games released this year.
Excellent!
Excellent!
CAPCOM leaves the Nintendo publishing info on the PS4 version of the Mega Man Collection 2. SEGA leaves a DualShock 4 on the Switch version of Sonic Mania.
Both Sony and Nintendo are going third party confirmed (?).

Isn't this the same issue that Minecraft suffered from?
Maybe it's from an old SDK? Regardless, I'm sure it will be fixed super soon, as was Minecraft.

I was worried for a second. It is an issue that needs to be looked at, but not one that effects the performance of the game itself.

Dunno about anyone else but if I bought a game and it occassionally made my capture, power, and home screen buttons unresponsive then I'd be quite concerned. I was going to get Sonic on Switch but will hold off til it's patched.
Same, didn't clock that it was game specific even though I personally haven't had any issues with my left joycon.
Headline got me a bit scared there was some major bug later in the game but this is fairly minor and will be patched I imagine so nbd.

That is pretty fucking weird. Been playing it docked and loving it, so glad it's not a super serious issue, at least.
"Slightly borked" makes it sound way worse than it actually is.
It's a little annoying sure, but it doesn't affect gameplay at all. The game runs super smooth and I've gotten to the fourth Zone with zero performance issues whatsoever.
I don't think anyone here is saying it's not an issue, but in the grand scheme of things it's pretty minor.

No its not sarcasm. The game is great, and the problem isn't very huge, but it's still an issue to work out. Also it gives me an excuse to wait a little. It's not like it's going to dissappear from the eshop.

Hardly what I'd call borked..they will obviously patch this anyway.
