@MonkeyKingZobe Forza is close to 15million sold and at one point had over 20 million online. Halo infinite as a service game had up to 10 million. Either way not as good as Nintendo but it still surpasses any Sony exclusive over a 8 to 10 year span. Look how long it took for TLOUS to reach 10ml

@PlayHumbleGames @MoonscarsGame Good to see this transparency, I still want to buy it day one. Unfortunately, on the Nintendo switch eshop the game can’t be purchased yet, did you decide to delay the launch until the fix or will we be able to buy it today anyway ? I’m in France btw.

@NintendoAmerica the issue with re-selling games like these is people like me have played it and knoe the story, and given that its been out for quite a while, if people like these type of games they woulf have seen or played it before.

@your_dads_bully @ManMilk2 bro, all xcock has is power, bethesda, crash bandicoot, and halo. I'd much rather stick to Nintendo or go with Sony and actually have fun games.

MS already has more developers than PS & Nintendo & they're still making less exclusives games. That's because MS has a management issue that no amount of studios that they acquire will solve, it will just make the industry as a whole worse & limiting the option of gamers (3/3)

@CartridgeGames Agreed. I do miss the live action skits though. I suppose with Nintendo´s more overt focus on anti-customer practices, the Joy-Cons fiasco, NSO, the employment mistreatment allegations and the "Updates will fix it" model it is just another part of their identity stripped away.

@FortniteStatus any news on the Nintendo switch platform closing for an "unknown error"? Plus what's up.with the bounty boards at Fort Jonesy being underground? Glitch or hidden bunker? Been scouring the whole area trying to see if there is a way to get to them.

nintendo be like "why yall pirating😢" while essentially making pirating the only option to play their old games since they are no longer sold if nintendo sold emulator roms and offered good service, people wouldn't pirate them and nintendo would make more money win win

@Cosmostrology @aldo89006 @E3waitfor2020 Well both Sony and Nintendo, not to mention several other publishers have had consistent games coming out through covid. Yes there were some delays everywhere but since other studios weren't hit as hard it makes me think it's an Xbox problem not a covid one.

I was so excited when Potion Permit released on the Nintendo Switch and I absolutely love the game, it's NPCS and the concept but man these microlags, the cutszenes that break and sometimes aren't even skipable and the broken date-scenes have taken the happy out of me. *GRUMP*

I am loving Splatoon 3 but Nintendo needs to do something about these Disconnects and errors. Even people with hardwired connections are having that problem.

.@NintendoAmerica I am trying to give you $40 so if you could fix this, that would be neat for both of us, I think.

@2RLove_ @OrochinagiSaiko @GarciaINCIDENT The US has a big problem with *you can only like one thing and you have to pick a side*. FF is "fake SF". Sega was "fake Nintendo". Digimon was "fake Pokemon". For some people, it's like picking a sports team. The thing you like is good and everything else isn't.

@PownicMania5000 Nintendo fans take video games way too ******* seriously. It's just a ******* bing bing wahoo soccer game. If the free updates were PAID DLC then I'd DEFINITELY understand what the huge issue is, but the problem is that it's not. I'm not trying to defend the Free Update model.

I truly do wonder if all the bugs, online issues, and other issues w/ Splatoon 3's launch would be as accepted if it wasn't a Nintendo game.

@Lilitheos I play on my Nintendo PC. I don't really have an issue with the emulator running but it occasionally lags if I have other things open.
