If Nintendo is dropping a new console next year, I'll be there as always. I just hope they fix A LOT of the issues I have with the Switch. It's probably my fault for not going to all those hip rooftop Switch parties.

@PS_Vortex Just buy a steam deck problem solved, i don't want sony wasting time and resources on something where's there's better options available, you see Nintendo stop doing 2 different platforms and just sticking to one.

If Nintendo actually brought its games to the Steam Deck or even did a service subscription then I think I would retire my Switch and buy a Steam Deck soon after

@NintendoAmerica Minecraft Switch Edition is only good for children who don't notice all of the glaring issues.

@karljobstgaming Don't worry, all these issues will be fixed in The Switch N64 Pro controller that costs 137$ and there will only be 19 of them manufactured. You can only buy them at The Nintendo Store Tokyo through a lottery, you get 1 ticket for every 50$ you spend at the store.

@bansama @iuntue NoA. They're the worse when it come to letting their localization team handle it. It basically Fire Emblem Fate all over again. I thought Nintendo fix this issue already with their localization team.

@JezCorden I feel that Sony and Microsoft don't understand what makes a great handheld game. Nintendo seems to. I feel that's the biggest problem. Also, how do you make and market an FPS so it's fun on a handheld to?

@EppyYT Except this last time. Rainmaker. I managed to accumulate 2 wins and 2 losses. You know what happened? Nintendo's amazing, well-programmed online service kicked in and disconnected me from the last round. That was 2 days ago and I haven't brought myself to play again since.

@AdomHamez Yeah, Nintendo has some real problems with updating their control schemes for the switch. Weird thing is they were great on the wii virtual console.

@ObligatoryFate @BoundingComics @NintendoAmerica It’s absolutely an issue when it takes away the romance between characters who are the exact same age. Also it doesn’t get rid of the discussion of minors because MINORS STILL KILL PEOPLE IN THIS WAR GAME.

That has nothing to say of the countless matches that ended from other disconnects right when a match began, or the hundreds of lobbies I get disconnected from trying to play with friends. Do better, @NintendoAmerica. The server issues with #Splatoon3 are ridiculous.

@StillSoursss @NintendoAmerica I personally experience zero problems on the switch version UNLESS i'm playing split screen then its very laggy (probably 15-20 fps at times)

@roxasthetohfan1 @CreeperDudeBro DKJr? Cement Factory? Dual Screen DK? Sigh... decisions, decisions. I am gonna go DK overall, but it is damn close to a 3-way tie for me. Picked up the Club Nintendo DK G&W cart a year or two ago for the closest I could get to my fix, short of shelling out again for the original

@FPSthetics I play 90% on console now. Just because of the convenience and rarer tech issues. And since I buy most games 2 years after release, I get them always at a discount similar to PC. And that is also why I don't play Nintendo games, since they never get cheap.

i REALLY wish there was a way to check your connection status in splatoon. if i'm lagging i WANT TO KNOW so i can stop playing. i hate how nintendo just treats everyone like a complete ******* idiot that shouldn't be aware of any technical info

@NintendoAmerica This shouldn't even be legal. Minecraft barely runs on Switch, and the developers have never tried to fix the performance. It was bad before 1.18, but after that it became almost unplayable. For those who are interested in this game, do yourself a favor and buy it for Windows.

@StillSoursss @NintendoAmerica It runs poorly but if you subscribed to realm,game runs 100times better if u are playing in realm server. the game itself without realm is a ****** port, optimization for the switch is very poor and if you are living somewhere that Microsoft doesn't like u need a VPN to sign In .
