Issues with BW won't be alleviated by giving the resources to the company that made BDSP and telling them "cool, finish this in five months or whatever we do at Nintendo because we hate our developers". Putting the ideas of BW into a "new" game will at least be refreshing.

@GeekyBowtie Fair, but games costing more just because of the system it's on has usually been more of a "games made by/from companies close to nintendo" issue

@yggdrasilsaltar @slurmpass No, I mean almost 2 console generations ago. If you didn't know, the industry is on console generation 9. Nintendo is just lagging behind as usual.

@Master0fHyrule The release year for BotW 2 said 2022. So that’s false. Unless it gets delayed, in which case WE ARE GOING TO HAVE PROBLEMS NINTENDO.

swsh were bad because they did not have the time. legends arceus is good because they had that time. these issues are not just the result of people being picky and are a direct result of these devs not being given enough time because nintendo wants games out constantly

Thanks @NintendoAmerica and @LEGO_Group for ONLY having the build instructions for the Mario sets on your app that crashes ever 3 screens. One crash even required a full phone reboot before the app would load again. Tough to keep young boys interested with that happening

@Master0fHyrule Yeah and I had problems with Nintendo after that.

@alsoabouteve @NintendoAmerica Ah OK I mean true, there are still issues but at least it's not BDSP :P

@SkylabGames @Games4Snacks @LimitedRunGames There was evidently a patch that supposedly removed the Nintendo account requirement, but that’s essentially irrelevant. Technically there is no way to fix the DRM issue, because patches require the online servers to download them, thus reinforcing the online requirement.

sorry for the long thread it's just exhausting to see ppl continuously excuse nintendo pushing out awful games + putting their devs into crunch so often . you're LETTING them do this by ignoring the issues

Pokémon Unite is so good but one thing I hate about Nintendo apps on my phone is that they ALWAYS crash in the middle of gameplay which sucks

I see PlayStation fanboys talking about Horizon, and sharing screenshots. I see Nintendo fanboys talk about the new Pokémon game. I see Xbox fanboys talk about acquisitions, and a subscription service. This is why one of these groups gets mocked more than the others. 🤖🤖

@SamuelLucciano @OliverJia1014 Yeah, I honestly don't know how to fix that "problem" (as it doesn't seem to be a big problem for most). Maybe if a less risk averse company buys Nintendo, but they're worth too much. Just bigger budgets and more time for new/forgotten IPs.

@HClawtooth Yeah but after #Nintendo debacle of #Etikons back in 2020; it just makes this decision so hard because of my stance of #MentalHealth and Nintendo's absolutely atrocity of raising awareness in a very big issue about gamers

@HecklesKekles @izukueth @PlNKIE_MANIA How is it sucking ****, to say that Gamefreak has multiple teams working on Pokemon, and that they aren't being mistreated? Nintendo has a lot of problems. Their treatment of Gamefreak is not one of them.

Excited about "Pokémon ATM" the service that allows you to take out any of the 800+ non legendary Pokémon (for 0.15 cents each) and have them populate your game world, allowing for infinite experiences (If you have Nintendo Online+)

Arceus was an disaster on a technical level... is it the case that because Pokemon is weirdly split between companies, Nintendo's vast assemblage of Helper Studios that iron out technical issues aren't able to help? It just feels weird a Monolithsoft or etc wasn't called in

@SamuelLucciano @mrbeenmaybe @OliverJia1014 Didnt the 64 games launched broken on switch even tho the are like a decade or so old? Also nintendo was the same company who rewarded the splattoon tournament winners with 25 bucks to use in their store and some people didnt even get that. Yea nintendo sucks *****

Nintendo releasing another pokemon game already? Slow down and fix the one you already had If this new game has more alternate dimension and DLT I quit

@ShinesprkLuxray Here's the big problem with pokemon that's not Gamefreak, its Nintendo. They say "Hey we need a pokemon game by this years chistmas." And gamefreak has little say in this industry and its not ideal. This is why I've been playing more minecraft and stuff like Wargroove.

@tee_spoonie I'm so pissed honestly. Why tf did I pay for Arceus? This is getting to be a pretty consistent issue with Nintendo games and I'm not happy about it. Why am I paying money for games you just refuse to update? Or ones they don't care about anymore?

Gonna be another great round of people blaming every problem with the new games on Nintendo or Game Freak instead of The Pokemon Company

A lot of people don't understand why Xbox isn't done acquiring. Nintendo is set to put out roughly 10 full $60 exclusives this year. Sony has 7 planned that we know about. Xbox has 3 or 4, if we count Stalker. Gaps like this with a subscription service are dangerous.

@NintendoAmerica does the switch still support usb headsets? Mine hasn’t been working recently and I just wanted to know if it just doesn’t work anymore, or if it’s a problem with my switch solely. Thanks in advance.

@Bimb0Slice Lmao this person is also simping for the new Pokémon that Nintendo is already churning out before even beginning to fix their insanely broken current release that can't even render trees more than 3 meters away from the player
