In Vino Veritas (@Amor_Lasciviae) reportedAs someone that owns multiple enthusiast level PCs, you can't overcome the hardware gap in a compact system. My issue is that Nintendo didn't make up for it anywhere else. They didn't integrate an onboard SD card for more storage on top of the slot. Increased prices though.

Grok (@grok) reportedThe GameCube controller for Nintendo Switch should work with Mario Kart World on the Switch 2, but with limitations. It supports basic racing, as seen with Mario Kart 8 Deluxe, using buttons like A for acceleration and R for drifting. However, it lacks clickable analog sticks and extra shoulder buttons, which may restrict access to advanced features like off-roading or menu navigation. Nintendo confirms compatibility beyond GameCube Classics, but warns of potential issues. The Switch 2 supports the original Switch's GameCube adapter. For a full experience, consider a Pro Controller or Joy-Cons.

saxy asian (@djKrispyKale) reported@KyleJamesOlson @FerrisWheelPro It’s all opinion based at this point. The corporations have a hand in it all. Microsoft, Sony, Nintendo, Nvidia, Ubisoft etc. The only thing left to do is wait for the gaming crash. Until then, make your own joy where you can find it
-
Crumbd (@TheCrumbd) reportedThe new Joy-Con controllers for the Nintendo Switch 2 use magnetic attachments for a more secure fit, addressing previous flimsy rail issues. However, strong magnets may cause quick snapping, potentially pinching fingers. #Switch2 #NintendoSwitch2

Monado // Justin (@Monado_) reported@KahunaCilver520 Same people that call Nintendo the devil of the industry too, like yeah they have their problems, like being lawsuit heavy and such. But at least I know the money for that $80 game isn't lining the pockets of the CEO. They're actively hiring people, not firing lol.
-
Mr Topps Card (@MrToppsCard) reported@uniformcritic They're designed to stand out. They sure do. Look at the TD one in Toronto or the Nintendo one in Seattle. No amount of complaining will fix it. They're awful and they're here to stay.
-
Dave Fellow (@DaveFellow) reported@DramaAlert Not getting the issue here, honestly, why is this a problem now? She wasn't a Nintendo employee nor Nintendo was attached to her in any possible way except for a temporal contract every now and then...
-
Bickle bork (@BickleKun) reported@Xbox_Series_XS Nintendo is terrified of all these handheld PC that can easily emulate their hardware. Maybe they wouldn't have that problem if they made real hardware
-
Cass 💜 (@perfectcrimes_) reportedi think nintendo heard everyone wanting mkwii's glitch techs again and responded with legal glitch techs in mkworld bc no way is THIS possible for any other reason
-
RG | Porkpants 🥓👖 (@NatorMVP) reported@Sadcat42069 @ModernVintageG Because Nintendo first party games are very polished, high quality, no day 1 patch games. Nintendo launched a new console with a new multiplayer game and it worked. How many new online games have server issues the first couple of days?

Dc88 (@Dc88__) reported@NintendoAmerica Fix your cheating AI because it's too obvious

whitemonkey1 (@babywhitemonkey) reportedNintendo Switch ² brand new already encountered battery swelling issues..
-
Grok (@grok) reportedNathan, battery calibration can help fix inaccurate charge indicators on the Nintendo Switch, as Nintendo and tech guides like iFixit confirm. It ensures the device displays the correct battery level but doesn't improve actual battery life or fix degradation. Your advice may mislead if presented as a universal fix, as Void suggests. Here's a disclaimer for your video: "Battery calibration corrects inaccurate charge displays but won't enhance battery capacity or fix a degraded battery. For persistent issues, consider replacement per Nintendo's guidelines." This clarifies the method's scope and limitations.
-
Pain uchiha (@1999Antoto) reported@MiguelGX9 @mrpyo1 And? I’m pointing out hypocrisy. If Pyo buys and enjoy every TLOU remaster then why is it a problem for Nintendo to offer a 10$ upgrade as well?
-
Kirbei (@kirbyl0vesan1me) reported@MucharV @ShadowzPaine @Nintendo That’s the thing about these triggered troons. They project their problems onto you with pathetic insults then block you
-
Eragon_RH (@Eragon_RH) reported@onlyhereforpkmn It's one of the few games with backwards compatibility issues Nintendo has already talked about it being worked on lol
-
tronman64 (@tronman64) reportedIf anything any hopes of me competing with online randoms are thrown out the window if this is the case. And yes...this is a skill issue 100%. Just wish Nintendo didn't decide to make their cpu's level up just in time for me to get back into the game.
-
Static (@StaticManiaArt) reported@dgxchvz @yggdrasilsaltar ...how can Mario steal from Crash if Crash isn't the first series to do a thing? Good job trying to skirt you original point --- Mini-turbos come from the original Mario Kart. Diddy Kong Racing is from a sub-series Mario. F-Zero (a Nintendo game) did anti-grav before Crash.

ᴀᴅᴅɪᴇ🥀 BORN AGAIN (@addiebee03) reportedcommunication error on two 1st place finished i hate u nintendo im sorry i cant afford mario ksrt world let me live
-
Colin Von Kolin (@grimes314) reported@RealLifeFakeWiz If yall can skip fomo these games will be $20 in a year. But Nintendo? Yeah Mario karts gonna be $80 come 2030. Nintendo is the problem here and any other answer is wrong.
-
Vanity (@Vanityshii) reported@jonathancigaret @iiWhiskey @Nick_Marseil well playstation isn’t trying to be a streaming service. They still want to sell consoles and console exclusives is how they do that, same as nintendo
-
Tuggernut (@Tuggernut4) reported@GTBreezy_ @Imladris1893 @PostUp_SOG Okay so what you're saying is it's Xbox doing this to get everyone over to gamepass to then raise the price?? Is that why Nintendo is doing $80 games as well?? The reaching to hate on gamepass is getting old. It's a good service.
-
Tobi Adeyinka (@AdeyinkaRotimi1) reported@Chris_Dring I fully expect them to launch a streaming only service or subscription for TVs and stuff in the future if adoption starts gaining traction. But they will do everything to ensure that 30% is still very lucrative on their own platform and not give it others. Nintendo will be well..
-
Ezequiel (@AburridoMort) reported@MyNutsAreHuuge @nahuacapital @Nick_Marseil The same thing happened to me, but I only pay for one service. Game Pass, Xbox, Nintendo, and PC are the way to go.
-
Grok (@grok) reportedI can't say for sure why the image request was denied, as I don't have access to the specific reasoning. Likely, it's due to legal safeguards: Donkey Kong is Nintendo's copyrighted character, and using Chris Hansen's likeness could violate his privacy or publicity rights. xAI's policies prohibit content that risks intellectual property or privacy issues. The alcohol aspect might play a role, but it seems secondary. Without clearer details, both elements probably triggered the refusal to stay compliant with legal and ethical standards.
-
Alfredo Toons (@Alfredo_Toons) reported@ConnorOhOne @makio_jroses I don't understand how or why Nintendo would impose a deadline, especially considering they are known for delaying their own games if they don't meet their standards. If you can't understand the difference between The Pokémon Company and Nintendo then you are part of the problem.
-
Noir 浮世 (@madcap412) reported@brielarson @NintendoAmerica You could have purchased several of these with no problems, as you're a washed-up celebrity Why do you get to receive a free one?
-
🍃💚Nemi The Meowscarada💚🍃 🏳️⚧️ (@MeowscaradaNemi) reportedThere are only a few things I agree with Nintendo on but most of everything they have done...I do not support. All I can be thankful for is that they made online subscriptions cheaper than Xbox and even PlayStation. At least more affordable. I don't like that they made their online service a subscription based thing just to follow along with PlayStation and Xbox but I am happy that they are cheaper for me to afford.

Pixel (@pixelluma) reported@NintendoAmerica Oh boy, I see trouble brewing!

. (@itsjulian) reported@FortniteStatus bought a Nintendo Switch 2 and the game has excessive random rubberband lag. Checked on my laptop and switch 1 and the issue doesn’t happen on either of those devices. Any help?
