@ManiacLady1 @GoNintendoTweet I still haven’t been able to get a single N64 Controller for my Switch and I refuse to play N64 games especially Zelda without it. So I’m just waiting to play N64 games on the Nintendo Switch Online Service because the Controller is constantly Sold Out.

@cuervo_xx No that's not the problem, why Nintendo. Why not on a PC game show or PS Showcase or anything else, why always on Nintendo Direct and Nintendo Indie World

@VGC_News What's the issue? Just make a powerful console and call it a Nintendo Switch 2. You don't have to rebrand everytime

@Qu1ckQu1et @DbDCrossProg @DeadByBHVR While that’s partially true 90% of the problem is the devs incompetence… no other games has this hard of a time getting cross progression to exist, all they need to do is integrate BHVR accounts into the game and they can completely bypass Sony, Microsoft and Nintendo

@wayneradiotv you'd think nintendo would learn to make an online service that wasn't needlessly complicated, messy, and hard to understand after however many years they've been doing this

nintendo switch sports is really great but man i wish I had some way to give feedback to the devs there are so many weird problems. why can’t you queue in online pairs for global team sports. why does private online bowling need 4-6 bots. why do you have to wait for them to play

@nintendolife the problem with the wii was that it was just a wii with a screen in controller. I think its time for nintendo to go all out on their next console

A relationship should be like a Nintendo 64 classic, fun to spend hours with and every issue is fixed by blowing on it and shoving it back in.

@AidenRS139 Virtual Console needs to come back. Nintendo Online is cool but I prefer to buy the game individually. And this would give them a chance to readd missing titles that aren't on the online service

With Microsoft buying Activision meaning that Crash and Spyro will be in a better place, I wish they or hell, even Nintendo would purchase Konami. I don't care about any exclusivity deals there'll be or what franchises they'll support, I JUST WANT THIS PACHINKO HELL TO END DAMMIT

@Smile_spl @Traguy_85 we won't have ray next game (unless Nintendo really wants to torture us) but ink vac could prove to be just as dumb/broken

My biggest issues with the big 3 right now: PlayStation: too much focus on western appeal, so many franchises left to rot to make 3rd person movies Xbox: DRM and too slow software output, games only around holidays Nintendo: hardware could be more powerful while being portable

@SuperGamer61499 While the drift issue is big, it even bigger than Nintendo as a hole, Nintendo just with the joycons small control stick space got it the worst. My Pro controller drifts, there are reports of the ps5 and xbox controllers drifting. Agree with specs, online, legacy, etc

@RyanWuzHere13 @RealTonyD2 @IGN Nintendo releasing a new console in 2024 adheres to the "in a few more years" statement, and is the year I'm expecting we'll see something instead of the date we'd normally see new hardware (2023). It's naive to think supply chain issues don't factor into this decision.

@NintendoAmerica If this is the best Nintendo can come up with then Nintendo is in trouble cause while it looks fun for like 5 mins it can get repetitive and dull... They should've collab with Marvel n create some cool Marvel skins like the avengers or idk the new upcoming movies ...

@BrokenGamezHDR_ why does sony need to fix something that clearly isn't broken. We are not seeing nintendo guys going around saying that sony needs to make a console handheld hybrid like the switch. Why does sony need to put all their games in ps plus day one?
