@so_Jmp @gematsu They were not lying the problem is that the Nintendo switch is very difficult to optimize for call of duty will likely be on the switch 2

@Xbox It looks a lot like somebody wants to copy Nintendo with the only problem being that the games they have less for decades like Mario Kart , while COD it's only played for a year at Max

@realestAG_ I understand your point, and while it's been said, the issue is that it was the main thing Nintendo pushed for the game outside of the changes to the racing and K.O. Tour. Even past that, it's honestly just not that great of a mode, but can be improved in the next title.

literally the things i would do with $520 instead of buying a nintendo bc i have other things to really worry about, but it's okay if other ppl can afford it the problem is not seeing that spending that much money in something like games or consoles CAN surprise others

@ellenpostingg Nintendo haters are trying the hardest rn to try make every single thing about this console seem bad instead of just focusing on the actual issues 😭

@Skull_Kidsx @Iamconfuuzed @IfritNova I didn’t buy a PS5 for the same reasons. And I wasn’t active on X when it came out. “My cult got criticized so I’m gonna deflect and attack something else so they leave my cult alone” not working bud. Criticism is good and Nintendo deserves it.

@darlingstrawbie The only thing that I can complain about buying a Switch 2 is that it incentivizes Nintendo to continue their unethical practices and leads to a worse quality for gamers, as they will ignore Nintendo's problems if they release a good game.

@DynamoSuperX TPCI is owned by Nintendo, Game Freak, and Creatures. They are three separate companies that joint own one. Game Freak is the problem with Pokemon games and it's been known for a while now.

@peach2k2 I feel like it was an emulator project, maybe Ryujinx, where one user got so upset they dropped Win7 support he felt justified to alert Nintendo to DCMA the project. Wish I could find the GitHub issue…

@Grummz Problem is not Nintendo taking advantage of 80 games its when other AAA games start doing it and still putting in all their microtransactions BS into it.

@Majewra @Xbox If anything, this proves that it’s not a GameFreak issue but a Nintendo issue.

@HiddenPowerPod Sad Pokémon keeps looking like trash on Nintendo systems, while gamefreak is actually capable of making an epic AAA game for other platforms. Guess Nintendo is the problem for how bad Pokémon games are not gamefreak.

@shemlorn @Aestheticc_Meme The Nintendo hate is real. Not only did Monolith Soft make great looking Nintendo games before becoming a first-party studio, but no Nintendo game had issues as bad as later Pokémon.

@Username_idkbru @Stealth40k Yes. Nintendo started this. It is no coincidence that after Nintendo dated make his game 80 dls, inmediately a bunch of publisher do the same. The exavt same thing happened when the 70 dls barrier was broken. To think otherwise, is naive.

I'm surprised Ubisoft doesn't have some new game to launch with. They're usually big supporters of Nintendo and console launches, but they've also been going through the wringer. Not even a S2 issue. All consoles for a long while have had anemic launch lineups.

@wade_424 @DJK1NG_Gaming Glad you agree Nintendo outdated tech is the main problem for all these Nintendo games downfall and total failure. It's so freaking sad how bad Nintendo tech is compared to other game developers.

@DJK1NG_Gaming @KirPinkFury You can say it's not literally "drifting" but it's still broken and if it's the same thing I experienced, calibration doesn't fix it. Nintendo replaced the whole stick for mine

@zero33943105 @NintyPrime @ManaByte Everyone loves Nintendo, everyone loved the switch 1 People have every right to call out Nintendos greedy pricing or the fact that these joycons will have drift issues Analyst all say it is over priced. Nintendo now confirmed, they will repair 1 joycon for free.

@pory_leeks Today we've learned that the problem with pokemon isn't gamefreak, it's Nintendo

@TheInfiniteLink @JuiceMan_V Except it's literally the same concept. Doom Dark Ages just launched and is the same way. "Not remotely the same" and its literally exactly the same. The only unique problem for Nintendo is it may use it the most. But it's no new concept.

This is not a new thing, this has been a known and accepted thing for 15+ years, especially since Paper Mario Sticker Stars I love Miyamoto But he was a problem. It's been stated in nearly every behind the scenes developer commentary from Nintendo devs on big games where they talk about what Miyamoto fought against things that ended up being great things They often would go behind Miyamoto's back on projects cause he wasn't the final boss, Iwata was Miyamoto's been hands off on games since Iwata's death and the Switch launch

@MrFrostitute @DynamoSuperX Nop… Nintendo delays their own games if needed and take their time to develop games, i can hardly remember a Nintendo game that had problems on release, it is pokemon company, they *need* new games to sell plushies cards, etc, that is their true revenue, it so dumb but… yeah…

@linebackerj @_Deez_Games You can tinker with the hardware all you want and you'd have no issues with Nintendo but as soon you try to tinker with their software which mind you is proprietary then they have every right to brick your ****.
