  @CentroLeaks Wait, so Gamefreak makes an Xbox Exclusive game that far surpasses anything visually that pokemon has going for it but Scar and Vio looks like **** and Legends Z-A looks visually lazy? So is Nintendo or the pokemon company the problem??? Or is this a whole other department in GF?

  @Pirat_Nation Actually Nintendo isn't the problem as they actually offered to help Game Freak, and Game Freak ******* refused

  @TheHylian64 I really do hope they fix this with an update. I'm not optimistic because it's Nintendo, but hey, we finally got a favorites feature on Echoes of Wisdom after they pushed back against all the menu complaints for so long. So I guess it's not impossible :3

  @PunchoLuncho And even then it fails. There’s a large part of the library that didn’t get QOL updates. We tested a few and they all perform worse. Nintendo had to intentionally fix for them to run better than the previous system. It’s really bad.

  @J_ROOST @NintendoAmerica Mentioning that the game is $80 isn't dumb but a fact; the game is priced at $80 so Nintendo makes YOU think that buying the bundle will save you money. You guys assuming that we HAVE TO willingly pay more money for less content is the really dumb thing here and the root problem

  @pory_leeks So the big ******* problem with pokemon games are with Nintendo making gamefreak push out shovelware games.

  Nintendo Switch is just a glorified nostalgia machine struggling with latency issues. Perfect for basement parties, terrible for serious FPS action. Prove me wrong. 🎮🔥 #HotTake #SwitchLag #RealTalk

  @SomeKirbyFan and it will launch with thousands more games than the switch 2 with 0 fee to pay for ****** online service. 50 dollars a year for limited emulation vs emulating every nintendo game ever minus the one 90$ mario kart game lol

  @PopPizzaMan @Paige40329935 @ShitpostRock I don't think that all Nintendo dose is good, but many are, they saved companies and they are one of the last company that delayed done games just to bug fix. Not everything is good, but we'll at least Nintendo is hiring instead of closing studios.

  @MucharV @ShadowzPaine @Nintendo That’s the thing about these triggered troons. They project their problems onto you with pathetic insults then block you

  @AG_Gobstopper You're right. I don't have a principle, a rule I apply to every company. And I have absolutely broken this standard with other companies, probably without even knowing. This is specifically against Nintendo, and I should probably apologize for making it wider than that.

  @LucarioSplat2 I have the same issue. Not just Ninjala, but other games too on Nintendo Switch 2.

  Didn't Nintendo push a Day 1 patch to fix these specific issues? Update your ****.

  There 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.

  @Grummz I don't think $80 Nintendo games are the biggest problem. Remember how much N64 games cost? The problem to me is that Nintendo never discounts their games. Older games never go down in price. That's so greedy and evil. I hate it.

  @cryptochic0x @kirawontmiss If a grown man is playing Nintendo Switch he needs a Dr visit. Probably has a myriad of problems. Low Test, hormone disruption, obesity, depression...

  @Don_keyedjote @Nintendo i really don’t see the issue. even at a transphobic standpoint men have always dressed as women in performances and plays. This is no different in my eyes. So most peoples points crumble really easily

  @ElBichoteR7 @martttoo @NotiPlay_ No, it's not true that nobody buys Xbox. Xbox Series X|S has sold about 32 million units globally by early 2025, with 11.4 million in 2024 alone, up from 9.8 million in 2023. However, sales lag behind PlayStation (74 million) and Nintendo (128 million), and 2024 saw lows, like under 3 million units in the US and Europe. Microsoft's strategy of releasing games on PlayStation may reduce Xbox's exclusivity appeal, impacting sales perceptions. Still, Game Pass has 31 million subscribers, showing strength in services.

  @Garfytwit @NintendoUK Did you have a problem connecting it to the internet wired - we can connect using WiFi but wired doesn’t seem to want to work

  Closing statement. This isn’t a skill issue, as most of it is just clutter from the amount of players. My sibling said ”you only have fun when you’re winning” IM NOT HAVING FUN BECAUSE ITS JUST STRAIGHT UP FRUSTRATING. This was a huge downgrade from 8 deluxe. Do better Nintendo.

  How @NoMansSky released cross save with Nintendo switch 2, have be absolutely broken and unable to play cross save, after people paid for the product for a second time. To not even acknowledge it is diabolical behaviour.

  duby149 (@duby149) reported 49 minutes ago

  @JuiceMan_V 450$ for the switch system was never the problem, the 80$ games and charging a few to unlock the better performance for old games was the real issue people had. Also now its turns out game chat is locked behind a pay wall too, Nintendo is pulling some real greedy moves.

  Grok (@grok) reported 53 minutes ago

  @Nintendo The Legend of Zelda movie delay to May 7, 2027, is due to "production reasons," likely to ensure quality, as stated by Miyamoto. This is the first delay since the March 2027 date was set in 2025. No evidence supports prior delays, though the long development since 2023 may feel like multiple postponements. Fans are split—some are frustrated, others back the focus on quality. Details on specific production issues are unclear, so the exact cause remains speculative.

  @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..

  @Pirat_Nation Nintendo has actual QC and their consoles doesn’t come broken out of the box.

  @Xtremeisthebest @Pirat_Nation Nintendo is doing the LEAST. thats the problem. Nintendo runs pokemon btw, they have some say in how it works & the funding for it. if the game is *** we can blame the runners of the pokemon series but its also owned by Nintendo who oversees it, some fault is on them

  But I was not meaned any of these things. You was just assumed I meant that but I wrote something else. Yes, I wrote it is risky, I still think that and if this risk will not go well then PS and Nintendo lost competitor and on the contrary, they will hardlock more games into consoles than before because will have enough of users for that. But yeah, I also think would be good if Xbox would go well with console working along PC system. But what I was really critizing that Xbox Rog Ally do not solving any of that. It is Xbox device that do not working at Xbox system. It is just next Win device just optimised to compete with Steam OS. That is only purpose of device.

  @Pirat_Nation people just going to ignore the poor frame rate in the trailer? Game Freak is still part of the problem here, its also not just Nintendo. I feel people dont get what cycle Pokemon as a whole has put itself in.

  @ThnhNamPhan3 i see it because i go looking for sanrio products and quickly notice a few weeks later, theyre gone. because they got copyrighted, meaning they had to change products to avoid it becoming a financial issue. it happened a few years ago with nintendo copyrighting ppl lmfao.
