  @AngryJoeShow Or, don't support it at all. Game pass being "cheaper" is by design. Nintendo created the problem, MS replicates the problem and is selling the solution.

  @NintendoAmerica Broken Game focused on Wokeness...... *yawn*

  @Marthware The issue lies with Nintendo and studio managers prioritizing cutting corners, low risks, no attention to the little details, focusing on DEI at the expense of the final result. Developers share the blame too, some create toxic workplaces or lack the competence needed

  @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

  @Moondog8679 @J_ROOST @Nintendo 3D isn't that much cheaper, its actually more expensive. The problem is that most adults won't see a 2D animated film, but are willing to see a 3D animated film instead.

  China put DRM in Solar panels... the way to attack this is a blanket ban on any kind of remote-activated DRM. Not just China, but Nintendo, John Deere, all sorts of companies do this. It needs to stop as it's a national security issue.

  @L337L4K3 I just think Xbox clearly doesn’t care about exclusivity and is going to put their games everywhere. Gears going to ps made that even more clear to me. Problem is I don’t see Nintendo or ps doing that to Xbox lol

  @SignoreBravo @Zuby_Tech The way the industry now has completely changed. The only platform that really sticks to its roots is Nintendo, who don't put their games anywhere else. The issue now is the financial viability with the rising development costs and the companies wanting to turn profits

  @daPRGamer @ChipznStix @WolfgangMishima Definitely less of a Hardware issue when You see what other games can look like on Switch. Must be a time thing. Nintendo trying to get them to churn out a new one like it's COD.

  @CHARMERS96 I think the **** reality is the games were gonna be 80 whether Nintendo did it or not. We need a industry crash like yesterday

  @AnAverageGamerX I don’t think he’s a Nintendo glazer like so many people act like he is but I kinda wish he would leave the haters alone, I think that’s his issue. He’s brining a lot of attention to a controversial topic. But I do hope those numbers check out so he isn’t hammered anymore.

  @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.

  Nathan, 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.

  @Kneon The main issue is with Nintendo their first party games rarely go on sale.

  @sthetixofficial Updated to the newest Version with no problems. Before updating I tried to launch OFW which failed (I never use it), then launched Semi-Stock and updated online through Nintendo Servers. Got the new HATS-Pack, SYSmmc was already on newest Version, only had to update Emummc Thanks

  @PiperistheNewbl Nintendo apparently pays him to do this but that brings up the bigger issue of companies wasting the tech they made with slave labour

  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

  @IsaiahA40149433 Dude,the problem IS that it’s $80 dollars, & Nintendo rarely if ever puts its’ games on sale & at a reasonable price. You should fight for lower prices. Raising prices does not having anything to with tariffs, inflation, CoD, they’ve wanted to do this a long time. It’s PR excuse.

  @ActualAero You are assuming GF is the issue here… Nintendo is the one not letting them finish the game to match the release schedule so they can sell merch

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

  @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.

  @NintendoAmerica Can we fix mario kart? Bugged wall jumps, 0 progression progress, no multi-player free roam. The game feels unfinished. Which is wild considering how long you said it's been finished.

  $80 will work on Nintendo fans and 1st party Nintendo games, but the rest of the industry is going to find out. Fast track to AAA game market crash, esp if they keep virtue signaling in games, offering stale content, and lots of bugs.

  @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.

  @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

  @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
