@PISamuray @XboxP3 Correct me if I'm wrong but didn't Sony send a guy dressed up as crash bandicoot to Nintendo hq back in the 90's ?

@shadow_griever @ShayonBurman Steam Deck may fix that last issue too tho, but yeah Nintendo Switch is a good console.

@itsmejamesohara Hey James, bit of a long shot, but are you able to get a duping glitch working on the nintendo switch, I have tried each on numerous times with no success at all

Only reason I'm pointing this out is because a lot of the more recent Lego games have had numerous issues for me. Yeah, I play most of them on Nintendo consoles so, maybe that's on me, but also like. These are Lego games. Most people play them on there. That ain't an excuse.

@randomnesquick @ScratchyDerose @Danny8bit Sakurai doesn’t even pick the characters, they’re done by Nintendo. Aegis makes bc Nintendo. Tekken makes sense bc of the library that smash is. Sora is fan service. If you wanna be mad at one specific character Sephiroth “stole” what would’ve been another sonic Rep.

@lastofcam @ThatPetra I'm subscribed. Revamp maybe, not to mimic Gamepass though. Give us something like Nintendo Online where we can replay older games and not have to buy them individually. Keep the new games out of the service model.

@KalraMahim @FortniteStatus @FortniteGame are you landing at tilted? i play on Nintendo switch (perma undocked) and if i tried to land at tilted the frame rate would drop to like 6fps. Just try to stay away from tilted for a bit if that's the problem. Anything else i don't know how to help you.

@thegameawards Kinda hard to choose because I can think of a number of studios that always seem to deliver something great Naughty dog, from software, and riot all come to mind first. I'd say Nintendo too if they just made games and didn't do ****** online service for their consoles 😖

Gaming kinda sucks now. Nintendo are the only guys making seriously fun stuff that doesn’t feel half broken or predatory. Think I’m done with gaming.

@itstreverr @CalebCityBiker Ok so that’s the real issue then. I can buy a 256 GB microsd card for $30. It really doesn’t make sense for a luxury consumer electronics media player from 2021 to have so little storage without being upgradable (like I can do with my Nintendo Switch). Caveat emptor I guess

@LukePlunkett i think the problem is try to connect their image as the Disney in gaming with their ****** practices. Nintendo is a corporation, and will cut your arms in front of your children on live TV with no remorse for money.

@NintendoAmerica This won’t work because my country isn’t supported by Nintendo :((( anyway to fix this??? (Or redeem the code)

@meyerpark @NextGenPlayer I really don't care if they don't make another console of ps6 as long as they keep making "THE GAMES" ill buy them. I really believe in the future Nintendo will become a streaming service where you buy their games from their gigantic vintage library and their new games.

@rchrstl I was working on a Bayo 3 swordswoman Jeanne pic that I wanted to post before whenever the next Nintendo Direct is (in case they show a trailer) but I’m really slow and keep trying to fix stuff, and now I’m having a hard time running Photoshop so I probably won’t finish it. 😥

Shame. That’s why I won’t buy a switch , unless Nintendo fix the drift issue permanently once and for all then I’ll buy one.

@EastwoodRufus @xgreen360 @IGN I had a Nintendo before Sony or Microsoft even got into making systems. The console war used to be SNES and Sega Genesis. Now it's much dumber. Nintendo does their own thing, Sony outsells XBox consoles, and XBox seems like they're making service so they can stop making consoles.

@Diamondglaceon1 @Dragon_GameDev2 I'm surprised by how much you care about it, if you know Nintendo isn't happy about it why does it matter how much trouble the person's in? They're just doing it for fun

@Durabele Mhm, No one would have expected Xbox to go so far and be a decent competitor. I still think they lag behind Ps and Nintendo. But they're doing great thats for sure

Banjo-Kazooie > Crash Bandicoot I grew up with a Nintendo 64. So my first experience with the original Crash games was the N. Sane Trilogy. And I'm constantly wrestling with Crash 1 trying to do the most basic ****.

@Coolcat_Terri @basednoider @thegameawards Where are all these articles at? And again, just bc you had these issues doesn't make them widespread bugs that define the game. If you rounded up 10 people who played red dead I'd be shocked if even one of them would describe rdr2 as a buggy mess. Also Nintendo mid

@goldchuchujell1 @Greenapplelond1 @nintendolife We’re not talking about hardware here, we’re talking about software. And the issue is that Gamefreak cares more about quantity over quality. Nintendo doesn’t oversee the development of Pokémon games, they just distribute them, therefore the quality standard is absent.
