@zenspath @analogue Thank god it was only the outer screen, hopefully it turns out to be $6 fix like on the Nintendo portables.

@Mvsleaks i agree with the letting them coexist, but there’s no denying that a large percentage of gamers do not have nintendo consoles to play smash. so for a huge amount of players, multiversus is the casual family platform fighter, solely because of accessibility issues.

@thicc_stick_boi The Switch was fine at first. However the lack of a mid life cycle hardware refresh to fix performance issues, plus mid games and terrible business practices from Nintendo killed the magic.

Frankly, I do not trust Nintendo of America anymore. After they wasted hours of my time with their horrible Nintendo Store service, no communication on the preorders, and now this, I'm done. Get better customer support and leave distribution to professionals you morons.

@Melneedsaname For the best. i think a lot of the problem is that they are a toy company first, much like Nintendo and as a result they can't help but compare their success TO Nintendo and associated franchises like Pokemon and if it doesn't stand up to impossible comparisons they don't try.

@justinl04090362 @Puertorock77_ @MldGhost Nothing Rare has produced since purchase by Microsoft has hit the marks of their releases prior under Nintendo. A Free to Play pirate game generating income doesnt mean its a high quality title judging by the metacritic reviews...Many live service titles milk money but are trite.

@kunaifn7 @SuarezYoshi For some it’s relatively unnoticable, but in desperate MUs, I found I lost more using Pro Controller, and it pushed me to move back. :/ I have absolutely no issue with the controller itself, it’s just rather unfortunate that Nintendo didn’t do more about the wired situation.

@TrveBlackMetal @MGSMGN I thought the issue was more so with Silicon Knights rather than Nintendo when it comes to porting the remake to other platforms?

Nintendo of America has terrible service and will make empty promises. I should've at the very least gotten shipping information on release day yesterday, but not only am I in the dark but they refuse to tell me if my order is actually going through.

@MightyKeef Nintendo fanboys were kicking and screaming for Persona but when somebody else wants to play Xenoblade on a PS5, it’s a problem LOL

@Kyle_Itzy @BirkinWill Were not talking about Nintendo , Xbox live is a paid service , so you have to include that . You can stack ps+ subs or you could until a few weeks ago .

@CheapAzzGamer @MldGhost @TWTHEREDDRAGON Because Sony signed a contract with them to keep them off Nintendo and Sega. Sony manipulated the market. Same as Sony does not locking games onto their platform. The issue is other than MS, they generally have more money to outbid the competition. Sony is corrupt.

@DomTheBombYT I think it’s absolutely a cash grab and not worth the money but I’m a hypocrite and part of the problem because I’ll still be buying this **** day one. I think the only time I’ve stuck to my guns about not buying something ****** was deciding to not buy Nintendo Online Expansion

@JudahMoscato I don't think Nintendo the one who needs to grow up here. I think it's you who needs to grow up. Didn't have a problem gaming like this before you was handed all this power. What's the childish obsession now? I'll have fun like the good days that complain my game shuddered once.

Tried to play in Anther's ladder but there's literally nobody and when I got a player the lag was horrible. I'll try to grind but **** you Nintendo.

@AltaSerenity @ButtersKennedy @UberFacts By the time the super Nintendo came out There was a Nintendo Toploader that came out and you no longer had the problem of having to blow on the cartridge because that fix the connection issue

@NintendoAmerica I don't understand why my sisters have to pay a monthly subscription to just access Minecraft friends? Do you mind explaining it to me that doesn't somehow show this is just a scam looking to get more money from your users without providing a useful service?

Getting my kids signed up to play games on Nintendo is one of the most stressful things I have to do. It's always like a 95 step process and all I wanna do is say, "yeah, my kids can play this one game." "What email address will your 7 year old use to sign in?" Are you kidding!?

@Durrtydoesit That's an simple observation. People at like if you ridicule Nintendo you committed a murder. Just like when gamer have any particular problems with said company they constantly remind others this should be fix.

PSA: Per Nintendo World Report's #XenobladeChronicles3 review, the grass disappearing in a circle around the camera/character is a glitch and can be corrected by rebooting the game.

@TehParalyzer @TrveBlackMetal @MGSMGN The game has several references to Nintendo that would have to be removed, and the dialogue would have to be reworked as it is built surrounding the GameCube controls. Looking online, it seems the issue is Silicon Knights going out of business. No one sure who 'owns' it now.

Nintendo gets a lot of (deserved) criticism about wonky online services. But in a way, I respect them for maintaining a less “always on” approach to having a console specific subscription or service

If Nintendo doesn’t release a Donkey Kong game soon I’m gonna start causing problems.

@GiantsOfGaming @BirkinWill Why not? They're both paid subscription services like the Nintendo online service. Why would we not compare them? I'm not following.

@BulbaWhat98 Well keep in mind this is not confirmed obviously and maybe Nintendo won't think that way if they look at people's feedback. I think it's still going to sell well despite the problems because it's well... Mario lol

3h doesn't have this issue. It's used sparingly. But I swear 3Hopes uses 'Also' during every conversation. I've never liked using 'Also' as a transition; it's always come across as amateur-ish to me. Seeing it used so often in an officially licensed Nintendo game makes me...
