Given the fact that Wii Sports is arguably the most popular tech demo... I'm surprised Nintendo didn't just do 'Switch Sports' for free with Nintendo Switch Online. I'm just saying. It might get people to care about the online service-

Say what you will about Nintendo's hardware, it's still rock solid in my experience. Worst trouble I had was the hinge on the original Grey DS.

@TheSpace23 It is but I REALLY wish Nintendo would stop dragging their damn feet and release GBA games on their online service. I'm probably not going to renew my sub.

@Timtom24984706 Unless nintendo does fix it and makes sure to inform the genral public of their controllers defects, the lawsuits will keep coming in. So again, the lawsuits aren't blocking nintendo, nintendo is creating causes for the lawsuits.

@Alllegendary123 @NormalPunch @PlayerEssence Where’s the input lag? It seems to be completely nonexistent except for online. Which is a Nintendo related issue as a whole. Not just smash

Alot of the main issues with post 2005 sonic goes back as far as the wii. Why was the 06 team split into two? because the wii wasn't powerful enough for next gen. Why was colours more geared towards nintendo fans? because of the mario and sonic games (cont..)

@NintendoAmerica Holy **** Smash fans are sucj incels brainlits. Xenoblade 2 fans exist people, just because its not as popular as Crash fans doesn't mean we don't deserve to have a character for us which BTW who was originally highly requested.

@mrpoostanky @NintendoAmerica @NintendoVS "there aren't any cool characters left" Master Chief, Dante, Doomslayer, Scorpion, Crash, TF2 character, Chell. I could go on and on. Is Minecraft the only game you play?

A week ago there was a very disappointing Nintendo Direct that made me think I wouldn't buy a Switch this year. It's funny how life works out sometimes because I was lucky enough to grab a Lite that had a pricing error. This also managed to settle the color debate in my mind.

@IfritDesign That doesn’t sound to me like “just change it”. Customer fraud isn’t telling nintendo to fix it.

@ScipioWright @monsterhunter Issue with party is that nintendo switch has no dedicated party and yes i know apps like discord exist but not everyone uses it or wants to, nintendo needs to fix this

@ThatIrishDM @NintendoAmerica If you buy more than what you want/need then that shouldn't be a problem. Worst case they aren't limited and you can just sell the extras.

@Timtom24984706 @JustAlex1997 I never said anything would just instantly disappear, but at least it would go a long way toward fixing this problem Also you provided no evidence that the lawsuits are keeping Nintendo from making new joycons, so I think you're a full of **** Nintendo simp

@AFriendlyGemRGG My only problem is the lack of personality, but that extends to the whole ******* Super Mario Bros. universe. Like after 1996 Nintendo deemed everyone to be cardobard and I hate it.

@Timtom24984706 The others basically amount to at worst banning trade with nintendo IF they don't fix it. And making it illegal for them to continue doing this. So again, it just amounts to a "say sorry and don't do it again" in terms. So they lose only some of the shadier practices for losing.

@Timtom24984706 Defective. The decision not to fix this is solely on nintendo. Not the lawsuits.

@GifZelda Nope. Just that square and nintendo were having some competitive issues and the legend of Zelda was extremely popular. Final fantasy was supposed to be the las game made by square due to bankruptcy and they made a fun of TLOZ. Ironically FF was a huge success so the rivalry

@PattDixon @ApexAlphaJ @bethesda And ps3 is not safe either: they went against the grain and did Nintendo and (moderately) Xbox a well received launch, power not the issue as much as the hard,soft and firmware issues as well as pricing, I did eventually get it after gouging ceased.
