(@DaPlopPlop) reported
I've honestly just feel fed up with Ulti as a whole now, haven't played it in weeks now and for more to come and another Nintendo character is lame af. I wish I could be a SFV player without the issues there are for me atm among other games I can use to distance myself from Ult.

@JustCliff_ @Mr_RSmash That's kinda the problem nintendo forces upon themselves. Having the triple A releases either not come out or be extremely watered down to fit on the hardware is just really unfortunate and forces people to have a secondary console or PC if they want to play other AAA titles

@swiitener that’s the problem, why do you think they hit it out of the park with the switch? because no one bought the wii u so they got a bunch of third party support making it portable and putting fan favorites on the console if ppl buy nintendo’s bad content they’ll just make more

@DirectFeedGames Sadly, Nintendo games never have a problem with selling so they never need to discount their games from $60 :(.

Nintendo made it so we couldn't use the capture button to capture when connection errors occurred cause if they could they would be OVER

@NintendoAmerica Yeah because that's worth 60... This is why your company is facing problems with piracy. I'm just gonna use dolphin emulator now.

@MarceIUTD I never bought into the fortnitre hype, played it on Nintendo switch with my friend for the memes, and tbf it was fun to crash the planes into tilted towers

Xbox made BC damn near their whole brand and Nintendo is over charging for games years if not decades old. See the problem?

And let's not even consider how they've clearly been struggling with games to add to the NSO, Nintendo could easily have announced they're adding GBA games to the service (maybe with Mother 3 finally localized to kick it off? Idk, a man can dream), but no. We got **** diddly

@mewvore People are weird. They think Nintendo has to adhere to the one game per system model still. They've broken that formula multiple times with mario and Zelda lol. Why not splatoon

@joao_paulo_0001 Xbox has been on it, that I can tell. How the hell do you think FF came? There's a big issue. Xbox is mostly north-american. PS and Nintendo are japonese. Porting to Xbox is not usually the extra job they'll try to do because there isn't as much market. Not much profit.

@Drakeln01 I'm totally okay with Nintendo porting the entire universe into their console but the problem is when they're all full price, that kinda sucks when they don't even add new stuff to make it that big of a price lol

Like geez even with other popular 3rd party picks Crash/Spyro.... THEY put their games on Switch. Therefore money can make money for the company. The last KH game on nintendo was.... early 3DS?

@Shokio_YT facts. the problem isn't the gimmicks. the consistently nintendo is lacking in the hardware as a cost, and then never used the gimmicks that caused the lack of hardware.

James @ Final Fantasy VI
(@Theswweet) reported
@heartisblazing Much like with Tokyo Mirage Sessions, the core of the issue was probably the targeted age ratings. They originally said there wouldn't be any changes, and that might've been when they were internally gunning for an M. Blame Nintendo for telling them to target a T, then.

@paidenthusiast @mariokart I mean I get that but I just don't see how $60 or $70 is a problem. Hell I'm surprised they aren't back toward the $80 and $90 range they once were. That being said if people are complaining about Nintendo pricing but ok with AAA games prices on PS5 then expose them away.

@mewvore Nintendo still doesn't really DO "live service" and they're not doing microtransactions and cosmetic shops for Splatoon either, unless you count Amiibo? The biggest confusion on my end is that I thought they'd try to make it a launch title for the Switch 2/Pro if that's even real

Was just thinking, it would be pretty awesome if @NintendoAmerica added Game Boy to their Online Service (like they have with NES and SNES). I know they won’t add N64, due to Mario 3D All-Stars and any other remaster/rerelease they want to do. I’d actually be more pumped for GB.

Literally the only way to play games from the N64 and onwards in a way that Nintendo endorses is to wait upwards of 2 decades after the original release for an overpriced re-release which more often than not introduces new problems the OG titles lacked.

@SpawnWaveMedia It's not surprising at all and that's the problem with Nintendo compared to other companies. Other companies understand that their old games age and aren't worth full price when newer games are out. Nintendo is the Disney of gaming.

@KallixVA I know how that feels dude. I've been having a lot of internet issues recently due to my ISP, was trying to play some stardew valley with friends on Switch and I continued to get DC'd. Could be my internet or Nintendo servers.

A reminder that Nintendo has no problems suing and bankrupting anyone who even dares talk about or uses their games in a way not approved by them while at the same time ignoring any massive problems their products or they themselves have

@SpawnWaveMedia You only say this because you have been conditioned to this by Nintendo for years. Xbox couldn't get away with this ****. They have MCC and its still getting new content. Activision couldn't get away with this **** and they had full remakes of spyro, crash, and Tony hawk 1+2

@lcfc96_s @Colteastwood @JFonzerrelli I literally lost hundreds of hours of save data because I sold my ps4 pro, didn't keep ps+ because why pay for a service Im not using, and after 6 months they were all gone (bought a pay year 1/2 after). It's a stupid thing to put behind a pay wall for Sony and nintendo
