    @tk_the_kitsune @KingNarukami45 Problem is that Nintendo are getting the cards from a different manufacturer so unless they have another option, 64 is all 3rd party has and they hate losing money so game cards are cheaper even though I’m not a huge fan. Madden is 61 and that’s using a game keycard

    @AG_Gobstopper You're right. I don't have a principle, a rule I apply to every company. And I have absolutely broken this standard with other companies, probably without even knowing. This is specifically against Nintendo, and I should probably apologize for making it wider than that.

    @GTBreezy_ @Imladris1893 @PostUp_SOG Okay so what you're saying is it's Xbox doing this to get everyone over to gamepass to then raise the price?? Is that why Nintendo is doing $80 games as well?? The reaching to hate on gamepass is getting old. It's a good service.

    @sagdivide32257 @onlyhereforpkmn They did, don’t be silly. Nintendo already made it publicly known even before the switch 2 became available that Pikmin 3 specifically was one of the game that had compatibility issues. They have a dedicated website for this.

    @LucarioSplat2 I have the same issue. Not just Ninjala, but other games too on Nintendo Switch 2.

    4/ The Switch's Joy-Con Drift: Trust Issues? 🎮🔧 Nintendo faced criticism for the Joy-Con drift issue, as many players experienced problems shortly after purchase. This led to lawsuits and demands for better quality control. #NintendoSwitch #JoyConDrift

  • grok
    Grok (@grok) reported

    The idea of protective covers for the Nintendo Switch 2's debossed areas when Joy-Con 2 are detached is creative, akin to Nintendo 64 cartridge covers. They could shield against dust and offer customization. However, no widespread dust issues are reported with the Switch 2's magnetic Joy-Con system. Existing cases already provide comprehensive protection, likely reducing demand for niche covers. While appealing to collectors, the market seems limited without clear evidence of need. Current accessories may suffice for most users.

    @SonOfATech Nintendo I could forgive cause it’s game code on media(cartridge). Sony is building up a game library for their Plus “Games as a service” subscription. Steam is just putting games on the digital shelf at MSRP, but I expect some service to come out of them too.

    HonestToCritic (@HonestToCritic) reported

    @sister_wow @NextGenPlayer You mean the one Xbox is trying to artificially induce? Cuz Nintendo has only released one $80 dollar game that isn't an upgrade edition. And Sony/other publishers don't seem to be following suit. They thought they could bait em, and up Game Pass's value. Glad it's not working...

  • tempestwolfvt
    TempestWolfVT (@tempestwolfvt) reported

    @retro_cheater @ArtistNcs That's a good decision too. I should've stated *as of now* but then again, Nintendo never did fix the drift for the original Switch either so we'll have to play the waiting game to see what they do. We can only hope for the best.

    violetpurpleish (@violetpurpleish) reported

    @Adziwo_ @NintyPrime Yeah that's the part I really hate about buying new hardware. If the issue with the trigger seems like something that doesn't fix itself over time, you might want to send it in for repair. I would hope Nintendo lets you keep the console so you can still play it in the meantime.

    @DramaAlert Not getting the issue here, honestly, why is this a problem now? She wasn't a Nintendo employee nor Nintendo was attached to her in any possible way except for a temporal contract every now and then...

    @NintendoAmerica Oh boy, I see trouble brewing!

  • TheCrumbd

    The new Joy-Con controllers for the Nintendo Switch 2 use magnetic attachments for a more secure fit, addressing previous flimsy rail issues. However, strong magnets may cause quick snapping, potentially pinching fingers. #Switch2 #NintendoSwitch2

  • ZoieNolan1
    Moove Over (@ZoieNolan1) reported

    @NextGenPlayer There was a world parts shortage in 2020 thanks to the COVID pandemic. Because of this, both Sony and Xbox struggled to produce enough units to meet demand. That is no longer an issue in 2025, Nintendo has access to it's parts. So I feel like this is an unfair comparison.

    riley🌴 (@reee_cap) reported

    @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

    @Don_keyedjote @OswinOswald223 @Nintendo - error in the discussion. And what are you feeling sorry for me for? I just saw your initial reply to Nintendo and found it humorous for it's error --- and here we are!

    @Pirat_Nation Nintendo has actual QC and their consoles doesn’t come broken out of the box.

    Didn't Nintendo push a Day 1 patch to fix these specific issues? Update your ****.

    @Grummz imo its not even the price, but just bad customer service/quality lately. i miss old nintendo. im passing for now.

    TempestWolfVT (@tempestwolfvt) reported

    If you take a moment to watch the video, they explain the issues with the Switch 2. I said I wouldn't recommend based on an informed decision from professionals that analyzed the device for repairability and showing underlying issues such as the drifting issue which Nintendo is aware of themselves. That's all.

  • Elevatorisbest
    Elevatorisbest 🗿🦅🇪🇺 (@Elevatorisbest) reported

    @videotechuk_ @NintendoAmerica Nah, don't justify even higher prices, 70 euros/dollars is expensive as is, add in fact that publishers like to price things at 10-20 dollars more in poorer countries for whatever reason and it's a hellhole that deserves some AAA crash

    Nintendo I’m gonna need y’all to say something about the wifi issues cause I really can’t play games like this 😭

  • NatorMVP
    RG | Porkpants 🥓👖 (@NatorMVP) reported

    @Sadcat42069 @ModernVintageG Because Nintendo first party games are very polished, high quality, no day 1 patch games. Nintendo launched a new console with a new multiplayer game and it worked. How many new online games have server issues the first couple of days?

    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

    Septemberus Octoberus (@ElCaptainCook) reported

    @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.

    @PiperistheNewbl It's not a waste. What he's doing is a public service and really Nintendo should do this themselves.

    @Zodyrus @pory_leeks The problem is Nintendo. One showcases what Game Freak is capable of. The other shows that happens when they're forced to churn one out every 1-2 years. Simple.
