@Stealth40k That is the issue Nintendo has to deal with. 2023 Seems to be the year they have their big dogs coming out cycle wise. That cycle wont be around again for a number of years

@unlimited_sonic @SagamiSword_ Very unlikely Not everyone wants to pay for a subscription service After all Xbox isn’t the only option, far from it If they depart from the norm too much they run the risk of losing a huge portion of gamers as both Sony and Nintendo still rely on game purchases

@NintendoAmerica can we please fix the abhorrent servers for Pokémon Scarlet/Violet? It is killing my want to actually play the games.

@IHyodo18 @bakedBatman @gameinformer The problem is, Sony used tactics like this to get into the gaming market back in the 90s, and even to stay on top of the market after dethroning Nintendo.

@TheKavernacle Seems like a decent buy. Seems like a lot of Nintendo devs are pissed about the long console life holding back development. Similar issue with series S and it sucks.

Bonsai Treehouse: HPS1Madvent Day 3 (Do They Know)
(@BonsaiTreehouse) reported
@Capn_Blackhook @MattMcMuscles @vagamer01 The problem imo: the Nintendo outfits were unlockable, this one can presumably be played from the beginning of a new save file Not even the unlockable costumes look as skimpy as this DOA maid outfit and so, it seems more fitting of the distractingly horny 'Maiden of Black Water'

@GarethPetterwo1 @JezCorden Singleplayer games like spyro and crash bandicoot won't be on Nintendo so it's both sony and Nintendo. Microsoft is trying to be a monopoly,they know that sony and Nintendo can't compete with M$ money,the FTC and CMA knows and are trying to do their job and protect the gaming

@ThanksKirbyWiki maybe they just had problems converting them, we don't know if they still had the source code for the sound driver used in KSS (which was provided by nintendo, and they just edited it a bit to suit their needs)

@SpawnWaveMedia They ditch friend codes and just have you login with your Nintendo account as people praise Nintendo for finally not making things complicated.

@AndreSegers Even Nintendo’s first party games have problems and should be able to run at smoother Frame Rates… so even the argument of their own games are fine is false. Look at Breath of the wild, Age of Calamity, or even Xenoblade. They all have technical problems

@SpawnWaveMedia I can't believe I have to say backwards compatibility with current Switch titles. Feels like Nintendo is going down the games as a service route ever since they ditched the Virtual Console with Switch Online.

@GoNintendoTweet @CaptBurgerson Of course they need their most anticipated game to make use of their less valuble service. Nintendo want us all to buy it.

@didyouknowgamin Ok but what about all the trouble and harassment you had to go through? Looks like this cycle took 20 days, you deserve compensation from @NintendoAmerica and @YouTube needs to ensure the same, else there are no consequences to DMCA abuse by large corporations.

@Saviorz305 I think Nintendo needs to give them the time to do so! I think if they had more time the technical issues wouldn’t be there

@AndreSegers For me it's about the physical device at this point. Maybe mine's just that worn-out, but it's starting to feel a little clanky. Also, that joycon drift problem. It would be nice to see Nintendo address some of these things with new hardware. Also, the shop is sooo slooow...

Remember when the search function was so bad so publishers would put their games on sale for $0.01 to try and get any sales and to fix this issue nintendo just put the price minimum to $1.99. **** them for that.

@BlandrewYT Switch games don't look fine at all. Some first party games look good based on Nintendo vision for games but overall the visuals and performance isn't where it needs to be. This is a huge issue.

I hate getting connection errors while playing Smash online. Tho @Nintendo @NintendoDE WHY DO I GET A 1 HOUR PENALTY WHEN ITS CLEARLY NOT MY FAULT!

André
(@AndreSegers) reported
@SheikahBlight @RyDawgE_ That's fair. I'm not a big Pokemon guy so it didn't personally affect me. In any case, that game is a rare subpar performance issue from Nintendo and I'm not convinced its issues are entirely the fault of the hardware rather than being poorly optimized

it’s on.For most part it can be sometimes be people have terrible connection but not most of the time. This really hurts the game for the connection to be so ******, if Nintendo and the devs just took time to adjust the servers on the new online server grid then there no problem.

Why are Nintendo switch controllers and joycons so goddamn ****** I've never had such a common issue with drift in my entire life. Both of my joycons and 2 of my controllers have it. It's ridiculous.
