@DislexicPotato @Dasmesee1 @theRealJayDub2 Yeah most PS gamers don't like rental services even if you can still buy the games at a discount. I mean i would trash PSnow and wont care. I dont aee value in renting. Nintendo and sony is on top without relying on a service and this is a fact

@DrMaddWorld I think the biggest issue is Nintendo is so strict with their IPs. I saw someone mention that the LEGO Mario ismy minifigures because then you could make Mario do whatever you want, like hold a gun lmao

@RealShelfy We thought we had server problems last year just 1v1? Now throw in Nintendo Switch and 3v3. It'll be great.

@tainkirrahe This exactly. I have never been a graphics person, sure it helps with immersion, but we had no problem with that when we were playing original Nintendo. Gameplay and Story add up to make a much better experience in my mind then graphics.

This has been happening for years and your argument has no backing considering the majority of income issues are controlled solely by Nintendo themselves and their treatment of their employees. Using pathos to try and win an argument might help, but only if you have a good point.

////STORYTIME//// So a few weeks ago I said I wanted to send my joy cons to nintendo cuz they were drifting all the time and I thought they'd fix it for free, well heck no lol. They wanted me to pay 20 bucks so I denied and they sent them back. Then another week later- 1/2

@TVsBen @ramenlukako @Voultar Oh, I agree the placement, combined with its smaller than normal size is the issue. The actual part though, is fine. It's just an example of nintendo doing some cost cutting, by reusing a part, which is something they've always done.

@HMKilla As someone who's accidentally broken his Nintendo Switch's screen then had to get it fixed yeah Nintendanium is a myth with this system in my opinion Nintendo really used to much hard plastic for the system OOF.

@nron10 Nintendo Land is great, but when you think about how much money someone would have to spend to get the most out of it you realize the problem. But yeah, I'd love more Nintendo Land.

@Mikhailovic1 There was supposed to be a Donkey Kong game by now developed externally with Nintendo oversight, but the project fell apart and that's when (if the rumors are true) Nintendo moved Donkey Kong internally. So DK has had the problem of having a game scrapped and restarted!

I'm not defending Nintendo here, but it seems silly when people are like, "They could solve the evergreen sales problem by lowering the price of their games," and, while I agree with them, I think Nintendo is thinking, "We sold 40 million copies of MK8D without doing that"

@Gebirges @IGN This is either because Nintendo is a very user friendly company who doesn't want to split their playerbase online or because their software engineers are too lazy/dumb to know how to without breaking their already broken online service

Their purchase is still counted in the sales figures. Another thing to blame in my opinion is most definitely the "launch broken, fix later" model that a lot of games are able to get away with for some reason. Something like Nintendo switch sports announcing a free update...A

@Jorden1506 Nintendo has always had an aversion to everything that's not a complete standalone package for an upfront purchase price. A subscription service is a nice way to deliver DLC without confronting players with "yeah you need to pay extra for this". I expect more of this.

@S3PH1RO7H @odd_tones @KirbyKid__ When you mod the Switch you have two OSs. A custom one you keep offline at all times to be safe (even just pinging Nintendo servers will get console banned), and the Stock OS that you can use normally/online and they can't detect you're modded. I haven't had an issue after 1 year

@Chris_Dring I can see Nintendo actually use their warchest to purchase company outside gaming more than simply gaming business. Just check their gaming income, their merchandising and mobile income is quite bad vs their main business. Solving those problem should be their main focus.
