-
In Vino Veritas (@Amor_Lasciviae) reportedAs someone that owns multiple enthusiast level PCs, you can't overcome the hardware gap in a compact system. My issue is that Nintendo didn't make up for it anywhere else. They didn't integrate an onboard SD card for more storage on top of the slot. Increased prices though.
-
Chimo Chills (@ChillsChimo) reported@NintendoAmerica Broken Game focused on Wokeness...... *yawn*
-
eta fita (@FitaEta) reported@aszeroth @Nintendo i really don’t see the issue. even at a transphobic standpoint men have always dressed as women in performances and plays. This is no different in my eyes. So most peoples points crumble really easily
-
Zylo WolfBane (@ZyloWolfBane) reported@Kneon The main issue is with Nintendo their first party games rarely go on sale.
-
Kitastrophe (@Kitastrophe_Ra) reportedNintendo claims the Switch 2 Joy-Cons are built from the ground up—but stick drift is still a problem. They literally copied the internal design. Clearly, the only lesson they took from past consoles is that people will keep paying to replace broken controllers/Joy-Cons. #Gaming #Switch2 #NintendoSwitch2

JustSomeRandomGamer (@jsrg_1) reported@seafairyservant @CaseyPhotoz @soniccobra951 WAIT EVERYONE I HAVE FOUND A FIX If u own switch 2 ver of deltarune u get the switch 1 version free!!!! Enter the download code that target provided to Nintendo website to get switch 2 version anyway. Then go to Nintendo’s page for deltarune (switch 1) it should say free download
-
LovelessDogg (@Loveless_Dogg) reported@Grummz Are you really going to ignore the games that have been priced at $100+ the past few years because you just plain want to jump onto the hate bandwagon for attention? There’s been years of this high price but suddenly now it’s an issue because Nintendo.
-
Impreza_939 (@Impreza_Star) reported@Xamoel @sonic_hedgehog If it happens, I hope Crash and Spyro come out on other platforms, and what about PlayStation and Nintendo characters?
-
Pixel (@pixelluma) reported@NintendoAmerica Oh boy, I see trouble brewing!
-
Lord Kardok (@LordKardok) reportedMy opinion on the Switch 2 has changed... slightly. The EULA problems have been clarified and we now have a better understanding of what we are agreeing on. I still don't like the notion that you can't sue Nintendo for anti-consumer practices, but you do, in fact, own the system.

Onik Dovahkiin (@ODovahkiin) reportedMan, where to start... Are you aware that you can buy games on Xbox as well? They even give you 20% discount for being a Game Pass patron. As for the second half... Xbox makes between 400 to 500 million dollars per month. That's half a billion for average monthly revenue per user. 1 billion every 2 months is stupid money. Also, they have stated numerous times that GP is profitable. Why do you think they doubled and trippled down on it? Now they're making more money by selling on PS stores yes. But I already have IRL buddies jumping ships to PC or Xbox just for Game Pass alone. The service is ridiculously good. Now with an Xbox handheld OTW it's getting crazier with PC exclusive peeps jumping on board. Some of ya'll aren't seeing what Xbox is doing atm, they're literally infiltrating other platforms. And that's not good as well. It will create a monopoly one day. Look at the attached pictures btw. Xbox studios published 11 games this year (Team Ninja is the outlier), Sony studios only 2 on my count so far (Sucker Punch and Bungie is the outlier here). Where do you think Xbox is getting all this money pumping out games at this magnitude? Only Nintendo holds true exclusives. The days of traditional consoles died a year or 2 ago. And this is sad.
-
Tobi Adeyinka (@AdeyinkaRotimi1) reported@Chris_Dring I fully expect them to launch a streaming only service or subscription for TVs and stuff in the future if adoption starts gaining traction. But they will do everything to ensure that 30% is still very lucrative on their own platform and not give it others. Nintendo will be well..
-
Bull2Bear438 (@BBear438) reported@Nintendeal It's basically an Xbox controller, dude. Why not give the respect to Xbox. They made Nintendo and Playstation fix their lanky controller designs by make the prototype controller.
-
DoNotArgue (@DoNotArgueWit) reported@Spectre799games This is not a "byproduct of Nintendo" I noticed the issue with a lot of you ****** here online is that you run with your personal opinions and run that as if it's facts
-
SuhjAmesNSane 💀 (@SuhJamesNsane) reported@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.
-
Uni's Top Guy (@mallowcard) reported@Apexpredatory1 @kirux_alternat3 Nintendo would charge you 200 dollars for garbage, and you pigs will eat it like slop from a trough. If you had any standards at all, we wouldn't have any issues.
-
Keiichi Morisato (@keiichimorisato) reported@Moondog8679 @J_ROOST @Nintendo 3D isn't that much cheaper, its actually more expensive. The problem is that most adults won't see a 2D animated film, but are willing to see a 3D animated film instead.
-
MegamanNG (@MegamanRA) reported@antdude92 I'm not surprised. Nintendo has a major shovelware problem. They allow this game to be on the eShop and yet games like Neptunia Re;birth, Menhera Farm and others are denied. Know what I call this? Hypocrisy.
-
Kirbei (@kirbyl0vesan1me) reported@MucharV @ShadowzPaine @Nintendo That’s the thing about these triggered troons. They project their problems onto you with pathetic insults then block you
-
whitemonkey1 (@babywhitemonkey) reportedNintendo Switch ² brand new already encountered battery swelling issues..
-
Gamer2Gamers (@G2GFounder) reported@PlayStation and @Nintendo are in trouble. 😬
-
2Bpie (@taskarimasta_) reported@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.
-
whitemonkey1 (@babywhitemonkey) reportedincredibly pathetic QC of nintendo for having battery issues this early ...
-
How-to Gaming (@how_togaming) reported@Allkiller87 @CJsDiarry @Dexerto So am I. Mario Kart World is so fun. This guy will just stay bored, it’s a personal problem at this point. He and all of the other haters protests on Switch 2 and Nintendo have failed, as reports are saying that 3 million Switch 2s were moved to consumers hands on launch day
-
Kyle James Olson (@KyleJamesOlson) reported@badlydrawnwott @FerrisWheelPro Fix me, because I was the biggest Nintendo fan until around 2019. I bought switch 1 day one. I came home disappointed playing 3 player Mario kart. On my 4k tv it looked so bad. Then the N64 online came out and was worse than emulators on my PC. I was done with the crap.
-
TwoWords (@chickagucc) reported@cryptochic0x @kirawontmiss If a grown man is playing Nintendo Switch he needs a Dr visit. Probably has a myriad of problems. Low Test, hormone disruption, obesity, depression...
-
Charles d'Espagne (@hispanrex) reported@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.
-
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?
-
Epicness (@ABitofEpicness) reportedOkay, im genuinely getting pissed off @NintendoAmerica Pikmin 3 Deluxe is broken on your system. Its not even just crashes its literal visual bugs that are borderline seizure inducing Care to explain how a glorified Wii U game ran better on the Switch than its successor ?????
-
TempestWolfVT (@tempestwolfvt) reportedIf 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.
