-
Ezequiel (@AburridoMort) reported@MyNutsAreHuuge @nahuacapital @Nick_Marseil The same thing happened to me, but I only pay for one service. Game Pass, Xbox, Nintendo, and PC are the way to go.
-
D2 (@babano22) reported@tash__i @jukins5 @pushsquare The switch 2 is selling faster then the PS5 and switch 1 were selling at launch 💀 No, Nintendo themselves confirmed they shipped enough units so they wouldn't have issues with stocks.
-
SonicXatles MustardSexual💋 ARC (@SonicXatles) reported@Xtremeisthebest @Pirat_Nation Nintendo is doing the LEAST. thats the problem. Nintendo runs pokemon btw, they have some say in how it works & the funding for it. if the game is *** we can blame the runners of the pokemon series but its also owned by Nintendo who oversees it, some fault is on them
-
CyberQueenAlice (@CyberQueenAlice) reportedNintendo 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

Dc88 (@Dc88__) reported@NintendoAmerica Fix your cheating AI because it's too obvious
-
Buhnug🏳️⚧️ (@buhnug) reportedProbably not a broken move but one time when one of my English teachers brought in her Nintendo switch to play games and we played ssbu I played as snake and just spammed his crouching Jab and somehow it was just able to beat them, the only counterplay they found was to play Ness
-
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.
-
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.
-
Alfredo Toons (@Alfredo_Toons) reported@ConnorOhOne @makio_jroses I don't understand how or why Nintendo would impose a deadline, especially considering they are known for delaying their own games if they don't meet their standards. If you can't understand the difference between The Pokémon Company and Nintendo then you are part of the problem.
-
ChiefBee (@johnditty321) reported@GameSpot Will cost $89.99 to sign in to your account through the Nintendo server
-
SuhjAmesNSane 💀 (@SuhJamesNsane) reported@daPRGamer @ChipznStix @WolfgangMishima Definitely less of a Hardware issue when You see what other games can look like on Switch. Must be a time thing. Nintendo trying to get them to churn out a new one like it's COD.
-
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
-
Crumbd (@TheCrumbd) reportedThe 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
-
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.
-
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
-
Craig"CAPTURED on PS5 "Harris (@CraigHarris456) reported@nortonsflyer @DoWhatYouDo6 Yes, b/c it doesn't. Nintendo and Sony don't have the same issue that MS had, however Sony has the Business meeting in a few days, so have to wait and see what they are going to do.
-
VC (@VC_GamingYT) reported@Nintendo @NintendoAmerica the switch 2 is cool and all, but PLEASE fix the gamecube adapter disconnection problem please!! My controller disconnects after an hour-ish of gameplay
-
Games Awesome (@jabdsqksnb11857) reported4/ 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
-
Mr Topps Card (@MrToppsCard) reported@uniformcritic They're designed to stand out. They sure do. Look at the TD one in Toronto or the Nintendo one in Seattle. No amount of complaining will fix it. They're awful and they're here to stay.
-
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. #Gaming #Switch2 #NintendoSwitch2

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.

Cloudy (@CloudyBRM) reported@charlieINTEL @ethangach That’s the issue facing Microsoft is the cost issue for handhelds with x86 cpus, that at lower power burgers are not as efficient as ARM. To put console games on arm, the whole code needs to be compiled for arm from x86. Nintendo has been the biggest pioneer of ARM gaming.
-
BloodyRipley 🎧⭕️ (@red047x) reported@L337L4K3 I just think Xbox clearly doesn’t care about exclusivity and is going to put their games everywhere. Gears going to ps made that even more clear to me. Problem is I don’t see Nintendo or ps doing that to Xbox lol
-
Grok (@grok) reportedNathan, battery calibration can help fix inaccurate charge indicators on the Nintendo Switch, as Nintendo and tech guides like iFixit confirm. It ensures the device displays the correct battery level but doesn't improve actual battery life or fix degradation. Your advice may mislead if presented as a universal fix, as Void suggests. Here's a disclaimer for your video: "Battery calibration corrects inaccurate charge displays but won't enhance battery capacity or fix a degraded battery. For persistent issues, consider replacement per Nintendo's guidelines." This clarifies the method's scope and limitations.

Destiny Shae (@ohbiscuits90) reported@FortniteStatus Please help fix the FPS and lag on Nintendo Switch 😭😭
-
Dave UVA (@dave_uva) reported@Grummz I don't think $80 Nintendo games are the biggest problem. Remember how much N64 games cost? The problem to me is that Nintendo never discounts their games. Older games never go down in price. That's so greedy and evil. I hate it.
-
Gamer2Gamers (@G2GFounder) reported@PlayStation and @Nintendo are in trouble. 😬
-
Colin Von Kolin (@grimes314) reported@RealLifeFakeWiz If yall can skip fomo these games will be $20 in a year. But Nintendo? Yeah Mario karts gonna be $80 come 2030. Nintendo is the problem here and any other answer is wrong.

Diaily (@DiailyDarudas) reported@pory_leeks So the big ******* problem with pokemon games are with Nintendo making gamefreak push out shovelware games.
