@SG212yt Oh absolutely, having free updates is a big positive. I'm just talking about the recent model Nintendo has been doing where a lot of games that have this model are released with underwhelming content. The free updates will fix it of course but nobody wants a barebones launch.

@Redgirl013 "For Nintendo games" See, that's the issue. Would fans just ignore if it wasn't by Nintendo? What makes the "dark" story element so special? Is it just cuz of a hollow contrast between upbeat/bleak? A good piece of media should be enjoyable, regardless of the company it came from

@TotallyPorff “Nintendo gaem bad because bad grafix” is obviously a dumb argument, but it’s undeniable that the Nintendo has significant performance issues starting all the way back in the Wii days.

And yes there's legitimate criticisms of Nintendo's insistence on using last gen hardware for as long as possible (switch hardware is really having trouble keeping up with ambitions of game devs) , but as long as people's having fun even in spite of the shortcomings...

Nah I wanna talk about the fact that my mom got 1500 to buy back to school stuff for my siblings but when it came to me I had to get everything on my own cause “money was an issue” they same siblings who have 3d printers, AirPods Pro’s, Nintendo switches, the new Xbox, and vr set

@TotallyPorff So I love Nintendo games, and the Switch is pretty much the only console I use, however Nintendo under powering their systems is legitimately becoming a problem. Breath of the Wild is spectacular, but it’s performance is inexcusable for a first party console title.

Having some trouble deciding on if I should get Monster Hunter Rise for PC or Nintendo Switch. So far I've heard the Switch has healthier player base but PC looks nicer. Any thoughts?

@MikeyJayRaymond @Colteastwood Which is still not majority, take two, square, capcom, nintendo, sega, WB, embracer, netease. Now they may allow a few of their games to go in a service once in a while but they have not adopted a sub model.

@TotallyPorff The fact that Nintendo consoles often have the worst version of many popular franchises has gotta hurt at least their e shop sales, if not console sales. They’ve at least a little dodged the console sales problem in a funny way tho.

@CocoaFox023 switch sports is definitely nowhere near nintendo's worst game, like sure its an unfinished live service game but like, its still a fully functional game, there are some nintendo games out there that genuinely suck and switch sports really isn't one if them

@FireBind2 @thicc_stick_boi I think phones are why Sony stopped the Portable, but I doubt it contributed to why the Vita flopped. The 3DS had its problems, but Nintendo corrected it (pricing). I know, I bought one at the high price, which is why my 3DS is registered as "ambassador".

@jinchiten Yeah like all the issues I have with nintendo's platform are assuaged by the fact that they only charge like four dollars.

@xyler94 @thicc_stick_boi Say what you want about Nintendo, but they are fantastic at handling their finances. If memory serves they could tank another decade of the WiiU's poor sales before getting in any trouble, and that's before they came back swinging with the Switch

@PlayerEssence @Skull_Kidsx If Nintendo games just all generally ran at a more consistant framerate and slightly higher resolution it would be fine. Are style aint the problem.

@IvanStoilov86 @normal_andy If memory serves correctly from the interview I read it only released to Amiga first because they wanted the Sega and Nintendo release at the same time and there were challenges with the Nintendo port. Snes version had performance issues

@shartgamiing The problem is when you’re always negative and lash out at other fans who may disagree, not necessarily the criticism itself. Nintendo’s not perfect, but they’re certainly not the worst. Not everybody has the tact to express their criticism properly, so it just causes trouble.

@NintendoAmerica Please fix the bug that doesn’t allow units to wear their unique outfits in mounted classes. It’s so irritating to see ignatz, bernadetta, and Hilda not be able to use their unique outfits as playable units, but as NPC units they can? Like wtf

The customer service at @NintendoUK is both diabolical and self defeating. I bought the wrong version of a game, wanted to buy the more expensive version, and they won’t refund me so that I can. Haven’t played or even downloaded the game! Stupid policy—and so customer-unfriendly.

@TheLarry98 @tokyo_mirage @NintendoUK overall it depends on the technical choices made from the start, if those are ****** (like Wii/U, 3/DSi), only the wellfare will continue service, unless there's a binding contract. There's enough explanation on the topic around the webs. Nintendo finally needs to enter

@Nyanja_Cat It's very impressive and does look authentic but nintendo would never risk that many crying children who actually had an authentic copy but had a system error or smth
