@SHARKZ416 But on the DS, it was free. That’s the point that you seem to be missing here. We are PAYING for a bad connection. I get a better online connection out of free Indie games than I do out of Nintendo’s online service. If that isn’t horrible, I don’t know what is

@TruScottishGuy Yes, literally nobody is saying they aren’t. What I’m saying is out of all the companies, Nintendo is arguably the worst, because they charge for a service so ridiculously far below everything else. Again, they have the objectively worst service. Not that I pay for online anymore

@RatRunner48 @elliotduby The same thing was basically said for any third party character in Smash. Nintendo either pays up or made some deal with the IP owner (given the C418 licensing issues for Steve, the ladder is more likely). Barriers don't necessarily rule out Sora, though he's probably not in.

I feel like a story-based series would really only focus on the most popular nintendo first parties and not really be able to do a lot with third parties or just generally more obscure or story-light series, problems you don't get with a comedy show

@ElH3l4d0 This is not a problem of the Brawlhalla community, is a problem with the whole gaming community in general. Being a Nintendo gamer I kinda expect these comments at this point, but it doesn't mean it won't bother me

@jhous71 I don’t think it will be one sided like I don’t think it is GamePass coming to Switch maybe XCloud service in some capacity maybe certain Bethesda games and help Nintendo get a more reliable streaming service through Azure!

@jhous71 Gamepass on Switch would be the return on Microsoft's end: getting access to more potential subscribers on Nintendo's platform. It's not like it's a free service.

@ArgosHelpers I also have a problem whereby I need to locate a purchase but I don't know under which order it was made! It was for a pair of neon Nintendo Swith joycons.

@AXIOMS_OF_FATE @GamerForeverrrr @HardcoreMetal89 I can see that as true across all platforms, but I don’t have any numbers to confirm that. Still tho, more people buy games on PlayStation and Nintendo consoles compared to Xbox consoles, and Game Pass [which can be seen as a rental service or glorified demo service] helps [cont]

@ippotismos my issue isn't with artists getting their dollar, we can know they draw hentai elsewhere. it's when it's like borderline lewd and/or impractical anatomy on women (and straight up lol*con gaze on manaketes). your horny on main is showing in a teen rated nintendo game.

@TofuStoreDrift Nintendo: we will now offer n64 games but it will be part of the new nintendo online sub service. Nintendo online+ that is $60 a year.

I had the same problem with the N64 I dont actually remember having one of those I think I was too young to be aware of all of the systems available at the time I do remember having a super nintendo

@Animemaster51 @AVGN82 @kunaiss Games have always been around 70 since the 80's. Back then not every game costed 60-65, most games had their own price choice going up to 100. It's 5 extra damn dollars. Nintendo paying for a ****** online service that ain't worth a dime. But yall happy to get bent over by them

nintendo can hire a lot of people, and retain them, and let them experiment and tweak stuff for years, and drop projects if they're not working out, and none of this activity threatens the financial stability of the company because they have a huge bag of money. indies don't

Nintendo needs to fix the joycons like damn ***** they're expensive as **** but they're like 20 dollar controllers if they were burnt and thrown off a ******* cliff

@andrearene I could be misremembering but I feel this is an issue in more Nintendo games than we realize sometimes.

@32DaCrow @NintendoAmerica Haven’t had that issue with either of my PS5 controllers. I’ve had mine since launch. Come to think of it, none of my PlayStation controller have ever messed up. Couple of 360 controllers though. But replacing three sets for the same switch console, that’s too many.

Nintendo games don't really scratch that diversity itch and tbh that's fine since I knew what I was getting into and they've got other issues but their games are amazing blah blah But they're actually patting themselves on the back for it?? Bruh. Samus alone can't carry you

@eszzz @sleepy___head It was, and was also debunked months ago. Google Analytics is just a platform Nintendo can use to more easily analyse data, and they give you the option to opt out if you don't like your data being touched by a Google service. There's no 'spying for advertising' here lmao

@CGCentralHD98 @str8fromva1 @NextGenPlayer No, it’s not. It’s saying that within PS5’s market, Sony is the only first party company with these kinds of pricing issues. Nintendo shouldn’t do $60 crappy remasters. I own a switch but I’m not gonna buy that either. Two wrongs don’t cancel each other out.
