  @BigGreyDonut Imo at this point MS should just drop Gold. Make online play free (which could be a huge bonus compared to ps and Nintendo, which require spending money for online play) and go all in on Gamepass. They don't need a second service next to GP at this point im9

  I remember back in 2017 folks were saying that 3D platformers not made by Nintendo being $40 was going to be the norm. But with Crash 4, Sackboy’s big adventure and now Balan Wonder World they’re now being charged for $60.

  1.) Shiggy still seems to hang on to the "video games are toys" mentality in a lot of ways. One of the biggest reasons the NES survived in the post-video game crash market of the mid 80s was because Nintendo had decades of experience making and marketing toys (hence ROB). 2/13

  I wonder if any of Nintendo's higher-ups have ever even played any of their games online. Am I supposed to believe they've played Smash Ultimate or Mario Maker 2 online, experienced the abysmal lag, and thought it was fine? Maybe they just push the blame on people w/out ethernet.

  @houseflippersim had the game on the @NintendoUK Switch since the first week of ‘21 and it crashes when you purchase one of the big houses and now it’s not even starting and just crashes on loading screen. Please fix 😭😭😭

  @PhilPhorever it was marketed really poorly. I don't think Nintendo knew what it was, was the real issue

  @wisalallen I have issues with the switch because I dont personally agree with Nintendo policies but I understand this I lean on PC gaming for the same reasons man give Outwards a try if my poor communication skills didnt put you off it's nice one

  When it comes to joy-con lawsuits, they have my full support. Nintendo has ripped me off 3 times so far, and for them to say 'It's really not a major problem' is beyond stupid. I'm tired of them trying to dodge lawsuits, own up to your mistakes Nintendo...but we know you won't.

  @TimoClaeys @NintendoAmerica Oh absolutely, my issue isn't with this photo in particular. In general I think it would be nice to use a few of the more basic photographic principles to compose images however. The N64 game drove me NUTS when oak would tell me my well composed shots were bad though.

  @maladargaming everyone just out here trying to resell, it was same with ps3,ps4, money talks, same with reseller in shoe game. the fact that people are willing to pay is the problem. i sold like 10x nintendo switch during the pandemic for around $450 each.

  @dagger6art Crash Bandicoot Now probably more than before. Playstation seems to have become way more realistic, darker and movie like compared to Nintendo. When I got Crash 4 my reaction was "Oh my god they're using colours!"

  @AsylaTV completely delete AC and the save off it, reboot and try the transfer again? nintendo systems can have issues transfering local sometimes, its the same wifi chip used as wireless but they are talking to each other

  @AbnormalAdept @TeriosHedgebat @TeamAkaneia It absolutely is about Nintendo's portion, which has to be 100%. And since the whole point of Slippi is giving away an improved version for free (and making Patreon money off of that), it's infringement. But don't act like this guy asking to give $7 is a problem

  @weils0 We use official Nintendo components as the base, though do offer a repair service to address drift.

  @edismoon @Wario64 Yeah the main problem with female corrin is that she was amazon only. Which nintendo did drop and start making more to meet the demand, they even reprinted the harder to find ones like bowser jr recently.

  @SecretSilvio yea but if my internet meets the standards to play in why do i have to take the L? maybe its a nintendo issue maybe its distance nobody knows unless the detector clearly states its someone dropping crazy packets

  PC Elitist (@PcElitist__) reported 50 minutes ago

  @NintendoAmerica PC and the PCMR came out insanely polished, with 0 broken promises, a bold and unique plot and its never defended by people NINTENDO is riddled with broken promises, unfinished concepts, bugs bugs bugs everywhere, subpar visuals on consoles widely defended by an army of shills

  @WUT_Woomer Yeah but it's never done this to me before I've heard stuff about Nintendo servers being garbage but I never experienced problems this servere ever since I started playing Splatoon after the most recent splatfest

  Wow, I didn't realize Nintendo is facing 5 different lawsuits for their joycon and pro controller drift issues. That's kind of serious, and strangely unlike Nintendo to have so many quality control complaints, right?
