@ShinyFurret162 @JezCorden Irrelevant. I want better graphics natively, an actually working online system, 60fps standard, and more current gen bonuses. A legitimate dedicated home console would slap so hard with their IPs. But Nintendo refuses. Gamefreak is an issue, but imagine a stronger console.

@LonelyGoomba @IGN It's a nice artstyle that nintendo is more than likely never going to revisit. Games like bug fables "copy" paper mario and get praised for it. I don't see the issue.

@PeerIGN @HoegLaw Even if all original assets Nintendo can still drag them into court to prove it via lawsuit as I understand it. This is not a risk any dev should take. Period. Even if legit the backlash and potential for legal issues are daunting to say the least.

@Reliving_Retro @Retro_Graders Sony: B First Party Single player games feel overblown at times Nintendo: A FP games are diverse in art style and memorable Microsoft: B Great service for budget gaming Sega: B- Atlus and Dotemu keeping them afloat Atari: F Have nothing going on currently to get people to talk.

After the last of the current N64 games, I hope Nintendo adds Wetrix to the service somehow.

@illSuga @suprkawaii Yes send them to Nintendo. All free and if they can’t fix it they replace your entire controller. Actually pretty fast too! Like within a week

@Toadsanime The only problem I have with this whole situation is that they are not launching on Switch. This is a PS5/PC game. I’m sure they know the fans of Link’s Awakening are on Switch, and have secured a hefty bag from Sony to keep it away from Nintendo.

@So_Ethereal The main issue I have with a few switch ports was that random bug where games would randomly crash. But thats not the issue of the hardware but the software. The port job isn't perfect and is later patched. But every port this issue seems to keep coming up. nintendo support devs?

@BlizzardCS hi team! Is there an issue with auth RN? I tried launching D2R on my Switch, got the “Failed to Authenticate” error. Tried disconnecting and relinking my Nintendo account while troubleshooting and I’m getting a 500 error. Help! :)

@64iOS God I ******* hate the manchildren that worship nintendo. Try getting 30 overpriced botched ports that fans have to work on for months in order to fix every single time one is **** out you ****** crybabies

@ARobotJoe @Faliznumber @AL_theBoi My problem is not criticism or that it is from Nintendo. My problem is that the story is even worse than Forces, that half of the levels are made up of blocks and that the 2D platforming is insufferable, which accounts for like 80% of the experience.

@itsJoshualive @JuiceMan_V @ShadowFoxArche I only have a problem with it since Nintendo is doing a loophole thing and keeping them on as if they’re full time employees, but don’t give them the benefits

I honestly kinda agree here, right now our pokemon that are not in any of the switch games are being held at ransome by gamefreak/Nintendo since we gotta pay a subscription to use the home service, alot of pokemon have not been used since ultra sun and moon.

(@bandicootpage) reported
@leorio2910 The majority of the target audience for Crash Bandicoot is on Playstation and Nintendo plus the franchise is already multi platform. Without that audience they can`t grow the franchise. Xbox doesn`t have any kind of platformer audience so long term Crash will be on PS5 and Switch

@PlayStationUK Consoles are just that. They're nothing special. I don’t know why Sony, Microsoft and Nintendo just won't allow gamers open access or ability to save and transfer saves or allow online free of charge. It's bad enough we can't FIT our consoles if a part is broken. 1/2

@MohammedsUser @Carminethe5th @VGC_News I'm not American. And again, if the American government were buying a piece of Nintendo I wouldn't like it. It's nothing to do with Saudi people - it's the Saudi government that's the issue.

Gamefreak/Nintendo need to address the pokedex issue even if its just letting us use them without them being on the dex like XY, Sun and moon. So yeah, if pokemon scarlet and violet do not support any pokemon that are currently unable to be used at this time I feel like I myself-

@samstolgia @HEYimHeroic I'm actually not sure how I can respond to this. I kinda disagree despite having a lot of problems with the Nintendo Switch. A lot of games on the Nintendo Switch are good, but it's just Nintendo Online and the lack of Nintendo charm overall that's pulling it down I think.

@ShinyFurret162 @JezCorden That's the issue. I want their games, but in much better visuals. If I could play their 1st party on my Series X with amazing upgrades, I'd pay $80 each. Let nintendo have a switch, but also put out something on par with today's standards.

@hawaiinguy808 Most of the time I would agree with the Nintendo system & service style being an outdated practice but their games on the other hand are still incredibly fun
