dan (@dan_kotsu) reported@realimjustkey It depends on your taste. My problem is Nintendo and how they treat their consumers I'm not supporting that. But at same time I'm not a hypocrite we all have **** we love and end up supporting which indirectly someone ****** up involved doing shady ****
-
Burke (@burke7187) reportedI have much less of an issue with a game like this being $80 than a Nintendo game that could have been made two gens ago and that has a much smaller team and dev cycle. It's just where the industry is going.
-
TempestWolfVT (@tempestwolfvt) reported@retro_cheater @ArtistNcs That's a good decision too. I should've stated *as of now* but then again, Nintendo never did fix the drift for the original Switch either so we'll have to play the waiting game to see what they do. We can only hope for the best.

whitemonkey1 (@babywhitemonkey) reportedincredibly pathetic QC of nintendo for having battery issues this early ...

lindsay (@zeglerverse) reportedmlb the show friends: so i am STILL getting disconnected from online gaming despite going into my internet firewall and opening all the ports customer service told me to. i'm so stuck, someone pls help me bc they wont help me any more than that. i have a nintendo switch
-
Weeb Fiend (@Unfiend_17) reported@LucarioSplat2 I have the same issue. Not just Ninjala, but other games too on Nintendo Switch 2.
-
Uni's Top Guy (@mallowcard) reported@Apexpredatory1 @kirux_alternat3 Nintendo would charge you 200 dollars for garbage, and you pigs will eat it like slop from a trough. If you had any standards at all, we wouldn't have any issues.
-
LovelessDogg (@Loveless_Dogg) reported@Grummz Are you really going to ignore the games that have been priced at $100+ the past few years because you just plain want to jump onto the hate bandwagon for attention? There’s been years of this high price but suddenly now it’s an issue because Nintendo.
-
ShaggyMH (@xHrdcoreShaggyx) reported@CHARMERS96 I think the **** reality is the games were gonna be 80 whether Nintendo did it or not. We need a industry crash like yesterday
-
Untold Podcast & Nathan James Norman (@UntoldPodcast) reported@8BitDo heads up, Nintendo updated the Switch 1 again and the "USB Wireless Adapter 2" is not working... Again. The system recognizes a controller but the controller won't function. (Buttons and directionals do not register). And I just updated to the latest firmware
-
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
-
PSI_Mae 🍉 (@PSI_MaeOmega) reported@Pirat_Nation Nintendo wasn’t the issue: the Pokemon company was
-
Xanek ザンネク (@AznXanek) reported@CONEY Idk i spent 3 hours just roaming the open world and found quite a bit of random stuff, I dont think its particularly a problem with this game. (Other Nintendo open worlds tho...) Music is the best part of the game tho by far.
-
ConnorOhOne (@ConnorOhOne) reported@Alfredo_Toons @makio_jroses I understand the difference, GameFreak codes while Nintendo publishes, not even accounting for Creatures Inc’s third of the ownership. The problem is that on average there’s a new set of pokemon mainline games every 3 years, not accounting everything else like sidegames & (1/2)
-
TeeJ Tech (@Big__TeeJ) reportedMy biggest issue with Mario Kart costing $80 is that Nintendo games in general just don't come down in price with time like everything else does. It being an $80 game is a significantly more impactful situation than the outer worlds 2 simply because the other worlds 2 will likely be on sale for half price within a year or two and that's just not going to happen with Mario Kart. 5 years from now it's going to cost you a hell of a lot more to buy World Mario Kart World then it will outer worlds 2.

jorts!✨ (@BBC0RPSE) reported@ThnhNamPhan3 i see it because i go looking for sanrio products and quickly notice a few weeks later, theyre gone. because they got copyrighted, meaning they had to change products to avoid it becoming a financial issue. it happened a few years ago with nintendo copyrighting ppl lmfao.

Cass 💜 (@perfectcrimes_) reportedi think nintendo heard everyone wanting mkwii's glitch techs again and responded with legal glitch techs in mkworld bc no way is THIS possible for any other reason
-
Ryan | 🇬🇧 🇳🇱 🇪🇺| ❤️🇺🇦 | 🖕🇷🇺 (@radicalbyte) reportedChina put DRM in Solar panels... the way to attack this is a blanket ban on any kind of remote-activated DRM. Not just China, but Nintendo, John Deere, all sorts of companies do this. It needs to stop as it's a national security issue.
-
2Bpie (@taskarimasta_) reported@AG_Gobstopper You're right. I don't have a principle, a rule I apply to every company. And I have absolutely broken this standard with other companies, probably without even knowing. This is specifically against Nintendo, and I should probably apologize for making it wider than that.
-
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.
-
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.
-
sho (@desmosaddict) reportedcrazy how nintendo didnt fix any of the issues people complained about with the switch 1 when releasing the switch 2
-
Trey_Dizzle (@Trey_Dizzle45) reported@KirPinkFury I've had 0 problems plus Nintendo will fix or replace for free
-
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.
-
Head-ZonkStudios (@HeadZonkStudios) reported@Grummz I'm more concerned with Nintendo's decaying business practices. The empty cartridges, the increasing service fees, and mistreatment of talent is what's turning me off.
-
In Vino Veritas (@Amor_Lasciviae) reportedAs someone that owns multiple enthusiast level PCs, you can't overcome the hardware gap in a compact system. My issue is that Nintendo didn't make up for it anywhere else. They didn't integrate an onboard SD card for more storage on top of the slot. Increased prices though.
-
Daniel (@DanielJoonge17) reported@sthetixofficial Updated to the newest Version with no problems. Before updating I tried to launch OFW which failed (I never use it), then launched Semi-Stock and updated online through Nintendo Servers. Got the new HATS-Pack, SYSmmc was already on newest Version, only had to update Emummc Thanks
-
Kyle James Olson (@KyleJamesOlson) reported@badlydrawnwott @FerrisWheelPro Fix me, because I was the biggest Nintendo fan until around 2019. I bought switch 1 day one. I came home disappointed playing 3 player Mario kart. On my 4k tv it looked so bad. Then the N64 online came out and was worse than emulators on my PC. I was done with the crap.
-
Kamen Gamer Retro (@KamenGamerRetro) reported@Pirat_Nation people just going to ignore the poor frame rate in the trailer? Game Freak is still part of the problem here, its also not just Nintendo. I feel people dont get what cycle Pokemon as a whole has put itself in.
-
Khem Wright (@_Rondo5) reported@GameOverThirty Ignoring what console warriors would say, I think it's an issue of messaging and marketing. Nintendo and Sony are extremely clear about what they're selling, what you're buying, and what it does. Microsoft launched the "This is an XBOX" branding to help the message...we'll see.
