Suspicious stuff in Smash Ult (or lack thereof) No Crash spirits, Miis, anything No Astral Chain Mii (is now owned by Nintendo too) Travis/No More Heroes Mii is not from mainline games Waluigi - a notable character, still missing Feel like all of these were viable for the pass

@sevengranddad92 Sony and Nintendo have a colorful history that might point out as to why. That being said, there's no reason Crash and Spyro couldn't have gotten in aside from the recent criminal activity within Activision.

Being mainly a Nintendo Switch player, it feels awful to have 95% of new games coming basically as early access, then having to wait for patches that (hopefully) fix the game. Disco Elysium was my most awaited game for the Switch, then the reviews about perfs problems came in...

@myretrolifeshow @Nintendo They could do it through their switch online service. As a perk

@DoWhatYouDo6 @Puertorock77_ With nintendo tax games have been at that 70$ price since launch. In Canada a switch game is almost 100$ Idc how anyone spins it this **** aint right for a company that admitted they have problems making HD games

@Puertorock77_ Nintendo dudes crying about $70 gamea is hilarious. These guys let Nintendo charge them nearly $100 for cardboard, they let them charge them for an online service that barely works & needed a phone app for voice chat, they're silent on the Switch Online DLC being added too.

@pixelpar This is piracy but I also do not care because as much as I like Metroid and as much as I bought Dread Nintendo do not deserve sympathy or concern over piracy. Piracy, as always, is a service problem and Nintendo have bad service.

I think I bought my Nintendo Switch long after "Breath of the Wild" was out, when there weren't that many buzzworthy games announced at the time. That's why I had no problem getting one when "Travis Strikes Again" came out.

@nintendolife Not only does the NSO suck, but online play 2. The eShop is overblown with games that nobody wants. It's a second steam store. Steam has a problem taking everything, when it should be focused on quality. Same with nintendo. NSO drip feeds. N64 will suffer too.

@stranded_n1nja It looks good for a switch game. But that's not saying much IMO. Ive always has an issue since Nintendo stopped competing in the power ful console space.

(@VexAcer) reported
@TMCThomas00 @NintendoEurope No because it's just a straight emulation of the original. Changing the framerate introduces problems since a lot of logic is meant go be running at that original 20fps. Nintendo kept the slowdown in the NES SNES games, they'll prob do the same for N64.

@fractalcounty @NintendoAmerica oh no, now you'll have to buy another one and they lose literally nothing while you lose 300 dollars over a problem that can be fixed in like 3 minutes by anyone for nothing.

I'm doubling down on this Nintendo ****. I've had an issue with Nintendo not making powerful consoles since the Wii. Just one consumers opinion at the end of the day. "But they're an anomaly"

🔴 Buy a texture pack called Jolicraft HD which is 128x and when I activate it the program closes and says error. 🔵 I recommend not purchasing this version as it is infinitely inferior to others. (even on the phone is better)@MojangSupport @NintendoES @Nintendo

@OfficialAzyria @NintendoAmerica The pricing isn't my issue. Just being able to USE IT is my dam issue. I can't use Nintendo Online until it releases. My 1 week trial ends soon. I'm being driven crazy!

it means they ppl can buy on PC then transfer it back to Switch, probably breaking a contract with Nintendo since they won't see a cut. 3) It would require a full-out user account system which is a lot more trouble than you might think, and (3/5

OPTIMIZE THE VERSION OF NINTENDO SWITCH. 🔴I have an error that says I don't have more space on the console when I have more than 20GB free and it won't let me download marketplace packs. @MojangSupport @NintendoES

@SlyCooper4Smash @sevengranddad92 I think Sony has some obvious choices, but what's holding them back is Sony's relationship to Nintendo. Sly was my top pick, but Ratchet & Clank, Spyro, and Crash would've all been great.

@lead_creak I think its a fine service to go alongside of the relatively dogshit nintendo online tbh, if they massively increased the number of virtual consoles that exist along with made the online less **** and bumped up the price a bit it would be an ok buy

In my frustration to try and figure out why my new Switch was having issues I performed a factory reset forgetting that not every game supports cloud saves because Nintendo is a modern company. I had to check there, to see it with my own eyes. My pokemon save...

Emulation is fine, I emulate a lot of stuff, most of it being Nintendo because lol they are terrible at supporting legacy content. But sitting here and saying "pirating won't hurt this mega corp" is completely missing the point. Pirating a NEARLY DEAD SERIES is the problem.

@ActualAero Problem is that a OLED switch screen will deteriorate far quicker than the standard screen. Nintendo cheaped out with alot of the components for the switch, I doubt they're using good OLED anti screen burn in tech

@Johann01360049 @Nick_Marseil Every nintendo fan hates their ports there is literally no defending those old *** full priced POS. 60$ is a market price tho, its the standard, so i have absolutely no problems with NEW 60$ even 2d games but the ports are horrendous
