nintendo direct predictions -- pokemon stadium on Switch Online will still not have transfer support which means everyone emulates it anyway instead of buying a "premium" service

@FDAKenna @MaxLWright Biggest problem for me is Nintendo games either give 100s of hours of content or about 5 with no in-between

@ramihaidafy @nintendolife If all you care about in your games is graphical fidelity, then don’t play Nintendo games. I agree about Scarlet/Violet, but that isn’t a switch problem, it’s a lazy developer problem

@kristophe_alex @defnot_broccoli @CentroLeaks Also add the fact that Nintendo rarely, if ever, puts their games on sale, making the $70 even less justified. Although delusional fans are part of the problem too.

@PushDustIn Then how come people are still having trouble buying games often then? And so many games namely Nintendo ones are still full price, ergo overpriced, like the Wii U ports and such.

@Justinlololol2 Its not really Nintendo's fault for SV being a broken mess idk why you keep bringing it up cause other games are pretty well optimized. Also Steamdeck is a whole different thing than the switch. You buy Switch to play Nintendo games and Switch to emulate or run PC games

@CMAgovUK If Sony doesn't have the means to stay on the market, it's right that they step aside, that's how competition works. see Nokia or SErvice GAmes, which Sony itself helped sweep awaytmr! and Sony has always forced Nintendo to make only laptops in order not to disappear.

i hope Nintendo wont charge 70 usd for Zelda Totk like fo real at that price for a game on such a old hardware, that's a stupid move. i dont see problem if everyone just pirate it, heck i would implore people to do so.

As controlling as Sony and Nintendo are when it comes to their platforms, they’re not the reason behind Microsoft being unable to make a Halo or Gears game that people are actually pleased with! Microsoft buying Call of Duty isn’t gonna fix that, either!

@NintendoAmerica has no right selling games for $70 that still resemble game cube era games on a console that’s 6 years old. You want $70? Give me an internet service in my game from 2023, not 2010. Give me at least some 1440p game play. A bad Nintendo direct it will be.
-

(@TheFurstrument) reported
@Hutch2MuchOwO Furthermore, in five years, TotK will still cost $70. Because Nintendo typically doesn't slash prices for older titles, this compounds the issue and increases the perception of it being out of greed. Which it indubitably is considering their business practices.

@MrViceKC @MldGhost @OGG1993 Nintendo were happy to accept it. Steam were happy but also didn’t need the contract as they trust Microsoft to keep releasing with them as they’ve not broken that trust in the past.

@Cheapness69 But the problem with that is, just cuz others are doing it doesn't always mean its okay. Nintendo doesn't mess around with copyright, at least on Youtube.

@Domestic_Maid I'd like to see maybe a behind the scenes like thing with the cast for the movie. Maybe see a teaser for a new Donkey Kong game, news for Metroid Prime 4, Maybe an announcement for either game boy or game cube games to be on the Nintendo Online Service.

people getting pissed totk is $70 is so funny to me switch games are base $60 anyway, with most having $20 dlc. i see no problem with paying 10 EXTRA DOLLARS for a game more fleshed out than botw nintendo doesnt just make games more expensive, totk must be massive

@nintendolife Might've been a type error. Nintendo usually calls out the special edition preorders through the Direct clarification of the game bundle. I've already prepared for it early pre-ordered physically, so it must be digital exclusive package on eshop.

@The__Goomba true but i still think we should wait people tend to jump the gun with nintendo they took it down so that most likely means it was an error

Love the new update to Crunchyroll’s Xbox app. It looks like the Nintendo Switch version of the app but runs more smoothly and has gotten rid of all of the issues from the previous version of the Xbox app

I don't think there's a problem with Nintendo doing free updates for their games, just release the game with enough content to justify the purchase without any updates

@UltimaShadowX I don't see the problem... Games here in Mexico ( like the Zelda or pokemon games) cost an equivalent of 75 USD in the official Nintendo Digital store and video games stores...
