  @AndersJesper @NintendoUK Yea, the absolute main issue for me, sure some powerups were missing but it got a bit too balanced for sure.

  @themeatly Glad I’m not the only one who needs this to be a thing, sadly we all know Nintendo will most likely never make one . Especially with their subscription service.

  @CATpt93 Should Nintendo do it too? Maybe it’s possible only a trillion $$$ company can afford the risk of putting first party games into a subscription service.

  can we talk about how ******* HORRENDOUS every PlayStation storefront is. finding the right game listing is easy sometimes except for when it's impossible. absolutely horrendous to navigate. the only advantage over Nintendo's service is that it has a cart function

  @AwwBeans3181 @SickTv4k Any company likes to be bought when 69B is on the table. The problem is: - Why just buy it now, after all that happened, why not 5 years ago? - How is it gonna benefit companies like Sony and Nintendo?

  @UPSuk I have arranged for a parcel to be collected for a repair at @NintendoUK over a week ago and it’s still not been collected. I have no date on the tracking via your website and your customer service phone line was useless.

  @snungod @SnapBlastPLAY SIE is not accepting any deal 100% because they are afraid instead the acquisition happens. If they accepted means no competitors would have problems, just like Valve and Nintendo basically said. SIE is thinking about their pockets only not about you.

  @ByYourLogic Sort of like a Nintendo live service but everything is in N64 quality

  It's been 510 days since the last game was added to the Nintendo Switch Online service

  @tarahiro @Didact343 Yeah most games seems to be later and game pass that certainly see Square being we can get money from Sony or Nintendo (don't forget Octopath etc) then more of Xbox to put into the service

  @Shin_Black89 EGM and Nintendo Power pre and post N64 era were my jam. Would be excited to go to the grocery store just to see if the latest issue was in stock. Then sadly game mags became more corporate and the spark just died.

  @Drackwayland @VGC_News Fair point but that’s more Nintendo’s issue not the PC market’s

  @GargolioT @StepDad226 @charlieINTEL The subscription thing is a non-issue. That was gonna happen. MS was just the first. The Xbox One thing was a huge screw-up. But they changed course after like one week of backlash. When’s the last time Sony or Nintendo actually changed course in response to a fan backlash?

  People are literally modding the new Pokemon games to fix their **** even before the official patches. Everything to make the game run better (60 fps, render distance, etc). Bonkers how modders are doing more than Nintendo.

  @mrex700 @poke_miners At least Nintendo acknowledges and fixes issues

  @zurgerific That nintendo business model of "we'll give it the content it deserves through live service updates that can stop as soon as the game fades out of relevance" is worrying to say the least

  @Tailuigi @SomeKirbyFan I bet they would if he wasn't the top billing and if Nintendo had any problem with him.

  @Ramika30898 Btw, pretty sure you'll have to keep playing Rise with your keyboard, unless you can stand the A-B and X-Y key swapping. **** the Nintendo psychos. I really don't know if they will fix this when it comes to PS and Xbox next year.

  @laaabaseball Mario Kart? Pokemon? Legend of Zelda? Super Smash Bros Ultimate? Kirby? Spyro? Crash? South Park? Yu-Gi-Oh? Donkey Kong? Resident Evil? Bioshock? Luigi's Mansion? Mortal Kombat? Skyrim? Star Wars? Naruto? Or even just Nintendo Online with NES, SNES & N64 games?

  @oktorisuyet Honestly is also a Nintendo problem, at some point they will have to make an steam like library to play your games regardless of your console gen, it feels wrong to extend a console live if every single game I buy there is gonna be stuck forever...

  Didn't have no dental floss, had to use old rusty nails Didn't have Nintendo, we just poured salt on snails Didn't have no water bed, had to sleep on broken glass Didn't have no lawnmower, we used our teeth to cut the grass

  Am I the only artist that if I would draw anything with the Nintendo Switch it would be broken/split in half or in the trash?

  @original721 @NinEverything Is Nintendo the only one allowed to milk franchises? As long as people are interested in more games I don’t see the problem really. That and the games stay high quality

  @boneymaloney7 @PkmnBrainrot nintendo could easily fix this by only having new pokemon in the game

  Lewott (@Lewott_) reported 58 minutes ago

  Asked my father if I could get Pokemon Legends Arceus because of our 10 day trip next week, he said no because the game costed around RM300 (60 USD) The problem is we literally have around 58 USD sitting in our Nintendo eShop account collecting dust and he refuses to use that :)

  @stackf3O @charlieINTEL Actually it's not being desperate it's being smart as Sony keeps saying no to every deal it shows they are the problem. Lawyers and judges will see this as Sony not playing fair and every other company agreeing to terms including Nintendo

  @Goblins_Mordor That, and being able to store your progress and save files locally. Not on some stupid cloud service you have to pay for (deep dark growling while looking at Nintendo)
