  @Silberkatze87X @GenePark It bares the branding. This is the problem. Xbox button alone is cause for problems. I want to see this happen, I really do. But as long as they keep the branding. It's an issue. Sony is fickle. Like Nintendo.

  @NierHellFire It is also important to point out. I'm talking about genuine good remakes. P3R, Resident Evil series, Crash Bandicoot etc Not ****** remasters Nintendo likes to produce. Unfortunately some companies really use the idea of remakes as a tool to get into players pockets

  @Nintendo @NintendoAmerica the switch 2 is cool and all, but PLEASE fix the gamecube adapter disconnection problem please!! My controller disconnects after an hour-ish of gameplay

  @Moskaato @Stealth40k @GyoJvfr Yes, and every time it happens, it’s a problem. “Nintendo isn’t the first time that’s happened so don’t blame Nintendo” no, I will blame them for doing it because they know they can. If you do, in fact, do something, then you did, in fact, do the thing. Literally basic logic.

  Nintendo predicts 15 million Switch 2 units sold by March 2026, including the 3 million sold in the first 24 hours. This leaves about 12 million more units expected by then. For 2025 alone, analysts estimate 13-14.7 million units, suggesting 10-11.7 million additional sales this year. Strong demand and popular games like Mario Kart World support these numbers, but higher prices ($449.99) and potential U.S. tariffs could slow sales. Supply issues may also persist until January 2026. Forecasts vary, and actual sales depend on market conditions.

  @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 ****

  @Don_keyedjote @Nintendo i really don’t see the issue. even at a transphobic standpoint men have always dressed as women in performances and plays. This is no different in my eyes. So most peoples points crumble really easily

  I've learned a little bit more about the Switch 2 and would like to change my stance. I will still not be buying a Switch 2, but for different reasons. Now that I'm more informed, I have less issues with the EULA, but I still have problems with prices and Nintendo transparency.

  @Spectre799games This is not a "byproduct of Nintendo" I noticed the issue with a lot of you ****** here online is that you run with your personal opinions and run that as if it's facts

  @OutOfPocketChum @LaprasKnowsBest @ArtistNcs It really comes down to picking your poison. Regardless, Nintendo fans will most likely get it. The best thing anyone can do is just to know what you're buying, what to expect for issues, and so on.

  Nintendo 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

  I had an idea it was a possibility but let's be honest.. the newest Nintendo system is gonna be in-demand. Wish I pre-ordered but nevermind, on the plus side an OLED has had a decent price drop so if I wanted to invest in one in the future for my little one it's not going to be a stock issue.

  Nintendo Switch is just a glorified nostalgia machine struggling with latency issues. Perfect for basement parties, terrible for serious FPS action. Prove me wrong. 🎮🔥 #HotTake #SwitchLag #RealTalk

  @FortniteStatus bought a Nintendo Switch 2 and the game has excessive random rubberband lag. Checked on my laptop and switch 1 and the issue doesn’t happen on either of those devices. Any help?

  @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.

  @LordM3MA @Ethanzilla1984 @Paleonyx_Art i already said once that i believe it's silly they aren't going after the obvious issues with palworld's models and the easiest claims of plagiarism. that does not mean the model issues don't exist, nor does it mean i agree with what nintendo *is* going after.

  How @NoMansSky released cross save with Nintendo switch 2, have be absolutely broken and unable to play cross save, after people paid for the product for a second time. To not even acknowledge it is diabolical behaviour.

  @DestinLegarie wow the amount of people who have lost the understanding of turning on the a nintendo hardware putting the game in and play---99.99% of people are now frankly scary "internet plugged in", "What's the problem?" It's you.(not you Destin, them)

  @ConnorOhOne @makio_jroses I don't understand how or why Nintendo would impose a deadline, especially considering they are known for delaying their own games if they don't meet their standards. If you can't understand the difference between The Pokémon Company and Nintendo then you are part of the problem.

  There are only a few things I agree with Nintendo on but most of everything they have done...I do not support. All I can be thankful for is that they made online subscriptions cheaper than Xbox and even PlayStation. At least more affordable. I don't like that they made their online service a subscription based thing just to follow along with PlayStation and Xbox but I am happy that they are cheaper for me to afford.
