@Yeahhhboyyy2 @sevengranddad92 I think the problem is that there's too much hyperbole in the online gaming community. It's all over the internet, don't get me wrong, but it's especially prevelant in gaming. Nintendo makes great hardware and software and aren't as bad as some people would have you believe (1/

@Ashleygunky @WildfireGX @Stealth40k People go out of their way to ignore the Switch can take a Terabyte card that they can just go get to solve problems, yes. Again, don't derail. Obviously people know a TB as a concept exists. Whether "backwards" Nintendo let's you have one is "new" thing for people to accept.

@scully1888 "the retro stuff is supposed to be a bonus, not the focus" In an ideal world, maybe - but Nintendo's service is terrible. Splatoon 2 doesn't even have dedicated servers; they're charging for p2p multiplayer. From my perspective the retro games are the product.

The Realist
(@elementrealism) reported
@CocoMuir_ The lack of variety with their online service, their overpriced games (after four years, BOTW is still full price), they refuse to port classic NES, SNES, and N64 games to the Switch and yet they are legally sniping people producing Nintendo emulators and ROMs, etc. 1/2

@ttrashcatt_ SEGA marketed Crash N Sane Trilogy in Japan, so I’d be fine with this. They’d be in better hands with SEGA instead of Activision or Nintendo imo.

Could the NSO service be improved? For sure, I'd really love to see more Nintendo systems added. I don't think that returning to the Virtual Console brand is the way to go though, especially when third parties are free to release retro games on the system under their own banners.

@Wisecup0 @swshriv @NintendoAmerica Top Gun is based on a feature length film, which would be a licensing nightmare for Nintendo to put on their service, so that's never happening. Metal Gear and Clayfighter have a much better chance though.

The Nintendo Switch Pro Controller is a joke. The worst "premium" controller I've ever used. Had to return 2 controllers already, because the analog stick kept doing random turning and drifting. Now the 3rd that I'm using has the same issue after 2 months of light use.

I got a new set of joy-cons last year after my original pair started drifting. Now my new pair are drifting. I don’t like playing on a tv, I prefer handheld so this has pissed me off in a major way. Our XBox controller has never had this issue, #Nintendo could have done better.

@Win98Tech Actizzard is probably the only one of those we could see crash in the near future. EA owns team licenses to football and soccer, Nintendo literally has money stashed away that can last them like a decade, and Ubisoft does this like every year.

@professorgatr If it helps, you can send your joycons to Nintendo to have them fixed or repaired for totally free outside of the box/postage you have to pay! It was a widespread enough issue to where Nintendo lost a lawsuit on it and has to fix the issues themselves. Definitely look into it!

@piratepeteshow @IAmJRaff @IGN As far as drift goes, I think more people should be getting that repaired 3rd party or just repairing it themselves. It's a very low-skill repair compared to other controllers and their sticks and I think that part of the reason Nintendo does nothing is because the issue is

I already used my ONE report for someone who abused the lag system, and avoided losing GSP. Listen @Nintendo, you'd get rid of so much of your dogshit community, and the people who abuse your lag system, if you allowed more the 1 report per day or even more.

@M3TTTA That's true, and Nintendo seriously needs to stop ignoring that issue, but that's beside my point.

@The__Goomba As a long time Nintendo fan I have to say the company is really stuck in their ancient ways. None can deny their games are the best, but their ports are minimal effort, their games are overpriced, they have hardware issues like the drift and they generally offer much less value

@McTroid @Ruleof2Review Nah, I would rather have anyone else besides the three big console companies (Nintendo, Xbox, Playstation) own such an iconic franchise mostly just due to exclusivity issues, ESPECIALLY with Nintendo. No love for the rest of us if that was the case :((

@xelor_official I’d just be hoping that if Nintendo does “crash” (though, it’s quite unlikely), they don’t die but they come back with fewer of their backwards policies.

@BrandonFRFX Sorry, I’m just so pissed that Nintendo cutted this idea! And not only that, Nintendo (as a company) did done many terrible things like bad online service, their games always 60 bucks, etc.

(@thoughts3rased) reported
@PurpProfessor That's not my point. My point was that part of the problem is the fact that each time it happens they're going out and spending a lot more money which will go into Nintendo's pockets than getting it repaired which doesn't benefit Nintendo in any way.

@DragonNexus @ArtyFrayn @jasonschreier We actually have Nintendo to thank for that. Before the industry crash in 1983, video games were sold at retail as electronics. Then when the NES came out in 1985 - a gamble at the time - Nintendo decided to put it on the toy aisle. Girl toys or boy toys? They made their choice.

@Ranger30Green @sevengranddad92 The different approach steam deck has taken and how broad the news has stretched really gives it a good chance this time. Vita I don't believe they'd released a new one since Switch? So? If sony chose to release a switch competitor soon, Nintendo would be in trouble

(@brown_n_prowd) reported
@IGN Y'all are clearly doing too much. When I had that joycon drift issue with my stock controllers, I just went to Walmart, bought a new pair of joy-cons (same color), swapped them out, then returned them. Quick and easy. If Nintendo is gunna bend me over, I'm bending them over also.

@KoolKidKai414 I don't see the issue tho. They just ranking something they enjoy. They in return may think the same about Smash tier lists or Nintendo series tier lists. People do have different interests after all.

@HrothgarFucker Oh no, It's not Nintendo that set the price for the crash bundle. That's all on the developers. Nintendo would "bundle" them and have the price like $ 180 Sources: Sword and Shield double pack

I honestly believe people who go "yes, we need another crash" don't understand what industry we are in nowadays Like...I'm going to come off like a **** right now (when have i not lol) do you think we are in the 80s where a company like Nintendo can change an entire industry?
