    @PropaneMan92 @Nintendo I mean, your community has been making up words for years, why is it a problem now

    wait I just realized this means Nintendo *lied* in their compatibility data. Pikmin 3 was not in any of the lists of problematic games, meaning Nintendo was insinuating the game worked perfectly. Yet here the game is completely not working.

    It’s the exact same console, same components… even the same broken controllers that drift. Stick to the switch 1 and give it like 5 years until nintendo actually innovates and makes an original console again.

  • Kitastrophe_Ra
    Kitastrophe (@Kitastrophe_Ra) reported

    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

    @sagdivide32257 @onlyhereforpkmn They did, don’t be silly. Nintendo already made it publicly known even before the switch 2 became available that Pikmin 3 specifically was one of the game that had compatibility issues. They have a dedicated website for this.

    @nightopiaz @lightskinpalace Granted, you could make a case about how it should be sold at a loss. But this has been an issue with Nintendo forever, and not exactly a Switch 2 issue, as much as a Nintendo issue.

    @RealLifeFakeWiz If yall can skip fomo these games will be $20 in a year. But Nintendo? Yeah Mario karts gonna be $80 come 2030. Nintendo is the problem here and any other answer is wrong.

    @FortniteStatus i play on xbox series s and he play's on nintendo switch, he said he had the same problem, when we press the app icon the game takes 3 times longuer to connect then before

    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.

    @MucharV @ShadowzPaine @Nintendo That’s the thing about these triggered troons. They project their problems onto you with pathetic insults then block you

    Probably not a broken move but one time when one of my English teachers brought in her Nintendo switch to play games and we played ssbu I played as snake and just spammed his crouching Jab and somehow it was just able to beat them, the only counterplay they found was to play Ness

  • grok
    Grok (@grok) reported

    The idea of protective covers for the Nintendo Switch 2's debossed areas when Joy-Con 2 are detached is creative, akin to Nintendo 64 cartridge covers. They could shield against dust and offer customization. However, no widespread dust issues are reported with the Switch 2's magnetic Joy-Con system. Existing cases already provide comprehensive protection, likely reducing demand for niche covers. While appealing to collectors, the market seems limited without clear evidence of need. Current accessories may suffice for most users.

    If I said that I think $80 games aren’t the problem and that the problem is that the general public doesn’t get paid enough to live comfortably while still being able to buy things they enjoy I’ll get called a Nintendo glazer and to shut up

    @ev1dentLEE @Murillos14 @kirawontmiss Yeah? thats what i said? are you reading what i said? The problem is support console price hikes, game price hikes and further pushing the “you don’t own what you buy” narrative more by nintendo having full control to brick your switch anytime they want. shouldnt support that :/

    @L337L4K3 I just think Xbox clearly doesn’t care about exclusivity and is going to put their games everywhere. Gears going to ps made that even more clear to me. Problem is I don’t see Nintendo or ps doing that to Xbox lol

    @Pirat_Nation Nintendo has actual QC and their consoles doesn’t come broken out of the box.

    @Moondog8679 @J_ROOST @Nintendo 3D isn't that much cheaper, its actually more expensive. The problem is that most adults won't see a 2D animated film, but are willing to see a 3D animated film instead.

    It is, you’re giving me an argument with no way to prove it. You just saying it doesn’t mean it’s true. I can’t find a single example that proves Sony and Xbox don’t do the same thing. Also I would argue even if it was a problem with only Nintendo, which it’s not, they just filled over 3 million console preorders on day 1. The most video game consoles sold on day 1 of all time. Thats the opposite of scarcity. Also they sold twice as many console as the ps5. Opposite of scarcity. I’m talking about consoles only right now.

    @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.

    @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)

    China put DRM in Solar panels... the way to attack this is a blanket ban on any kind of remote-activated DRM. Not just China, but Nintendo, John Deere, all sorts of companies do this. It needs to stop as it's a national security issue.

    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.

    @Grummz Are you really going to ignore the games that have been priced at $100+ the past few years because you just plain want to jump onto the hate bandwagon for attention? There’s been years of this high price but suddenly now it’s an issue because Nintendo.

  • DanukiTheTanuki
    Danuki 🦝 (@DanukiTheTanuki) reported

    @Marthware The issue lies with Nintendo and studio managers prioritizing cutting corners, low risks, no attention to the little details, focusing on DEI at the expense of the final result. Developers share the blame too, some create toxic workplaces or lack the competence needed

    @dgxchvz @yggdrasilsaltar ...how can Mario steal from Crash if Crash isn't the first series to do a thing? Good job trying to skirt you original point --- Mini-turbos come from the original Mario Kart. Diddy Kong Racing is from a sub-series Mario. F-Zero (a Nintendo game) did anti-grav before Crash.
