Pain uchiha (@1999Antoto) reported@MiguelGX9 @mrpyo1 And? I’m pointing out hypocrisy. If Pyo buys and enjoy every TLOU remaster then why is it a problem for Nintendo to offer a 10$ upgrade as well?

detective **** 🗝️⚖️ anderson’s guywife (@spacenautica) reported@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.

Crumbd (@TheCrumbd) reportedThe new Joy-Con controllers for the Nintendo Switch 2 use magnetic attachments for a more secure fit, addressing previous flimsy rail issues. However, strong magnets may cause quick snapping, potentially pinching fingers. #Switch2 #NintendoSwitch2
-
Grok (@grok) reported@Nintendo The Legend of Zelda movie delay to May 7, 2027, is due to "production reasons," likely to ensure quality, as stated by Miyamoto. This is the first delay since the March 2027 date was set in 2025. No evidence supports prior delays, though the long development since 2023 may feel like multiple postponements. Fans are split—some are frustrated, others back the focus on quality. Details on specific production issues are unclear, so the exact cause remains speculative.

Kitastrophe (@Kitastrophe_Ra) reportedNintendo 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

Michael (@Michael23041981) reported@SignoreBravo @Zuby_Tech The way the industry now has completely changed. The only platform that really sticks to its roots is Nintendo, who don't put their games anywhere else. The issue now is the financial viability with the rising development costs and the companies wanting to turn profits
-
🌙 (@zero_xof) reported@AngryJoeShow Or, don't support it at all. Game pass being "cheaper" is by design. Nintendo created the problem, MS replicates the problem and is selling the solution.
-
Kyle James Olson (@KyleJamesOlson) reported@badlydrawnwott @FerrisWheelPro Fix me, because I was the biggest Nintendo fan until around 2019. I bought switch 1 day one. I came home disappointed playing 3 player Mario kart. On my 4k tv it looked so bad. Then the N64 online came out and was worse than emulators on my PC. I was done with the crap.
-
Mr Topps Card (@MrToppsCard) reported@uniformcritic They're designed to stand out. They sure do. Look at the TD one in Toronto or the Nintendo one in Seattle. No amount of complaining will fix it. They're awful and they're here to stay.
-
Shadow Fox Infinite (@ShadowFoxArche) reported@Eien1239 Yeah all the PC handhelds have this, but that isn’t the problem- seamless transition is. The thing needs a dock, and instant transition from docked/undocked, and instant resume from PC/Xbox. Otherwise, it can’t come close to what Nintendo is doing and why Switch is popular.

Cass 💜 (@perfectcrimes_) reportedi think nintendo heard everyone wanting mkwii's glitch techs again and responded with legal glitch techs in mkworld bc no way is THIS possible for any other reason
-
Buhnug🏳️⚧️ (@buhnug) reportedProbably 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
-
MegamanNG (@MegamanRA) reported@antdude92 I'm not surprised. Nintendo has a major shovelware problem. They allow this game to be on the eShop and yet games like Neptunia Re;birth, Menhera Farm and others are denied. Know what I call this? Hypocrisy.
-
riley🌴 (@reee_cap) reported@SomeKirbyFan and it will launch with thousands more games than the switch 2 with 0 fee to pay for ****** online service. 50 dollars a year for limited emulation vs emulating every nintendo game ever minus the one 90$ mario kart game lol
-
Hunter Gerace (@Speady99) reportedDidn't Nintendo push a Day 1 patch to fix these specific issues? Update your ****.
-
Grok (@grok) reportedNathan, battery calibration can help fix inaccurate charge indicators on the Nintendo Switch, as Nintendo and tech guides like iFixit confirm. It ensures the device displays the correct battery level but doesn't improve actual battery life or fix degradation. Your advice may mislead if presented as a universal fix, as Void suggests. Here's a disclaimer for your video: "Battery calibration corrects inaccurate charge displays but won't enhance battery capacity or fix a degraded battery. For persistent issues, consider replacement per Nintendo's guidelines." This clarifies the method's scope and limitations.
-
Kj Superstar(OKARUN) (@kjcole0811) reported@tk_the_kitsune @KingNarukami45 Problem is that Nintendo are getting the cards from a different manufacturer so unless they have another option, 64 is all 3rd party has and they hate losing money so game cards are cheaper even though I’m not a huge fan. Madden is 61 and that’s using a game keycard
-
𝐬𝐚𝐝𝐢𝐬𝐭𝐢𝐱 (@imsadistix) reported@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 :/

easynow (@easynow1337) reportedHow @NoMansSky released cross save with Nintendo switch 2, have it 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.
-
Septemberus Octoberus (@ElCaptainCook) reported@NintendoAmerica Can we fix mario kart? Bugged wall jumps, 0 progression progress, no multi-player free roam. The game feels unfinished. Which is wild considering how long you said it's been finished.

Galactidot (@galactidot) reported@Don_keyedjote @OswinOswald223 @Nintendo - error in the discussion. And what are you feeling sorry for me for? I just saw your initial reply to Nintendo and found it humorous for it's error --- and here we are!
-
Grok (@grok) reportedNintendo 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.
-
ShaggyMH (@xHrdcoreShaggyx) reported@CHARMERS96 I think the **** reality is the games were gonna be 80 whether Nintendo did it or not. We need a industry crash like yesterday
-
dan (@dan_kotsu) reported@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 ****
-
TeeJ Tech (@Big__TeeJ) reportedMy biggest issue with Mario Kart costing $80 is that Nintendo games in general just don't come down in price with time like everything else does. It being an $80 game is a significantly more impactful situation than the outer worlds 2 simply because the other worlds 2 will likely be on sale for half price within a year or two and that's just not going to happen with Mario Kart. 5 years from now it's going to cost you a hell of a lot more to buy World Mario Kart World then it will outer worlds 2.

Diaily (@DiailyDarudas) reported@pory_leeks So the big ******* problem with pokemon games are with Nintendo making gamefreak push out shovelware games.
-
Untold Podcast & Nathan James Norman (@UntoldPodcast) reported@8BitDo heads up, Nintendo updated the Switch 1 again and the "USB Wireless Adapter 2" is not working... Again. The system recognizes a controller but the controller won't function. (Buttons and directionals do not register). And I just updated to the latest firmware
-
Lord Kardok (@LordKardok) reportedMy opinion on the Switch 2 has changed... slightly. The EULA problems have been clarified and we now have a better understanding of what we are agreeing on. I still don't like the notion that you can't sue Nintendo for anti-consumer practices, but you do, in fact, own the system.
