How-to Gaming (@how_togaming) reported@AnAverageGamerX I don’t think he’s a Nintendo glazer like so many people act like he is but I kinda wish he would leave the haters alone, I think that’s his issue. He’s brining a lot of attention to a controversial topic. But I do hope those numbers check out so he isn’t hammered anymore.
-
Maroxad Ⓥ🚲😷 (@Maroxad) reported@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.
-
Charles d'Espagne (@hispanrex) reported@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.

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.

ً (@Mordexai0) reported@Texalogic @MightyKeef The problem is you still need the Playstation connected (& I think on or running?) & you need a GOOD internet connection or it sucks ***. Also the difference between Sony & Nintendo is the Switch IS the console itself. You can't just buy a Portal without a PS5, like a Wii U.

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
-
violetpurpleish (@violetpurpleish) reported@Adziwo_ @NintyPrime Yeah that's the part I really hate about buying new hardware. If the issue with the trigger seems like something that doesn't fix itself over time, you might want to send it in for repair. I would hope Nintendo lets you keep the console so you can still play it in the meantime.
-
Izanagi (@CosmicApocalyps) reported@CentroLeaks Wait, so Gamefreak makes an Xbox Exclusive game that far surpasses anything visually that pokemon has going for it but Scar and Vio looks like **** and Legends Z-A looks visually lazy? So is Nintendo or the pokemon company the problem??? Or is this a whole other department in GF?
-
Bickle bork (@BickleKun) reported@Xbox_Series_XS Nintendo is terrified of all these handheld PC that can easily emulate their hardware. Maybe they wouldn't have that problem if they made real hardware
-
eta fita (@FitaEta) reported@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

Eduardo Sinisterra (@socv55) reported@Nintendeal Instead of resolve the issue flat out they just put a Band-Aid on the situation L Nintendo
-
Elevatorisbest 🗿🦅🇪🇺 (@Elevatorisbest) reported@videotechuk_ @NintendoAmerica Nah, don't justify even higher prices, 70 euros/dollars is expensive as is, add in fact that publishers like to price things at 10-20 dollars more in poorer countries for whatever reason and it's a hellhole that deserves some AAA crash
-
TwoWords (@chickagucc) reported@cryptochic0x @kirawontmiss If a grown man is playing Nintendo Switch he needs a Dr visit. Probably has a myriad of problems. Low Test, hormone disruption, obesity, depression...
-
Eragon_RH (@Eragon_RH) reported@onlyhereforpkmn It's one of the few games with backwards compatibility issues Nintendo has already talked about it being worked on lol
-
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.
-
DragonStar Errorita (@DS_the_Echidna) reportedClosing statement. This isn’t a skill issue, as most of it is just clutter from the amount of players. My sibling said ”you only have fun when you’re winning” IM NOT HAVING FUN BECAUSE ITS JUST STRAIGHT UP FRUSTRATING. This was a huge downgrade from 8 deluxe. Do better Nintendo.
-
Hugh Jackman Stan Account (@ShadowzPaine) reported@MustacheCash101 @gosuprime022 @Nintendo It still their characters if they had an issue with a trans woman representing their character they would say so since nintendo cares about their ips a lot

Grok (@grok) reported@ElBichoteR7 @martttoo @NotiPlay_ No, it's not true that nobody buys Xbox. Xbox Series X|S has sold about 32 million units globally by early 2025, with 11.4 million in 2024 alone, up from 9.8 million in 2023. However, sales lag behind PlayStation (74 million) and Nintendo (128 million), and 2024 saw lows, like under 3 million units in the US and Europe. Microsoft's strategy of releasing games on PlayStation may reduce Xbox's exclusivity appeal, impacting sales perceptions. Still, Game Pass has 31 million subscribers, showing strength in services.

Seabass (@callmebigfish) reported@Nintendo It’s literally the same console u guys had already but faster loading lol heard the nunchucks still have the same issue, this isn’t a switch 2 they just slightly modified the old switches they didn’t sell and resold them to you for $500 more bucks ): and now ur games are more exp
-
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!
-
Hayley (@LayzierHayley) reported@PiperistheNewbl It's not a waste. What he's doing is a public service and really Nintendo should do this themselves.
-
eta fita (@FitaEta) reported@LIGHTANGEL_EX @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
-
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.
-
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.
-
Grummz (@Grummz) reported$80 will work on Nintendo fans and 1st party Nintendo games, but the rest of the industry is going to find out. Fast track to AAA game market crash, esp if they keep virtue signaling in games, offering stale content, and lots of bugs.
-
Chimo Chills (@ChillsChimo) reported@NintendoAmerica Broken Game focused on Wokeness...... *yawn*
-
GT | Bees? 🆖 (@Bees_ssbu) reportedBeen having a lot of wifi issues with the Switch 2 as of recent. Can't explain why, hopefully Nintendo puts in a system update that fixes it.
-
Mooc (@MucharV) reported@PropaneMan92 @Nintendo I mean, your community has been making up words for years, why is it a problem now
-
DoNotArgue (@DoNotArgueWit) reported@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
-
🌙 (@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.
