**** you @YouTube for playing unskippable horror movie ads before all my videos. I hope @NintendoAmerica is aware that those ads are playing before their content, games for kids. This is a problem every year. Fix. It.

@ryanodonnell yea i agree the lock-up of past areas kinda sucks. doesn't let you vibe with the map hard enough. part of a larger nintendo issue of making games more straight-forward and beatable for more casual players by default

@J0nSPEC Like I said before, my only problem is with old. And I am not talking about a price drop like selling a game at 10-20$. But it would nice for a potential customer like me to give these games at least a good discount at 25 or 30% so I could be interested to buy a Nintendo Console

That shine spark puzzle took me a half hour to do and I will never get that happiness back, error crashed my game in a loading zone and didn’t save gonna rip one of my teeth out with a pair of pliers. There goes like 2 hours of progress including a boss fight, thanks Nintendo!

@davidscottjaffe The problem is, the Switch merged Nintendo's console and handheld teams onto one system, and Nintendo started charging console game prices for portable games. I'm sorry, but Link's Awakening might be good, but it is ludicrous it costs as much as Breath of the Wild.

@BlookyA @Nick_Marseil That price is standard, yes. The content that Nintendo is shitting out is not $64.50 standard that’s the issue.

@PowerRangersFun I doubt any Power Rangers game will be included in the Nintendo Switch Online service. MMPR, Fighting Edition, the Movie, and Zeo Battle Racers for the SNES, were not in the library, what more the N64 content will bring us?

@Damo9G The company that sells bad ports of decade old games for $60 and sells controllers with a major design flaw they’ve known about for years but refuse to fix? That Nintendo?

@double_r2d2 Blame this more on Nintendo. They refuse to allow the prices of their games to drop significantly, no matter how long it's been. Gamestop is absolutely a bunch of vulture *****, but Nintendo is a problem too.

So I had a glitch in my ACNH and now I have Anacotti, but I invited Brocolo from an island. I still love all the mouse villagers but like… wtf Nintendo.

(@ARandomDude143) reported
@Nick_Marseil It's more of an industry issue for prices. Usually, any 1st party AAA game will be set at $60, unless it's being marketed as a smaller spin-off It's not a Nintendo problem specifically. It's just that many Ninendo games lack certain qualities that make look games more expensive

i refuse to pay a subscription service for a game that is only available that way, especially Nintendo's awful garbage

@OrdinaryGamers my only issue is that nintendo games tend to be 60 bucks not because of the game but because... Nintendo ): exceptions of course since some 60$ games on nintendo do eel 100% worth the money and not like i'm paying because of the IP

(@Jonoridge) reported
@blatanamana @Pitosh2137 @Laurent_Weppe I believe the biggest issue was the memory size of the Nintendo Switch game cartridges which were 32GB at launch. I think Nintendo didn't want to do what Rockstar did with LA Noire and have gamers have to download the rest of the game via the eShop to play it.

@BrandonBlume What's the issue here? I see two different ways to have fun, and even I think Nintendo is overpriced and underpowered.

There's real issues to talk about regarding Nintendo but they they rather whine about this **** because they feel a game style they don't like isn't worth the money they won't spend on it for anyway

@LuperMattroid @Dreamboum Oh okay, so the issue isn't in Nintendo emulating their own older games but in the hypocrisy of emu beggars getting what they want only to find another reason to complain. That clears it up. Thank you.

@soppppppee @Musouk @Nick_Marseil I'd rather buy MK8 Deluxe for 60$ with the portability of the switch and all than any CODs since BO2 that all still retail for 60$. This doesn't fix the issue, they should both lower, but I'm not sure Nintendo is the villain here-

@TheOnePhun211 And yes Sony and Microsoft have bad games as well, but Nintendo as of recent relies heavily on nostalgia to get the fanboys riled up. Super Mario All Stars Skyward Sword 'remaster' Meteoid: Dread It's just sad really. I dont think it's a war anymore, it's a Nintendo problem.

@frisbie147 @Dmarcus_Baus_ Here the problem that. Every court case won't go the same nor will it have same outcome. Using court cases from 90s to prove a point won't mean much. Time changed and situation with that case is not relevant to anything regarding Nintendo.

@getonthestiix Xbox has a different problem. Xbox is in position to create whatever they want, They choose otherwise. Instead of doubling down on creating great software they tapped out. Nintendo's potential is capped due to the choice in hardware.

Nintendo’s $60 game is better than most $60 games that are broken, unpolished, incomplete, literal copy/paste, riddled with gambling lootboxes. Overpriced microtransactions, and underwhelming battle passes

@DarlingVexa @nintendolife Nintendo bootlickers thinking Nintendo is doing them a favor by charging money for a service that they invest next to none of the payments back into while attempting to charge more without looking into improving their medieval online infrastrcture. What else is new?

@MasterControl90 @d3fmod @MiSTerFPGABot It's not the connector being fiddly that's an issue to me its that with the Nintendo consoles there 2 standards for the Multiout Pinout, with the PAL variant having 12 volts where the NTSC Variant has sync in it's place.
