@jain_koustubh @LinusTech They've literally sold 29 million switches since the pandemic started. And you need a powerful PC to emulate switch and most people would rather just pick up a switch so you're on some crack if you think Nintendo is in any financial trouble whatsoever

@lilbitfrosty Same here, I do tend to be super critical towards Nintendo honestly. I love Nintendo tho! I just know they can do better if they tried. My issue with Sony is mainly preservation. Microsoft has game pass which is great, but we need more first party stuff, that isn’t halo or forza

@NateAndDestroy If it doesn’t launch with major issues. Then it’ll “compete” the same way Vita did. Meaning, Nintendo has nothing to worry about, but I’m hoping it at least makes them think twice about certain decisions.

@Pain_Burrito @Dotemu The price is nice. But the issue is communication between both parties. Dotemu & Nintendo should have talked about this before the game was released. For this current debacle to happen is bad business.

@NintendoAmerica I can't even get to the game breaking glitch in LoZ:SS for switch because of Another game breaking glitch. My loftwing refuses to fly above the clouds. I'll boost 3 times, get barely above the clouds, then cam goes to overhead and loftwing goes straight down.

@fourche_jean I hope nintendo fixed this problem because 80€ it’s very expensive for a controllers who doesn’t work after 2 months

Spin attacks in particular are difficult to pull off, and deflecting octoroks with the sword feels a bit like it's lagging. But I still enjoy the level design and puzzles immensely, and of all Nintendo's truly awful experiments of that era (Kid Icarus), Skyward is unscathed

@SmudgerShepherd I don´t.... see a lot of problem about graphics and the space is more in 500gb in exchange of... 700 dollars, yeah that´s ******* expensive but still seems better than Nintendo at first. But my main problem is vent system, that´s why I suggest better wait for reviews first

@DingDongVG I hate playing switch handheld. so I don't. I wish nintendo would just give up and surrender itself to PC... I'm tired of owning consoles just for their first party games that run on hardware so outdated that studios have trouble even getting smooth 30 on exclusives

The Nintendo switch’s main appeal is broken joycons, so that we constantly buy $80 worth of plastic and accessories.

@tutiluna05 Very are an official Nintendo reseller. They're reliable, and have been around since 2009. I've used them multiple times to buy things that include laptops, sofas, and video games. No issues whatsoever.

@Akfamilyhome The fact Nintendo went this far to give an excuse shows the problem with their legacy games. By limiting accessibility to secondhand markets, it’s harder for anyone to play their games legitimately. Emulation is honestly the only way people will be able to play certain games now

@digital_firefly No. To avoid this kind of problems that harmed Xenoblade 2's development they decided to split Monolith in 2 parts: Studio 1 and Studio 2. Studio 1 works on Monolith's games, Studio 2 on Nintendo games. They also massively hired. Zelda BOTW2 has zero impact on Monolith.

If Nintendo simply gave people a way to access their whole library of games, I'm sure most people wouldn't mind paying for said games. Make it easy and functionally sound, then people would have no reason to emulate. Make your service better than the competition.

@whatiwantisfood Its not that Nintendo couldn't do better, its just that there isn't really a huge problem with what we have now lmao. Yall just have your heads so far up your asses about having the best graphics and performance possible instead of caring about what really matters, gameplay.

@eman64ONETWO @Nagrolaz I mean in the past Nintendo has the benefit of worse software but in this scenario steam has the advantage of an already established library. Not to mention, third parties are starting to move away from nintendo due to lack of performance. Nintendo is in trouble but not the end

@jwickhyoung Haha, nice. I refuse until Nintendo fix joycon drift otherwise you'd be replacing them in a year, or never taking them out the packaging.

is done theres a reason why nintendo will never get involved with competitive smash and its not only because of bad people but the consistent lying about someone being a bad person just to find out that its complete bullshit no other game ive heard of has had this problem bro

@samloeschen @richgel999 The Switch has had surprising success with non-Nintendo titles, but it's under-powered, has terrible online, and is impossible to hold comfortably for many adults. God knows Nintendo won't address those problems, so Valve is stepping in. Sound idea if they do a reasonable job.

@Frostie_Iceberg @Musty_AF @IGN I'm not sure emulation is a big draw for most casual gamers, which likely don't know anything about emulating anything, especially New games. And wouldn't they rather just buy nintendo games than deal with the hassel or issues? Yet we'll see how they respond soon enough
