@MCPotion21 @CutieCaracal @NintendoAmerica If it is such a problem for people then they shouldn't buy their games. If someone wants to buy a game and they believe the price is worth it, they should be able to do what they want with their money.

Yes, $Hundred Million Games under a Sub service won´t work, that is why you´ll be playing AAA bangers on Nintendo and PlayStation & AA Yellow MetaCritic Scored games on Xbox.

@earthbound64 @NintendoAmerica They got copyright issues in America yo. Only reason it was on the SNES classic is because the royalties were worth it under the higher price of the mini console. Granny can blame Sony Doesn't mean they won't release a remaster for the eShop of course!

@stonecoldmirac1 @xoaiyashiro For 3D All Stars, I can see the problem. But when it comes to other Wii U games, or third party ports, y'all complain. Do Nintendo fans want those third party games or not?

@nerdtasticmania @NintendoAmerica New Leaf didn’t even sell half the copies of New Horizons. There is really no excuse for the lack of updates at this point. I highly doubt they could “fix” the game with a major update at this point. We need 50 new villagers and interactive items like PC at the very least.

@hippiesimmer @DeadByBHVR accordin to bhvr it's performance issues that are preventin the update for switch not rly nintendo but what strikes me as funny is they let 5.0 update release despite issues on other consoles

@nintendofanlol @Pejelo2K @NintendoAmerica botw was in development for a while before and got paid DLC that was clearly made afterwards, i think it was before they started doing the "free update" thing odyssey i'll give you, but every other game i can think of after odyssey developed by nintendo themselves has this issue

@indecisiveprick @RoboKelzor @NintendoUK Big facts! But also they shouldn't have released such an unfinished game and then just promised updates (which were minimal) when people were questioning all the missing content. Hopefully this promise will fix it tho.

@larasemc @Dave19Brown83 @NintendoAmerica oh shoot yeah that's right, brazil does that... that is an issue. so again i'd say just wait and see if they do nintendo selects again, so that they're all-around cheaper.

@PaintGuru24 @Oddlinz @SYACVG Well I haven't seen Sega shitting on sonic fan games? Or Square enix taking issue with Final Fantasy videos? Nintendo just seems to be an outlier even in Japan, like they're prentending it's still the video game crash of 1983 and they have to fight to survive for some reason.

Anyone else have issues with the Nintendo Switch Pro Controller? Particularly with games that require a lot of swift movement in game using the directional pad.

For Sony, I think the issue is largely with the transition period. If they started putting games on a service day one, they would eventually get enough subs to offset lost "boxed" sales. If it ever makes sense for Nintendo, they're probably already screwed anyway.

@JaredBarker19 @NinWire The issue isn't the game though. The issue is the business practice. If this sells incredily well then it justifies nintendo doing it for every game. No other gaming company does a basic remaster of a 10+ year old game and re sells it for full price

@Tarkanome @CutieCaracal @NintendoAmerica A lot of people enjoy their games, that is why they do so well. If someone doesn't like a game of theirs or the price they are charging it at then just don't buy it, it's as simple as that. I have no issue with criticizing Nintendo but it has become an obsession with people

@KyleVanDongen @PlayBehavior @NintendoAmerica Splatoon 2 ended or even before that. And of course the main problem, Covid, the pandemic has affected the videogame industry and has made many games to be delayed or completely stop development So their plan was probably to constantly update because it worked on S2, but the-

@aphickey263 @thatstranger67 @NintendoAmerica Its very minor, people tend to think its a bad problem cause when a popular game comes out some times people get neat picky, but unfortunately only people who own the game know there really is absolutely no performance issue with Hyrule Warriors, but people will tell you no

@Louis5522063 @HiimSteve20 @NintendoAmerica Nintendo hates their fans, has a terrible online service and are too afraid to give discounts to 4-5 year old games.

@WSmith125 @SputzeeD @NinWire Valid, I mostly meant "time to go into hiding" it was mostly because as far as I can tell it's still a very divisive game as far as I can tell even without thinking about how there's issues with how Nintendo handled the remaster

Link's Awakening DX was really good and I bought the Nintendo Switch remake to relive a classic but they ruined it. It looks pretty-ish but there's far more problems than improvements.
