@BlueSparxLPs @jakekgearhart @JoeMerrick The problem is that we *did* have that consensus, and the official "definition" only exists because Nintendo disagreed with that consensus. They were literally butthurt that no one considered LG mainline, so they said "no **** you it is because we said so."

@ha1otroop2288 @AlexTremo_uwu We’ll see what happens, have we even seen results in the lawsuit against Nintendo for their ongoing joycon drift issue? A lot has to be proven in lawsuits, I’m not sure if it would be taken very seriously since it involves video games.

@Reecee_yt How does Nintendo get screwed in this? Sony gets screwed more then Nintendo, the only way Nintendo gets screwed is if there is a risk losing Crash because it’s become a popular mascot on Nintendo

@mrpyo1 Two games that were already on both Xbox and Playstation. Crash is even on Nintendo. Who cares

@mr_evaporation They wanted to buy Donkey Kong through Rare off Nintendo. Now they own Crash Bandicoot and Spyro. Crazy.

@The_Gibus_Man @geoffkeighley It doesn't matter if there are more fans on Ps and Nintendo. This IP now belongs to Xbox. So chances is that you'll never see a new crash or Spyro game on a PS console.

Honestly it’s Spyro and Crash are still cash cows and are most likely gonna be used in the same way Sonic is used by Nintendo

@ArcanaLegacy Nintendo. I’d rework their online, restructure their subscription service to make more sense and I’d make sure Pikmin 4 ships with online co-op. And maybe have Nintendo buy Capcom so we could make Okami 2 finally happen.

@SirPlutoThe1st @nintendolife @Xbox That's not really Nintendo's problem as much as it is GameFreak. They need a new art director.

@AlexTremo_uwu the video game has truly died when people still give a **** about cod, crash and other garbage. it's like hollywood and the fifty movies per franchise that makes them all horrible. Nintendo is the most based af gaming company.

Gamiac || Play KI, Titanfall 2, and Diabotical pls
(@Gamiac) reported
@PaulTassi The issue is that PC is getting almost every other AAA franchise that's worth playing, and with Microsoft owning most of them now, there's potential for the PS5 to simply never see any of them. Nintendo at least tends to release way more stuff in-house, so they have SOMETHING.

@pseudohistorian @mbstudentsforc1 True. What you say. As long as they are open minded and willing to solve problems and not just demonstrate - scream and shout and take a day off to play Nintendo. I can see their point. Unfortunately a lot of activists are usually more interested in grandstanding

@hishnash @shameermulji If Apple is buying Nintendo to improve their relationship with third party developers we're all in real trouble because Nintendo is known for their bad relationships with third party devs.

@tatsunical Someone should sell a Nintendo Switch controller that physically has the buttons in the right position. Problem solved.

A lot of people pretending Nintendo is just sitting on the side lines while Microsoft and Sony are trying pull in companies. And the talking about the gamepass being a issue. Did yall forget the godawful Nintendo Online Expansion plan? Or how poorly emulated those games were???

@CGCentralHD98 @SpartanDark_115 @IGN They can afford to buy Nintendo which is valued at 60bln but they would never sell themselves and legal problems would prevent it from happening anyway

@BousfHearts @SuperButterBuns Now I admit that Square hasn't exactly informed the switch, it's given the platform good stuff, but it doesn't seem to care about full support...which has been an issue with Nintendo since the N64....

@unpopularwolfAD considering the Nintendo's switch's capabilities it's reasonable to believe that AT LEAST Kingdom Hearts 1.5/2.5 could be ported with little to no trouble, but the cap would probably be 30. Kingdom Hearts 3 graphically i think would be a struggle for the switch.

@JamieMoranUK I associated Crash and Spyro with Nintendo, because I played the Gameboy versions.

@crayn_eetr @JeffGrubb I don’t have a problem with exclusivity as long as it’s not done by just buying all the large publishers ie Nintendo and Sony can have their own games if they’ve made it

@CressOfLight @ATVI_AB i thought about that, but got their start as ps exclusives, even Crash used to be in Sony commercials fighting Nintendo. Man. Crazy quirks we live in.

i hate where this industry is heading... half of it owned by a single, trash subscription service-pushing company. forcing sony & nintendo to buy up devs. this is not where we, as gamers, want the industry to go.

@IShaggymh @DerpyMudkip2 It will be Nintendo, Microsoft, & Sony. Pc as well, tho the issues that plague consoles plague pc so much worse I fear for its future. Anyways people are clowning if they think Microsoft will own Nintendo LOL

Their excuse that storage space was an issue for Nintendo carts is posh considering you have full games larger on the Switch such as Witcher III, NBA 2K, and Apex to name a few. Obviously, they're ballsy enough to charge $90 for a slightly modified PC copy... (2/?)

@eglinski @ChrisRGun I don't know. Maybe because of the same reason Nintendo fans keep paying the Nintendo tax on every single emulated, lazy-*** "remasters" that they release or their poor online service. Or the same reason why Sony fans keep paying for the samey, one and done 1st party games.
