  @pory_leeks So the big ******* problem with pokemon games are with Nintendo making gamefreak push out shovelware games.

  @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.

  @ConnorOhOne @makio_jroses I don't understand how or why Nintendo would impose a deadline, especially considering they are known for delaying their own games if they don't meet their standards. If you can't understand the difference between The Pokémon Company and Nintendo then you are part of the problem.

  How @NoMansSky released cross save with Nintendo switch 2, have it be absolutely broken and unable to play cross save, after people paid for the product for a second time. To not even acknowledge it is diabolical behaviour.

  @unleash_yt At that point I think it’s just an issue with Nintendo and not the game itself btw

  @MucharV @ShadowzPaine @Nintendo That’s the thing about these triggered troons. They project their problems onto you with pathetic insults then block you

  @ev1dentLEE @Murillos14 @kirawontmiss Yeah? thats what i said? are you reading what i said? The problem is support console price hikes, game price hikes and further pushing the “you don’t own what you buy” narrative more by nintendo having full control to brick your switch anytime they want. shouldnt support that :/

  It's funny how life works. Nintendo saved gaming back in 85 after the 83 gaming crash. Now, nintendo may be the reason it crashes again. Crazy!

  @FortniteStatus I can’t matchmake on any map including Battle Royale and Brick Life on Nintendo Switch I keep getting matchmaking error #2 @FortniteStatus I’ve already redownloaded the game and cleared cache still having issues.

  @FortniteStatus bought a Nintendo Switch 2 and the game has excessive random rubberband lag. Checked on my laptop and switch 1 and the issue doesn’t happen on either of those devices. Any help?

  @dgxchvz @yggdrasilsaltar ...how can Mario steal from Crash if Crash isn't the first series to do a thing? Good job trying to skirt you original point --- Mini-turbos come from the original Mario Kart. Diddy Kong Racing is from a sub-series Mario. F-Zero (a Nintendo game) did anti-grav before Crash.

  @SonOfATech Nintendo I could forgive cause it’s game code on media(cartridge). Sony is building up a game library for their Plus “Games as a service” subscription. Steam is just putting games on the digital shelf at MSRP, but I expect some service to come out of them too.

  @Kneon The main issue is with Nintendo their first party games rarely go on sale.

  Kris Smith (@WarlockSoL) reported 28 minutes ago

  @TheHylian64 I really do hope they fix this with an update. I'm not optimistic because it's Nintendo, but hey, we finally got a favorites feature on Echoes of Wisdom after they pushed back against all the menu complaints for so long. So I guess it's not impossible :3

  It’s the exact same console, same components… even the same broken controllers that drift. Stick to the switch 1 and give it like 5 years until nintendo actually innovates and makes an original console again.

  Jordan Green (@Smurfgotbeat) reported 31 minutes ago

  I had an idea it was a possibility but let's be honest.. the newest Nintendo system is gonna be in-demand. Wish I pre-ordered but nevermind, on the plus side an OLED has had a decent price drop so if I wanted to invest in one in the future for my little one it's not going to be a stock issue.

  It is, you’re giving me an argument with no way to prove it. You just saying it doesn’t mean it’s true. I can’t find a single example that proves Sony and Xbox don’t do the same thing. Also I would argue even if it was a problem with only Nintendo, which it’s not, they just filled over 3 million console preorders on day 1. The most video game consoles sold on day 1 of all time. Thats the opposite of scarcity. Also they sold twice as many console as the ps5. Opposite of scarcity. I’m talking about consoles only right now.

  @DestinLegarie wow the amount of people who have lost the understanding of turning on the a nintendo hardware putting the game in and play---99.99% of people are now frankly scary "internet plugged in", "What's the problem?" It's you.(not you Destin, them)

  The new Joy-Con controllers for the Nintendo Switch 2 use magnetic attachments for a more secure fit, addressing previous flimsy rail issues. However, strong magnets may cause quick snapping, potentially pinching fingers. #Switch2 #NintendoSwitch2

  @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

• 
  Khem Wright (@_Rondo5) reported 48 minutes ago

  @GameOverThirty Ignoring what console warriors would say, I think it's an issue of messaging and marketing. Nintendo and Sony are extremely clear about what they're selling, what you're buying, and what it does. Microsoft launched the "This is an XBOX" branding to help the message...we'll see.

  Probably not a broken move but one time when one of my English teachers brought in her Nintendo switch to play games and we played ssbu I played as snake and just spammed his crouching Jab and somehow it was just able to beat them, the only counterplay they found was to play Ness

  4/ The Switch's Joy-Con Drift: Trust Issues? 🎮🔧 Nintendo faced criticism for the Joy-Con drift issue, as many players experienced problems shortly after purchase. This led to lawsuits and demands for better quality control. #NintendoSwitch #JoyConDrift

• 
  Kitastrophe (@Kitastrophe_Ra) reported 50 minutes ago

  Nintendo claims the Switch 2 Joy-Cons are built from the ground up—but stick drift is still a problem. They literally copied the internal design. Clearly, the only lesson they took from past consoles is that people will keep paying to replace broken controllers. #Gaming #Switch2 #NintendoSwitch2

  @Marthware The issue lies with Nintendo and studio managers prioritizing cutting corners, low risks, no attention to the little details, focusing on DEI at the expense of the final result. Developers share the blame too, some create toxic workplaces or lack the competence needed

  @CONEY Idk i spent 3 hours just roaming the open world and found quite a bit of random stuff, I dont think its particularly a problem with this game. (Other Nintendo open worlds tho...) Music is the best part of the game tho by far.

  @Chris_Dring I fully expect them to launch a streaming only service or subscription for TVs and stuff in the future if adoption starts gaining traction. But they will do everything to ensure that 30% is still very lucrative on their own platform and not give it others. Nintendo will be well..

  @_Ashaman @Pirat_Nation I heard the Mario movie had the same issue with Peach, and Nintendo forced Illumination to reel it WAY back until we got what we actually got.

  @KyleJamesOlson @FerrisWheelPro It’s all opinion based at this point. The corporations have a hand in it all. Microsoft, Sony, Nintendo, Nvidia, Ubisoft etc. The only thing left to do is wait for the gaming crash. Until then, make your own joy where you can find it
