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

    @sister_wow @NextGenPlayer You mean the one Xbox is trying to artificially induce? Cuz Nintendo has only released one $80 dollar game that isn't an upgrade edition. And Sony/other publishers don't seem to be following suit. They thought they could bait em, and up Game Pass's value. Glad it's not working...

    @Xtremeisthebest @Pirat_Nation Nintendo is doing the LEAST. thats the problem. Nintendo runs pokemon btw, they have some say in how it works & the funding for it. if the game is *** we can blame the runners of the pokemon series but its also owned by Nintendo who oversees it, some fault is on them

    @NierHellFire It is also important to point out. I'm talking about genuine good remakes. P3R, Resident Evil series, Crash Bandicoot etc Not ****** remasters Nintendo likes to produce. Unfortunately some companies really use the idea of remakes as a tool to get into players pockets

    But I was not meaned any of these things. You was just assumed I meant that but I wrote something else. Yes, I wrote it is risky, I still think that and if this risk will not go well then PS and Nintendo lost competitor and on the contrary, they will hardlock more games into consoles than before because will have enough of users for that. But yeah, I also think would be good if Xbox would go well with console working along PC system. But what I was really critizing that Xbox Rog Ally do not solving any of that. It is Xbox device that do not working at Xbox system. It is just next Win device just optimised to compete with Steam OS. That is only purpose of device.

    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

    @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..

    mlb the show friends: so i am STILL getting disconnected from online gaming despite going into my internet firewall and opening all the ports customer service told me to. i'm so stuck, someone pls help me bc they wont help me any more than that. i have a nintendo switch

    @ALegendaryDrops Blame Nintendo for starting it. It's how corporations work. Gamepass is a way to add value to customers. I don't like $80 and no game should be $80. But blaming MS for making their already great service look even better because Nintendo decided to pull the trigger is stupid.

    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!

    @Pirat_Nation Nintendo has actual QC and their consoles doesn’t come broken out of the box.

    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

    @sagdivide32257 @onlyhereforpkmn They did, don’t be silly. Nintendo already made it publicly known even before the switch 2 became available that Pikmin 3 specifically was one of the game that had compatibility issues. They have a dedicated website for this.

    @ElBichoteR7 @martttoo @NotiPlay_ No, it's not true that nobody buys Xbox. Xbox Series X|S has sold about 32 million units globally by early 2025, with 11.4 million in 2024 alone, up from 9.8 million in 2023. However, sales lag behind PlayStation (74 million) and Nintendo (128 million), and 2024 saw lows, like under 3 million units in the US and Europe. Microsoft's strategy of releasing games on PlayStation may reduce Xbox's exclusivity appeal, impacting sales perceptions. Still, Game Pass has 31 million subscribers, showing strength in services.

    @Spectre799games This is not a "byproduct of Nintendo" I noticed the issue with a lot of you ****** here online is that you run with your personal opinions and run that as if it's facts

  • Alfredo_Toons

    @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.

    @Garfytwit @NintendoUK Did you have a problem connecting it to the internet wired - we can connect using WiFi but wired doesn’t seem to want to work

    @Zodyrus @pory_leeks The problem is Nintendo. One showcases what Game Freak is capable of. The other shows that happens when they're forced to churn one out every 1-2 years. Simple.

    @ActualAero You are assuming GF is the issue here… Nintendo is the one not letting them finish the game to match the release schedule so they can sell merch

    @FerrisWheelPro Bro the part Nintendo fanboy don’t understand has nothing to do with people been mad at you for buying a NS. Is your money you the way you like. The problem comes when the same fanboys start talking nonsense about the NS2 been as powerful as the ps5 when barely reach a steam deck

    @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.

    @Xbox_Series_XS Nintendo is terrified of all these handheld PC that can easily emulate their hardware. Maybe they wouldn't have that problem if they made real hardware

  • _Rondo5
    Khem Wright (@_Rondo5) reported

    @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.
