@GamesNosh @The7thLevel It should show you, that Microsoft could give a **** less, about Soyny & Nintendo at this point. They're going after the big fish. Amazon, Google, Tencent, Apple & even Netflix. That is THEIR competition now! The line has been set. Xbox is a service now.

@SuperSaiyanWood Imagine when we were kids if we could fly round on a pokemon on our gameboys haha, the game looks like its finally doing things the cartoon/ movies had in them back in the day. It's not like nintendo to release broken games lad is it, seem to have a good track record usually

I don’t know if it’s @NintendoAmerica or @Konami @YGOMasterDuel, but your SWITCH import for this game is absolutely TERRIBLE! Such terrible lag and delays, it’s unplayable at this point.. #disappointed #upsetting #fixit

Master Duel is super buggy on Nintendo Switch. Can we fix this @Konami?

@XboxP3 What about Crash and Spyro? Will they still be on PlayStation, or am I gonna have to get used to playing them on another system? I won't be upset, but it would feel really awkward. It be like having to play Mario on a system other than Nintendo.

@m_rizky_gumilar It’s worrying for the future of Nintendo fans not Nintendo themselves. Nintendo will be fine. The issue is that nintendo is performing TOO WELL while putting minimal effort into their hardware and services not that their hardware is bad so it’s gonna sell bad.

Banjo & Kazooie could show up in Mario spinoff games while still appearing in Crash Racing ones as well for example. A new individual Banjo-Kazooie game would be for both consoles but anything with Mario or DK in the name stays with Nintendo.

Listen. I hope the issues in Activision are solved. But I'm also not gonna pretend Microsoft is some gold standard, same as Sony or Nintendo. At the end of the day, even AFTER investigating and one of the ppl involved having a conversation with Phil Spencer. 1/

@NnamzYT No, we won't, because it's not in PlayStation or Nintendo's interest to allow that. Sony is already gearing up to launch its competing service.

@StephenJPlant @PlazmaBro Honestly, man, it's your call. I'll say this, though. The N64 emulation Nintendo's doing ain't too great for a few games, so, if you wanna play Banjo portably, I highly suggest either waiting till they(hopefully) fix the issues or just stick with either the 360 or N64 version.

@NintendoAmerica Where's Banjo Kazooie? Is Microsoft causing problems? I've been waiting all day

In the end, I believe Xbox, Sony and Nintendo will be working together to fend off the likes of Amazon and Google in the world of gaming. I think thats why you see MS buy up all these studios. They see what's coming and wants to build a compelling service to combat those titans.

My issue with MS owning all of these studios is it don't feel like their doing it to better their brand but to take away 3rd party support from Sony/Nintendo they been buying alot established game studios that have been making mulitplat games for years so it feels suspect 👀 (2)

@MissDeusGeek Sounds like a personal issue for them, you have a right to an opinion, I don’t exactly get everyone getting mad about the acquisition because honestly if everything was exclusive it wouldn’t matter ppl will play wherever a game is may that be XBOX, PlayStation or Nintendo

I've been thinking, since Microsoft is pretty much buddy buddies with Nintendo now, and own all of the Activision IP's including Crash and Spyro? Why not they just let Banjo-Kazooie become a multiverse game type of character where they show up in both new Nintendo and Xbox games?

@JerodNunley28 @NintendoAmerica Microsoft is not causing problems, games added to the nos apps always get added in the evening between 5-9pm

@GamerThumbTV The only way this would work is if all game developers especially the Triple A devs like Activision, EA and Nintendo all go in to rewrite copywrite laws to fix the problems gamers have.

@NintendoAmerica You pay 300 for the system than need to pay monthly for membership and need to have 24/7 Internet service for a game that’s 20 years old greedy GREEDY RATS STOP WITH CLOUD GAMES !

@JimmyRyan799 @sidneyl94828768 @NextGenPlayer i have no problem about older software emulation that can be used for preservation purposes and it doesn't affect the devs i am mostly talking about pirating switch games sure Nintendo can handle losses in sales but a small indie studio cant

@thejschweigert Remember Nintendo 64. You would blow in the console and the game and it would just magically fix a glitch .. #the90swerebettter

The fact that Nintendo has barely been marketing Pokemon Legends: Arceus is... concerning. It either means that they know that they're releasing a broken product, or they're intentionally setting it up to fail so that they can go "we tried something new and it didn't sell well."

@Hotsammysliz You can also remap the switch controller in the switch main settings. It even lets you save several presets. Idk why people are still complaining about the Nintendo layout, you can literally fix it.

Hoping Banjo Kazooie doesn't have any issues like past N64 games whenever it drops on Nintendo Switch Online tonight. Wish we could buy the games without paying for some dumb overpriced subscription but oh well :/
