@PlayerEssence @OrdinaryGamers 3/3 OJ Nintendo games like Zelda, Mario, or Pokemon series should never suffer from performance issues as they do now. Currently its a disgusting display when you consider the level of polish older Nintendo games have had. Its also absurd and disappointing to resort to emulation.

@DrillCaramary Cant believe the switch can handle this and not 15 characters in pokemon scarlet. Yes, im being sarcastic to all the people sayin the Nintendo switch is the problem and not Gamefreak

@stopskeletons I could swear this was obvious by the time Nintendo literally offered to fix them for free, I believe.

But some 𝙥𝙖𝙨𝙨𝙞𝙤𝙣𝙖𝙩𝙚 parents don't understand that we're *not* Nintendo customer service and get a little heated for not allowing *all* their kids to share a single downloaded game. 🧵2/

@BrianNiemeier Heh, didn't mean to go on a rant. But MLP, Nintendo, and others have had issues, too. I'm just more familiar with Warhammer's.

The problem is Sony and Nintendo are in a departures relationship Crunchyroll split with Sony because they were so arrogant and cocky as you can tell to their response to my ideas of games with goat simulator 3 had nothing to do with goats but it's all my ideas

@No1Rambler @ProjectXbox17 Nintendo bought studios also so now u penalizing Microsoft for not buying studios in the early 2000s? The very thing u mad about how did valve get brought into this they're not a major console maker they're more of a service provider

@US_Stormwatch @JWalkerII I had a paper route when I was in the fifth grade because unlike most of my friends my parents would not buy me a Nintendo I had to buy my own so I delivered papers when it was -50 so I think I’ll be fine a lot of other people are in big trouble though.

@TonyHug66420818 //Heck I have every single same that was available. All the original ps1 games, ps2, gameboy advance, Nintendo DS, and PS4. Before the pandemic I was a fanatic of Crash, but at some point during the pandemic I lost interest. But I decided to give it another go for old time sake.

@RetroCak Haha yeah it’s too bad it died. It’s been a bad year for my retro consoles. I’ve had 3 die and 2 more that are dying. My Jaguar cd, Sega Dreamcast and Nintendo 64 all died this year. My GameCube and Saturn are now having reading issues. Fun times lol

@JayLegend87th Hold on. Do not claim I generalized all software from Nintendo under the umbrella of having problems. I never said that. I said they have had these issues due to the age of the console and it holding back nintendo. These true and are detriments but a title like zelda drives sales

for some reason part of me feels like the Switch vs Steam Deck arguments feel like it's supposed to guilt trip people who already bought one of the two no i don't regret biying my switch, in spite of its problems i still think it's overall good but also nintendo's kinda dumb

@JayLegend87th They are detriments but they have a large install base. I dont understand your confusion. Nintendo is the pokemon machine. People are going to buy pokemon. The point I made is that these issues are getting more common. Perception has changed and they aren't driving sales

now nintendo's business, NSO in its entirety, and the care they give to some of their biggest names like pokemon, I got some issues there but the hardware doesn't make me feel particularly bad. It's enough to work anything I need it to

You either die playing online Smash with no lag, or live long enough to see yourself get IP banned by Nintendo.

I think the only issue about people who haven't bought a Nintendo Switch now, is that any moment Nintendo could announce the next hardware after you spent money on the current Switch.

@GTRForums @videotech_ Although I get what you're saying they were using footage from a unreleased leaked game that they don't own or have any part of That's like if FIFA put Mario in their game without Nintendo's permission It would most likely cause a legal issue
