@TheQuartering How about a story about how nintendo's latest firmware update has broken the eshop. The subreddits delete every post about it. No one is reporting on it.

@SpawnWaveMedia I have no problem with a 2D game being 60, but I feel the only its 60 is because Nintendo made, which I don't feel is right. There are similarly made games by more Indie developers that cost less than half.

@BatboyEXE @BoundaryBreak For a AAA console title? Yeah. About 90% of them are that price. The problem is with gamers as they have a high sense of entitlement (Nintendo fans more so than others) and will take everything as an insult. Dread for $60? TOO MUCH! CoD rehash number 1746? RIP ME OFF MORE!

I sent in Eastons Nintendo Switch to be fixed two months ago. Taking forever must have been badly broken. 🤔

@ElkinFencer10 Yeah I don’t get it. I have all 3 main systems and love each one for different reasons. Honestly I have issues with each company to! Like it’s ok to be frustrated with Nintendo but to be so butt mangled over such small stuff seems ridiculous. Like you said though! Their loss!

@HoneyNoodlesArt @Crimson_Mayhem_ Same thing. Again. It has to be first made by Nintendo, Xbox, Sega, or Playstation. Crash Bandicoot is an Example. Also, Dr. Eggman is Another Example. Fans also wanted another character From Sonic the Hedgehog into Smash.

Nintendo has actually fairly consistently been annoyed with people's attempts to break the game to beat them at record pace, including doing stuff like patching out the backwards long jump glitch from certain rereleases of SM64, for example.

UGH! Nintendo needs to fix the 12.3 firmware update for Switch, because it's becoming such a pain to download games and updates. It will be HELL for Smash fans who want to update the game and download Kazuya to play

@NintendoEurope @NintendoUK Can we RMA device left useless from 12.03 firmware with 2123-1502 error?

@amiiboAlerts I’m starting to think Nintendo should just sell these to Nintendo Online members, like their NES and SNES controllers, and cut out the bots and scalpers altogether. Even if it’s at the expense of people that refuse to subscribe to the service.

@BoundaryBreak Unfortunately, that about sums it up. Love their games, but the majority of Nintendo fans are some of the most overentitled people, which leads to the key problem with many Japanese companies: "Well, that game didn't sell. Maybe the Americans aren't interested in that series?"

@Enigma_Kage New update for switch broke it and now you can't update or download anything you purchase. All Nintendo says is to turn it off and retry until it works. They need to fix it or put out a patch. Just warning you of that now.

@ShadowDarkrai12 @bacheschergodel @GeorgeOD_ That doesn't solve the fact I never saw any post about Joy-con drift until summer 2019, and that my Joy-con (which I used constantly) began to drift around that time as well. And to clarify, I don't defend Nintendo for the Drift, I just put in doubt it is such an extreme problem.
