@GenterMarko @fatalcharade @opop42069 The other games that have come out were mostly Wii U ports. Their Nintendo switch online service is a joke. The fact that we can only stream old Nintendo games is a joke. My steam deck feels more like a Nintendo console than my switch which is why I abandoned it

@ChojinColor @Hideki_Naganuma Tbh I think that nintendo should never make a new console, the switch OLED is perfect design, the only thing that needs a major fix is joycon drif. As time goes on they should just update the hardware for better peformance.

@Macethedash @NintendoAmerica I personally never thought that tents missiles were that broken. Sure I do use them, but when someone else does I can usually dodge them just fine.

@opop42069 I mean both got a ton of **** lol. Far as I know Nintendo did actually fix alot of issues with skyward sword that made a remake warranted. Outside the price one of the main reasons tlou caught alot of flak was due to seeming very unnecessary since the original still holds up well

Oh also, #TrainerID should also feature premium items for people to purchase in-game content. Because @NintendoAmerica your switch store ain't great. Also, this will drive monetisation which is more likely to get you to invest in making the franchise not broken!!

@VictorFioriHD Probably due to compatibility issues. Not that it'd stop the Nintendo money printing machine, but the only time I've seen it was with Pokémon. Specifically the rarely played Pokémon Quest. That one was on both mobile and Switch, janky and a bit chaotic but no control. Bop OST tho

It's also possible Nintendo rejected the game precisely because the plot didn't make sense, aside from the other issues it ran into. -

@GearboxOfficial hey me and my bf were going to play our borderlands 1 or 2 on the Nintendo switch and neither of the applications will open. Is there currently an issue with the software? Pre sequel seems to be functional

@realabzhu Part 1 isn't for the average gamer at that amount then. Only for tlou superman or ppl who watch the hbo max show and Sony games on sell more than Nintendo eshop ones. In the next year or two price will be lowered. Therefore it's a non issue as well.

@jonah_blair8 @NintendoAmerica Right I was like that too. I didn't have twitter or reddit when splatoon 2 came out so I had no idea what people thought about it. I dont have a problem with it but I can understand why folks hate it cuz its very OP. I dont have to be near no enemy to use it

@GenterMarko @fatalcharade @opop42069 It’s what I and a large majority think. There’s definitely a quality gap between Xbox/PlayStation and Nintendo. Nintendo has been lagging for a couple gens now. The only reason the switch was successful was because of its portability. Now steam deck exists.

@ariagaming64 @opop42069 I called out Nintendo, not for remastering the game, but for doing a sh!t job on it. SSHD has camera and control issues, especially against bosses. But I would love to see more games get the GTA V treatment, of always having a "modern" version, even bad games like SSHD.

@Looygi__ @NintendoAmerica So you’re more focus on violating terms of service than anticipating a game get a life

@DJK1NG_Gaming I loved Skyward Sword on the Wii, but it was hard to pick up and play, and I hated how basic mechanics of the game were tied to motion controls. Nintendo heard people, they fixed the problems, and ported older content to a newer system. For me, it was worth it.

@finalmasterm0dx @CEOofToLoveRu Linking an MS Account is like the spawn of hell on Nintendo Switch. I dont get why they dont have a Linking Option like Epic Games where you just login into your Epic Account, click on Link Nintendo Account, login to your Nintendo Online Account and done, simple.

@FroggyTheMii Um... there's a $10 difference also blah blah blah Nintendo never said it was a remake blah blah blah. This is starting to become a broken record.

Many people took issue with Nintendo for porting many Wii U games over to the Switch, but that to me was a cool idea. Given how poorly the Wii U did back in its day, the vast majority of gamers didn't get to experience the best its library had to offer, so it made sense to me.

@yrAlban @benz145 I remember those days. I remember Betamax. I remember 8-Tracks. I remember programming in BASIC. I remember getting cable TV. I remember using a pencil to fix cassetes. I remember walkmans. I REMEMBER THE NINTENDO ENTERTAINMENT SYSTEM BEING BRAND SPAKING NEW.

@RenOperative_ @OhNoItsAlexx I disagree, as there was negative criticism still aimed at the amiibo-locked features on SSHD or any other issues that were caused by Nintendo. However, like all dated issues, they don't get mentioned anywhere near as much once something else comes along

@I_DO_JUEGOS @CrimsonsEmbers @IGN What the hell are you talking about? Nintendo receives backlash too. You know who the real problem is? People like you who supports them re releasing the same game at a higher price based on some hollow loyalty.
