    How @NoMansSky released cross save with Nintendo switch 2, have be absolutely broken and unable to play cross save, after people paid for the product for a second time. To not even acknowledge it is diabolical behaviour.

    @Don_keyedjote @Nintendo i really don’t see the issue. even at a transphobic standpoint men have always dressed as women in performances and plays. This is no different in my eyes. So most peoples points crumble really easily

    @GameSpot Will cost $89.99 to sign in to your account through the Nintendo server

    @tk_the_kitsune @KingNarukami45 Problem is that Nintendo are getting the cards from a different manufacturer so unless they have another option, 64 is all 3rd party has and they hate losing money so game cards are cheaper even though I’m not a huge fan. Madden is 61 and that’s using a game keycard

    @LucarioSplat2 I have the same issue. Not just Ninjala, but other games too on Nintendo Switch 2.

    @ev1dentLEE @Murillos14 @kirawontmiss Yeah? thats what i said? are you reading what i said? The problem is support console price hikes, game price hikes and further pushing the “you don’t own what you buy” narrative more by nintendo having full control to brick your switch anytime they want. shouldnt support that :/

    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

    If I said that I think $80 games aren’t the problem and that the problem is that the general public doesn’t get paid enough to live comfortably while still being able to buy things they enjoy I’ll get called a Nintendo glazer and to shut up

  • Sen_Works

    @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.

    @Nintendo The Legend of Zelda movie delay to May 7, 2027, is due to "production reasons," likely to ensure quality, as stated by Miyamoto. This is the first delay since the March 2027 date was set in 2025. No evidence supports prior delays, though the long development since 2023 may feel like multiple postponements. Fans are split—some are frustrated, others back the focus on quality. Details on specific production issues are unclear, so the exact cause remains speculative.

    @tash__i @jukins5 @pushsquare The switch 2 is selling faster then the PS5 and switch 1 were selling at launch 💀 No, Nintendo themselves confirmed they shipped enough units so they wouldn't have issues with stocks.

    @MucharV @ShadowzPaine @Nintendo That’s the thing about these triggered troons. They project their problems onto you with pathetic insults then block you

    @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

  • LlennoxYt
    Llennox (@LlennoxYt) reported

    @unleash_yt At that point I think it’s just an issue with Nintendo and not the game itself btw

    @uniformcritic They're designed to stand out. They sure do. Look at the TD one in Toronto or the Nintendo one in Seattle. No amount of complaining will fix it. They're awful and they're here to stay.

    @SignoreBravo @Zuby_Tech The way the industry now has completely changed. The only platform that really sticks to its roots is Nintendo, who don't put their games anywhere else. The issue now is the financial viability with the rising development costs and the companies wanting to turn profits

    @PlayStation and @Nintendo are in trouble. 😬

    @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.

  • L_Wrestling2014

    Then as a businessman @TripleH @WWE needs to know their place and provide the best quality service to their consumers. Pushing wrestlers that ppl want to see become megastars is consumer friendly while doing the opposite in any degree is anti consumer. Don't be like Nintendo.

    Man, where to start... Are you aware that you can buy games on Xbox as well? They even give you 20% discount for being a Game Pass patron. As for the second half... Xbox makes between 400 to 500 million dollars per month. That's half a billion for average monthly revenue per user. 1 billion every 2 months is stupid money. Also, they have stated numerous times that GP is profitable. Why do you think they doubled and trippled down on it? Now they're making more money by selling on PS stores yes. But I already have IRL buddies jumping ships to PC or Xbox just for Game Pass alone. The service is ridiculously good. Now with an Xbox handheld OTW it's getting crazier with PC exclusive peeps jumping on board. Some of ya'll aren't seeing what Xbox is doing atm, they're literally infiltrating other platforms. And that's not good as well. It will create a monopoly one day. Look at the attached pictures btw. Xbox studios published 11 games this year (Team Ninja is the outlier), Sony studios only 2 on my count so far (Sucker Punch and Bungie is the outlier here). Where do you think Xbox is getting all this money pumping out games at this magnitude? Only Nintendo holds true exclusives. The days of traditional consoles died a year or 2 ago. And this is sad.

    @daPRGamer @ChipznStix @WolfgangMishima Definitely less of a Hardware issue when You see what other games can look like on Switch. Must be a time thing. Nintendo trying to get them to churn out a new one like it's COD.

    i think nintendo heard everyone wanting mkwii's glitch techs again and responded with legal glitch techs in mkworld bc no way is THIS possible for any other reason

    @onlyhereforpkmn It's one of the few games with backwards compatibility issues Nintendo has already talked about it being worked on lol

    @PiperistheNewbl Nintendo apparently pays him to do this but that brings up the bigger issue of companies wasting the tech they made with slave labour

    @OutOfPocketChum @LaprasKnowsBest @ArtistNcs It really comes down to picking your poison. Regardless, Nintendo fans will most likely get it. The best thing anyone can do is just to know what you're buying, what to expect for issues, and so on.

    @SteelSupport My Arctis Nova 7P doesn't show up as a sound output device on my Nintendo Switch 2. The system sees the headset as a USB microphone, though. I can't find anything about this issue. Are there plans to resolve it with a firmware update?

  • Blanks_o2
    blanko (@Blanks_o2) reported

    @SW1TCHBLXDE ok so you would need an update and internet to update so you would not be able to with a fresh system or a system you had to restore and a fresh cart. this would be an issue if/when nintendo offlines the servers/shop. both are pretty common scenarios

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

    @Moondog8679 @J_ROOST @Nintendo 3D isn't that much cheaper, its actually more expensive. The problem is that most adults won't see a 2D animated film, but are willing to see a 3D animated film instead.
