You would think that with a new Switch being released, Nintendo would fix some of the major issues with the original console Instead it's just more expensive for nothing. Great job, can't wait for frame drops on the crispy color OLED screen

Does Sony or Nintendo need a subscription service offering new games day one to be successful this gen?

@discord I mean, I'd love a broken gamecube, maybe Nintendo will remake it and I can trade that one in 😌😌😌 they are good at going backwards instead of forwards as a company

@PrototypeA9 @BrainDumpTweets @NintendoAmerica Wow you really had to dig for this nonrampant issue.

My copy of #AnimalCrossing stopped working last week out of nowhere. Says the game card can't be read. After troubleshooting with @NintendoAmerica support, we came to the conclusion that it's an issue with the cartridge, since other games and other copies of this game still work.

@outonparole @GamesChemistry the problem isn't the price, which is up to the publsiher. The problem is that Nintendo, the dudes who literally invented a seal of quality for their library, allowed it there

Like I've said, I get it. It feels like we can't go freaking two seconds now without Nintendo doing something sketchy. The Wii U/3DS Era still had ridiculous lows, mainly because of Nintendo being Nintendo at this worst. But these recent issues don't even feel Nintendo to me.

@shootamcg @_baljot I’m not getting into any console wars on Twitter. Last time I checked Xbox, Nintendo and Sony are all doing extremely well, and they all have their own unique super annoying issues.

@Xephyr117 @MoistCr1TiKaL The second problem is you thinking that advancement in technology only means more power, in fact I would argue Nintendo is more technologically advanced because there games are so efficient they don't need too much power to run them.

the problem isn't the price. The problem is that it was allowed on the shop by Nintendo, the dudes who came up with their own *** seal of quality

@NintendoAmerica I’d just like to be able to purchase a Magnamalo amiibo without creating a additional supply issue by limiting it to a single retailer. Hasn’t been available at all outside of limited preorders, luck or eBay.

@NintendoAmerica the switch OLED is such a joke. Same joycons? No Bluetooth headset compatibility? You're def earning less and less trust from me. Issues that could have been addressed without upgrading the processors are not being addressed.

@Djjoe1165Aaron @CaptainGlack @NintendoAmerica It has really bad frame rate issues in dense areas.

WAY overdue for a price drop. Nintendo has been on a very concerning decline since the switch generation started, but they'll never have to address their issues or get better if their own customers buy or defend everything they do because "how dare people have expectations "

@elbethium @MldGhost @_JaY_R0ck_ Again at the end of the 12 months, that 4 you just spoke of will still be 4 lol. Xbox and Nintendo in that same time frame will have more. Sorry you can’t accept that. Not my problem. Again bye bye little kid.

@DJK1NG_Gaming Well I mean if you're buying a console for a better screen it sort of implies that you want better visuals. I do agree with you though so idk why nintendo made this revision instead of working on something more substantial like joycons or just improving their online service

I'm up for an all cloud service. If companies concentrate on improving their cloud/online services, it'll help fight the resellers of next gen consoles. But honestly would just love for Nintendo to improve their switch/SNES/nes online

@SockTalking I largely play docked and my connection to the internet isn’t a problem, Nintendo’s crappy servers are. So this new Switch is meaningless to me.

@chancletamangu They don’t need it tho , the exclusives help the value of playstion same for Nintendo and playstion now is a subscription service that is actually good that ppl don’t give enough credit for. Xbox had to do gamepass. That’s the difference

(@chancletamangu) reported
@BluSatire I feel you on those points, but I’m someone who thinks even Nintendo will do it one day. People made these same arguments for the iTunes Store and even Disney thought so highly of themselves that they didn’t need a service. Now look at that landscape. Xbox is changing it here.

Is there a way to mute people complaining about Nintendo's EVERY move? Cause I'm tired of broken records Like I have some criticisms too but y'all are hating on Nintendo like a clout chaser

@BluSatire Not at all homie I feel like Nintendo and Sony games sell regardless. They don't have to sell a service because people buy the games.

@oliverbcampbell Problem is, Nintendo is the only console company willing to change up their controller design.

@TonyWheatley4 @DreamcastGuy Yeah, AND Nintendo makes large profits off hardware while Sony and Microsoft sell consoles at a loss. Nintendo knows smart business, Sony & Microsoft have other means of revenue so taking the hit isn't an issue for them.

@CartridgeGames Oh yeah, I think the PC version had the same issue, but it was patched before launch. I guess the time needed for Nintendo to certify the patch is a bit longer, so it’ll be out later.
