@BulbaWhat98 I know Nintendo has made some major errors this gen but I think it's the necessary sacrifice to keep Japanese gaming alive! Gaming would be a dystopian nightmare without them. Also, the cartridges alone are completely worth it.

@LegoRegice @CentroLeaks Officially, I doubt Nintendo or game freak intended for a trade glitch to obtain a shiny mythical from a spinoff.

@Black_D_Gamer1 The problem with Japanese tech companies is that they are two decades behind literally everyone else. E.g. Nintendo. The crux of it is that they always go to either extremes: Remains stuck being a dinosaur of a company, or being taken over by western companies and "become woke"

@TheFantasticIan By a wide margin. Random desyncs, lag, drift, leaky battery, terrible d-buttons instead of a pad. I didn't think using a Wiimote as a standard horizontal controller could be less comfortable, but Nintendo outdid themselves.

@TheFantasticIan The worst thing is how EASY it is to fix but Nintendo is just too greedy to do that 😭

@PostUp_bbb Why can’t they just create great IP internally? Why do they have to take IP away from PlayStation and Nintendo to compete? That’s the issue

@coolmiddlename @TheFantasticIan I dunno Maybe Nintendo did fix it, it’s just people were still able to somehow shove the stick into the controller housing again 💀 I have a still fairly new pair of joycons, and they only get drift cuz I’m dumb and drop them lol

@nintendolife Yeah but we won’t get backwards compatibility as long as people continue to support the Nintendo Online subscription service. Because holding old games ransom behind a subscription will always be more profitable than selling them to you.

@nintendolife I think we need to fight for out rights to preserve games, personally, and Nintendo ought to at least offer an option to "own" our games through a Steam-like service as opposed tot he scam that is Switch Online I'd still want the remakes, but sometimes, you want the original too

@TheFantasticIan Hopefully the Hall effect mods from Guille Kit will be a good fix. But absolute shame on Nintendo for not fixing such an easy issue after the 5000 years it’s been out.

@SportsballJ @TheFantasticIan It takes actual months for Nintendo to repair that **** and half the time they forget to send it back unless you pester them with emails. It’s a ****** system. Especially when you can just fix it yourself in a day

@BulbaWhat98 There are examples of Nintendo IP by studios out of their comfort zone. Platinum games did Star Fox Zero. Look how that turned out. (Although there are deeper issues involved with if making a star fox game fun in todays day and age, not necessarily platinum’s fault)

@YOLJOE123CRINGY @AidenRS139 Agreed. I’m definitely starting to feel the lack of power with the Switch, even with Nintendo’s own games. I played Bowser’s Fury recently and the frame rate for that game chugs like crazy whenever Fury Bowser appears on screen. Low frame rates are a pretty big general issue…

(@thatbastardfibs) reported
@SportsballJ @TheFantasticIan Nintendo doesn't fix anything. They take them apart, dust them out, put them back together, and send them back. While this can abate early stages of drifting, it does not fix the manufacturing defect in the 80-*******-DOLLAR Joy-Cons. Eventually the drift becomes un-fixable

@NintendoAmerica Can you fix the report system in Splatoon 2? Players’ posts are getting falsely reported for no reason from people ruining the game. It needs to be fixed. It isn’t fair! People don’t want to get falsely banned especially this close to Splatoon 3’s release.

@_Luxin Really annoying how NoA still refuses to do reprints of this series to capitalize on how much bigger it’s gotten lately. I feel like most other Nintendo franchises nowadays don’t really have that issue at all

@ElnegritoKurama @m_rizky_gumilar @pcgamer The problem is when they release the next hardware. Games the Switch can't play. If Nintendo doesn't tackle the emulation, the Steam Deck will have a huge leg over them.

@TheFantasticIan Aside from the hardware issues they’re just kind of awkward and uncomfortable to hold, my strategy is buying old barely working joy cons for like $20 and send them to Nintendo to replace them for free

@doom_mori No I ask if he would have problems with this patch of new objects? Like bugs or Nintendo deleting the island? Because it would make me sad if it did...

@TheFantasticIan If it weren't for the horrible drift issue, I'd say they're some of the neatest tech Nintendo has made. Sad one giant flaw is enough to bring joy-cons from near best to worst
