for clarities sake I don't have a problem with how mx sterling presents their opinions on nintendo, I understand half the stuff being said is embellished for laughs, and the other half is just sincere concern that honestly should be taken into consideration.

@dichromaticfumo Most of the sounds he used were from earthbound. Nintendo is a bit iffy when it comes to copyright with that games because they didn’t mame the sounds, they took them from other places meaning they could get in trouble.

@AryanX117 @UnJoueurDur @OrigiGreatness If the grand Xbox ecosystem is so "vast and provides choice unlike others", why can't I play Bethesda's future games anymore on PlayStation or Nintendo? It's not about providing choices, it's about restricting access to games to promote your sub service that's losing money

@snickeringsnack @Yaboiglumbert @PatStaresAt I thought the problem at the time was that Nintendo hyped fans into a legend of zelda with realistic graphics, hence why thr initial disappointment

it may end up handling the issue well! but i don't want to hold my breath, especially given that nintendo is a japanese video game company in the end. i'm not going to preorder until we learn more (if at all)

@elitheehedgehog I'm always terrified that this will happen, but word on the internet is that Nintendo may quietly fix it for free, even outside of warranty. Maybe worth checking?

@wayne3211 I get where you're coming from, but in a recent interview Phil said that if they would allow it, he'd happily put Gamepass on PlayStation or Nintendo consoles. The issue is THEY don't want that. The guy would like it if "everyone" could play.

@mustoons @LostUser64 @MrLightningVolt Nintendo had the glowing opportunity to break this trend but they didn’t, they instead saw an opportunity to sell a mediocre online service to scrape a little more cash out of their consumer base. They could’ve been a trendsetter once again, and they decided against it.

@mustoons @LostUser64 @MrLightningVolt Nintendo had an opportunity to be the exception, for the first year of the console’s life you didn’t need a subscription service but they just couldn’t leave well enough alone.

@afastidioushat @unhingedloserr Besides, if you're that delusional to the point you think Nintendo doesn't have a historic problem with crunch culture and a game looking bad=no crunch then you're dumber than I thought.

@XboxP3 I'm not asking for the removal of the initial online setup as I understand that's important for security reasons. I ask you to just be as good an offline experience as Nintendo and PlayStation have. You treat the offline experience as a lesser one, they don't. Fix that. Please.

@W3P0NMAST3R151 Hey Bradley, we're aware of this issue and believe it's tied to Update 1.3, which is the current version of the Switch port. The new update - The Lycan's Keep - should resolve this issue. It's going through Lot Check with Nintendo right now.

@FalKoopa_ They probably took a lot of trees out of the landscape in order to fix the frame rate. Nintendo it's time for a powerful system.

@GarfieldMowed @NintendoAmerica yes but why on the switch, especially with the "joycon drift" issue. It's not the quake part i'm confused about, it's the on nintendo switch part.
