-
Jaynez 🎮 (@JaynezPlays) reportedNintendo I’m gonna need y’all to say something about the wifi issues cause I really can’t play games like this 😭
-
Chimo Chills (@ChillsChimo) reported@NintendoAmerica Broken Game focused on Wokeness...... *yawn*
-
vincey (@yungxvincey) reported@ChurchOfMoons The problem isn't that nintendo can reasonably charge $80 because their software is usually worth it. The problem is that Ubisoft, EA and all the other mass market slopware companies are going to charge $80 and the games aren't worth it.
-
Vivi 🦭 (@SealYamamura) reported@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
-
Painfull (@LoL_PainfuII) reported@PopPizzaMan @Paige40329935 @ShitpostRock I don't think that all Nintendo dose is good, but many are, they saved companies and they are one of the last company that delayed done games just to bug fix. Not everything is good, but we'll at least Nintendo is hiring instead of closing studios.
-
Bronze Beard (@RealBronzeBeard) reportedIt is, you’re giving me an argument with no way to prove it. You just saying it doesn’t mean it’s true. I can’t find a single example that proves Sony and Xbox don’t do the same thing. Also I would argue even if it was a problem with only Nintendo, which it’s not, they just filled over 3 million console preorders on day 1. The most video game consoles sold on day 1 of all time. Thats the opposite of scarcity. Also they sold twice as many console as the ps5. Opposite of scarcity. I’m talking about consoles only right now.
-
ITZ J1MB0 (@ITZJ1MB0) reported@hangryhiggs I have a problem with $80 games because it is pricing out people that want to own games and experience then. Sure there are sales and price drops but its just greed for the sake of it. Like 4 Nintendo games puts you down £240 pound like WHAT.
-
Grok (@grok) reportedThe idea of protective covers for the Nintendo Switch 2's debossed areas when Joy-Con 2 are detached is creative, akin to Nintendo 64 cartridge covers. They could shield against dust and offer customization. However, no widespread dust issues are reported with the Switch 2's magnetic Joy-Con system. Existing cases already provide comprehensive protection, likely reducing demand for niche covers. While appealing to collectors, the market seems limited without clear evidence of need. Current accessories may suffice for most users.
-
TeeJ Tech (@Big__TeeJ) reportedMy biggest issue with Mario Kart costing $80 is that Nintendo games in general just don't come down in price with time like everything else does. It being an $80 game is a significantly more impactful situation than the outer worlds 2 simply because the other worlds 2 will likely be on sale for half price within a year or two and that's just not going to happen with Mario Kart. 5 years from now it's going to cost you a hell of a lot more to buy World Mario Kart World then it will outer worlds 2.

Dc88 (@Dc88__) reported@NintendoAmerica Fix your cheating AI because it's too obvious
-
Danuki 🦝 (@DanukiTheTanuki) reported@Marthware The issue lies with Nintendo and studio managers prioritizing cutting corners, low risks, no attention to the little details, focusing on DEI at the expense of the final result. Developers share the blame too, some create toxic workplaces or lack the competence needed
-
Kamen Gamer Retro (@KamenGamerRetro) reported@Pirat_Nation people just going to ignore the poor frame rate in the trailer? Game Freak is still part of the problem here, its also not just Nintendo. I feel people dont get what cycle Pokemon as a whole has put itself in.
-
Wing (@LoperWing) reportedwait I just realized this means Nintendo *lied* in their compatibility data. Pikmin 3 was not in any of the lists of problematic games, meaning Nintendo was insinuating the game worked perfectly. Yet here the game is completely not working.
-
2Bpie (@taskarimasta_) reported@AG_Gobstopper You're right. I don't have a principle, a rule I apply to every company. And I have absolutely broken this standard with other companies, probably without even knowing. This is specifically against Nintendo, and I should probably apologize for making it wider than that.
-
𝐬𝐚𝐝𝐢𝐬𝐭𝐢𝐱 (@imsadistix) reported@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 :/
-
In Vino Veritas (@Amor_Lasciviae) reportedAs someone that owns multiple enthusiast level PCs, you can't overcome the hardware gap in a compact system. My issue is that Nintendo didn't make up for it anywhere else. They didn't integrate an onboard SD card for more storage on top of the slot. Increased prices though.
-
Bull2Bear438 (@BBear438) reported@Nintendeal It's basically an Xbox controller, dude. Why not give the respect to Xbox. They made Nintendo and Playstation fix their lanky controller designs by make the prototype controller.
-
sho (@desmosaddict) reportedcrazy how nintendo didnt fix any of the issues people complained about with the switch 1 when releasing the switch 2
-
riley🌴 (@reee_cap) reported@SomeKirbyFan and it will launch with thousands more games than the switch 2 with 0 fee to pay for ****** online service. 50 dollars a year for limited emulation vs emulating every nintendo game ever minus the one 90$ mario kart game lol
-
Jordan Green (@Smurfgotbeat) reportedI had an idea it was a possibility but let's be honest.. the newest Nintendo system is gonna be in-demand. Wish I pre-ordered but nevermind, on the plus side an OLED has had a decent price drop so if I wanted to invest in one in the future for my little one it's not going to be a stock issue.
-
How-to Gaming (@how_togaming) reported@Allkiller87 @CJsDiarry @Dexerto So am I. Mario Kart World is so fun. This guy will just stay bored, it’s a personal problem at this point. He and all of the other haters protests on Switch 2 and Nintendo have failed, as reports are saying that 3 million Switch 2s were moved to consumers hands on launch day
-
D2 (@babano22) reported@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.
-
Vanity (@Vanityshii) reported@jonathancigaret @iiWhiskey @Nick_Marseil well playstation isn’t trying to be a streaming service. They still want to sell consoles and console exclusives is how they do that, same as nintendo
-
GT | Bees? 🆖 (@Bees_ssbu) reportedBeen having a lot of wifi issues with the Switch 2 as of recent. Can't explain why, hopefully Nintendo puts in a system update that fixes it.
-
jamal drake (@jukins5) reported@kazzy_115 Maybe youre young but the last crash introduced 70-80 dollar Nintendo games 70 sega games....you kids don't know how good we have it. If games adjusted like everything else we'd already be at $100 games
-
Legacy Wrestling 2014 (@L_Wrestling2014) reportedThen 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.
-
MsTechNotFancy (@MsTechNotFancy1) reportedI don’t know about the PS5 (I have all three consoles and I barely play the PS5 and Switch). Both Nintendo and PlayStation have a larger fan base than Xbox. I think the consumers want more out of these devices. I use Xbox the most because of the service. I personally prefer the UI over Nintendo and PlayStation. Also, I liked Xbox customer service the most.
-
Michael (@Michael23041981) reported@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
-
Greencell (@Greencell161541) reported@Pirat_Nation Actually Nintendo isn't the problem as they actually offered to help Game Freak, and Game Freak ******* refused
-
tronman64 (@tronman64) reportedIf anything any hopes of me competing with online randoms are thrown out the window if this is the case. And yes...this is a skill issue 100%. Just wish Nintendo didn't decide to make their cpu's level up just in time for me to get back into the game.
