@NuclearFaults Too true bro. Im still upset about my Nintendo DS they sold when I was a kid. They said it was broken and I was sad about all the pictures that were on it that I lost. Literally half of my childhood pictures were on that thing :( and some bomb as pictures of my lego models...

@Sp4zie @Kuchenjaeger I think you’re both too sensitive and don’t realize every first-party Nintendo game has weird optimization problems because that’s not what they’re good at apex isn’t made by nintendo so there’s no reason to assume they’d make the same mistakes

@iMarc96 @xMBGx How does this tweet confirm that? They don't need Nintendo and PS. Xbox wants people to buy their subscription service mainly and to join their ecosystem. Why give people a reason to just stay with the competitor?

@Zota206 @starrenegades Still waiting. 🥺 I got about 40 hours in before it became unplayable with crash loops. Seems like Switch, even though released in November, will be last to be updated due to some issues with Nintendo. Poor switch players, we got the short end of the stick.

@Lbabinz I had the FFVI game guide by Nintendo, though it has a couple funny errors 😜

@GameDadJP Obviously it is because Square Enix and Nintendo just hate you, specifically, John. Oh they also probably figure they can make more money on those as eventual standalone re-releases instead of via the cheap subscription service.

@Jackksterrr yea, PS is weird with updates, but so it nintendo, it has the same issue on switch

@bethesda @Xbox The problem some people at going about the exclusivity thing is that PlayStation isn’t the only platform that’s not apart Xbox, Nintendo is also not apart of Xbox and have received ports of Bethesda published games such as doom

@VGC_News Making these limited releases digital-only (eshop only, no download codes) would alleviate a potential scalper issue. In general though, expect more of this from Nintendo in the future. It's the same model as the "Disney Vault" - manufactured scarcity.

@kothuboy21 @hzjoetv @bethesda Only difference is, Nintendo & Sony are both way ahead of Microsoft in console sales.. & have more players+people that actually still largely BUY games, & not a service. Most people on Xbox buy GamePass, not the individual game itself, so studios don't make as much money on Xbox.

@TheHeroicEffort @Giorno05414833 @NintendoAmerica WW HD was $50, and TP got bundled with an amiibo that was valued at $15, while also it gives new content to play in the game as well. As for Link's Awakening, that game was broken af at launch and had no reason to be that high for a broken game

@NintendoUK You guys need to sort MK8 online out , full of hackers no race is enjoyable anymore with your controller switched off mid race etc . Stopping the online subscription till you sort it out, poor service nintendo 👎

@GameDadJP - FFVI on Switch, in whatever form, would sell a ton of copies at a premium price, so unlikely SE would want it on the existing service. - Super Mario RPG was the final SNES VC release on Wii U. I speculate that every time it's released, Nintendo has to work out a new deal w/SE.

@fireandhonor @zxmppr Thats correct, Xbox One was the same. Again they work fine offline once you have done the initial update. The original Xbox and Xbox 360 did not have this issue. Nor does any PS or Nintendo console. I own all of them and have tested each one personally.

@Malcolm_Moon4 @BIue_Lagoon It's absolutely not irrelevant. You have a right to demand consistency from a company that regularly sells below industry standard hardware at an premium price. The Nintendo Switch has had broken joycons since it launched. Just demand more and don't buy bad products.

@KMorrison_Art Ah yeah, might not be a tough fix, haven’t checked out how to do that yet. I thought I heard Nintendo had a deal where you could send them in for free repairs? But then you’re out your controllers for a while...

@SpawnWaveMedia I keep thinking about what I want Nintendo to do. Part of me wants them to make a powerful console and part wants them to improve what they need to improve on (I.e. better online service).. is a revision even sensible?

@kobunheat There were rumors awhile back about a completely revamped Nintendo Online service and a Square Enix subscription service, but I’m confident that isn’t happening now.

kinda wish nintendo would just make smash ult a live service game. what the point of a new game when you have a roster size that is probably the largest its ever gonna get especially considering how well the game and dlc characters have sold so far

@IGN They didn't spend $7.5 billion for nothing.Of course there was going to be exclusivity. You don't see Sony or Nintendo games Xbox do you.I get there are people who don't like the Xbox so just get it on PC problem sovled.

Wait I just realized something. I needed to contact Nintendo support a few weeks ago, and the problem I had required me to call them. But like what if I were deaf and having that problem? Would there be no way to contact them?

@Puertorock77_ This. I have gamed on Xbox in the past. I have chosen to game on Nintendo and PS for generations. I don't have an issue AT ALL if all Bethesda games were exclusive. It is the hypocrisy that Xbots speak in about this topic. It makes me feel they want Bethesda soly as a 🖕to PS.

@poemsforthefew It’s easier for me. I like the idea that if I buy a game for my Ps4 it will run smoothly without any problems. Also Nintendo switch can be taken anywhere :)
