@jalmmv @eurogamer IF and that's a big if. Nintendo? Maybe.. PlayStation? I cannot see that happening. Because PS has their own service so that just wouldn't make sense. Also how to handle in game stuff like trophies & all that? that would be a mess. Probability of that is very low.

@MetalGuyOne @KdogGaming31 Actually I think Nintendo the worst out of the 3 when it comes to old games. Xbox is pretty good with it, but PS isn't that much of an issue either. Just don't sell your PS consoles. They all share the same power cord so you can just hotswap them right quick

@Galaxygamerone @Shpeshal_Ed @Phantom97136499 Here's the thing; Sony gets almost nothing out of the deal. It's unlikely that MSFT will give a 30% cut of XGP revenue to Sony/Nintendo to get the service on their stores. It's not going to happen.

Big brain, 1 in a million prediction: MS develops the Orion streaming tech that was under the Bethesda umbrella and pair it with their other technologies to create a fantastic streaming service. MS then runs a deal with Nintendo to allow a gamepass streaming sub for Switch...

It's official! XBOX is a service provider! It's only PlayStation and Nintendo now that ARE real console manufacturers. PlayStation being home console and games creator. Nintendo same in handheld.

@ModernVintageG @SpawnWaveMedia Nintendo will never allow a service that will deliver AAA games every 3 months for 10$ to compete with it's old *** ancient ports.

Stop using the parental control app as a Switch activity log, that's just giving Nintendo the excuse to never fix it for real.

@Real_JoeNathan The only reason I ever finished this game, was because Nintendo Power Magazine published an issue with the full map in it. Without that, I never would have finished it. The 8-bit version of Cyndi Lauper's song played throughout this game is STILL stuck in my f**king head.

@ElgatoSupport I'm capturing the nintendo switch & have the elgato game capture software + audio settings app downloaded. I haven't tried capturing anything else. I think I might have figured out the issue & it's because the quality of the capture 720 didn't match my OBS output 1080

@sabinespocket @ACNHPalm Reading her rants is hilarious. “I DONT LIKE TO START DRAMA... BUT A LINE HAS BEEN CROSSED!!” We’ve got ac accounts out here using slurs, and ACTUALLY tracing commissioned art for sale... these are the real community issues. Nintendo encourages sharing. Hence creator codes.

@digitalfoundry Yeah but you can't play crash on the toilet on a ps5. So instant win for Nintendo.

(@sspangler15) reported
@blackhamma23 Ya. One of the problems with Nintendo is they don’t give their consoles enough power. Like, buying a game for the switch should not cost as much as a PS4 or PS5 game because they don’t support 4K. They’re great games, but still shouldn’t cost that much

SuperNGuy / Play ARMS!
(@SuperNGuy) reported
As for Non Nintendo related issues? - I legit cant say, "I like ARMS" or "ARMS is good" without getting laughed at - Most people bash on this game and dont understand it or havent even played it yet - People think we dont exist, they say "The 2 ARMS fans" or **** like that

We Should Not Peep At Goblin Men
(@RyanmEft) reported
I contend there's nothing like this going on right now. Nintendo or Disney's vault practices are not the same, because if you bought the content you still have it. Shutting down a server is not the same, because those games are usually on a subscription service or very outdated.

@Victor_Lucas No but only because I don't have an Xbox system. If I had one, I'd subscribe most likely. It sounds like a great service. I wish that rumor of it coming to the Nintendo Switch had been true.

@Lamar76metal @NintendoAmerica I had the same problem, for some reason you have to spawn it really far away.. like spawn it over the edge you’re standing on and it should work. So weird. Haven’t really had problems aside from training

Now we're boppin'!
(@redpixelstory) reported
@JayRPGee Keep in mind games only cost what they did in the 80s/90s because of the market crash. Nintendo and Sega were basically gambling with the fate of an entire industry.
