@LiliTheGamer I seen a lot of screw up by Nintendo lately, they haven't fix the Joy-Con drifts, they still charge gamers full price for games, they still refuse to listen to their western gaming fans, the latest NSO game lineup still got dislikes from their western fans, but not from Japan.

@Speend10 @NintendoAmerica I played it on switch lite and never had a single frame drop or lag

@MadCatz How do you play games on a web service? I severely doubt either Netflix will have a console or will be allowed on PlayStation, Xbox or Nintendo.

@Nintendeal Whats the issue with them both existing? Even if you cant emulate switch games, have a switch for portable nintendo games and a steam deck for portable everything else. Why does one thing have to kill the other instead of just having another option to play?

It’s been 4 days and people are already calling any Pokémon that isn’t a speedster or attacker lame. I’m starting to think that type of thing is a Nintendo fan problem and not a smash fan problem.

@NintendoAmerica! I DEMAND SUPER MARIO RPG AND EARTHBOUND FOR THE SNES LIBRARY IN YOUR NINTENDO SWITCH ONLINE SERVICE! WHY WON'T YOU PUT THEM ON THERE?! WHY DID DO YOU KEEP INSISTING ON ADDING TITLES THAT NO ONE EVER KNEW ABOUT IN THE FIRST PLACE?! WHY?!

@Eskalia The issue is wealth inequality & the way the world economy is built it doesn’t matter. Nintendo could loose 500M every year for like 30+ yrs. Not saying buy their ****, but it’s just sad cause it doesn’t really phase them. It’s criticism, bad public image is all we got.

@IronJoeBro @Nanachi_chibi Exactly. If they have no problem bringing in minecraft characters and other non-nintendo-exclusives I doubt they would leave out Waluigi for that reason.

@CasperSteelant @Stealth40k Well there's a ton of evidence for it. The 25th anniversary of Crash is about when the DLC is gonna release based off of the others and Nintendo made a tweet saying "It's About Time" with the Smash Clock. Also Playstation/Sony has no rep when Microsoft does

@sjake333 @GendoWasRight The problem are the constant comparisons to the Nintendo Switch, which, (I can't believe I'm about to say this in 2021) is not a PC, that just add to the "bad information" pot.

@m_rizky_gumilar @godofwahhhhhh @Nintendeal How? The entire market is fretting on how to catch them and Sony can't even manage a decent rollout. They could be selling Ambrosia and have trouble with hardware launches right now and need to focus. Nintendo is going nowhere.

@Desu_Azu @emileeinpain I'm talking about pirating games on a switch so there's no real performance difference in that case. If they did run it on a pc there would be so many issues with it morally. You could run switch games better than a switch so does that mean Nintendo doesn't deserve money at all.

@EEvisu Or even better get Yugioh World Championship 2008 for the Nintendo DS. That should solve all your problems.

@SpawnWaveMedia Nintendo has implemented their online so terribly that I don't think they can meaningfully improve it until the next gen Switch. Separating the Virtual Console stuff would kill off what little value NSO has, and the service is so cheap that any price increases are a hard sell.

@Ruleof2Review It's not licensing issues. It's the fact that nintendo is unwilling to give us the actual games we want like Mario RPG. They don't want to because they think that's money they are missing out on. It's purely greed. remove VC make us pay for what we don't want.

@Nanachi_chibi @Zeldamaster9001 @TrashUnleashedR Right, I just dont agree that someone has to be in a main game to make it to Smash Bros. If they are fine with bringing in non-nintendo-exclusives and including minecraft characters (wtf) then I doubt that they would have a problem with Waluigi being included.

w/same joystick hardware that has a high likelihood of failing even after the plethora of feedback, they've received, its like Nintendo come on! don't be Nintendont and not attack issue proactively especially when planning to release new model 2/ #NintendoSwitch

@RinoDino64 @DulllenDuck Isolating myself won't change the fact that newer fans get angry because we got a Nintendo DLC character over Crash or Dante.

@JackpotSyndrome yeah this is basically how i feel. also important to consider that nearly every major game release is broken or otherwise incomplete at launch/on the physical copy so those physical copies will be paperweights the second nintendo shuts down the switch eshop anyway

@PVAPaint @sjake333 PC gamers don't seem to have an issue, but some console gamers are having a hard time understanding what Steam Deck being a PC means. They think Valve controls the thing like Nintendoes.

@SuperLiveGaming They Need to Add N64 Games to make the Service 10x better I mean Sure Nintendo has bad Online Service but they can do So much better if they add N64 GameCube & GBA

@Nintendeal Nintendo's always been able to carve its own niche so I don't think it'll hurt them that much. I'd say it's more of a Vita 2 Killer in that Sony would have major problems if they tried to come out with a new portable since they're the kind of company to go for high specs.

@DriftCons @TylerWinstead8 @TheNCSmaster I don’t think he meant crash was missing from smash bros. He was just saying that the crash commercial where he rolls up to Nintendo and flames them is also an iconic commercial similar to the smash one

@_JENNAexe_ OMG! I would love either one of these. The only issue I see possibly is that both are Nintendo/Sega properties which neither seems to show much desire to explore creating for VR
