CEO of Farming impressions for DANNYonPC

@DANNYonPC @King_Jacobbb This is something that 100% should be pointed out regardless of brand. If alien ware, xbox, Nintendo or anyone else did it, it'd be the same issue

@Shahryar @SonicHackintosh Nintendo’s priority is profit margin. The Switch doesn’t sell at a loss and they use dated technology to maximize revenue vs costs. Expect a Lite OLED two years from now and a New!Nintendo Switch four years from now to address performance issues.

@SonicHackintosh I feel the Nintendo Switch needs better online service generally. There's a lack of messaging systems too and they haven't done that since the Wii friend code messaging and Wii U with Miiverse instead of social media platforms.

@hulu_support any way to fix why my audio is not working on the app for Xbox but working perfectly fine my Nintendo Switch.

@Reeset_YT Nintendo Land should come to Switch with online and local play, that would fix the gamepad issue

@SonicHackintosh Smash Bros. Ultimate and Super Mario Maker 2 are clear examples of bad Nintendo support. If you are paying for a service, you expect it to be quality, not deplorable. I love Switch, but this look sucks. I mean, are you paying for a connection that was free but worse?

@SonicHackintosh Joy-Con Drift is a big issue, Nintendo's dislike towards fan creations, NSO being kinda worthless other than to play with others, Switch menu is bland and the OLED Switch having an actual Ethernet port 4 years later.

@MessianicBelief @BronzeBoy_YT @SyncRav Except things like Mario 63 were able to stay up with no problem. Nintendo is extremely unpredictable on if they'll go after any given fangames if the creator isn't trying to profit off the game.

Ok so I've reached an issue I've never really had before. Until recently I've never owned two platforms of the same generation besides a few Xboxes and Nintendo systems, but by the point of those they weren't getting the same games. Do I buy Games for my OG Xbox or Gamecube.

(@NightRocc) reported
@Jafartomo @Kupovi_ @DynamoSuperX The issue isn’t with the simplicity in itself, just the fact the switch menu feels like it has NO PERSONALITY. All of the iconic Nintendo charm from the wii/wii u era was sucked out, just sorta leaving an empty husk.

@Stockfootage_M saddest thing is that nintendo doesn't even care about that issue, as it still persisted even in the new oled model

@1nfernape @Icy_Wings @ImagesMetroid ...not to mention that we're in the middle of a dollar crisis where anything in USD is exceedingly expensive. Thing is, other companies try to work around the problem and meet our demands so they can sell. Nintendo doesn't care, relies on rabid rich fanboys and now we do piracy!

@SonicHackintosh Joycon drift, my switch has broken twice and physical Nintendo games don't seem to have good sales.

@feli @emileighcrossin My son has drift problems but we lift the rubber on the control, spray a small amount of electrical WD40 and it gets rid of the problem. This advice was from Nintendo itself and works.

@RoseSilicon64 Joy cons. My lite started drifting but at least i managed to fix it. But god Nintendo,either learn how to make analogue sticks,or go back to a circle pad.

@PoipoleBoi @NintendoAmerica Always has! The several launch pairs I have still work without issue. I'm aware Joycon drift exists, but take better care of your stuff; there's a direct correlation between the breakdown of materials and user aggressiveness/cleanliness.

@ImagesMetroid @Icy_Wings For context: Brazil kept pirating PS2 games until Sony came over and started making their copies here. Till this day, PS4 games are roughly cheaper than in the US and affordable to the public. Nintendo ignored these problems, left, set up an overpriced eShop and called it a day.

@MOMO_ID_ @Fizzi36 I mean, if you send a death threat, you're a moron. Plain and simple. Actual Nintendo supporters are a great part of the problem here. Unless we somehow get to that audience, Nintendo won't change their practices

@Splitgate To splitgate I am a fellow Nintendo Switch player, I would like to get a chance to play split gate I've played it before on GeForce now but the unpleasant lag was unbearable and I would love it if Steam would make split gate come to Nintendo Switch.

And yes Nintendo has it's problems I won't even pretend they don't but at least they aren't afraid to try new things.

Why is nintendo switch online sooo ****? Cloud saves suck + you need a paid account, connections always drop in smash and mario kart **** service please fix it :( @NintendoAmerica

(@chozogoat) reported
@1nfernape @Icy_Wings @ImagesMetroid Wage ain't the only problem. Nintendo is the only major game company that hasn't even tried to adapt their prices to the Brazilian market to meet demand. There's little reason to pirate PS, XB and PC games since they sell AAA titles for roughly $40, while Nintendo does it for $90

@whybotherwithem @GameSpot Buying from them makes you part of the problem and reason why they exist. I wouldn't spend 1k on a PS5 or Nintendo Switch, games with exclusives and excellent libraries, I'm damn sure not spending that on a 3rd party box just to play multiplats.

Fun fact: I have a certain soft cheerful cadence to my voice that people THINK I'm either gay or Canadian. I called Nintendo US support for my broken Zelda OoT music CD and the guy just said "Okay we'll send you a new one. Where do you live? I mean Canada obviously but address?"
