@Gavin4t0r @uravrgscrollr @PoorlyAgedStuff I’m not doing that, I’m just extremely worried that it will become an issue. I guess it’s just misdirected anger. I’m mad at Nintendo for knowing there’s a problem but not doing anything about it.

@WalmartCAGaming Since I only own one, it's the E3 Pikachu from like 1999 or 2000 that came in a Nintendo Power issue

@Seena_SWG Belive me I see your point but rigth now the industry has far worst problems that Gamepass. I hope that all of studios that Microsoft, Sony and Nintendo are acquiring get the founds to make the games they want and also I hope gamers appreciate those games...

@BrianNHollister @crossingcolleen the issue with this, is that its still basically implimenting pay for item, just on an app instead. they should just put the items in animal crossing. if indie devs can give us the world on a platter for 20 bucks (looking at hollow knight and stardew) nintendo can be half decent

@TaylorSwitch64 @WoodenPlank Meanwhile Crash Bandicoot is all set knowing he’s very likely gonna be in Super Smash Bros Ultimate DX (assuming we won’t get a proper sequel for a whole console generation or two based on Sakurai’s comments, and that Nintendo still wants to squeeze money out of Smash)

Working for Nintendo social media would be hell. You wake up every morning and there's some tweet like "The logo on this trailer was 2 pixels to the left they better fix this **** for real" and it has 5000 retweets.

@sethmacy On a screen that small 1080p/60 is the way for me. I just want the games to run perfectly on the system they are supposedly designed for, which is something it feels like Nintendo always used to do Not super crazy high fidelity, but look really nice and run without issues.

@OverblownEgo @KanesTheName Nintendo even went as far as to dismiss drifting as "not a problem" at one point, at least that's how I remember it.

@asseMBly_needed fun fact: nintendo actually discontinued that service after a few months, so this isnt even true

@PlayerEssence I don't think Nintendo's hardware issues are malicious, but their negligence is an issue. as for SteamDeck, we don't know how wide spread the issue is yet.

@Vet_infin Nintendo: "Drift isn't a real issue" - Nearly 5 Years later Valve: "Oh we messed up the deadzones but don't worry, it's already fixed" - One Week later

@ThatOneMouse2 @AestheticsValve Oh I’m very aware, I hate Nintendo with every fibre of my being I’m just stating the obvious since most people can’t tell the difference between a software and hardware issue.

genuinely think that the ps5 is by far the worst console i have EVER owned. the amount of issues and random bullshit that goes wrong with it is at least ten times more than i have with any microsoft or nintendo product. it is consistently an awful experience

@drilbit777 @DigitalXAddict @TheNCSmaster That's pretty much due to a lot of factors involved as we all know. The marketing issue, not enough resources to make HD titles and even nintendo didn't use modern enough tech on wii u to make development for themselves and third-parties which makes HD development difficult.

@BluDYT @lawrenceyang They *can* be a quick fix, I've fixed multiple Joycons for a few bucks each. It's just that with integrated sticks it's a concern of whether it's designed to be easy to replace or not. The Nintendo DS series had easily replaceable sticks but the Switch Lite doesn't.

@gduem13 @SaladTongs69 5 years is more than enough to fix a hardware issue. Add salt to the wound by Nintendo claiming that joycon drift isn't a real issue.

@Sean8UrSon they split the teams up and have several years to work on these games, they've explained this. that's not to say working conditions for game developers are perfect, but that's not a problem exclusive to pokemon/nintendo
