@Mattsy117 @Kmega4 @GloriousKev There's more than just Nintendo games out there, even then emulation exists. I used to be fine with 30fps, but after years of 120+ it feels like a powerpoint presentation with 2 seconds of input lag.

@Arkhangel79 I think that's Microsoft's biggest issue. They don't do well managing their studios which leads to problems and delays. I think the lack of big first-party games stems from this issue. I think Sony and Nintendo to do much better with cohesion and support. I hope they make that a…

@SentyPurr that would be amazing and a little funny at least its nintendo so they would either dedicate tons of time to fixing the game or they would completely ignore that there was a problem those are odds im willing to take

@Eschamalier1 @ImTheMid Can’t even play on Nintendo since update 10.3. For every 10 games I attempt to play, I only get 1 game where it doesn’t crash during the loading phase or God pick.

@jennilovesteaa I currently have a PS4 and I want a Nintendo switch or 64 would be nice. I've currently been playing Spyro Reignited Trilogy/Crash Bandicoot Trilogy/Bendy and the ink machine/Injustice 2/ I also play DND.

@GreezTheKid @VGChartz do you know that exclusivity and timed exclusivity deals are a thing since the Nintendo x SEGA times, right? before PlayStation or Xbox even existed? and no exclusivity is not a problem, complaining about exclusivity deals and then defending acquisitions is the problem.

In the end, YouTube has their rules we have to create content within. Nintendo has their rules on top of that. We either conform and create within it, or risk getting in trouble.

@dimitri_smm I mean, I could glitch one of them into the other theme but I think Nintendo would hunt me 😬

Sometimes I just think about how awful things would be if Nintendo didn't make the GC adapter and we were stuck with pro controllers. Imagine its grands of genesis after mkleo makes a historic losers run and they're going into game 10 and leo gets blindsided by insane input lag

The email I used for my Japanese Switch account deactivated because I didn't login enough, now it works again but Nintendo can't send verification codes for logging in because the email was briefly gone, and only the Japanese support can help but they only interact in Japanese.

I could also wait for Nintendo to put Nightmare in Dreamland on the Switch Online service, but the person I want to play with doesn't have the expansion pass r.i.p.

@LordSothKotL Sony and Nintendo are also both major gaming companies while MS is a software company first and foremost. They wanna have everyone in a sub service like they do with windows. Corner the market and you can release **** that isn’t ready or finished and patch it later

@hamsolo05gaming We live in a world where people think it's cool to go against those that raise concerns or issues. Nothing different in the gaming community. These people forget the money that goes to these companies come from their wallets. They also think they work at PS, Nintendo, Xbox.

Excuse me but what are these insane Joy-con prices? Am I supposed to ask Nintendo to fix the drift WITHOUT having a spare set?

@scully1888 @PM7John Nintendo also took down and claimed videos of vanilla gameplay. As well as vanilla gameplay videos from other channels, who aren't associated with the mod. Please stop pretending that the modding is the problem here.

@Eschamalier1 @ImTheMid Deleted Smite on my Nintendo Switch. It’s the worst on the Switch. Trying to learn on PC as Hi-Rez focuses more on PC users. Smite on console will eventually die cause they refuse to fix the issues.

pokemon stadium was possibly the worst choice for an N64 game on Nintendo's online service tbh mini games have insane lag online that make some of them impossible to play you cant use your own pokemon for vs mode what's the point?!

There is no console war this Gen. It’s over. PlayStation and Nintendo dropping nukes side by side while Xbox is fighting with broken super soakers and daddy’s credit card. #PlayStation5 #Nintendo #Xbox

As a film, it's admittedly fine but not great. Suffers from a rushed plot and too much fan service - could have used another 15-25 mins for sure. But if you want a ton of obscure Mario/Nintendo easter eggs wrapped up in a fun if uncomplicated 90 minutes, it's a BLAST.

@ChristiansSays1 @ZeldaUniverse Maybe? Maybe Demise's curse is semi conscious and realizes the Ganondorf route is not working and tries something different. Nintendo has never gone into detail about how the curse actually works. We just know there is a cycle of reincarnation.

@Drew_Stew_ @tastelesstwitts @GoNintendoTweet Yea but thats more of a Problem with the laws than anything, just an fyi modding is illegal in japan and because of that Nintendo is also very hard on this, wish they do better but lets be honest unless japan changes its laws nothing to be done

Okay so Nintendo has a chat system on their website but there was nothing the customer service rep could do other than send my information off to the correct department and they can't guarantee I'll get a response but at least it's something I guess?

@AnotherZeldaFan @DeekeTweak If nintendo was smart they would pay off all media to make sure their games review well no matter their issues, oh that already happens. I guess they are smart, and rich. Mostly rich though.

@D1RTYH4NSS @DiscussingFilm It’s the crash of cinema 2023. Just like the video game crash of 1983 which the market has been plagued with mediocre ****, Nintendo would rise up and save it just like what they’re doing right now.

@NintendoAmerica @Pokemon the lag I experience while doing a Tera raid battle while I’m connected to Wi-Fi is so bad and ridiculous. Please fix it as soon as possible so that all players can enjoy the Tera raid battles.
