put Octopath Traveller on Xbox but not PlayStation, just to turn around and put the sequel on PlayStation but not Xbox? Why make Chocobo GP but A) only put it on Nintendo, and B) make a ******* live service kart racer? They're the definition of incompetent-

@CommunistPrtyAC I don't like it because to do anything online it requires a subscription to Nintendo's service. I bought the game. I'm not paying a monthly fee to be able to play it beyond story mode. Ridiculous.

@NintendoAmerica I was unlucky enough to receive update 15.0.1 which turned my switch into an expensive brick. Took it everywhere to figure out the problem, it came down to software update and you all won't let us roll back updates to when it did work.

Huge shoutout to @survivetheark for overhauling and fixing the Nintendo Switch version. I sold my original because it was so broken but I bought the new version on a whim and I’ve been having a blast for the past several days. I can already tell this’ll be one of my go-to games.

@UbisoftSupport @K3H03 @UbisoftSupport It's already been a month since we are having issues with Just Dance 2023 on nintendo switch. And the fact is that you're doing nothing to solve it.

Can’t believe SMT now has the opposite problem of Persona accessibility wise where most are stuck on Nintendo consoles with wants for other console/pc ports. (This is a cry out to bring smt4 to consoles)

@NintendoAmerica Fix your servers for Splatoon 3. The game is unplayable due to the servers kicking people out of matches and disconnects. FIX THEM!!

Joycon drift is finally affecting my sister and I’s Switch… I really wish this wasn’t such a huge issue for Switches mine is abt 4 yrs old but we both take good care of it Not only does it take away from immersion in a game but it’s a ridiculous hassle on Nintendo’s part

@Pushypinny Ignore these bozos in the replies. It’s honestly stupid that people expect you to play worse just because Nintendo doesn’t have good matchmaking. Most people have been through this before so idk why it’s different now. All competitive games have this problem

@JuiceMan_V Nintendo's are still mostly physical, though with a large digital presence due entirely to DLC and games which are live service where it is understandable to buy digital. The single player only games, even the ones with DLC sell strongly physically though.

Props to team NW - they are clearly trying their hardest to enforce the rules & make people aware of the current issues, it’s just a REALLY bad look at competitive integrity from Nintendo. @Nintendo @playpokemon

I thought my Nintendo switch was broken because I haven't turned it on in months since I was charging it for a few hours. But it turned back on after charging it for at least almost a whole day.

Ok this **** has gotten way worse to where it's just a gamble whether I'll be able to play for hours uninterrupted or if I get the error within 20 minutes of playtime... Thanks, Nintendo.
