@famicomplicated This is hard also because Nintendo consoles were often the most neglected by third-party companies. PlayStation and Xbox usually got nearly everything Western without problems, but even some big Japanese and a many popular licensed games skipped Nintendo.

@ZhugeEX This must be expensive. I mean Nintendo has HUGE pockets so that isn't a trouble for them

@NWitheld @NintendoUK They wanted to charge me £60 to fix one of my joycons (kept drifting) which is pretty much the price of a whole new set 🤔 hopefully you can find a solution!

@NeoGameSpark Nintendo has the most trash online service, can’t even party chat. Not making excuses, just setting realistic expectations

The only consoles that GTA V did not get a re-release in are the Wii U and the Nintendo Switch. Mainly due to hardware issues like in Outer Worlds or something. I could be missing others.

@CloudySpotty As someone who still owns an NES and had to recently take it apart to try and fix the old and corroded pins, I dispute the "continue to work" part of that. :P But that technology still powers most of Nintendo's stuff (the Wii and WiiU being the only exceptions).

@NintendoItalia Thinking of Nontendo to every problem I have: here my poor eyes don't recognize the too little nations' flags😳 Can the Nintendo create a joke for Kids to recognize&learn all the Flags of all the Nations? Maybe with 2words to explain the meaning of any flag🤩

@supersambams @LonelyGoomba It's really the biggest issue in games in a lot of ways. Games are stupidly expensive to make and so we see companies like Ubisoft focus on service games, Konami become a gambling company briefly, and Nintendo relying more heavily on franchises they know will get a return.

@PointCrow Finally a way for me to calculate how much time I’ve wasted waiting for #nintendo to fix #SmashBros online.

@pcponydrone @morbamba69 @PlayerEssence I don't see the dungeon RPG selling on PC and PS4, they usually sell more on handheld, thus why that's where you'll find most of them. That's the problem, the only handheld available are from Nintendo now. P5 has no handheld version yet.

What to put in Nintendo's E3 to make me freak out: BotW2 MP Trilogy or MP4 Just anything Metroid Crash or Impa in Smash The rumoured DKC New Fire Emblem Obviously don't expect all of these. Don't want to expect anything at all tbh. But if 1 or 2 of these happen I'll be happy

@_Zeikku I've always been critical of Playstation just like I am of any corporation. I was with Xbox all last gen and certainly with Nintendo and their crappy online service. But right now I'm discussing playstation so let's keep it to that. Its not born of the Pandemic.

Nah but in all seriousness Nintendo has listened to the fans the most during the switch era unless they are new issues cough cough drift so I feel like if it was ever gonna happen...well nows the best chance given its less than a 10% in my mind

@scantypop point being that it's a valid criticism. Why do pokemon fans complain about pokemon fans complaining about actual problems like am I supposed to accept whatever Nintendo puts out?

@NWitheld @NintendoUK Oh I'm sorry to hear that! They should fix it, it's not like it's damaged on purpose 🤔😔

@EminemSwirly @BoundaryBreak I mean the Tweet was a troll but personally I'm fine with Friend Codes Real problem is lack of a party w/voice chat feature, but hey, Switch Pro on the horizon, just hoping Nintendo fixes this stuff eventually

@dkAbbaspeaks @notaxation @geoffkeighley Nintendo too. The problem is though, is Sony and Nintendo have issues in other areas. Sure, they make awesome first-party content, But Sony needs to be dragged into the crossplay era kicking and screaming, both Nintendo and Sony have terrible digital return policies, etc. (1/2)

@SMariohero It's not true. SML did bad **** with his Mario Plushies, meanwhile SMG4 had permissions and used Mario characters for his videos with no issue from Nintendo, don't be biased, dumb ****.

One problem with the Switch’s eShop is that it’s becoming like the Wii’s library - full of shovelware 🙃 a lot of the third-party games are cheap and cheaply made games to get a quick buck and Nintendo doesn’t regulate it
