@YuichiYami @jthomasgordy @AustinJohnPlays I agree but that’s the only way I can think of sticking it to them until they come around. Unfortunately, most people will only continue to throw money at the problem and make it so that Nintendo has no reason to change.

@Beamo1080 @haide023 @FerrisWheelPro Swift Sail doesn't make you faster. It just changes the wind direction to whichever way you're sailing so that you don't have to play a song every time. Nintendo didn't have a problem letting you save anytime in MM3D.

@Luis_GVN So how is it any different? Because you're claiming it's Xbox because you sign in to a Microsoft account on PC. Why are PlayStation, Nintendo, android, and iOS not Xbox but pc is?

@richie_farley1 I really don't think it's Smash-related and just a new Crash Bandicoot project of sorts. I feel Nintendo wouldn't really allow them to tease the next character in Smash to begin with being under NDA (even if they don't say it outright). I'm hoping we'll get Crash eventually tho.

Lmao 2K servers down, prolly cause new players who downloaded the game free on Epic overloaded the servers, can’t even connect on the Nintendo Switch version either

@yourstepbr0s @xtheoxo @XcloudTimdog Nintendo outsells PlayStation and Xbox so they have no games? It means nothing? And can we talk about bc problems of the PS5? Except for PS games only, all games run far better on Xbox

@jan204re @nintendolife No console is perfect. The Wii U wasn't awful but it wasn't great either. Bad marketing, Nintendo had poor relationship with 3rd parties so releases were few and the ones that did had support issues. The issue where the Wii U didnt know what it was supposed to be, etc.

@TheNintendoFeed The cost doesn't surprise me, but the function of the amiibo did. I do think this wasn't the best idea from Nintendo, but it isn't the end of the world. It doesn't change the game drastically, and I don't remember the transition being that much of an issue originally.

@Rodrigo88154870 @TheRealZakPak @NintendoAmerica Take street fighter, guilty gear, crash team racing, sonic’s spin-offs. Those games have 25 MAX and rarely ever even hit that limit. (Not including dlc)

@NintendoAmerica Where Diddy, Birdo, and Koopa Troopa? Nintendo need to quit with this BS "service over time" method, they're just withholding characters and content. JUST RELEASE THE FULL GAME, you can add to it after.

@hades_acnh The problem I have with them is that if a new update doesn't include Brewster or anything from the previous game, they'll be like "Guys, this update is literal **** and so disappointing. Nintendo needs to do better." They won't have anything nice to say about it.

@7HeartGuardiaYT @So_Ethereal @NintendoAmerica I've heard people had issues. My biggest complaint was how quick it went. Wished it lasted longer.

@Rendum26 @TheRealZakPak @NintendoAmerica It’s not so much dismissing criticism as it is dismissing unneeded criticism. If people complain over every single dumb little thing that, then the stuff that is actually a problem and actually should be criticized gets drowned out

@jan204re @nintendolife "Nintendo has become a ********" isn't the position I would live and die by. I mean, I agree with you on several angles but the Switch isn't as bad as you say. I think people look past minor issues enough that overall the product is worth it, at least to the beat of 84 mil.

@SFounder2019 @gpowerf And we could make a list of products or services killed by Microsoft, Apple, Sony, Nintendo... big companies can't succeed all the time. Sadly it's only an issue for Google apparently.

@LiatLNS @Cheesehead302 @BoundaryBreak Again as some have said, Nintendo does a pretty decent job of archiving their stuff. The problem is making it publicly accessible in an easy way. The vast majority of their historical game library are not being sold or distributed in any official capacity.

@SpectrlDynamite @mariesleepy @NintendoAmerica Ok but the most recent of any of those dropped 5 months ago. This is a paid service, and they got rid of virtual console for this "feature", only to sell the more popular games back to us at 20+ bucks a pop, for 30 year old games. This is why people pirate.

@Reecee_yt This is exactly why nintendo should have kept virtual console on the switch, I'd rather buy specific games i really love than be on some stupid streaming service ****. They be actin like their ******* netflix.

Why is Skyward Sword HD the game Nintendo is milking so hard right now? The game and amiibo are so overpriced! The joycons are also too much but that’s a problem with all joycons ($80 for a controller that breaks)

@pelican_food Okay so in 2010 there was a magazine in the UK called ONM (Official Nintendo Magazine), and in the latest issue at the time there was a comment comparing Mario’s Boos to Weeping Angels. So I immediately went to find these “Weeping Angels” and was obsessed ever since.

Criticizing Nintendo is important and good. All companies should be criticized, and none should be immune. However, whats also important is to not complain about dumb stuff. If people whine over every little non problem, then actual criticism isn’t going to get heard
