@NiGHTS108 I really think they shouldn't do it. Nintendo would have a issue with that.

Note: I played this game on the Nintendo Switch, so I expected compression. I will not be leaving out lag issues, though.

@a_moral_atheist this is singlehanded the worst designed character in all or smash from a franchise MADE by nintendo but they ******* refuse to fix it

@PhantasyStarBoy I think it’s because Nintendo doesn’t really have and never had a subscription type of service similar to that. Right or wrong, Live/Gamepass is similar enough to PSNow/PS+ that people make the comparison. MLB the show coming to Gamepass and not a Sony service doesn’t help.

Like, they made a console that has trash controllers that stop working after a couple months and they have an online subscription that did absolutely nothing to fix the already underwhelming online play for their games. @NintendoAmerica #NintendoSwitch

@Louis_a_Wilson @MGuyota @MysticRyan I stopped buying Xbox games completely too, why would you? But Xbox games also get CHEAP quick. Gears 5 was like $20 a few months after release. Another huge reason Sony and Nintendo dont need to do a streaming service, they still sell a lot of games, Nin's "sales" only $10 off!

@TheNCSmaster Even though I didn’t like odyssey too much, I feel like a game like that with even bigger more explorable worlds will be so much fun. Maybe even online co-op, that is if Nintendo fixes their ****** online service. The movement mechanics were a lot of fun, the game was just short

Anyone else having major issues with @FortniteGame on the Nintendo switch? I've deleted and redownloaded it many times. But basically it doesn't render at all, I don't load in like at all and usually my game crashed when I try to play a match :/ i wanna see if it's just my switch

@LBD_Nytetrayn Aesthetically? Maybe. They may even have some of the same issues behind the scenes: interesting ideas with poor implementation & level design, and some engine trouble/wrong platform targets. Nintendo Life saying it feels like it was meant for mobile makes the most sense to me.

@OrigiGreatness Game pass is a solution to a problem that only the Xbox platform was having - people not buying games. It’s the best way for MS to monetize content while Sony and Nintendo laugh to the bank selling games people actually want for full price.

@King_Games Or just release the game on PS4, PS5, XBOX One, XBOX Series X and Nintendo Switch then at least I know it won’t crash it seems home consoles are superior to phones and IPods in that respect

I know I'm going to sound like a Nintendo shill, but I just calibrated my joy cons after dealing with mild drift for a little bit, and it seems to have gone away. I can't help but wonder how many other people with drift just haven't even tried to fix it.

@FortniteStatus Still having the issue today. Tried Aux cables, different controllers, called Nintendo. Any other suggestions for us?

-If there's any other things that I personally feel about Sony, it's this; They're just another Nintendo in my eyes A company that makes relatively good hardware and mostly adequate software But has a terrible service, a total disregard of preservation & out of touch decisions

Even with all it’s problems flipnote studio was one of the most downloaded dsiware and nintendo never seemed to give a **** since. Maybe it’s nostalgia talking but I’d kill for another online community in the same vain as hatena like idk just make a flipnote for switch already

@TTTTTsd_ the problem is that Nintendo doesn't make PC games and m+kb is the only other control scheme that feels like it could handle the game's pace

One thing I feel like people don't understand is that if Nintendo had a better matchmaking system, and you were suddenly going to get 3000xp without trouble every time, you'd just start complaining that you can't hit 3400xp instead, for the same reasons.

@arietta_rose Oh no! Is the joycon drifting? Nintendo will fix it for free. But waiting sucks. I have extra joycons or a pro controller if you guys need to borrow it too!

@KIM64524605 @FatalityFalcon Damn, can't believe owning a copy of the game already is called pirating, also playing on a better online service isn't a violation of their tos since we're not modifying it directly and emulation isn't completely illegal too, Nintendo has done it with sunshine and galaxy lol
