@xMBGx I will never defend these like what we see from all companies, Xbox released under performance games, PlayStation released Unfinished or broken games on PC, and Nintendo charging 70 dollars for a game in a 7 years old console ( a new gen price).

@ledgedemon @Hidorisu_ and I did say we would have to live off the patch notes so whenever nintendo decides to gaf and change some tweaks other than that the comp side is in trouble I fear…

@Blanq17 @rocobonnaro1003 @blythos They made a profit selling hardware and software that circumvented Nintendo copy protection. The ethics of that are certainly debatable. But they never "bricked" devices. If a device got bricked, that's an error made by the user, not a malicious act.

@Vicctterr @trifudgepudding @PointCrow He said he didn't want to do anything and risk putting his and his team's livelihoods at risk. Not that he couldn't. And nintendo could have issued one strike, not two. Or better yet, could have avoided issuing strikes altogether and only issue claims or takedowns.

@ArloStuff Nintendo having their own music streaming service would be a terrible idea. Sounds good at first then you realize it’s Nintendo and it’ll just be NES songs and SNES songs 2 years after launch

@ArloStuff Nintendo needs to stop making games and marketing them as live service games only to abandon them shortly after release. It's more of an excuse to avoid backlash when games like Mario Strikers are released lack luster and after a few content updates the games are left too rot.

6 days ago I bought a Nintendo Switch version of Just Dance 2023 edition for the kids, process of redeeming the code supplied in the package didn't work. Opened a service ticket at #Ubisoft. 6 days and ticket still in status 'New'

@DestroshadeTTV @Oscarosorio138 @UniDaSensei I prefer to own my games I've been doing it since the first Nintendo. Even had a Neo geo back then as well. Every console i had back then I had ownership to those games. We our in 2023 and nothing has changed for me. I have zero problems spending £70 on quality games

@GamersInitiati1 @PeterOvo5 Of course it does for Microsoft. Their console don’t sell as good as Sony or Nintendo’s. Software sales are abysmal on Xbox. The only thing they can is rope you guys in to another subscription service. And even that’s not blowing up the way Microsoft expected it to.

@Markis5150 @IdleSloth84_ The only problem is. I'm a console gamer. I don't want to go back to playstation. I don't want to build a PC and Nintendo's hardware is pathetic. Their games shouldn't cost 70 dollars. I need Xbox to stick with Xbox!! Its my perfered and primary console. We need a Dreamcast 2!!

@Keeby219 …I think there might be a disconnect soap let me rephrase. Pizza Tower exist tooth spit Nintendo due tooth their negligence of the Wario Land sires. Plus they “might” need tooth censor some things. (However I don’t gnome how strict Nintendo is with some of that stuff)

@faustistic I am not comment in on the issue itself here, and "No ethical consumption under capitalism" is thrown around a lot but it is still important for cases like this because again a lot of companies have ties to Nintendo so one needs to figure out how "close to that case" is too close

@DanWritehead @Ghost_In_Exile @redslewnninja That said, there were absolutely incredible advances in Mario 64 and Zelda OOT that were almost impossible. Nintendo basically fast-forwarded a whole generation with the number of playability problems in 3D that they solved with those two games.

Kids should use smartphones and Tablets. We had Nintendo 64 and Game Boy Advances And PlayStations and Xboxes. We spent as much time on those as anything. Just limit your kids and do what you think is right for them. Technology isn’t the problem.

@SuperCitrusTV @ArloStuff That's a really bad idea for many reasons: 1. Nintendo doesn't really have an experience for working on ports of their games and developing for platforms that they have zero control over can lead to many problems, just look at TLOU1 port by Sony.

@ArloStuff The retro games service on Nintendo Switch Online is better than Virtual Console, especially the Wii U one. Let's be real, even if we could buy "niche" games like Excitebike from NES on Nintendo Switch, no one would actually do it.

@PatchYourselfUp Nintendo online are ridiculous given how bad poor they are, I've personally had so many issues with it and the prices for it are insane. Trying to get access to their old games is also just s nightmare. Idk i love their content but their many choices make me frown

@XboxGamePassPC nah, my xbox stopped playing xbox games one month after the warranty ranout and now you want $300 to fix it. You ruined Halo anyway. I'll be on @NintendoAmerica

@kentonagbone I think that still has some of the same blurry marketing issues, but it's fair the SNES had overall clearer branding. Also, parents early 90s weren't so sure what the difference was. Super Nintendo being perceived as a marketing trick was a common enough sentiment at the time.

@NVIDIAGFN It’s true but the gamepads like ps4, ps5 or nintendo switch are not recognized and detect them as xbox gamepad by default. Unfortunately, the software is not at fault since it was from your servers part that got problem.

@Vanisher369 @ArloStuff There were a lot of issues that made the Wii U fail, like bad marketing, lack of interest on Nintendo's brand on the early 2010's and failing to make the gimmick show it's potential, and I don't feel they have done that with the Switch? And I don't feel some meh spin offs affect

(@SuperCitrusTV) reported
@ArloStuff I wish the Switch had failed so Nintendo would have been forced to become a third party developer for other platforms. Most of their issues this generation have come down to shoddy hardware and services, and their games could shine even brighter on more powerful hardware.

@Jje261 @ArloStuff My thing is that if they created their own. If they worked with an existing streaming service, I think it would work better. But knowing Nintendo they just won't do it and no one can explain why.

@ArloStuff Nintendo locking older content (NES/SNES/N64 etc) behind a subscription service that will inevitably be shut down is greedy, and I hate it.

@ArloStuff I DO NOT want a new 3D Donkey Kong game. I would much rather have Nintendo expand on what made the 2D Country games so GOOD instead of trying to fix the failures of the 20+ year old 3D DK game.

@mcdecaff @boredonterra @VitoComedy What kind of quality of life updates? I think part of the problem is if you're playing it via emulation, the emulator has to be set up properly for games to control well. I have tried various controllers only to find that the ones that work best with N64 games are Nintendo ones.
