Smith & Company Creations (supersmith2500)
(@supersmith2500) reported
@AidenRS139 Get rid of Sonic Boom (and it's 3DS games). Broken, glitchy, rushed for a TV show, dialed in, generic, frame dropping pile of vomit that was out for a failed Nintendo exclusive.

@WhyDoIHaveThi18 @MustyINSPACE @NintendoUK I don't think *anyone* in the UK grabbed a copy, because it seemed like a placeholder that was taken down in error. Hell, the Nintendo UK store doesn't even have the box art for the vanilla release yet!! Absolute shambles.

@LonelyGoomba I cant tell if this is out of genuine appreciation for jelly boy or out of spit for Nintendo's subpar online service

@DanzaDragon yeah it sucks, Kuroodod and Zonkpunch had to basically completely quit using Nintendo characters due to copyright issues, pretty sad in my opinion :(

@RealSuperSlime like if I can run slippi on a 2008 mac I should be able to on the switch, or Nintendo shouldn’t be charging more than 200 dollars for a system with this many issues

@KingMetalZel I returned mine and went digital. I *think* the issue is that it's Koei and not Nintendo. I'd check online to see if it got fixed before taking action

Overall I've had issues with every single modern controller I've owned recently within 6 months of owning. Nintendo, Sony, Microsoft all have drift issues, 8BitDo had an issue with the face rubber.

@NintendoAmerica I wasn’t a fan of the original but the new controls and quality of life improvements fixed my major issues with the game and I enjoyed it enough to finish it this time around.

@pleasantmilksh1 @NintendoAmerica The problem with Experience share always on and even how catching pokemon gains experience points is that it removes options to make the game more challenging. In sword and shield I had to purposely limit the amount of battles I did or use more than 6 pokemon. Which is dumb.

@32DaCrow @DanydoughnutKng @NintendoAmerica 80 dollar controllers shouldn’t drift at all regardless of whether the fix is free or not? No matter the company, I should get what I pay for.

Ooooook. I just noticed the gaming industry problems. Indie games have risen a **** ton while triple A industries like Nintendo and Sega have both given out Mediocre to terrible games as of recent when they are both known for their passion games SA2, Mario 64, etc. :I

@NukaKong @roberthouse1985 As I said mate, the NES mini is the only thing the Nintendo store have screwed up for me. Not heard of anyone having issues ordering the pads. Plus there better not be any as I've ordered the pads too.
