@P_Cat_ @Anxiouskittens @Stealth40k I don’t play xcock either, and i am hating because sony knows how to do remasters and remakes the correct way. And until people stop buying Nintendo’s lazy upscaled ports we will never get that spyro or crash trilogy style remake from them as a company.

@Ivan_Moronta @dbrand If I had an issue with a product, dbrand would avoid pushing it to the market in the first place. Because they actually did that with Nintendo Switch skins.

3.) Lack of Third-Party devs. In addition to the cartridge issue, Nintendo had a history of treating Third-Party devs like total garbage during the NES & SNES days when they were dominant. So when Sony entered the scene, they ditched Nintendo, leading to N64 game droughts.

@SupergiantGames @Nintendo I can’t download the update due to the 2123-1502 error on my switch and it won’t let me play until I update the game😭 @NintendoAmerica please fix it soon!

@Zipzalp Blowing into things solved issues since the first Nintendo. When my Super Nintendo wouldn't work I took the cartridge out, blew into it and the console, and then enjoyed my now functioning game. There is nothing a good blow couldn't fix.

Like just, look at the labels on a Nintendo Switch trigger, and you'll see the problem. You know. If you look at other prominent games that used Xelu, and you squint at their glyphs, you'll find they appear to have either edited the labels, or just redrawn the glyphs for Switch.

@_connectedfm Wouldn’t Nintendo Switch Online be the subscription service you were describing? @imyke @viticci

@HamonBeat Problem with it's library is that has barely any good games that weren't published by Nintendo themselves. compare that to Playstation where most of the best games on that system weren't published by Sony.

@NintendoCanada I'd buy it if it was $40, but $80 for a low-effort port that doesn't even fix the motion controls? Yawn.

@MacCheeser @shirazghauri97 @SahilBloom If only we had figures to compare digital sales through Xbox/PlayStation/Nintendo e-stores vs all others combined. The major issue - especially with Nintendo - is they will lock your account and ban you if you purchase from a non-authorized digital retailer.

@FranticSociety I really dug it. Something about the angle of the grips on xbox controller always gives me wrist cramps. I never noticed any issues with the stick position. Really, Nintendo hasn't had a controller I've had any problems with since NES. Hot take, N64+Rumble Pak=😽👌

@SulamaTraore Nintendo & sega was in a bad spot during that gen. Cause right after n64 GameCube and Dreamcast. GameCube didn’t get all the games like ps2 and OG Xbox Dreamcast didn’t either plus had piracy issues.

@vicloveshimbos To use a non-nintendo example I have no problem with Xbox/PC players not having super detailed knowledge about jrpgs because obviously they didn't get the same amount of exposure but when they act dismissive of them that's when it crosses a line.

@luci_4k I'll have to see, I've had this problem for years now and I'm scared it might be the fan not working properly, its one of the release switches and I was just too lazy to send it to nintendo back then and now the warrantys gone

@ExpansionLord @Proximius @yggdrasilsaltar I personally have no problem with people pirating games because that's their decision to do so, it just gets annoying when they act self-righteous about it. Like when they proudly boast that they're Anti-Nintendo but still enjoy their products.

Because that screenshot has errors: you can't get that life count and score on the first stage in Super Mario Bros. 2 through normal gameplay and Nintendo would never make that sort of error on mistake.

@NintendoAmerica where is something you can fix with #SkywardSwordHD One in prison fight in boss rush! It is too difficult to get the Hyrule shield because you fight the imprisoned 3 different times and your hearts are most likely low at that point!

@Mookie6209 @ob1alex29 @HMKilla If Nintendo decided to re-issue the console and games, my point would be defunt. But it's the reason why porting it to current generation consoles is only logical.

I was an avid Nintendo Power reader as a kid, and when the articles and photos started getting published about the Ultra 64, I was instantly sold. But, there was one problem. There was no way that my parents were going to buy one for me for my August birthday ahead of release.

@easygantor @GreatAegon I never owned a Wii or a Wii U, so Nintendo has gotten me to buy games for those systems that I never played, and been able to charge me full price, but it is not a sustainable model. It is very obviously not. So, Nintendo will either have to change, or will crash. (4)

@JuanGrande386 @loftipixels @pcgamer It's almost like you can read my Bio. Good job. I have no issues with any of that, i just don't want to be limited. If i want to play a horror game that features someone getting disemboweled, while screaming "****" you probably won't find that on Nintendo. Hope i made my point.
