@Herrrio @NintendoUK Companies like Nintendo causing preservation and accessibility issues are among the reasons this is a problem in the first place. It shouldn't be.

@CameronOnClosed @NintendoAmerica Mmm, you are right in Your statement, atough I think that smash didnt had that problem (even if the dlc have a prive) so I kinda wish strikers get the same treatment.

@NintendoAmerica Updates: You suck and are a garbage company!! Why do you put out that atrocious switch online service and remove the virtual console done properly from the Wii U. Switch online is actual garbage and you better put virtual console on there soon. Also tomodachi life on switch, NOW!

@NintendoAmerica then it should be possible to make the online membership at least $6 a year and not a big issue for the internet

@PoorlyAgedStuff Didn't Nintendo issue a bunch DMCA takedowns of videos where people were running Mario Odyssey, BoTW, and more on the Steam Deck with better overall performance and visuals? That whole thing felt like Nintendo was being anti-competition.

@LonelyGoomba My main problem with nintendo is how I havent finished a single first party switch game i.e. mario fire emblem etc because I find their games so boring and just overly safe that I cant stand playing over 10 minutes without getting bored I beaten only no more heroes and smt

@LeafCam @stopmrdomino nothing wrong with dripfeed but it'd be nice if the titles didn't feel like they were straight up missing stuff day 1. MHRise felt like this when it launched last year. Not nintendo, but same problem. Free dlc should feel like a bonus, not the missing pieces.

@LonelyGoomba Question: When's the last time Nintendo released something that excited you? I ask because I'm not sure if Nintendo is the problem here.

@theOnlyAitor @DrewColley2 @NintendoAmerica There are still some problems thay should be fixed like the lack of modes or stage hazard, it's cool to hear us, yeah, but they're only covering one part of the whole issue.

@RCaseDrawsStuff in general it's just disappointing to see nintendo rely more and more on updates to "finish" their games. i lost internet for a very, very long time. they used to have the only games i could safely buy without needing patches to fix or finish games. but now they're not reliable.

@SkyStarrying @Reecee_yt @NintendoAmerica But then isn‘t it a problem if the solution to this is one that Nintendo absolutely despises?

Like I’ve said before, this would all actually be fine if Nintendo had a Game Pass-like service where I can play it for a couple days, forget about it, and then pick it back up once updates come out. It just sucks paying 90 bucks for a game that only becomes full later on.

@Nibellion Yeah I knew it was going to be only the two character's but I doesn't fix the main issue with the game itself. It still lacks a lot of things and if Nintendo is only going with the characters and nothing else...well...the game won't last very long.

@Saz_2604 @Gweemaran @NintendoAmerica Tbh they haven´t been making a lot of Mario games lately, aside from Sports games which are not good from default. Spin Off quality issues has been a trend that was present from the Wii U onwards which may indicate that this was a problem even before Switch era.

Nintendo, the company who for years copyright struck people streaming and doing letsplays of their games? Who sends C&Ds to many passionate fan projects taking on difficult problems that Gamefreak wont? Who routinely puts in code to mess with people running custom firmware??

@terminaljah @RoseSilicon Joe's comment was that Nintendo isn't the first to do it and they aren't the last one to do it. Mentioning PS3 and Vita as examples of consoles that didn't had their service shut down while Sony was considering in shutting them down only kinda reinforces his point tbh.

One issue i see Nintendo have to fix. And it's Google! Why an entire console hove no browser in it? Imagine how many browser games would be more fun to play with two controllers on the sides! Missing an opportunity here that even a steam deck missed it! Fix it dont curse it!!!!!!

@youstinkmike @SerebiiNet Isn't there rumors about GBA games coming to the Switch online service? Couldn't Nintendo just move the Pokémon titles there and offer a similar transfer tool to work for Pokémon HOME?

(@drc_gamin) reported
@LonelyGoomba I think nintendo really just needs to anounce the next mainline mario game at this point. IDK but there really isn't much variety in the games aside from multiplatform titles and third parties. This apathetic feeling i would say comes from a problem all of gaming is facing rn.

@NinjaChefTK We are but the issue is Nintendo has no competition in their field. Sony has something to lose if they make people angry which is them going to Pc or Xbox. Nintendo though. They are running uncontested in their market right now

@stopmrdomino Normally i'd say "just wait til all the content is out" for this kind of stuff but the problem is that if you do, the only people you get paired against online are the diehards and it's no fun. Nintendo really needs to work on making the launch state of these games feel fuller.
