Even Nintendo hasn't been able to have a good track record. Pokemon Go was good, but lasted only a month before the hype died. Mario run is good, but most of it is behind a paywall. And lots of people had an issue with Animal Crossing: Pocket Camp. Same for Mario Kart Tour.

@kazuya_zoey It's not unplayable, just awful. Rex isn't the sole reason, his awful design is just the most immediate, easy to point out problem. And he's not the only character who looks dumb as ****. How a game with Nintendo money got character art that bad is beyond me.

Not that Nintendo doesn’t have their own problems, but after thirty years I’m all-in with the big N. They’d pretty much have to murder my wife to convince me not to buy the new Zelda at this point. I’ve thought about getting a PS4 many times but it always feels like a money pit.

@HowZashar And BHVR actively works to correct their failures. Nintendo doesn't look to "correct" anything. It is just how they think. So I think BHVR is just better in this example. Nintendo is failing to the community, but not to them, BHVR is failing to the community AND THEM, and fix it.

@TheEmpBruh The game ET for the Atari 2600. It singlehandedly caused the “video game crash” a.k.a. Atari Shock of 1983, before Nintendo saved the industry.

@The_Gibus_Man trademark, but they could continue selling them without it. The creator tried to sell it as Etikons and Nintendo didn't have any problem with that, but Etika's family were who didn't like that. I was kinda mad watching so many news and tweets saying that was Nintendo too.

Thanks @NintendoUK for the awful customer service. Item was due to be dispatched on 9 December and still no idea when this will happen. Not sure this will arrive in time for Christmas - very disappointing

@ChocoMilkFPS @phatom_danny @IntroSpecktive See this is your logic gap, I don’t just buy any **** with nintendo on it. I support very specific development endeavours I believe are worth supporting while vocally speaking against the execs and law teams that are causing problems. Its two separate entities.

@garf02 Plus... it’s a game company. Why is this an issue in the first place? If Nintendo plans to make a collegial esports league of their own people will migrate naturally once it is made. But it’s clear, just like with the twitch league, that it isn’t happening

Dear @animalcrossing @Nintendo Fix the rate in which DIY Balloons spawn. In fact, fix all the spawns for DIY's. Spending hours popping balloons, clearing my island for snowballs and time traveling back and forth for more time isn't a fun video game experience. This is a chore.

Cyberpunk 2077 is a brand new video game, and there is a lot of complaints about that game either lagging, glitching, or crashing. It’s literally a Painful Launch. Just like the PS5, Xbox Series X, and the Nintendo Switch. This is unfortunate. #Cyberpunk2077

@TeamKnowhowUK The Nintendo Switch i bought my son FOR CHRISTMAS last year is broken. Because I bought it in November and not on Christmas Eve, the warranty has run out and no one cares. I could send you a photo of him opening it on CHRISTMAS DAY. This leaves a bad taste.

I hate Nintendo online dude. Fought my cousins laggy Hero and I had less fun than fighting Zerg’s Young Link. I don’t think I can keep playing people without a lan adapter anymore. WiFi is already bad enough. I don’t even want to play it on with because Nintendo’s online service

@Zeldamaster9001 hell even Sephiroth is based on his PS4 exclusive title look. Nintendo has shown they have no problem adding characters that are exclusive to other consoles..

@AmazonHelp But they sent the Nintendo switch someone at Amazon STOLE it - why is that their problem? That's outrageous they won't refund it because they sent it I am £300 out of pocket due to dishonest Amazon Staff

@da_mandude @GameSpot One of my issue with the Nintendo consoles, you never tempted to try some games because they are at 10 bucks or simply because one or two games can take your whole budget.
