    @NintendoUK Nah fix the bugs in scarlet and violet first.

    @TanukiShowman Nintendo has this issue with seemingly forcing a couple clearly bad ideas into even their best games haha

  • CCmmandrInChief
    Wynn Thornton (@CCmmandrInChief) reported

    @MetroidFREAK21 Is it using the Wii U filer? Wii U emulation was notorious for putting a dark filter over all games. Nintendo had their reasons for doing it (ie. it wasn’t just an error in emulation), but it was extremely unpopular.

    @SnokkW For full transparency Switch is having some slight stuttering issues, we just sent a patch but Nintendo needs to approve it. So it'll be out in a week PC works as intended :)

    @celainesasmr @playpokemon @NintendoAmerica You should go on that Reddit mega thread and try to help them pinpoint what the issue is. People are having a very difficult time figuring out what makes the glitch happen and you got it twice.

    @AHadjisav @DeekeTweak My biggest issue with the merger is it only keeps games to the MS ecosystem so it leaves nintendo and sony gamers without the games unless they allow gamepass into the system canibalizing the game sales. Example. 1/

    @GDX4X5 @yggdrasilsaltar That's fair, and in all honesty, Nintendo really doesn't have any obligation to preserve the older titles. Do I think they should? Absolutely. The subscription service will shut down and all those games will become unavailable when that happens.

  • SphericalCubes
    Leif (@SphericalCubes) reported

    @NotImportantUs1 @LuigiBlood My pipe dream is that Nintendo remasters and translates it too but I won't say I'm not salty this isn't on the service too.

    @tchebotarev Maybe like how we use to fix the old Nintendo cartridges? Same thing?

    @sidneyxmalibu Contact Nintendo switch support, they’ll fix it for you for free if it’s still under warranty, I used to do customer support for them lol, the warranty last 1 year.

    @lutyrannus the source of this specific quote points back to the interview Fujioka did in the Jul. 2015 issue of Nintendo Dream, but for obvious reasons its hard to find the exact page of it

  • nib95_
    NIB (@nib95_) reported

    @XTLProjects @PeterOvo5 GeForce Now is not a multi game subscription service, it's buy to play, in other words, you have to BUY the game before being able to stream it, hence totally diff cost considerations. And Nintendo isn't getting it on a sub service as far as we know, just a native version/port.

    @antbeezy21 @Oti09280470 Yeah but Xbox is giving you money to put on the service and they make their money from sales from Sony , Nintendo, pc and the subscription fee

    @AdamJailbreaks Fix my Nintendo then I'll DM

  • LumpyTheCook
    Lumpy (@LumpyTheCook) reported

    Or at least Steam and Xbox. Sony and Nintendo making it paid-service-only kinda sucks a lot.

    @NintendoAmerica my Nintendo-Switch joy-cons are coming out without me pressing the button to disconnect them. Is there anything I can do ?

  • Ed__Sharma
    MENTALITY MONSTERS (@Ed__Sharma) reported

    @just_thms @forcecaster @E3waitfor2020 But gaming companies do. PlayStation and Nintendo do that every year. Microsoft also spends a lot on Gamepass. They can't make all of that just from Gamepass subs most of whom don't even pay full price for the service and lackluster sales.

  • mmdman886

    @WalmartCAGaming Shame nintendo cant remake that game without issues with square enix owning a chunk of the copyright. Which is more like un-mario day. When we still cant play the mario and luigi series. Since nintendo has bastardized the paper mario series. So, thats not a good look 4 mario -.-

    Nintendo Costumes were removed due to Licensing Issues with Nintendo.

    @ParvumPrincipi You do realize that Nintendo got the exact same contract and signed with no issues, Microsoft aren't the bad guys in this situation Sony are just being stingy as usual

  • lilyfoxclaw
    LilyFoxclaw (@lilyfoxclaw) reported

    @AHadjisav @DeekeTweak Gamepass is a good idea but the issue is not having the game to be sold on opponent storefronts. If ms was smart they'd allow the multiplatforms ips they buy to be on ps and nintendo earning 70% per sale allowing more revenue to create newer exclusive ips to xbox.

  • Bharathesh_A
    Gecko_AB (@Bharathesh_A) reported

    @Oti09280470 That's coz Xbox just throws money at their problems and hopes it fixes itself. And it would have worked, if not for Nintendo and PS showing everyone what true success is in the gaming sector.

  • TrollyKulture
    HeAin’tWrong (@TrollyKulture) reported

    @JonnyBoy1984 @Oti09280470 Again! You need compelling software for the hardware. If you don’t, then people won’t come back. Why Nintendo and PlayStation don’t have these issues and they are predominantly known for their “Plastic boxes?”

    @MattMcMuscles Damn for such a classic, I didn’t think it have issues, i get it was more adult like game and just the way the game is, but then working with Nintendo obviously shadows the game for having so much exposure

  • Williamfaust311
    Neptune (@Williamfaust311) reported

    @ParvumPrincipi What are you talking about? How would it? They offered the same contract to everyone else and they didn’t have an issue with it. Even NINTENDO of all companies. And what revenge? That Sony bought Bungie for no reason? Yeah so bad.

  • Riverpottle

    Nintendo needs to fix the hitboxes for shooter weapons. The hitboxes Are to trash. I get a hit and it doesn't Play the hit sound.
