    @GabrielKirk1987 @thicc_stick_boi 1080p 60FPS has been the standard for a playable experience! For decades.. That's not expected, That's required! "Nintendo has never been about power" You obviously never seen thier ads in the 90's have you!? You're really upset that i called out the switch That's a you problem

  • AardvarkSagus Dave Wise (@AardvarkSagus) reported

    Trying to take apart my Xbone controller to fix drift that’s worthy of a Nintendo JoyCon, and I’m discovering that my tools are in as much disarray as the rest of my life, partly because my kids like using them.

  • vita_quest Simon Stevens (@vita_quest) reported

    @DJK1NG_Gaming @Davitz11 Your taking it too personally, I'd like to see a ton of Nintendo games on other consoles in an ideal world because Nintendo consoles are dated and lagging behind the curve on release, it'll never happen and that's fine but saying you wish you could play them on ps5 is also fine.

    @ManiacXVII Error Code: 2-ARVHA-0000 is #youtube saying the date and time is set incorrectly on your Nintendo #Switch have you been time travaling in #AnimalCrossing ?

  • SuperHooktailJr Emberdramon (@SuperHooktailJr) reported

    @AidenRS139 I would rather buy these games at the eshop then spend hundreds of dollars monthly just to play these games. I don't support this direction Nintendo is going and I don't support Nintendo for making rushed games and fix it later with there practices.

  • smugwave flash (@smugwave) reported

    @shadowbIood @gaythugmemes yeah no i never have problems with my ipad or iphone, even the nintendo switch is fine

  • Hatsuma2 Hatsuma (@Hatsuma2) reported

    @B37Brian @Puertorock77_ Ponies don't like competition? What does that even mean? Especially now? MS is hiding all their numbers. What competition? Don't cap PS Plus? What am I capping? Sub count? Why should I care how the service is doing lmao. Is Nintendo not competition?

  • MikeDiver mike d (@MikeDiver) reported

    Choice Shigeru Miyamoto quote from Edge, June 1995: "The claim that Sony would be able to sell as much hardware as Nintendo sounds uncertain. The main problem for Sony... (is) believing that they can reach the 10 million mark." Old interviews are fun.

  • aouad_paul Bondforged Polo (#VioRhyseAlberia) (@aouad_paul) reported

    @PownicMania5000 Same reason why Dragalia is getting the plug despite Mario Run being the least successful Nintendo mobile yet that's still in service. You know how baffling this gets when they haven't done a major update since Remix 10.

  • VineyT George Dane (@VineyT) reported

    @bbkmotolove @FamiluSlow @sondesix Not a phone company, but Nintendo never copied anyone. The problem is that China has really lax or non-existent copyright laws, so companies like Huawei and numerous others just immediately copy their competitors with no repercussions. They aren't the only ones doing it.

  • Jorra21 Jordan (@Jorra21) reported

    @NintendoEurope Still mad that 150 cc is slow as hell in this game. Fix it nintendo 👎👎👎👎

  • KingSpartaX37 Delta Brony | Talim Main | Model Porter (@KingSpartaX37) reported

    @NintendoUK Don't tell me that it's an OVAL track just like in Crash Team Racing Nitro Fueled

  • Glacies_Frost Glacies Frost (@Glacies_Frost) reported

    @ConnorHedgehog The games people actually WANT to play would have run maybe two years' worth of nintendo online, at most. The difference is KEEPING them, not renting them as part of a subscription service. It's not cheaper if you're not buying it.

  • Ignorantdata48 eggman2014 (@Ignorantdata48) reported

    @Cowboy24Beast @cheaperthannso Difference between xbox and nintendo is xbox has a fully functioning online service built in and not jammed in with a 3rd party mobile app that barely works like nintendo

  • BurgSkeletal BurgSkeletal ❤💜💙 🏳️‍🌈 🇺🇦 🇹🇼 (@BurgSkeletal) reported

    There's a rumor that @Nintendo is releasing a Switch Lite with 4G and 5G cellular network support so you can stream games outside. That's a great idea, but the issue is that I'd rather buy a system like that from @Xbox due to Game Pass. I'll never pay to stream individual games.

  • DragoFae28 DragoFae (@DragoFae28) reported

    @crazycrossmedi4 Sucks they were removed all bc of human error, if theyd sent Nintendo the correct nintnedo only build with the characters they couldve stayed and it would've been really interesting. Makes you wonder what alt cosutmes they would've had also and the passives for them.

  • TheDreadfiend Ben ******' Holt (@TheDreadfiend) reported

    @NintendoUK Please fix the grass.

  • RukaDragon Ruka (@RukaDragon) reported

    @ManiacXVII You say this like it's a nintendo problem. It isn't. It's a youtube not taking the time to fix their app problem

  • Icewallowcumin Tellmewhy (@Icewallowcumin) reported

    @LBomgos @TGriskirk It's Xbox's problem to go and sign these deals like Sony and Nintendo clearly have

  • ANTSAM_14 ANTSAM ☀️ (@ANTSAM_14) reported

    @GrandPastorJ Mostly, I always wanted to try a couple of Multiversus content, but the problem is I have a Mac, and it’s not on the switch either, I don’t have any other consoles unfortunately, I sometimes make Mario Kart content also. So I mostly make Nintendo content tbf

  • trsrpc TM06 💿 (@trsrpc) reported

    @serperior83 That's not a Nintendo issue tho, that's The Pokemon Company waiting years to fund GameFreak money, especially when GF believed the Switch would be a failure and didn't use their dev kits until early 2017 despite having them since 2015.

  • fabs10138273 Ps5, Series X, Pc (@fabs10138273) reported

    @Cjbrizzy @trsrpc Hardware isnt the only Problem. Nintendo has a budget Problem with their games. I would call most of Nintendo games AA at best and some of them have worse production values as indys which is insane.

  • ButtChungus420 ButtChungus420 (@ButtChungus420) reported

    @RGT_85 Watch them reveal it in a Direct in September and also reveal Superman 64 for the online service. Sounds like something Nintendo would do.

  • muddasar53 Alphagear (@muddasar53) reported

    @Xx_Boone_xX @jukins5 @Falco_X See that's not the problem. Sony revenue each year is almost double Nintendo revenue. Even though Nintendo supposedly sells more first party games.

  • DaReelSebas Sebastian 🇨🇱🇺🇸 (@DaReelSebas) reported

    @marketingcerny @Falco_X They’re just trying to turn gaming into their own subscription service, just like they tried with Office and Windows. MS is not the good guy everyone thinks they are. They’re trying to be the Amazon of gaming. Sony and Nintendo aren’t good guys either, but MS is worse.

  • PwnySlaystation Modus Pwnens - Punished Rogers Customer (@PwnySlaystation) reported

    Not only is the Nintendo Pro controller WAY better than joycons (feels like playing a real console!) but I also don't have that random disconnect problem I have with the joycons. Bonus

  • CultClassicCage (Cassie Cage) Cult Classic Cage Show (@CultClassicCage) reported

    @Puertorock77_ Welp repackaging games for next gen, selling them for a higher price. Pointing at these director's cuts. Nintendo did the same thing with Donkey Kong's Tropical Freeze. PS Plus premium is a lot like Nintendo's upgraded subscription service which I took a stand against both. +

  • stackf3O Stack 👑 (@stackf3O) reported

    @JohnRDavies4 @NextGenPlayer Because they run significantly better, and you can also play all pre-Switch Nintendo games without buying into their ****** subscription service? Not to mention virtually the entire Steam catalogue being there. There’s absolutely no reason to prefer the Switch

  • ShakyShako Shaky (@ShakyShako) reported

    @lifestream223 Ohh 😮 Is it coming to the Nintendo online service?

  • Fibless1 Fibless (@Fibless1) reported

    @JacobDJAtkinson Having Nintendo problems with Sony products, that's tough
