@YunalesckaGames Tbh idk what the Nintendo protests are about. The main beef I have with them is over joycon drift. They know it's a problem but won't do anything about it which is a bit BS because those controllers are expensive to replace regularly. It's why I got a used pro-controller instead.

Writer: my main Problem with Nintendo Switch is that a Majority of games are just ported to it..not really many that are exclusive and most games I will already have on PS4 or Xbox...it sucks honestly

@nintendolife Honestly, the biggest issue about this is how it looks. Like Nintendo's motive, with all the situations they're in like Smash and Joy-Con Drift, this doesn't look too good. Unless on April 1st Nintendo reveals it was all a prank. Not gonna happen but it would be pretty funny

@HausofPayton Nintendo is the problem not the devs of Among Us so far, because they are censoring in many many games everything and of course some games are out of that because there are at 12 or 16 or 18 I guees...

@GrapeAxel I doubt any KH character would become a Mii costume, tho KH is develop by SE, the franchise is own by Disney, so why would Nintendo/Sakurai go through with the licensing problems with Disney just for a mere Mii costumes.

@trepeserafin @SavedYouAClickV it is absolutely a ******* valid argument. nintendo has been annoying lately but this is not an example. if you don't want to pay for the game or the online service then just shut ******** up and don't.

@SouthpxwArtist @SavedYouAClickV we are crying about it being a bad service, a service worst than every other Nintendo console which had free online

@Justin_855 Oh, my problem with fall guys is that it handles itself in a really cringeworthy way that reminds me of when Nintendo made Wii U commercials

@nintendolife I thinknthis is better than hyping out fans and such because look what happens to the cyberpunk 2077 hype, delays and broken released. Nintendo's Ip rarely have bugs nor something in the way of gameplay.

@EathanRivera Honestly smash IMO is passable, not great but ok. Mario maker 2 is a real demonstration of the issue of Nintendo online

@hayzplayz @Veselekov Switch is a broken piece of **** but people forgive them cause the games are good. Nah **** that, fix the joycons, Nintendo doesn't get a pass.

@dingodile55 @DannerM5 @Sora_Sakurai Nintendo removes soundtracks (which includes Smash Ultimate.) They could easily just sell they’re games’ soundtracks if that was the issue, but nope! Just strike everyone down who uploads them. And taking down free fan games that don’t harm the ip is really shitty.

@John_Sia @paramoreftw the problem is that Nintendo is too greedy. there are no reasons for their price, after three years.

Don't do the "Floda!" The "Floda" is an imposter tactic on Among Us for the Nintendo Switch where you kill someone, hide in a vent, and you can't vote because of the glitch and you have to admit you are imposter 🙃 Lolololol

Ultimate's online without talking about the lag. That's how bad the Online components in this game are. The only thing that doesn't lag is worthless. Nintendo has been anti-consumer this generation, but no one talks about how anti content they've been as well. That...

@Oni_Queen @jasonschreier If I buy a broken product from a store or Amazon as an example I simply return it no questions asked. Sony , Nintendo and Microsoft hell no you are not taking back that 30% profit margin.

@NebulaHurricane Literally give up one Starbucks latte, boom. On top of the Nintendo online account you were ALREADY PAYING FOR, problem solved. Christ, you might even be lucky to find that in loose change on the street over the course of a week. This is such a non issue XD

@SavedYouAClickV Now we can blame all of it on a single person when it doesn’t get fixed. Thank you for personifying the issue you created, Nintendo!

@SirVampire7777 Astral Chain belongs to Nintendo (co-owns to be accurate) so it's doable, no problem. On a personal level I don't expect it, if they wanted to they'd have doen it last year when it was making sense.

@Jav_Cortes @RipTideGamer20 He actually didn't imply their games were perfect. He said "half baked" and even listed a game with framerate issues. Cyberpunk is half baked, litered with bugs, glitches, and issues... Crashes multiple times, clipping etc. Nintendo games don't launch in that state.

@TacomaTransit Speaking of this! I was having an issue with my Switch’s joystick today and I totally blew on it like it was an ‘80s Nintendo and I swear to you it worked.
