@RotoPenguin Not disagreeing but current gen (ie PS4 -> PS5)has better back compat because of the similar hardware in the trunk. Before this the only reason you have back compat is when the console has the hardware of the previous gen in it. So.. not really a Nintendo only issue.

@NintendoAmerica Give me one week as CEO I'll fix your company, appease investors and make your fans like you again. There are literally 3 easy steps to it. Introduce rolled back net code, port games to the new eshop and expand the library, and stop your insane "IP protection."

the issues isn’t the low graphics themselves. it’s that the games are pushed out fast so that Nintendo can basically print money and the poor graphics are a symptom of thst disease.

@femdas I don't know much but nintendo said they was gonna do something with this service sometime this year and I'm assuming that time is now(I believe the servers aren't shutting down so don't worry about that)

@Kobayashi_IRL I don't have a problem with Nintendo Switch is underpowered. It gets annoying when people act like "graphics doesn't matter" and then backpedal when the games looks passable/a Switch port is from a demanding game from 2014-15 lol. Nintendo fanboys are worse than Sony fanboys.

@IGN Doesnt this dude put himself back together again though? So really the Nintendo Generation has been the basic principle of boot camp already. The weak are broken down and rebuilt.

@BlandrewYT Nintendo Switch is a secondary console/portable tho. The framerates issues & 30fps half of time. Nintendo Switch Online is terrible to be honest. If people want to do Nintendo Systems only. Then Nintendo need to make better online experience & make Switch Pro.

@PaulTassi Really wish Nintendo, Sony, and Microsoft fix the drifting issues. My original joy cons drifted, a cousin's PS5 controller drifted, and a friend's Xbox Series X controller drifted.

@hxrsefly Actually if you mail them in to Nintendo, I believe they fix the drift for free.

Yeah, I Guess So

I cant wait for when it gets leaked that nintendo has been making profits in secret as a whole *** cartel service, and then they reveal that Nintendo games are being sent over to Steam to give people a way to play their games on a non emulation service

@BlurpleBean96 My guess is they were waiting to post until they were revealed in order to avoid any issues with Game Freak/Nintendo. This way they can claim they worked fast when really nobody makes plushes -that- fast.

@vDeadbolt @RoseSilicon @Pokemon The eShop thing happened a week AFTER the last Nintendo Direct. And how can Pokémon Day, TWO WEEKS after the eShop controversy, be damage control for the same problem? Besides, people stopped caring about the eShop after a week. What damage is there to control?

@TFG1Mike It’s less an argument and more an explanation. Also, no, not quite. The “everything is coke/Nintendo/iPad” analogy isn’t really comparable here. There isn’t one dominant streaming service any more. Years ago you could have said it was Netflix but not any more. This is different.

@xMBGx They will skip ps5 pro. Pretty sure. Chip problems still continue. Nintendo even skip the Pro model Switch console.

@MegaCrit Hi! The update seems to have broken support for my controller (Nintendo Pro Controller). Is there a way to get it working again or can I go back to V2.2? Is there some other support venue?

@hellomredwards @BlandrewYT When no man's sky first launched,everyone blamed the devs. But when gta comes out on the switch horrible(even though they updated it to fix it all)everyone blamed nintendo's system for it. It's time we all stop playing the hypocrite and put the blame where it belongs, on the devs

UNDERTALE / DELTARUNE
(@UnderTale) reported
DELTARUNE Chapter 1&2 was updated to 1.10 (PC/Mac) and 1.06 (PS4 & Nintendo Switch). This only fixes an issue where loading an old save or getting a game over would sometimes not work on versions 1.08 and 1.09. Sorry for any trouble this might have caused.

@NexhiAlibias @Rooflemonger They definitely do - look at Activision Blizzard or Nintendo or Riot lol. The problem I have isn't with people just saying "Bandai is rich" - it's with people not knowing the first thing about the costs involved and pretending they do.

(@KayinNasaki) reported
There are so many arguments about stuff even beyond nintendo where people nitpick over the exact reason for something, assuming the base behavior is a normal, acceptable thing when the base behavior is absolutely the problem.

@MadArtRaven Ye, that is definitely the case now that u mention it, botw had issues but Nintendo just made it overclock the console, Pokemon's engine seems so abysmally bad rn, tho it also started like this on 3ds, so hopefully it improves over time

@RavagerOfNoobs @lordboop “Not moral” lol Nintendo can handle some fanartist making a few bucks off their property. They’re a giant mega corporation, not a independent artist who doesn’t even own enforceable copyrights on their characters. Calm down. This person won’t get in trouble. I promise.

@VARaphael I think the problem there is that people tend to compare the switch to other hardware such as the Playstation 4/5 or the Xbox Series S and then want Nintendo to have the same graphical quality as those consoles.
