@S7NGaming @GoogleStadia We got 3 review codes and actually had trouble finding staff members to redeem them because those that even had a Nintendo Switch had already tried the demo and basically went "Nah".

@Polar_PT @NintendoAmerica They got US courts to say it doesn't exist, so good luck overturning that. Newer joycons fix it too, starting with the Zelda joycons.

@StarFro70145110 I loved Ristar, I would love to play it again but I'm not paying for Nintendo's higher tier online service to do it

@DrFeelGood_DFG @ShadowFoxArche I want to see the actual numbers of people who wanted a subscription virtual console service. A poll online or numbers from Nintendo themselves not YouTubes online during a time when maybe half of Wii U owners were actually playing their system

@RedrebirthXV @NintyPrime How is first party an issue on a nintendo console? Im very sure there are more first party exclusives on switch than Xbox one and Ps4 combined

@alpha_squid @FalKoopa_ Not sure how the F this man actually considering Nintendo sueing him for 10m USD for damage and he accept it without any problem. In some case, without jail time there will be 0 fear for them to continue doing illegal things.

But saying sony is better cause nintendo does things thing is the same **** you complain about but the now giving sony more credit than they deserve. Go look up a the **** sony has been pulling and how much they censor these days. ALL companies including steam on PC have issues.

@SoyruAsuka16 @SpookyWebtrash @ChristinaTasty Sega's issue is that they did a terrible marketing job with the Dreamcast. When it fell off due to bad marketing, Sega closed up while Microsoft moved right in. The reason why it's better now is because Nintendo can't pull the **** they pulled in the 80's like they are now.

@NintyPrime The current console generation benchmark is Nintendo as it has been since gen 3. Gen 1 - early dedicated game consoles. Gen 2 - interchangeable game consoles pre crash. Gen 3 - original NES at peers.

@MenningOwen If you want to have these dlcs after Nintendo ends the service, your only option is to pay the $50 anyway. Hell, by that point you're probably so used to the dlcs it'd feel weird without them. You're not saving yourself any money.

@MenningOwen You're paying $50 A YEAR for two dlcs that you could have bought for $50 once. Besides, talk about lack of future proofing. Eventually Nintendo will stop allowing you to purchase Switch Online. Nothing on that service saves permanently to your console. You won't keep any of it.

@bixi0 @videogamedeals Yes please violate Nintendo’s terms of service under hardware that is still supported nothing can go wrong

For next Gen console I chose @Xbox SX. My 1st time getting an Xbox. After 8 months the ctrl has drift and the button "x" is not working properly. I play once or twice a week (not to much). I also have Nintendo and PlayStation consoles and is the 1st time a ctrl lasts so little

@pcgamer I would probably buy most of them on PC. It’s Nintendo’s hardware and profile-based DRM I have problems with.

@BAAAAAAKES Part of me wonders if Nintendo would go through all the trouble of renegotiating terms with Microsoft JUST to plop in on Switch Online. I mean, as a Killer App maybe it pushes a bunch of people to that service, but would they stand to gain more by an actual remake? Who knows.

@StinkyBlueRat I got many problems with Nintendo aswell, resulting into selling my switch and games and stop supporting Nintendo

@LoudThud @GreenDayzed @OrdinaryGamers The only problem with that is that all 3 of the major console gaming companies, Sony, Microsoft, and Nintendo, refuse to publish AO games.

@MilesMeelezz im still having trouble understanding what it means to "monopolize" something, and I'm currently under the impression that all companies are like that regardless? but what I do know, is that disney is far worse than nintendo by a long shot

@Dustfucks @NintendoAmerica Do new joycons actually fix it? That's good news
-
Dust (New Wardrobe Arc)
(@Dustfucks) reported
@Polar_PT @NintendoAmerica Yeah, what causes it is that it wears down the parts that hold the stick down and it ***** the calibration. New joycons make it a lot harder to lose that calibration. But the issue with controllers randomly desyncing happens quite a bit still

If you want to hear about Nintendo news, you can watch Nintendo Voice Chat, Game Scoop, or the Daily/Weekly Fix on which they mention the Switch regularly. Not every show has to mention Nintendo.

@TAHK0 @OnTheDownLoTho We’re in a good place right now, but if yearly releases isn’t the issue, the what is? GF has a smaller team than Hal Labs while releasing bigger games more frequently. No other Nintendo studio to my knowledge has to release core games this size this frequently

@JesterAdachi The issue here is that it look like Nintendo will never translate it. I also want to see a official release.

MEETROID DREAD HOLY SHEET
(@Cheesehead302) reported
@ulymaldo @DamianKotairo @Kotaku Surprising amount of people saying "lol nintendo games bad graficz" when the issue at hand here is that a Nintendo game (release like 8 years ago) is amazing visually and this new dlc for it is subpar. It's more nuanced than that, doesn't seem hard to understand.

2/3 not child coded. If this content is private/not shown to minors, then I do not see a problem with it. People are arguing that Thomas OC NSFW is bad because it is based on a kid's show. I don't see how this is relevant. No one seems to care about the abundance of Nintendo,
