@GamerTokens @dehrenikx @NintendoAmerica Most first party games run fine on the switch and the ones that don’t aren’t properly optimized A switch pro wouldn’t fix that And if a more powerful switch, that’s capeable of running games that couldn’t on the base, would come they could make an actual successor at that point

@HopCaterpie For me, that would be thinking that having the whole house for myself is going to give me a smooth connection to Elite Smash but then Nintendo servers say "haha LAG go brrrr" Probably just my WiFi plan though

@RisingBlur @dehrenikx @NintendoAmerica A switch pro would 100% fix that. Slap a better processor on that and probably a better graphics card. Botw kooks forest runs abysmally. The mid generation power upgrades with the Xbox shows that its 100% possible without having it be a next gen upgrade

Seeing people mad at the Nintendo Switch OLED model is the dumbest thing ever. 1: the switch doesn't need an SoC/hardware upgrade. 2: did you really think a device that's BARELY bigger than an iPhone to run games at ******* 1080p and output to TV's at 4k when a PS5 has trouble?

@discord Nothing against the new Nintendo DS Lite or the broken Rubix cube but i'd rather have the Pope's hat or Fridge. Would you mind telling me where you found those?

@Octoberfleshed The og 3ds sucked *** and was small and would hurt people’s hands when they held it for a long time the 3ds XL was a massive *** upgrade. the Nintendo switch OLED doesn’t even do anything to fix **** that is wrong with the og Nintendo switch

@Corgi99sama Pretty sure it has more to do with weirdos sucking at Sonic, blames game instead of themselves, fabricates issues that either aren't there or exaggerated, & refuses to adapt. At this point I strongly doubt it's only nintendrones (not to be mistaken with nintendo enjoyers). Lol

@skadooshbooyah My god, Nintendo has always HUGE problems, whether it's the Nintendo Creators Program in the previous 3DS - WiiU era or the joycon drift today. It's useless making gorgeous game if you can't play them

What the heck 😳 just realised that when I had my crash-nap yesterday evening that I was lucid dreaming 😱 I was trying to figure out why I remember chewing a Nintendo DS stylus so vividly but when I went to grab it now the stylus hasn't been touched WIIIiLD

@CharAzn32802774 @eszzz @sleepy___head Data being used by a closed service =/= 'giving your data to Google' lol Besides, this is less a defence of Nintendo or Google and more me facepalming at people panicking and making ridiculous claims about stuff they don't understand.

@NintendoAmerica Please fix the app so that I don’t need an Internet connection. You know when my Nintendo Online sub expires, the app shouldn’t need to check for an active subscription every two days. The Switch is a semi portable platform and this DRM makes it less so.

@MzLadeeSuga It’s just as important. Take Ubisoft for example, do you think their execs are listening to their audience. Atleast Xbox is working on first party and PlayStation is making PS+ similar to Gamepass. Nintendo has good games but their service sucks, it’s important to have execs ears

@emiliHEYoh @NintendoAmerica Even ACNH has serious frame dips if you have too much furniture placed on your island. You can't place multiple vending machines at a time without having a huge lag whenever you are walking inbetween them.

@JustinLaurenXO @RetrogradeAndy Hahahaha this is my problem with Nintendo. Stop shutting down Rom sites if you're not giving us an option to play these relatively unplayable games

@Crimson_Mayhem_ The only problem is that the series is going to be more third than original Nintendo. The people little by little are hyped by 3rd party characters

Well..my 1 year Nintendo Switch Online subscription ended today, and what sucks is that the prices for it went up not long ago (in Mexico, not sure about other countries), I miss when the service was free

@DreamcastGuy Ignore em. Keep doing what you want to do. We NEED people to talk openly and honestly about these companies and their products. Like some of the stuff Nintendo is doing is not cool…and I love Nintendo. If fanboys can’t see the issues then that’s their problem.
