@fakiok @jayworks13 @its_menieb What? I own a Switch, I like Nintendo games, but the hardware and software and online support is lack luster to say the least. The entire service Nintendo provides is anti consumer as ever. It isn't about liking a game less or more, it's about user experience

@Kejny_ Hardware wise yes but software wise no. Also had a piracy problem bigger than nintendo's handhelds at the time

also apparently the thing that causes it is a pressure issue (there's technically two issues but they're both caused by the same thing) and could be fixed easily btw so like nintendo really just extra lazy

@thatracerdude @BichoAlvaro @ModernVintageG Most buyers don't care about it. I agree it's an issue but Nintendo had their best year last year with the switch... Obviously it isnt hurting sales. Enthusiasts are such a small minority that we don't have any real pull.

It would be great if #Nintendo would make its own official PC emulator for their old consoles, and official downloads for their older games. Then we wouldn't have these problems with illegal ROMs as only option for game preservation, and Nintendo could earn money...

@Enemyorange @TheTurmoilBaron @getrektangles I like the idea that if they include crash, part of the trailer could be the crash suit guy yelling at the Nintendo building again

@Acejinjo Xbox and Microsoft have been better about things in recent years. Nintendo is in the process of a crash landing

@NaraCya @NintendoAmerica well they’re clearly not angels or demons, it’d be kinda boring to fight the same enemies all over again. i dont have a problem with their designs. they look like monsters that need bullets in them

@ayviebee frfr like this joycon **** is horrible and it would literally be such an easy fix for nintendo but they want money so so bad like bro just fix the ****

@ShinyZeni @NintendoAmerica Idk why people think their speed runs with glitches involved count as actual game completion. Bro, you used a glitch to beat the game, you didn't beat it properly so your run doesn't count.

@ayviebee The joycons drift due to how theyre designed internally, so any controller who has the regular kind of design will not drift. If nintendo could fix the drift issue or at least offer joycons for a lower price (just remove the fancy vibration thing) i would be less mad.

@JuiceMan_V I’m guessing Nintendo will step it up with the next gen Switch. The online isn’t that much different then other consoles. If they do a Netflix service that’s fine by me. I feel like what people are getting at this price point is good. If they want the GameCube, Wii and Wii U

@basedjawnsunn I have both Psikyo Shooting Stars collections on Nintendo Switch and I personally haven't experienced any noticeable latency. If there is, its probably the roughly 2-4 frames of lag inherent to emulation at worst.

@forestminish Digital and I back them up to my PC in case of service shutdown. Will outlive any physical media eventually. Especially since all flash memory has a limited shelf life, and Nintendo Switch cartridges are indeed flash memory.

@MushPIush Nintendo does own Retro, it's just that Retro has terrible managment issues and many key people left for other studios (like Bluepoint for example) so that's why Retro hasn't released a new game in so long.

@FaultyVideos @Wilfred5172 @T3TRIM0 Funny because a major issue people cited with botw was that the framerate supposedly tanked and NOW botw is a "But nintendo did it before" example?

@Chris_Winlock I have never been a big gamer person until my wife downloaded Apex on our Nintendo Switch. But, they will not fix the field of view option on the switch and stuck on 70 percent. So I use my laptop.

Nintendo Switch's Joycon doesn't have a drift problem. They just took the raw material from a place where they shouldn't have. That's why factory repaired ones drift too. What was sealed in one cursed place is now in the hands of 90 million people. #spooky #WritingCommunity

Just out of curiosity, I plugged in 12 of my Switch games that I haven't gotten around to playing, and only 4/12 didn't need big patches. One was a Nintendo game, 2 were Limited Run, and one was just an indie retail game. So, are 70% of games released at retail these days broken?

@JajingaHFTF @hate_many The New Funkopop just released. The figure itself is really fun and i feel my testosterone levels dropping, there's room for it to drop further, but my wife is leaving, the Nintendo products and lack of exercise take away all her motivation to stay. i hope the switch will fix it.

I'm still hoping Nintendo will do some remakes like Spyro and Crash, but I'm glad we still have access to OG games on the switch

@TheEvieGracex Best of all, Nintendo seems fine with it - aside from the fact they left a generous amount of free space for extra ROMs, they also left a message in the system files that you can only see if you hack it: "Enjoy this Mini, Disconnect from the present, and Go back to the nineties."
