@ghostcarnist @Simply_sunky Calling a game unfinished because “no daisy” is not valid criticism. Nintendo is not obligated to add every single Mario character, they have actual issues to fix like their employee treatment, pricing of switch online, and actually finishing their games like Switch Sports.

@vicious696 The fact that Nintendo, of all companies, handles this issue better than Xbox is really something.

@JayD51 @Zaknefian @Mr_Bluepoint Quality gaming or not, they don't care. Sony and Nintendo do not handle their gaming business in the same way, for them it's offering gaming as an experience or quality of life, not just subs service or content like MS

@HatokTalk Apparently the only issue with the game is that it will only run if your Switch has connected to the internet at least once, which will be an issue when Nintendo shuts down their Switch servers in 3 years. How tf does something like that even happen?

@Crimson_Mayhem_ I mean it usually pans out for Nintendo productions but we've had plenty of examples of this mantra not working out

@ItsNeon2401 Don't get me wrong, Nintendo has made truly unfinished/rushed games before. Namely Mario Sunshine but these games he's talking about adopt a "games as a service" model. The content is made to keep your interest after the initial launch of the game.

@SchellerTrevyn No platform is perfect, but this particular issue simply doesn't happen on PlayStation or Nintendo.

@ViperPoison23 I wish I could, but it'll be a bit! I just have to contact Nintendo, it's a known issue for this model.

@PlayerEssence @ActionJaxonH Only system I still buy physical for is the Switch because 1. Nintendo's games keep their value over time, and... 2. Nintendo are lagging so far behind in the online space that I don't trust them with forward compatibility at all.

@ItsNeon2401 Nintendo's games are still unfinished, just in a different way. We shouldn't accept lack of content just because the games aren't broken or glitchy.

@DrubkUnciorn Nahhh, should be able to have Nintendo do the fix. It's a first gen, so it's a known issue.

@TAHK0 Yeaaah but it's not really a live service. And you've already paid for the game and content, so it's not really a benefit to Nintendo if you play the new content or not. Most live service games want people to keep playing cos they have a financial incentive to do so.

@Karmaquarius @THEREALRTU very true, Sony do have their fair share of DRM issues, and nintendo too in some instances, but again from my experience with last gen, I’ve had more enjoyment out of the ps4 due to it not being as DRM heavy as the xbox one

@AidenRS139 The only thing I would like to happen is that the current NSO service also works on the next gen Nintendo consoles. That way we would not have to lose all the progress on making this games available to public once again.

@raybpanda @MilesDompier The problem is that it's a manual setting. It should be automatic. Both Sony and even Nintendo have their systems set up so that the first system you sign into becomes the primary console and from there ypu can play games offline. Microsoft has no reason to have it this way.

@elimeretv Ha, I wish >.< But this is the issue Nintendo knows about for the 1st gen switch. So, just have to contact them for a new battery or whatever. 🥲

@PhantomChampi0n @getonthestiix both switch and nintendo rely on drm to autheticae ur game the difference is that at least with playstation the cmos issues is no longer a problem to autheticate a game both in physical and digital media as far as ppl know switch doesn't have intrusive drm but both sony and

I see this same I see this same topic come up about "unfinished" nintendo games, even if you don't like that term for it, y'all know EXACTLY wtf they mean when they say that. They don't like the new "free DLC" practice, "Free DLC" itself isn't the issue it's how they do it that
