State of Play thoughts. -Crash 4 support on PS5 is good -AAA Roguelike Returnal doesn't grab me. -Knockout King, the dodgeball game. Not Nintendo's sucky trailer; their show of the game actually interested me here. -Sifu... looks alright. Need to see more to sell me though.

@TheOwnerOfSock Nintendo Online is the one service I’ve truly debated paying for this year. It’s a nice price, but it just isn’t doing anything special for me. Smash online is awful, and the old games they offer certainly used to look promising, but they haven’t added anything I’m interested in.

@stephentotilo You can get a repair kit to fix yourself but Nintendo should fix it for you.

@ArtsHollow @tervonugget @NintendoAmerica The issue is that it currently doesn’t look like a $60 game, and Nintendo has been known for pricing things poorly, so this game either needs to live up to a $60 price tag or cost something like $40

@kimmotman @JonComms You would think with the small amount of ip's, they wouldn't have that much trouble making games but come on, they aren't even trying. I don't get how Nintendo can do it (mostly) with the amount of properties they have but not Sony?

@Metalfan26 Agreed but only because there’s literally nothing about the service that seems like it’s costing Nintendo that much money to provide

@NintendoAmerica my switch controllers are not working properly. They move on their own and the buttons are pressing on their own. Is there any way to fix them? This is really bad. I’ve never experienced such bad controllers like these before.

@stephentotilo I sent in my joy cons to nintendo for repair, and when I got them back the right joy con was immediately having problems again, out the box. It's now back in for repair a second time :////

I thought the Nintendo Direct had a problem with super long boring trailers, seems like Sony also wanted in on the trend

@eman64ONETWO @RedMakuzawa My problem with Nintendo is mostly hardware. My luck with their controllers this past generation is abysmal even when I treat them gently like a newborn kitten.

@NintenTalk Dude you truly believed we were only going to get posters? No way Nintendo would go through all that trouble and expense to just give us posters.

@nadiaoxford Xbox Live and even the once very jabroni Playstation Network have been doing online for years. How is Nintendo's online service still what it is? The whole friend codes thing, it's all so tiresome.

This issue isn't exclusive to Pokemon. I see this with Undertale, P5, Sonic, and Nintendo as a whole. More noise comes from people complaining about the fanbase than the fanbase in question, to where you just end up hearing nothing about how people feel about the actual product.

@PcElitist__ @NintendoAmerica Pfft. As IF. let's see you have a drifting controller on PC. Yeah. That's right. You don't get input lag either. Or have the game pause because the left controller popped loose. Wait what was my point again?... Aw shiiiii.....

@middaymoon__ i doubt even game freak is that stupid to exclude what was a plot-relevant thing. the rumours are that nintendo was mad enough about the gen 8 backlash to tell them to fix their ****

@LaidBackInSong I think a big part of it for me is I was a Nintendo kid, Crash Bandicoot was the enemy haha. Probably can't distance myself from that

@DirectFeedGames Weird and Nintendo is the complete opposite. For the pass decade I got the impression that Nintendo put a heavy focus in Japan compare to the West. Portable gaming, lack of understanding with western e-sports, poor online service in the west. And the IP interest.

@pkintheuniverse Never had a problem with new n64 controllers, only when used and abused. Have had issues on and off again with my switch controllers but I genuinely believe Nintendo just wants you to buy a new limited edition set every year. Pro controller has never been a problem.
