@spookieqt I know you are excited, but please don't be one of the people that encourages Nintendo to charge extraordinary amounts for a re-release. Remember, them shutting down the eshop for 3DS and Wii U is a problem they created for us, and they'll remedy it by making us pay more money.

I swear, i hate it when nintendo just makes me randomly disconnect from a game then hits me with a 5 min time out to not play anything. Like imagine spending 20$ for 12 months online then you get this every time you trying to have fun. #Splatoon2

@MattMarzX @AEGRO_84 The fact you can see issues with a product means nothing when 99% of the population is willing to let it slide, and Nintendo spends like 50% of the dev budget.

@Regulus_Tera I’m not sure I’d go as far as to say it’s creatively driven, especially considering that other recent Nintendo games have similar input delay problems. With that said, the input delay of monitors has also been a hot topic in the FGC lately.

@NabbitFan730 @MercyKnifed Steam isn't the only PC game platform There's Epic, EA, Xbox, GOG, there's even the ******* Mac App Store if they felt like being insane. You're also forgetting the fact that Nintendo could just release them standalone or on their own distribution service.

@kingalwayswinss @strangerseries_ @Nanxss The image was a change made on the Nintendo e-shop that was changed back to the original version almost immediately. The leak with the two characters dying was for the final issue if zero war. We still don't know who one of the two is so my theory is that the other is Jones.

@kyofunoyume @PimpMasterYoda1 Seems like they have the opposite problem of Nintendo. Nintendo having to many IPs and not enough studios to work on them.

@ExpansionLord I like Nintendo own all their crap but will call them out for their bad business practices. The problem I have is many people blindly fanboy Nintendo and defend the bad. The fans get mad at people calling out the bad things. That’s my problem.

@KaboomKrusader @ZeldaUniverse Nintendo doesn't really fix the Joy-Cons you send in. They just take them apart and clean them and send them back. Because the drift is a manufacturing defect this naturally does not solve the problem

@Genki_JPN The Xbox is really keeping momentum. Of course it won't become a problem for Sony and Nintendo, but if they keep this up, the Xbox will at least be visible/present/active in the market.

@ExpandDong15 I dunno, it's no competition to be sure but if Nintendo is considered that bad with their decisions then God forbid what'll happen if people start looking at other companies with their ****. If there was more consistency with criticism of the big 3 I wouldn't have a problem.

@antdude92 A broken clock is right twice a day, eventually Nintendo will port the HD Zelda games over just to shut these people up.

@asmexus Even beyond FE (which had problems like everything about Plegia), have there been many fully realized middle eastern coded characters that avoid devolving into orientalism? At Nintendo, the other most significant middle eastern coded character is dubbed the King of Evil.

like the only one i genuinely don't see happening if nintendo went for pc would probably be smash because rights issues would probably happen

@TheHipAlbatross @Wario64 @PlayStation Absurd. I hate when these publishers try to use their own site. It’s always a **** show. Had the same issue on the Nintendo shop as well. Just use Amazon…good lord

@JustinMarrero10 @LubbaSMG2 It's illegal in Japan, I think, but stateside it's fine. Nintendo can issue an update to lock you out, but if you update the cfw you'll be fine. I have yet to brick a Nintendo system through cfw. Banning is a danger, but it's only a big problem on switch.

@MatttGFX @Somari_64 To my knowledge, the game's issue is not its input delay, but its input queueing. The game only has bad input delay online, and that itself is because of Nintendo's crappy peer-to-peer netcode, not something Smash Ultimate does. Offline, inputs are as instant as you'd expect.

@itsa_me_gameboy But you have options as a TLOU customer on PS5. On Switch your only potential option to play those Zelda games will be full price ports. You’re excusing Nintendo for solving an artificial problem that they created for their own users.

@axlanian @JeffMan1490 @NintendoAmerica The problem is only ONE NES controller will work as you have to remap the controls and you can only do that for player one, unless you found a way around that :(

He certainly is talking about enhancing only your home setup to decrease lag even though he is one of the leading dev's at nintendo (A company that makes games) and doesn't have any reason to not also talk about game side lag. no I'm not malding you are

(@Traced_Morpheus) reported
in a couple years i think we'll be seeing a major backlash at nintendo. the reason i'm saying this is because of the switch eshop. eventually, nintendo will stop caring for the switch and its download only games, and they would likely end up discontinuing the eshop service.

@jayskoov @DougBFresh_ @DestinLegarie Playstation WOULD NEVER or nintendo let their flagship ip be embrassed like this publicly. The way halo has been mismanaged from Phil to 343 is worrying for the future of xbox live service games
