I wonder how the Nintendo switch 2 is going so far? What the first game might be for everyone or if there’s any launch problems that happened I debated getting it but I’d only play fortnite and smash bros on it. It’s kinda expensive just to play the same games I can already play

@Stealth40k That's ok. Credits should be reserved for the people who actually worked on the game. If he didn't work on the game, why would he be credited? And at some point, it's ok not to call him out on literally every Nintendo game. This is not an issue.

@ShitpostRock To be fair there are multiple games that Nintendo or not I'd not want to pay that much for. However, if the game provides me with months of daily content and entertainment (like long RPGs), I would not have a problem paying that much.

Has anyone had problems charging their new Joy-Cons from the new Nintendo Switch 2? I just downloaded the firmware update for the controllers. I will see if that helps

Gemuki Draws Near !
(@_Gemuki) reported
@ShawnSindulfo Well it's cool that Nintendo thought of a way for indies and such to put their game physically out there at a lower cartridge cost Problem is, every company's goal is to make money and reduce costs, so many of them are gonna opt on game key cards and idk, it's a bummer

@UglyIdiot0 Well, I got mine one day late as you could see so I don't know who made a mistake really haha But to be fair, it wasn't Nintendo's fault, the transportation met a problem if I read that right

@DoesItPlay1 @LimitedRunGames Assuming Nintendo fix this in their translation layer as well, unpatched games should start functioning correctly when they push that fix in a future firmware update. Is there a way to update the Switch 2's firmware offline?

@SpudimusPrime89 Lack of information from nintendo on specs, ****** game key cart bullshit , tons of backward compatibility issues ... i could go on but you're not worth the effort.

I think a problem with the Switch 2 is the games shop it's full of Switch 1 titles, so it's just making it look like an upgrade, so some people will be like what's the point in getting it, Nintendo are losing the plot.

@MartinLukasMD @SingularityTars @LookAtMyMeat1 This back and fourth is retarded. The problem is simple: Nintendo's raised prices will tell the industry it's okay to raise their prices too. All the anti-consumer game companies are salavating waiting for Nintendo to make a profit. None of these games are worth 80+ dollars.

@ThomasCapella That means that switch 2 will have the same problem everyone complains about and they don't even do nothing to solve jt? Yeah, thx nintendo :D

IT"S not MY BIRTHDAY
(@Roadhogdgod) reported
like mario kart wt would not be 80 dollars if nintendo wasn't confident that enough people would buy it anyway. like it's not worth criticizing random individuals cause it's a much bigger issue, but it's silly to act like their spending habits exist in a vacuum.

(@WolffGamerZach0) reported
@Shorttempered30 The way to fix this honestly is to call Nintendo help line (or something like that) and get to customer service and tell them what happened. Because one time I had a Switch Light get stolen from me and when I bought a new one I had to call them to make my account be on the new 1

@midnightlunachr Not quite, though there are efforts from the other competitors to go full digital, none really committed fully to it. Now Nintendo basically goes and kills their advantage they had over the overs all while increasing their price for less service and games...

@sam_croese @darknight068 @lambiepie64 I'm literally a shameless Nintendo fanboy. I admit that. But I have to admit yes my S2 is having problems establishing a good connection with my router. My S1 works perfectly normal. My S2 doesn't.

@Pirat_Nation Poor battery, stick drift problems that haven't been resolved from the first Switch, consoles crashing repeatedly and even reports of battery swelling. Nintendo quality doesn't mean what it used to mean.

@brush_wiper maybe it's not sold out everywhere like the ps 5 was since nintendo maybe but just maybe thought ahead and provided way more stock in general? and we are out from the covid times so producing more would have easier possible too. its the first console i had problem to get one.1/2

I still don’t understand why Nintendo could fix the loose in dock issues with the #Switch2 design. It’s so damn wobbly changing a game in and out is terrifying. Feel like I’m gonna break it or ruin the connection to TV

@ShitpostRock FINALLY! I felt like I was taking crazy pills. I have seen A lot of games on ps5 launching at 80 or more and "crickets" Nintendo does it and NOW people take issue? Better late than never I suppose, but it's still ******* weird.

@LonelyGoomba I think this problem will fix itself. Most people that paid 80 don’t think it’s worth the asking price. Nintendo can price future games however they want to but they’ll do so at the expense of sales.

Why are things not showing on the browser @NintendoUK eShop? Tried to get the Fantasy Life S2 upgrade and Squeakross via phone but neither were there but are when you look on S2. Convenient to buy games on phone for download to console. Please fix!

@drizzlestorm359 @Sonicenthusiest @Churro__875 Nintendo has been stagnant, not really innovating much about the systems/games. Cool, the games look better, run better, and actually might not stutter as much. But this has been the industry STANDARD for YEARS they have always been lagging behind the competition with hardware.

@DarkVe1ns @ShitpostRock 1) Nintendo doesn't make pokemon games 2) Arceus is one of the worst games in the franchise, if you think "it's ok", don't play Pokemon games, because the problem is that they're DIRECTLY not made for you.

@darthcloud64 Hey Jacques, is the multi pairing bug with Nintendo controllers still an issue with the laser bear GC mod? If I understand correctly retrotime and the mod both use your software
