    @EathanRivera @DreadDemon92 @ForShantae Thats literally Sonic's moveset from his original games, LMAO. If you have a problem with his moveset, then go to Sakurai or Nintendo about it, since they're the ones that created his moveset. You're just looking for excuses because you already know Sonic has way more

    @HuskyTw1nk I think one of Nintendo's problems with VR is basically none of their big name franchises really suit it that well. Maybe Star Fox ig

    @AtelierRann It reminds me of the Deponia collection and how much that was when it came to Nintendo switch compared to pc and ps . That's the issue. Not the game but pricing is an issue .

    @KRoolKountry If there was a fighting game about any one Nintendo series, the roster being all of one series makes sense, it would be like complaining that Mario Kart doesn't have Captain Falcon. The problem just kinda comes from "a celebration of gaming" being 10% a series that nearly died.

    @nintendolife That’s the problem with Nintendo fans… YOU push your hopes up, and YOU disappoint YOURSELF. Stop doing this to yourselves. Go see a psychiatrist you psychopaths.

    @literal_cringe @mintyMit @NiGHTS108 Yeah, this was one of the earlier games which Nintendo did the "games as a service" schtick with. It was fun during the Splatoon 1 days, early Switch was "okay, maybe less pls?", then it got crazy with New Horizons.

    @Joulari2 @GameStop @NintendoAmerica I have similar problems, it's why I always try and do my preorders in person.

    hey @FortniteGame am keep lagging becuse i cant have the ''pc'' settings mean fortnite make the game far for xbox/ps4/nintendo

    My another issue is that Japanese bots beasting the race. No one mention about this, but it gives me a sense of Xenophobia from Nintendo. Another proof is that they are not great players in multiplayer races. So I don't know why they are so great as a bot, but not as a player.

    Am I the only one who is experiencing major problems with YouTube on the Nintendo Switch? I just can't watch videos for some stupid reason. And for onece my trashnet is not the problem there.

  • All_Meshed_Up

    The biggest problem is that @RareLtd was vital to the N64. Nintendo knows this. GoldenEye won't happen, and anything they could put on Switch has better versions on Rare Replay. They could add on-the-fly enhancements through the emulation (like Mario 3D All-Stars) but... why?

    @ForShantae ...And after counting the quantity of fighters per different company that I understand the sense, so three ones (Cloud, Dragon Quest's hero and Saphiroth), it might be too late to adding Sora, instead of missing icon (Crash, Doom or Rayman), who deserve more relate to Nintendo.

    @GingerJay91 @NintendoAmerica why's it broken tho 😭

  • FenrisRetro
    FenrisWolfRetro (@FenrisRetro) reported

    @zerohimself @DragonsHoardMod Well, only if you don't lube the joints. The problem was Nintendo didn't add any lubricant on the bowl, gears, or sticks. Constant friction resulted in the sticks wearing out because it shaved down the plastic. This should be less of, if not at all, a problem with good lube.

    @ArloStuff Had the Joy-Con drift, sent them into Nintendo, got them repaired for free, have not had an issue since.

    @Sora4Smash2 I wouldn't be surprised if Nintendo openly admits that they don't care enough about those franchises to cater to them. Also, the Pokémon fighters have more diversity in their movesets (outside of clones), so I don't really the problem with Pokémon's representation.

    @tramplingTrex @The_FlumeAT @nintendolife the implementation of bluetooth audio wasn't a problem. Switch has had full bluetooth since March 3rd 2017, release day. Nintendo only recently enabled it because bluetooth allows for unsigned packets to be pushed to the switch (wii mini was hacked in this manor)

    All this transferring nonsense is confusing but thankfully my save data is backed up on Nintendo Switch online so obviously I'll need to somehow receive my Delfino island data and transfer it from my dead broken Switch to my OLED Switch 🤡

    btw removing weapon's only weaknesses isn't just 52 problem, look at bamboo after damage up and mpu or chargers first game, seems like nintendo is just repeating mistakes at this point...

    @blacktyspower_ @WWEgames @RandyOrton No problem 👍🏻 it’s a shame that they focus on Xbox and PlayStation and not the Nintendo consoles hopefully that changes soon
