Game Or Die
(@GameOrDie007) reported
I get why people are bummed (kinda, none of the Nintendo characters are big voiced dialog. She says "Mario!!!" And that's about it) This issue is that this is just the way the world works, and why people are up in arms about it is baffling. You are not guaranteed work for life because you voiced a character before. That's how acting gigs work. She didn't get called back.... that's the story. Clearly no one else here is an actor, or has any idea how the industry works, because if they were. They go "yeah... so?" Because that's how it is in the industry. She assumed she'd have a job for life and she didn't. End of story. Would it be nice to keep her around until she dies then force Nintendo to finally replace her? Eh I guess it would be for her. But she isn't a big character with any real personality/defining traits. Her voice could be done by pretty much anyone and I guarantee no one would tell the difference. Zelda's voice actress has more definable voice and much more dialog and would be more noticeable if they replaced her. But even then... that's life/business. No one is guaranteed work for life. If this was a breech of contract... that's a different story. But it's not.

@TheAlbertanVoic @NintendoAmerica It's a handheld with an HDMI output. I wouldn't call it a home console. It's more powerful than a steam deck. The price of first party games is a problem for sure. IDK if anybody disagrees on that part.

@Nintendo Should have been animated.... There's A LOT of things that could go terribly bad with a live action adaptation.... If it was animated, a lot of problems could be solved easily....

(@Mortal2_) reported
@smug_diva @MethMathis @DynamoSuperX So we are blaming Nintendo, the publishers and creatures the ones who make the models? The issue was GF were in a cycle of making the same game over and over again because it banged and eventually got tired and less passion went in. Legends was the changing point to that tbh.

@FortKnoxCrypto @Stealth40k Nintendo needs to be careful. Hunter Schefer is a trans actor and i dont really care about that stuff but based on what ive seen on tv thost type of actresses and actors have have controversial opinions look at Snow White as an example of bad casting causing pr problems

Battery retraining for the Nintendo Switch 2 can help fix an inaccurate battery indicator, as Nintendo officially suggests this for calibration. It involves fully discharging and recharging the battery a few times. Many users report success, especially after long storage. However, repeatedly fully discharging lithium-ion batteries may reduce their lifespan due to chemical stress. Only do this if you notice clear issues like rapid drain or erratic readings. Follow Nintendo’s steps, keep the system updated, and avoid routine full discharges. For best battery health, charge between 20% and 80%. If problems persist, contact Nintendo support.

@vibescalvo @weavesnatcherr @Back2Batk Nintendo has the cheapest online service out there by FAR, you do realize that, right? It's literally $20 a year (compared to PlayStation at $80 and Xbox at $10 a month, no yearly option from what I saw) And you don't own the software chief, that's been the case for decades

@SirReyes23 @2AZero_ @Grummz Steam has the same terms of service as nintendo does when it comes to owning digital games. I like steam too but is it just cause of pricing cause all the e stores run sales like steam does.

@PaweSasko Sadly I am part of the problem why gaming is dying because I bought a 4th copy for Switch 2. And I gave more money to the greedy corporation @NintendoAmerica by buying 2 Switch 2's.

@IkesTechTalk If you want to sell Gamepass as a service then a handheld is the way to go. Nintendo got the handheld game on lock & key 🔐 rn. I know Xbox just had price hikes very recently, so this pushing into purchasing a base level iPhone Pro isn’t out of the question

@Hugoz262 @Marthware I'm going to need you to realise that Nintendo and Gamefreak each own 33% of the Pokémon Company. This is a joint issue

@Jazputin That's true but the switch 1 also had the exact same issue the switch lite too. Nintendo just was able to recover themselves with the switch 2

🔴Rolando🟢
(@RolandoDR98) reported
@Icewallowcumin The problem is that GameFreak, Nintendo, Creatures, or TPC don't allow for Pokémon to take it's time. Even if it NEEDS a delay Each game only gets 3 years of development and a lot of it is with fragmented teams Their new game was likely in development for longer than 3 years

maybe gingy
(@GinGysBurner) reported
Been playing the switch 2 and I can’t help but thinking that if Nintendo wanted to attract an older audience ( not that they have a problem doing so ) they should turn Samsus from Metroid into a more Master Chief like character bad *** alien slaying dude

@LonelyGoomba The issue with World was Nintendo was WAY overhyping it and being excessively cryptic with its information. They drove our expectations way too high.

@OldManDaud @GAMERNEWSonX Nintendo raised the price of games to 80 dollars remember? Nintendo has no subscription service equivalent to Gamepass do a bit of research

Worst part is this wouldn't even be an issue if nintendo just made mario kart world come out for the switch as well

@AokanaExtra2 Only thing making it better is a crash cuz that's where we're heading at this point. I also think a lot of these companies are overestimating what they can get away with. Sure Nintendo could get away with the $80 bs. But your average company? Idk about that chief. Lol

@sam_croese @bogorad222 They're locked to Xbox and PC, its going to be harder when you aren't on the 2 significantly more popular consoles and have to stream to play on phones They're likely not going to climb past 60M without Playstation and Switch and both Sony and Nintendo don't want the service

Trying to get hold of @NintendoUK support is a joke! Been trying all day and still can't log into my Nintendo account, nothing worse than crap customer service 😡

@Marthware it's tPCi that's the problem, which is equal parts Creatures, Game Freak, and Nintendo. in particular i think a lot of the fault should land on Creatures. they handle modeling and animations.

@ProminenceBurn_ @midnightlunachr we blame ea for microtransactions and live service models, we blame xbox for paid online, we can blame nintendo for 80$ games too

"Pokémon Arceus doesn't look bad" It doesn't have anything to do with Nintendo, the Pokémon company or even Game Freak. It's you. You're the problem for being like... This. They could release a $80 can of worm,if it has the shape of Mario or Pikachu,you'd buy the deluxe edition.

@hendax45 @ArgosHelpers It's issue from the quality Nintendo used . My cousin works at Amazon and they had a lot of seals coming off before they even entered the packing department

(@FoxSTARSVT) reported
@ShadowFoxArche Well nobody cared but they cared when Nintendo released an expensive game and prices raised. Which is ironic they had no problem buying $70 games but now $80 is tooooo expensive. I mean we are paying $90-100 here in Canada for games could be worse.
