RepentantSky Wishes everyone a wonderful day
(@RepentantSky) reported
@littlemoogles_ It's because Nintendo does it more often. When PlayStation and Xbox re-release first party games, they tend to do it for cheaper, like the Uncharted Collection for 40 bucks at launch. Nintendo saying pay 10 extra bucks for Miitopia is a problem.

@AC_Roald @NintendoAmerica as blue as how people will be when they find out that these will have drifting issues too

@Mongolianch0p Yes it is a fantastic game for anyone who likes 3d platformers. If you get the game on PC or Nintendo Switch you also can get the DLC which fixes one problem with the game feeling way too short, though the DLC has yet to release on PS4 or Xbox One

Not a great night for streaming. First, I found out that my mic might have been muted during half of the Nintendo Direct react stream, then my Internet cuts out right before the end of my stream. Hopefully I don't have any issues for the rest of my streams this week.

@Mp63Pj @AUnhingedGamer @Sora_Sakurai I know it's multiplat now, but I still always think Playstation when I think Crash. That said, Nintendo adding more of its own characters doesn't mean he won't appear. I can guarantee they'll always turn to their own catalog 1st though, especially to avoid paying extra royalties

My guess is the next Nintendo Direct will be at E3, and will have the final true “hype” character in Smash DLC. Who it is, we don’t know. My money will always be on Crash though.

@DerekRumpler My hunch is that the problem was with the My Nintendo mission API front end and the endpoint that generated the codes to redeem for pins was running separately and had logic to validate the missions were done (it was hosted on a cloudflare endpoint unlike the mission api)

@andreaisdumb @SuperIsaiahYT @cinnamqn_ Well i dont think they can just put Crash in if they feel like it. Activision might be a bit harder to negotiate with than microsoft. Its always easier to put characters in the game that are nintendo property so they dont have to worry about licenses with other publishers

(@Alfrednt_) reported
@doctorbleak @subtoconnorpls What about Mario 3D All-Stars, three ported Nintendo games for $60? Or Crash N.Sane Trilogy, remastered from scratch by a much smaller company for $40? Or the same smaller company doing the same with Spyro Reignited for $20? 1/2

@TheJWittz looks like this error is caused by the USBC power control chip on the board, so I feel like Nintendo could replace it without much trouble or data loss? Pokemon and Animal Crossing saves won't transfer if you link a new one. The chip is replaceable user-side, but idk

(@Raiden_Kage) reported
@EmberBraix Splatoon 2 (Splatoon 1 probably handled it a similar way I never played) had serious connection issues because all the games you'd play were peer to peer. I'd get kicked out of them constantly due to a "connection error" and Nintendo is too stingy to buy servers for the game

@littlemoogles_ The problem with Nintendo is their prices don’t go down. Even with games they publish. Marvel Ultimate Alliance is still a full price game. That’s one of my favorite games on switch and it’s not worth $60. Other companies will release games and then after a few months price cut.

@Tuppy2cents @XaelTheArtist I don’t see crash coming. Simply activion. They don’t work with folks kindly and a company like Nintendo would not take a 50. Yard stick against that

(@MardiniYoute) reported
@Rykeon @jph_anderson Thats the problem, it never goes down. Because Nintendo sees it like this. "They will buy it regardless" and so they don't lower any prices. Its ridiculous.

i'll take any form of criticism except the one thing that nintendo actually sought out to fix for this port. tell me one reason not to play it that isn't the motion controls

@TribbleTj @CheeseCakeJojo @CONEY they're not being made at the expense of other games and you're not forced to buy them i can't believe you're making me defend nintendo, a company whose corporate practices i loathe, but this is a non-issue

(@toastpana) reported
i think they should've given a teaser of the switch pro today, since it's been all but officially confirmed that it's a thing part of my problem with nintendo is they act like their **** doesn't get leaked 6 months in advance when they announce stuff

@McTroid @NintendoAmerica I have never experienced a drift issue on my Joycons, and i have been using them since launch, so i can't really sympathize.

(@CPBits) reported
@Dopamine_Chem I liked Splatoon 2, and the Octo Expansion was GREAT imo. I think one of the bigger issues is that it only took ~2 years before Nintendo abandoned Splatoon 2 and now wants everyone to buy the new one. Why not make it DLC and add more updates to the game we already own?

This is a problem because the way you select and move units is with a cursor, but the cursor is locked to the grid, and you, being someone with a nintendo DS, have only a D-Pad.

All suddenly people love The Legend of Zelda Skyward Sword. Nintendo shills are special kind of spineless. They didn't fix that gimmicky *** game. You all didn't call them out on dumb control schemes. I hate motion controls&right joystick for sword swings. I'm anti-Skyward Sword.

@feydemon How are crash and Spyro gonna be 3 full games, each with new graphics for $40, Nintendo does this ****. I would wait for a sale but it almost never ******* happens

@RyanRibbity idk if i said it before but i WILL say it again if crash bandicoot is not added to smash bros now, when his popularity has came back after remasters of the original trilogy, ctr, AND an all new title, when he has been the most relevant to nintendo, i will be INCREDIBLY upset
