@Lousaidwat @Code_Loyal_Red @DomsPlaying That's on Nintendo as a HW manufacturer by choice. But by SW Nintendo is king, Pokémon with glaring issues, and **** HW, outsold GOW Ragnarok 2 to 1 in less than a week, that's not an abnormal trend. Plus it's amazing that Sony 10-15 years ago had a vibrant if not okay shooter

Wonder if I'll get unfollowed for being a Nintendo fan but understands the potential of PC gaming and the SteamDeck. And has no issues emulating Tales of Xillia 2? ~

@ZhugeEX It is like the Fifa games but for Nintendo. Instead of collecting middle aged millionaires you collect cute monsters. No matter how broken the game is, the collection aspect keeps the brain chemicals flowing and since they always need more they blindly buy the new one everytime.

@JeffGrubb Looking back at both Nintendo and Xbox. Both have had to innovate or change their entire business strategy to claw back into the markets good graces. Nintendo WiiU bust = They create a new portable/dockable console. Xbox One bust = Form a cheap sub service for game and gamers

With the recent release of the new @Pokemon game being plagued with performance issues. You have to start wondering if it wouldn't be a smarter move for @Nintendo to release these larger franchises on other platforms too? Yes they want to sell switches but this isnt helping them.

@Nydius4 @zTxMeta @SkillUpYT So now MS is offering lower barriers for struggling families to game via cheap hardware & subscriptions and it's a problem?? How's it said? MS can eat the cost? Back then Sony ate cost when Nintendo or Sega wasn't willing to!

@MassiveSk @PlayerEssence @Reecee_yt I have seen many people writing complaints to Nintendo's customer service. I have also seen many people returning the digital games and receiving reimbursements. So, IT IS happening, one thing doesn't exclude the other.

I experienced 0 performance issues with my playthrough of Pokémon Violet on Yuzu. I booted it on switch once, started playing for 40 minutes and wouldn't you see? Glitch after glitch makes the game borderline unplayable. @Nintendo plz make a new console with alot more power. Plz

@Jaconian That game definitely has frame rate issues, as well. It’s certainly jarring for a Nintendo game, but it has a lot more going on visually. Not to mention it’s not a buggy mess. It feels actually constrained by the hardware whereas this new Pokemon just feels literally unfinished.

@D1Oe1S1eyTyc5oa @will84ny @lulumeservey What about crash, spyro, singularity, guitar hero, diablo among many other IP that activision owns? It is not about 1 game but a second publisher going xbox/pc only vs multiplatform with ps and nintendo in the mix. Bethesda is already going xbox/pc, do we need a second one?

@bobo5224 @NinEverything No no, we're not doing this. I'm loving violet, but that game is very, very flawed. It has broken my assumption of "nintendo games will always be polished" . Gameplay is great, but gamefreak should not be thanked after releasing it that way. Not even if they patch it

@BenjiSales Of course leave it to Nintendo cultists to support a broken buddy messy game. If they'd kept the same energy as they did during cp2077 release, or ac unity, or starters battlefront 2 they'd actually start getting a finished game.

@reksveks sales of the game are damn impressive. Pokémon remains a major cultural phenomenon. I don't see one ropey entry performance wise damaging that. I do hope Nintendo take the criticism to heart though & fix the franchise so it isn't a busted mess in the future. 2/2

@BlessingJr It just means eople are willing to buy a broken product. This is not any different than buying broken *** Ubisoft game. Probably lots of ignorant parents too bought it for their kids for Christmas. Hope it mostly fixed by then, I doubt tho. Nintendo gets free pass, again.

I think enough is enough and Nintendo needs to step in and force them to fix the quality issues one way or another. Either get GameFreak on Unity or Unreal engine with a bunch of new developers or just straight up replace them IMO. It's unacceptable it has gotten to this point.

(@LinkofHyrule89) reported
This is how Pokemon has been able to devolve so much vs a game like Metroid 4 that was straight-up canceled when Nintendo considered the quality not up to par compared to their other first-party titles that are generally very high quality and almost never have major issues.

Like I swear, the only ones I've heard people bark about regarding the state of SV are the ones BUYING it, the devs for MAKING it, and... Nintendo. (for some reason.) Not one PEEP about TPC, the ones who set the deadlines, and the ones who choose to PUBLISH these broken messes.

The silence from Nintendo/Game Freak on any sort of fix for the issues with the new Pokémon games is both baffling and infuriating. CD Projekt Red was ripped to shreds for the state of Cyberpunk and I don’t know why this is any different

@Kotaku Did you know PlayStation, Xbox and Nintendo also hire hackers? They pay people to find exploits In their systems so they can fix them

@PlayerEssence @Reecee_yt Why are you always like this man. Every post of yours I see. Like it's ok to be critical of a major Nintendo release, especially when it's as broken as S/V.

@letshugbro @YakouMori @HeatPhoenix Oh I agree "live service" is definitely an avenue that could work, I just feel like that's not something they're into at all. Nintendo love to just have the big releases, doing things the old ways and when you look at this or Splatoon 3 you can kind of see why.

@pearcechloeee Stop making excuses for Nintendo. You're sad, and this is literally a multi billion dollar company. They had lots of time to fix this before release, but they rushed it instead

|| Aye #NintendoRP verse. Be careful, Nintendo is sending DMCAs to accounts and may seek legal trouble. One of my Link accounts just got axed because of it.
