    @infrarogue89 @DeItaone Do I WISH it were so? No. In an ideal world most companies would stay 3rd party, most would take advantage of all systems to most of their potential (something they had no problem with between Sega and Nintendo in the 90's), and the home grown studios would max each system.

    Nintendo fans have a problem of recognizing a problem but then blaming the wrong person or coming to the wrong conclusion

    my friendship comes with my streaming service logins and a spot on my nintendo switch online family plan because when i want you to consume some form of media that i liked i won’t be tolerating “i don’t have that platform” ***** you do now

  • cash4kromer Js (@cash4kromer) reported

    @Peaceful_Hermit Live service games are don’t usually have a single player/story mode, and if they do online is the main focus. Apex, Valorant, Fortnite, Warzone, GTA, Leauge, FF XIV, etc. The problem is Nintendo keeps doing this with single player games.

  • Peaceful_Hermit Gi ♣🌸 (@Peaceful_Hermit) reported

    @cash4kromer @sailorsarkan202 @SquidDude8 Lazy? More like they're late to the industry. The most popular games nowadays are all live service games where content is drip fed over time. Look outside the Nintendo bubble.

    @MojangStatus @MojangSupport Hey Mojang me and my friend have been having a problem with the new update. Everytime it auto saves it kicks my Xbox from his Nintendo switch server. Please consider our issue because this glitch really kind of ruins the game for the both of us. 🙏

  • RoseSilicon Rose (Mostly RTs now) (@RoseSilicon) reported

    @144tzer @KKBrown76 @DetectiveEvy Yes we know gamefreak can’t write shaders for ****, or anything for **** really. It was a problem back then, and it’s a huge problem now. But at the end of the day, Nintendo is complicit as ****. Hell, the current ceo of Nintendo literally came from the Pokémon company.

  • morning__gl0ry Tired Plant Freak #BLM (@morning__gl0ry) reported

    My first game I ever got for my Nintendo DS, which was gift from my late grandma, was the original tinker bell game, the corner is broken and it only works on my old pink da instead of my newer 3Ds. It’s in storage somewhere but I want it back…

  • GalaxyCatcus JeliumXactus (@GalaxyCatcus) reported

    @KrangKotobuki Another Nintendo game with the "fix it later" ideology? Say it ain't so

  • RealitiesCore Heart of Existence(THE RESISTENCE BEGINS) (@RealitiesCore) reported

    @Durrtydoesit How about you leave Nintendo out of your console war bs? We Nintendo fans are dealing with enough problems. We don’t need egotistical pricks who ****** over “muh gwaphix” making things worse

  • WillieWangWang1 WillieWangWang (@WillieWangWang1) reported

    @MPGMasterRace @Shpeshal_Nick I’ve played on my phone and also Nintendo switch. They used to put both in dedicated lobbies. I never noticed any lag. I thought it would be terrible, but my experience quickly changed my mind. Not sure how they do it, but it works. In my experience, at least.

  • KingBowserKOTK KingBowserKOTK (@KingBowserKOTK) reported

    @AidenRS139 Personally, I'd rather have Odyssey 2 just because it would be more fun in general and it would fix the first game's ending. But, if I'm sitting at Nintendo HQ and making this decision, I'd make a new DK game with K. Rool.

  • real_Amilix Amilix (@real_Amilix) reported

    @MarioAndRosie77 Nintendo knowing how to properly do live service for their main console games? If only it were possible 😔

  • Avoided_Anomaly Hot HONK HONK Surtr baby! (@Avoided_Anomaly) reported

    Heck the fact it's clear it's going to be another ******* Nintendo Live Service game as well.

  • GAMER1984dude Jeremy (Be Kind and Rewind) (@GAMER1984dude) reported

    @Durrtydoesit @e2m5dotbsp Ps5 best games are Returnal (Sucks) Ratchet and Clank( (please) (spider-man DLC $50 game ) and what else multi platforms games? devs dont even have Kits still give the PS5 another year hasnt even broken any grown 17 million in 2 years is nothing to gloat nintendo 104 in 5 years.

  • AzariaLimuli Azaria Limuli (@AzariaLimuli) reported

    @TheFoxBook Very possible. It was less bad on Playstation than Nintendo (they could actually use "Holy" in ff7 instead of changing it ) but not a complete non-issue either. For that time period, I'd say it's a toss-up between that and just a mistake

  • kungfupanda312 Kung Fu (@kungfupanda312) reported

    @NintendoUK Can you sort out order asap!! Customer service been hanging up on me everyday and it’s been more than 2 months now!!

  • BaSiC_Poi Poi (da boi) (@BaSiC_Poi) reported

    @Zer0dotEXE @NintendoUK Absolutely. Back spam is broken in Mario Kart 8 LOOOOOL

  • TenioenaiSora Aozora (@TenioenaiSora) reported

    The Nintendo eShop page isn't up yet (and it will take longer to come up, no it isn't because any "Switch port issue" bs you could find, that's how it is for upcoming games usually

  • Toprepublicant Mark Daga (@Toprepublicant) reported

    @NubbyBair @MickleChrom The fact that these bugs or whatever you call it is normalized is also sad. Nintendo won't care to fix it because no one seems to care.

  • MKHD1004 . (@MKHD1004) reported

    @onnanoko_amai @DyingLightGame Bro the game even runs on the ******* Nintendo Switch so your PC is the problem and not the game
