    @DestinLegarie wow the amount of people who have lost the understanding of turning on the a nintendo hardware putting the game in and play---99.99% of people are now frankly scary "internet plugged in", "What's the problem?" It's you.(not you Destin, them)

    @Xtremeisthebest @Pirat_Nation Nintendo is doing the LEAST. thats the problem. Nintendo runs pokemon btw, they have some say in how it works & the funding for it. if the game is *** we can blame the runners of the pokemon series but its also owned by Nintendo who oversees it, some fault is on them

    Closing statement. This isn’t a skill issue, as most of it is just clutter from the amount of players. My sibling said ”you only have fun when you’re winning” IM NOT HAVING FUN BECAUSE ITS JUST STRAIGHT UP FRUSTRATING. This was a huge downgrade from 8 deluxe. Do better Nintendo.

    @Chris_Dring I fully expect them to launch a streaming only service or subscription for TVs and stuff in the future if adoption starts gaining traction. But they will do everything to ensure that 30% is still very lucrative on their own platform and not give it others. Nintendo will be well..

    Nintendo claims the Switch 2 Joy-Cons are built from the ground up—but stick drift is still a problem. They literally copied the internal design. Clearly, the only lesson they took from past consoles is that people will keep paying to replace broken controllers. #Gaming #Switch2 #NintendoSwitch2

    @Xbox_Series_XS Nintendo is terrified of all these handheld PC that can easily emulate their hardware. Maybe they wouldn't have that problem if they made real hardware

    @uniformcritic They're designed to stand out. They sure do. Look at the TD one in Toronto or the Nintendo one in Seattle. No amount of complaining will fix it. They're awful and they're here to stay.

    It is, you’re giving me an argument with no way to prove it. You just saying it doesn’t mean it’s true. I can’t find a single example that proves Sony and Xbox don’t do the same thing. Also I would argue even if it was a problem with only Nintendo, which it’s not, they just filled over 3 million console preorders on day 1. The most video game consoles sold on day 1 of all time. Thats the opposite of scarcity. Also they sold twice as many console as the ps5. Opposite of scarcity. I’m talking about consoles only right now.

    @_Ashaman @Pirat_Nation I heard the Mario movie had the same issue with Peach, and Nintendo forced Illumination to reel it WAY back until we got what we actually got.

    @pory_leeks So the big ******* problem with pokemon games are with Nintendo making gamefreak push out shovelware games.

    @RealLifeFakeWiz If yall can skip fomo these games will be $20 in a year. But Nintendo? Yeah Mario karts gonna be $80 come 2030. Nintendo is the problem here and any other answer is wrong.

    Jordan Green (@Smurfgotbeat) reported

    I had an idea it was a possibility but let's be honest.. the newest Nintendo system is gonna be in-demand. Wish I pre-ordered but nevermind, on the plus side an OLED has had a decent price drop so if I wanted to invest in one in the future for my little one it's not going to be a stock issue.

    I've learned a little bit more about the Switch 2 and would like to change my stance. I will still not be buying a Switch 2, but for different reasons. Now that I'm more informed, I have less issues with the EULA, but I still have problems with prices and Nintendo transparency.

    @Nintendo @NintendoAmerica the switch 2 is cool and all, but PLEASE fix the gamecube adapter disconnection problem please!! My controller disconnects after an hour-ish of gameplay

    @sister_wow @NextGenPlayer You mean the one Xbox is trying to artificially induce? Cuz Nintendo has only released one $80 dollar game that isn't an upgrade edition. And Sony/other publishers don't seem to be following suit. They thought they could bait em, and up Game Pass's value. Glad it's not working...

  • DetvanS
    Detvan SK (@DetvanS) reported

    But I was not meaned any of these things. You was just assumed I meant that but I wrote something else. Yes, I wrote it is risky, I still think that and if this risk will not go well then PS and Nintendo lost competitor and on the contrary, they will hardlock more games into consoles than before because will have enough of users for that. But yeah, I also think would be good if Xbox would go well with console working along PC system. But what I was really critizing that Xbox Rog Ally do not solving any of that. It is Xbox device that do not working at Xbox system. It is just next Win device just optimised to compete with Steam OS. That is only purpose of device.

    @Moskaato @Stealth40k @GyoJvfr Yes, and every time it happens, it’s a problem. “Nintendo isn’t the first time that’s happened so don’t blame Nintendo” no, I will blame them for doing it because they know they can. If you do, in fact, do something, then you did, in fact, do the thing. Literally basic logic.

    @CONEY Idk i spent 3 hours just roaming the open world and found quite a bit of random stuff, I dont think its particularly a problem with this game. (Other Nintendo open worlds tho...) Music is the best part of the game tho by far.

    @L337L4K3 I just think Xbox clearly doesn’t care about exclusivity and is going to put their games everywhere. Gears going to ps made that even more clear to me. Problem is I don’t see Nintendo or ps doing that to Xbox lol

    @kazzy_115 Maybe youre young but the last crash introduced 70-80 dollar Nintendo games 70 sega games....you kids don't know how good we have it. If games adjusted like everything else we'd already be at $100 games

    @8BitDo heads up, Nintendo updated the Switch 1 again and the "USB Wireless Adapter 2" is not working... Again. The system recognizes a controller but the controller won't function. (Buttons and directionals do not register). And I just updated to the latest firmware
