  @retro_cheater @ArtistNcs That's a good decision too. I should've stated *as of now* but then again, Nintendo never did fix the drift for the original Switch either so we'll have to play the waiting game to see what they do. We can only hope for the best.

  @CHARMERS96 I think the **** reality is the games were gonna be 80 whether Nintendo did it or not. We need a industry crash like yesterday

  @NextGenPlayer There was a world parts shortage in 2020 thanks to the COVID pandemic. Because of this, both Sony and Xbox struggled to produce enough units to meet demand. That is no longer an issue in 2025, Nintendo has access to it's parts. So I feel like this is an unfair comparison.

  @DramaAlert Not getting the issue here, honestly, why is this a problem now? She wasn't a Nintendo employee nor Nintendo was attached to her in any possible way except for a temporal contract every now and then...

  @NintendoAmerica Can we fix mario kart? Bugged wall jumps, 0 progression progress, no multi-player free roam. The game feels unfinished. Which is wild considering how long you said it's been finished.

  @charlieINTEL @ethangach That’s the issue facing Microsoft is the cost issue for handhelds with x86 cpus, that at lower power burgers are not as efficient as ARM. To put console games on arm, the whole code needs to be compiled for arm from x86. Nintendo has been the biggest pioneer of ARM gaming.

  @Nintendeal It's basically an Xbox controller, dude. Why not give the respect to Xbox. They made Nintendo and Playstation fix their lanky controller designs by make the prototype controller.

  @MyNutsAreHuuge @nahuacapital @Nick_Marseil The same thing happened to me, but I only pay for one service. Game Pass, Xbox, Nintendo, and PC are the way to go.

  @LordM3MA @Ethanzilla1984 @Paleonyx_Art i already said once that i believe it's silly they aren't going after the obvious issues with palworld's models and the easiest claims of plagiarism. that does not mean the model issues don't exist, nor does it mean i agree with what nintendo *is* going after.

  @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

  How @NoMansSky released cross save with Nintendo switch 2, have be absolutely broken and unable to play cross save, after people paid for the product for a second time. To not even acknowledge it is diabolical behaviour.

  @OutOfPocketChum @LaprasKnowsBest @ArtistNcs It really comes down to picking your poison. Regardless, Nintendo fans will most likely get it. The best thing anyone can do is just to know what you're buying, what to expect for issues, and so on.

  @Kneon The main issue is with Nintendo their first party games rarely go on sale.

  @MustacheCash101 @gosuprime022 @Nintendo It still their characters if they had an issue with a trans woman representing their character they would say so since nintendo cares about their ips a lot

  @CentroLeaks Wait, so Gamefreak makes an Xbox Exclusive game that far surpasses anything visually that pokemon has going for it but Scar and Vio looks like **** and Legends Z-A looks visually lazy? So is Nintendo or the pokemon company the problem??? Or is this a whole other department in GF?

  Wing (@LoperWing) reported 45 minutes ago

  wait I just realized this means Nintendo *lied* in their compatibility data. Pikmin 3 was not in any of the lists of problematic games, meaning Nintendo was insinuating the game worked perfectly. Yet here the game is completely not working.

  @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

  @Marthware The issue lies with Nintendo and studio managers prioritizing cutting corners, low risks, no attention to the little details, focusing on DEI at the expense of the final result. Developers share the blame too, some create toxic workplaces or lack the competence needed

  @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.

  @FerrisWheelPro Bro the part Nintendo fanboy don’t understand has nothing to do with people been mad at you for buying a NS. Is your money you the way you like. The problem comes when the same fanboys start talking nonsense about the NS2 been as powerful as the ps5 when barely reach a steam deck

  @J_ROOST @NintendoAmerica Mentioning that the game is $80 isn't dumb but a fact; the game is priced at $80 so Nintendo makes YOU think that buying the bundle will save you money. You guys assuming that we HAVE TO willingly pay more money for less content is the really dumb thing here and the root problem

  @sthetixofficial Updated to the newest Version with no problems. Before updating I tried to launch OFW which failed (I never use it), then launched Semi-Stock and updated online through Nintendo Servers. Got the new HATS-Pack, SYSmmc was already on newest Version, only had to update Emummc Thanks

  @Adziwo_ @NintyPrime Yeah that's the part I really hate about buying new hardware. If the issue with the trigger seems like something that doesn't fix itself over time, you might want to send it in for repair. I would hope Nintendo lets you keep the console so you can still play it in the meantime.

  @MetalJesusRocks The problem is with 3rd party published games.. Well, the source of the problem is that Nintendo is only offering them 3rd party a 64GB card, and charging $16 for it. The Key Cards are likely a small fraction of that. Nintendo needs to offer smaller cards for smaller games.

  @Moondog8679 @J_ROOST @Nintendo 3D isn't that much cheaper, its actually more expensive. The problem is that most adults won't see a 2D animated film, but are willing to see a 3D animated film instead.

  @Pirat_Nation Nintendo has actual QC and their consoles doesn’t come broken out of the box.
