I used to purchase Nintendo products with the confidence that I was getting the best quality and experience possible What do we get now? Empty, paltry game design, bottom-of-the-barrel online services and hardware problems

@OverBoredGaming I mean as far as the Pokémon games they are on the 3DS I wouldn’t want Pokémon officially on my phone cause Nintendo would give it some sort of connectivity with switch games and hacked Pokémon would be more of a problem then they already are

@MetalJesusRocks Which game do you think Nintendo should be putting on their SNES online service? Can’t say Earthbound or Mario RPG.

@Drexl_Raz @AEGRO_84 Tho I agree with you 100%, the problem with the post is you’re generalization a community (Pc,Xbox) when it’s people who does this. The other fan base like Nintendo and PS are no better. The message should be taken serious without pointing out fanboys.

@LonelyGoomba This is a problem with every Nintendo IP. People see Nintendo as their childhood friend, not a billion dollar corporation

@Dairblade You’re fine, I’ve done it on my friend’s switch a few times and unless you get reported you’re not getting banned. Nintendo basically doesn’t care abt desyncs since they happen all the time cuz of dogshit online service

Anyone know if isopropyl is a good fix for game cartridges where the connector seems to be affected by moisture? Have a super nintendo game that doesn't work, and the pins look like they have oxidation or something on them. 🤔 #retrogames #retrofixes

@ZeldafHyrule @CyanBoner @NintendoAmerica the funny thing i notice no one tried to address my toher complaints, about it feeling like skyrim with a zelda skin, the weapon issues, the lack of items and the lack of memorable or distict bosses, but i also admit im jaded at this point on that game

@mrpokeplayer_ @Femme_Monsters @NintendoAmerica I didn’t mention how you should spend your money. Last comments pointed out that the Switch have outdated specs and performance issues. I don’t care how you spend your money. That’s you getting scammed by buying the same device. We all know that the Switch OLED should be $300.

I'm not gonna hate in anyone who likes it. Seems fun and a neat idea just, it's hard to watch people try to ignore it or try to invalidate the issues just on the facts it's Nintendo/Pokémon.

@dragonatorxpert Few years back I would’ve said people don’t wanna be divided and wanna bring change to things like this (around all industries, cause there is a root problem here) but now idk. I think people like division and ****, so Nintendo would thrive with that model.

@BeerStix MM3D had that notorious Deku Link problem too, weird how Nintendo ****** it up so badly

Seeing that a DIY Joycon drift fix was discovered recently, with the person behind it having tested it for a couple months before posting it, I do hope Nintendo notices and applies their own version of it before the Switch OLED is manufactured. Might be cutting it close on that.

@Yoshiandlugia Yes, that is another wonderful thing about error messages not being able to be captured by the Nintendo Switch screenshot button.

Imagine if Nintendo launched a cloud emulation service for 20$/month but it was all NES/Snea/N64/GCN/agh/GBA games, or at least as many as they could their hands on. People would pay that easy

@AidenRS139 Part of the problem is that Nintendo have a severe overreliance on the main cast and only them. They’ll introduce new characters in a new 3D Mario game and at least a few new enemies in a 2D Mario game, but that’s it.

@nintendolife Nintendo's SNES service is like when your grandparents try to get you a video game for Christmas, but they didn't really know what they were looking for and tried their best.

@ZeldafHyrule @CyanBoner @NintendoAmerica if thats true i totally missed that tucked in there over all the loud background sounds of the fighting which while id say is a problem still, is a seperate one then what i was originally saying. but even with new tracks that doesnt make them memorable and thats what i was saying

@LonelyGoomba Nintendo stans have this exact same problem. They’ll hold Activision and Blizzard up to high standards while also protecting poor, innocent Nintendo. There’s no line they draw for them at all.

@sulkybao @RegularPerson12 @NintendoAmerica No they're salty that they're selling us the same exact hardware and all they did was upgrade the screen. They made 0 effort to sell us something new just literally the same exact thing with all the same issues. If you own one, you already have this same item.

@PcElitest Especially during the midst of controversy Like for example, Nintendo during 3DAS or the FreeMelee debacle (altho tbf, the FreeMelee reasoning might be part of the overall problem, but I HIGHLY doubt thats the full reason)

@NintendoAmerica @Nintendo you guys need to fix your network. I’m tired of being banned for these other players incompetence. This is the fifth time in two days I’ve been banned and it’s getting extremely aggravating. I can’t even enjoy playing my own game
