@bigwanger12 Don't forget the drift problem and overpriced services and games, "no changes" my ***, as a nintendo fan that's the reason to buy a series o ps5 instead

@GoNintendoTweet *sigh* this issue will just never die, will it? Nintendo has repeatedly said they keep making improvements to the manufacturing of the JoyCons, and they even specifically mentioned the analog sticks in their dev interview about the OLED model.

@XDFUNNYHAHA @GenerationGameX @p_kouhou No. It never coming to nintendo switch. Nintendo switch has poorer specs and lower resolution. Which the persona 5 royal remaster has higher resolution and higher framerate. Games like these will cause alot of lag and suffer in frame drops in action on the nintendo switch.

@RoseSilicon Yeah i know, half emu half port, but dang it if my phone can run these games, and the Switch can't, that is sad. I know Nintendo could do it, they just don't and actively try to hurt ways to play them, i wouldn't have a problem with piracy if they gave a way to buy these games.

I had some anger issues today. Mostly about Mario Strikers. But in all seriousness, Nintendo needs to get sold to Microsoft or end this "free-update" model.

People act like Persona being in every platform except Switch is Atlus being deliberately obtuse. I’m willing to bet it’s an issue on Nintendo’s side, or they’re just not able to port to Switch yet.

@mcquack306 Nothing wrong with having a preference. Mine is Xbox followed by Nintendo, and I use PC to play Final Fantasy XIV. The problem is toxic ******** screaming at you for liking the thing they've decided is inferior, disregarding your opinion entirely lmao I love that you love PS!

@EKosloske @JackChuffed @NintendoAmerica So what? That shouldn’t make a difference. Why make such a big stink over the starters when there are non-starter Pokémon who have the same “problems”? I can’t even call it a problem, just a pattern. The fandom makes it a problem.

@Youtube we are BEGGING you guys to fix this, you're killing our channels under false pretenses. I am tired of being worried or paranoid. I've also had streams flagged while playing @pokemon by 3 DIFFERENT PARTIES who are NOT affiliated with them or Nintendo in any capacity. 3/3

@Jiikae If the Fire Emblem series went dormant after Awakening, it be another IP name on the list Nintendo fans would beg to come back. It's wild too because they want more more Major level IPs, but then it's a problem if Nintendo tries to grow an IP like Xenoblade or FE.

@YoungGunn_6 Growing up a bit may be a part of it, but I also feel like it's the move to PC that changed everything. Playing games at 30-60 fps on Nintendo's ****** online service just isn't appealing to me anymore.

@BasculinGaming @JackChuffed @NintendoAmerica *the biggest issue people have, I should say - it’s only a problem to most of the fans, but not everybody sees it that way. It’s just different now, which many fans don’t like.

Weird issue with my Nintendo Switch-- the right joycon has been unsyncing when using the switch docked, and now, instead of unsyncing it's just not letting the A/B buttons work about 75% of the time? Just, no reaction. But when I connect it to the Switch itself, works great?

I want to start off by saying that the person I'm talking about I have zero issues with. Seems nice. Seems personable. As a person, seems decent. That said, why are we all confirming a Nintendo Direct is happening based off of one person who works for it's competition?

@NinStatusBot The only online service is Balloon World. Watch them pull the plug on it out of literally nowhere with no warning. That seems like a very Nintendo thing to do.

@DexyDexterity I’d imagine it because issues with the rights but I have no ******* idea tbh, Nintendo and the Pokémon company are ******* weird

@BasculinGaming @JackChuffed @NintendoAmerica Indeed, that is the biggest issue with the Gen 8 starters - but I can also point out that Incineroar has this as well, and so do the Gen 6 starters. Idk why they’ve shifted from creatures to characters, but the fandom’s not happy with it.

Just want to remind you, there is no real solution to purchasing the same game with multiple accounts when they are both linked to the same Nintendo switch and one already has the game, other than to disconnect the accounts and inputting passwords a few times

(@marssaundrgrnd) reported
@JackChuffed @NintendoAmerica I think everybody’s major gripe is that recent starters look less like CREATURES and more like CHARACTERS. That’s the big problem right there, and for some reason, it’s the starters that people take issue with while non-starters like Lucario get off scot free.

@Kingmetalx20a @Atlus_West Not gonna happen. It never coming to nintendo switch, the switch will suffer in poor framerate with lag in these games. Also Persona 5 royal rerelease is gonna be on higher resolution, designed for xbox one xbox series, playstation and steam. This is also what Steam Deck is for.

@420oneechan I waited for a year or two so some early problems could be ironed out like dock scratching, controller synch & drift. Once I saw Nintendo released the Switch V2, I bought one. I played a bit with Let's Go Eevee, and BOTW, but ACNH never left my Switch for the rest of that year.

@patrickklepek As a kid who poured 800 hours into Fossil Fighers: Champions for the Nintendo DS, whose gameplay loop is monotonous to say the least? Yeah, I really feel like there is a vast disconnect between games journalists, streamers, and online personalities versus the average consumer.

Nintendo please let me just buy Kirby 64 switch port individually instead of wanting to pay $50 for subscription plan for an online service that isn't that great and one I wouldn't use 99% of the time
