@finalfantasyvii Out of nowhere, on Nintendo Switch, Crisis Core closes on startup with an error simply saying "Software was closed because an error has occurred". Any ideas?

@PimpMasterYoda1 Yeah. PS5 is a problem. Microsoft and Nintendo both send us more than we can sell to the store I work for and yet Sony has nothing there. It's gotten to the point where people don't want to even try to get one anymore because they don't have a spare $1000 to please scalpers.

It's so weird that the Nintendo Switch is 5 years old and still often feels weirdly unfinished as a console. Basic apps available on previous consoles still missing, a core controller issue never fixed, an online service still feeling bare bones.

My consoles' lifespan: Nintendo Switch: 12/25/17 - 12/21/22 Nintendo Switch OLED: 12/21/22 - now New Nintendo 3DS XL: 12/25/16 - now (no issues) Nintendo Wii: 12/25/06- now (no issues) The fact that my nearly 16 year old Wii outlasted my nearly 5 year old Switch baffles me.

We could say Nintendo were the smart ones, building N64 to launch at $200 & then hit that $149 target, but look at all the bottlenecks & hardware issues. Sony could afford to spend $500M on PSX & take big losses, while Sega was doomed as Saturn cost $300 to build.

@KiverBK I'm calling bullshit on that, Nintendo should fix their game before blaming players on their screw up. Especially examples like this which require precision and skill to pull off.

@tinkyisawinky @MagitekDad @ethangach Same chip, they just had no devices. Samsung and Apple use their own stuff for tablets. It's literally just the Nintendo at this point. Problem with the RTX M is the power draw for a portable. Like 25 W more for the same or less power. (And being discrete.)

I genuinely believe that Super Mario Sunshine is EASILY the WORST 3D Mario game. It is so unpolished and the controls are absolute garbage, even with the amazing GameCube controller. And the worst thing is that Nintendo had every opportunity to actually fix and improve upon the

@Ryusei_Fudo I know, I have it, but I'm pretty sure the issue is more with Nintendo forcing deadlines rather than gamefreak not caring...

@Bum2879 What's more, Nintendo is gonna get Call of Duty as well. They already had other Activision Blizzard games on Switch(e. g. Overwatch, Crash Bandicoot), but not CoD. I didn't see people complain about it. The only argument I saw was that the hardware is weak for the games.

@LionintheTrees Yep!! Nintendo especially seem to keep old ones locked away, (and they could make a mint just selling them digital??) but they are starting to add more to their online service. It’s sad because we lose a library of unknown gems over time.

@2_Wheeled_Wolf Yeah, I always remember Nintendo saying if people were having problems with their wii remotes to drop them on something hard. Cheap Vibration sensors are often so unreliable, this is worse than cheap...

@simonharris_mbd I got missy a new Switch game, which turned out to be a download card in a box, no bloody cartridge! I had to connect it to the internets, remember my Nintendo password, sign in, get an online update and then it took about 20 minutes to download the songs for offline use
