  @JackaryDraws I honestly only play Arknights nowadays because I'm afraid of dumping time into another gacha after Nintendo killed Dragalia Lost. I'll stick with full sized non live service games unless it's PSO2 and FFXIV

  @PS_Vortex I can agree with you on the Xbox stuff but, that Nintendo slander nah. Nintendo makes great games, no standards ? Nope, I never have bought a broken Nintendo game. Quality control is huge. You don't have to like their games but to say they got no standards is way off.

  @allterquestion 1.) The issue isn’t interest in console, it’s power. Games like the new Avatar for example, can’t run on Switch. Would Ubisoft want it there? Sure, Disney would too. 2.) FidelityFX helps but has limits. Plus it would actually be cheaper for Nintendo to switch chipsets in Switch.

  @Cliffo_xo @NintendoAmerica Not every game needs to be competitive free to play games as a service

  @NintendoAmerica Fix the UNO game please. Give us the option to reset if a player gets stuck and can’t make a move unless they exit the game. That messes things up for everyone else. Also, give us options to jump into certain active games but not others. Please.

  @cononeilluk I got a Switch Lite just at the start of lockdown along with Animal Crossing (which isn't a FPS), but the battery life is decent, it can use WiFi no problem, and there are tons of games for it PLUS you can get SNES, N64, and Classic Nintendo games to play online.

  Very disappointed with @NintendoAmerica customer service! Sent in our Switch and 2 games for repair under warranty and they did not send our games back and are now saying they never received them when they were attached to the console! 😡 Terrible customer service!

  hoyoverse has had its problems in the past but they didn’t swoop so low as to blatantly rip off and plagiarize assets from other companies. the closest thing they’ve done is take inspiration. if they did steal, nintendo def would’ve already been on their asses from the start

  @NintendoAmerica your wifi login process on the switch is complete garbage and prevents me from connecting way too often at hotels. Be better.

  @PlayerEssence @KryZenGraphics @Surreal_Boogies But maybe splatoon 2 had issues so it made more sense to do a sequel. Who knows. Just think its kinda unusual move from Nintendo thats all.

  @LightningTheWo2 @nintendo_boy123 @KJR_Whatever What do you mean by "admit" not even Nintendo fans are deluded enough to see the issue that the 2nd biggest video game franchise of all time has a movie coming out in less than a year and Nintendo isn't promoting it at all

  @EggGuyTweet @Bain8renn @NintendoAmerica Yes, it’s a big issue in fact that so many were abused because of that fact

  @Emersom_Biggins @AndreaPichinini @VGC_News Ok you are right, but I feel like Nintendo is really the only one that “tries” to do new things, Xbox and Sony do kinda have a issue though now that I think about it.

  @WhirlingToon @dustin0430 @NintendoAmerica My question is this: if they went the traditional route, why would that be ok then? Generally by mid-game you can beat pretty much any of the 3-4 remaining gyms regardless. So it’s the same thing except we can do those ~4 in any order. I don’t see the issue. It’s win/win

  @NintendoAmerica Ooooh, I actually like this a lot, a big problem with pokémon centers for me is the fact that it broke up the pace of the game by forcing you to go indoors. So the fact that they're all outdoorsy like this is honestly a really cool change that I like!

  @charlieINTEL What we’ve said from Day 1 about Crash Bandicoot and Spyro IPS and yet it baffles me why it’s so hard to even believe. Do you really think they would sell when on one platform when their actual target audience is across PlayStation, Nintendo and PC ? 🙄🙄

  @Melethonomia I was super wary of the Switch, but I really like it. The main problem is that major Nintendo games jumped from $40 to $60 when it came out. D: BUT there are a lot of games in their online store that don't get physical releases.
