@rodimus_j @NintendoAmerica That’s the main problem right there. Now there’s also the hope they mass produce the hell out of the Special Edition. They re-released the Pyra and Mythra Figures like 5/6 different times due to demand so theres hop

@AidenRS139 If the Amazing Mirror were to be modified to reduce the lag it had when doing multiplayer, I'd be SOLD. Barring online lag... because Nintendo.

@LubbaSMG2 @Nedduardo @ItsNeon2401 features that werent put in the game. Nintendo switch sports is NOT a broken game but it IS unfinished. For crying out loud the game is packed in with a accessory YOU CANT USE UNTIL A UPDATE WAY LATER ON. That is straight up not fully done thus the term unfinished is valid (2/2)

I wanna find someone who repairs old Nintendo consoles I had managed to clean up my old GBA and it was functioning again, but now apparently it's back to not working properly And my old Nintendo DS has the battery completely dead now, and the screen doesn't open properly

@ScrakenVG @Avovet3D No problem! Hey Pikmin also wasn’t developed internally at Nintendo either which is both reassuring, because I’ve heard HP isn’t very good, but also frustrating because P4 was “almost done” forever ago - where is it?? 😭😭 (I assume it went through a massive redesign but.. weh!)

Hot take? I actually dont hate those new Miis in Nintendo Switch Sports. Ill admit theyre different, but i like how they look. Will they replace old Miis entirely? Absolutely not, but i wouldnt have a problem with it if they were the new Nintendo Sports "inhabitants" indefinitely

For all the stuff Nintendo does that pisses me off, at least my Switch isn't an expensive brick if there's a power outage or something wrong with the NSO servers. #NintendoSwitch

@JayRembert2 @ModernVintageG Sony and Nintendo don't have DRM issues(GT7 not included) I have my switch and PS5 with me when I am gone for work, sometimes up to 2 months no internet on them and they work.

@Sasori_113 Nothing but problems from the PowerA controllers for the Switch we have gone though several of them. I bought the Switch pro controller & haven't had an issue since The only thing I wish Nintendo would do is add a customizable dead zone like Steam has That fixed alot of my drifts

@jyraya94 @Cloaked_Onyx @Xbox Any other service you can play your digital games offline. Steam, Epic, GoG, PS, Nintendo. God defending PS here. Xbox should be able to do it to. But, they want to track your movements 24/7 and what you always online... Xbox is a joke.

@THEREALRTU Online DRM is why I'm not rushing out to buy a Xbox. I had a internet outage for a week once because some ****** decided to cut the cable when digging up the back yard. Playstation, Steam, and Nintendo don't have this problem. There's no excuse.

@moonlight2002_ @GamesLiek So any game that releases is unfinished? You know this isn’t solely a Nintendo problem? Hell even popular games release DLC. Basically you are yelling at Nintendo for something that the entire industry does?! I have heard everything now.

Never had issues with cloud gaming on the trusty Nintendo 64. No sir those cartridges could survive a nuclear apocalypse. Time to fire up Madden 2002 and let John Madden take me back.

@Simply_sunky if you actually want examples of unfinished games Balan Wonderworld Crash Twinsanity Cyberpunk 2077 FNAF Security Breach Pac-Man (Atari 2600) No Man's Sky Just cause the Nintendo showcase didn't show your favorite waifu doesn't mean it's unfinished

I see this same topic come up about "unfinished" nintendo games, even if you don't like that term for it, y'all know EXACTLY wtf they mean when they say that. They don't like the new "free DLC" practice, "Free DLC" itself isn't the issue it's how they do it that pisses fans off

@Razrael_ @So_Ethereal That’s what I had meant, they don’t always make good games. Neither does Nintendo. Neither does any studio. Every studio has its issues.

@RealTJackKnife @AnAngryPenguin1 Well that's an entirely separate issue, and yeah, Nintendo can be pretty bad about that.
