@LeonMassive Nintendo is a weird "We'll do it ourselves" company "Put your music on spotify?" "No lets make our own music service" "Let your game be at a tournament?" "No we'll do our own tournament" etc. etc. Im 99% sure they just...want to do everything themselves with next to no help.

New year. Same old Patrik

@snowboiiii Their upload schedule has always been weird. And Core is a rough service to sign up for. Up there with Nintendo at making it hard for their fans to enjoy their product.

@BeardedGrohs95 @AceTrainerLiam Just wait till Gen 10 if you don’t want a new Gen this early. Problem solved! You must not play Nintendo games. A quick google search would show the countless list of all the games pushed back from released or just upright canceled because Nintendo didn’t deem it ready.

@wiedo @InvaderTAK @Voultar I’m super sensitive to things like lag and poor frame pacing/major dips in frame rate. I think this system is the most lazy nInTeNdO has ever been.

@Alpharad Two factors influenced this decision: Sony owning EVO and Nintendo's partnership with Panda. It's less hate and more of a logistics issue. I'm sure there's some sort of exclusivity partnership with Panda, and having Smash on EVO when EVO is owned by Sony doesn't make sense.

Woney For Nothing
(@NonTrotski) reported
@OaklandKao To help make more money. But they clearly don't think that would work, and not because of the predators. It's because that's not the audience they want to court. Nintendo has no problem working with Ubisoft and whatever. As long as it's a profit deal, they're in.

(@Never_Seen_Trek) reported
@TheRedDouglas It's less a rights issue and more just a lack of will I think. Technically it doesn't need to be Nintendo, I just named them cause they published for them, but really it's Capcoms laziness and Level-5 making it up as they go along that's doing it

@en_richy That's nintendo problem and not Gamefreak. Altho I wish they could say "stfu, let us work on it a bit more" But I guess since today is when Red and Green got out in Japan, they wanted to put something new out

I was hoping they would announce the previous Pokémon games like red and blue being released on the Nintendo Switch Online Service.

@D3V1LSOUL @VGC_News If Gamepass comes to Steam / TVs people will have no reason to buy an Xbox anymore. Console sales will decline, which is worrying imo especially from an investor point of view. Microsoft already seem to be having trouble catching up with Sony & Nintendo. Something to think about.

@ross_stoddart @BlandrewYT Cyberpunk? The game that was so broken on release that it’s all anyone talked about for nearly a year after? Yeah, I’ll take most Nintendo exclusives over the game I bought on Xbox for $10 a few months after launch because Best Buy was clearing out stock.

@BeatemupsWood That’s impossible. I just got out of my DeLorean and Nintendo is going to be sold to Sony for 103 billion in 2027. Nintendo will have problems with the next switch and needs to recall all 22 million sold.

@PhantomZ_Saber Honestly, the game looks fine. The biggest problem I see coming out of this is that it's being visually held back by the Switch's inferior hardware. That's two big Nintendo published games this year that will suffer. Xenoblade 3, and now this.

@Igneety It’s sad dude. Panda announcing their partnership with Nintendo this year, and still nothing coming from it too. The company very clearly wants to stifle people playing their games competitively, and our failure to distance the community from them is a huge problem IMO.

@MyNintendoNews If it weren’t for all of the issues that have popped up both in the Smash community and EVO management in the past couple years, I’d be more specifically mad at Nintendo. And I still am a bit over this. But…I can also understand, to a point, them wanting to stay away from this.

@UltimaShadowX @Neoxon619 What's ballsy about it? These games sell well no matter the quality and Nintendo stopped caring about making good Pokemon games years ago so there's no risk with this. People will buy it at launch , ignore it's issues then come on Twitter to defend it. It's been the cycle.

(@IAmLeRuse) reported
@Martin_Kiwii @JustmeRclol @SerebiiNet What “standards” are we supposed to have for a Nintendo Switch game? Most of their major first-party titles are already lagging behind their last-Gen counterparts because the Switch hardware is lacking compared to a PS4. These still look like Pokemon games to me, and that’s fine.

(@SleepyShivers) reported
@KirbyCheatFurby Yeah, I don't like Pokemon being Nintendo's COD. S/V could be great, but it would definitely be better if GF had more time to work on it. They need a gap in releases to iron out the technical problems in modern Pokemon, and they just aren't being given the time.

@Nintendo I'm gonna fix the lighting sometime and make it even worse

BY2K @ I just want BOTW2, man...
(@TheBY2K) reported
@Neoxon619 I don't understand why one's game release should impact another's. If Nintendo wants to release BOTW2 in 2022, they'll do it unless there's a problem and they NEED to delay it.

I'm hoping Nintendo will fix the graphics though cause when looking at buildings and stuff it's pretty choppy
