    @PiperistheNewbl It's not a waste. What he's doing is a public service and really Nintendo should do this themselves.

    @8BitDo heads up, Nintendo updated the Switch 1 again and the "USB Wireless Adapter 2" is not working... Again. The system recognizes a controller but the controller won't function. (Buttons and directionals do not register). And I just updated to the latest firmware

    @Xbox_Series_XS Nintendo is terrified of all these handheld PC that can easily emulate their hardware. Maybe they wouldn't have that problem if they made real hardware

    @NintendoAmerica @NintendoCanada Is it normal for a Switch 2 to constantly have ' Software Was Closed Because An Error Occurred ' when loading games even after rebooting and redownloading the games?

    @unleash_yt At that point I think it’s just an issue with Nintendo and not the game itself btw

    @RealLifeFakeWiz If yall can skip fomo these games will be $20 in a year. But Nintendo? Yeah Mario karts gonna be $80 come 2030. Nintendo is the problem here and any other answer is wrong.

    It is, you’re giving me an argument with no way to prove it. You just saying it doesn’t mean it’s true. I can’t find a single example that proves Sony and Xbox don’t do the same thing. Also I would argue even if it was a problem with only Nintendo, which it’s not, they just filled over 3 million console preorders on day 1. The most video game consoles sold on day 1 of all time. Thats the opposite of scarcity. Also they sold twice as many console as the ps5. Opposite of scarcity. I’m talking about consoles only right now.

    @Allkiller87 @CJsDiarry @Dexerto So am I. Mario Kart World is so fun. This guy will just stay bored, it’s a personal problem at this point. He and all of the other haters protests on Switch 2 and Nintendo have failed, as reports are saying that 3 million Switch 2s were moved to consumers hands on launch day

    I have much less of an issue with a game like this being $80 than a Nintendo game that could have been made two gens ago and that has a much smaller team and dev cycle. It's just where the industry is going.

    @SW1TCHBLXDE ok so you would need an update and internet to update so you would not be able to with a fresh system or a system you had to restore and a fresh cart. this would be an issue if/when nintendo offlines the servers/shop. both are pretty common scenarios

    @KyleJamesOlson @FerrisWheelPro It’s all opinion based at this point. The corporations have a hand in it all. Microsoft, Sony, Nintendo, Nvidia, Ubisoft etc. The only thing left to do is wait for the gaming crash. Until then, make your own joy where you can find it

    @ElBichoteR7 @martttoo @NotiPlay_ No, it's not true that nobody buys Xbox. Xbox Series X|S has sold about 32 million units globally by early 2025, with 11.4 million in 2024 alone, up from 9.8 million in 2023. However, sales lag behind PlayStation (74 million) and Nintendo (128 million), and 2024 saw lows, like under 3 million units in the US and Europe. Microsoft's strategy of releasing games on PlayStation may reduce Xbox's exclusivity appeal, impacting sales perceptions. Still, Game Pass has 31 million subscribers, showing strength in services.

    @Spectre799games This is not a "byproduct of Nintendo" I noticed the issue with a lot of you ****** here online is that you run with your personal opinions and run that as if it's facts
