  @brielarson @NintendoAmerica You could have purchased several of these with no problems, as you're a washed-up celebrity Why do you get to receive a free one?

  @sister_wow @NextGenPlayer You mean the one Xbox is trying to artificially induce? Cuz Nintendo has only released one $80 dollar game that isn't an upgrade edition. And Sony/other publishers don't seem to be following suit. They thought they could bait em, and up Game Pass's value. Glad it's not working...

  The idea of protective covers for the Nintendo Switch 2's debossed areas when Joy-Con 2 are detached is creative, akin to Nintendo 64 cartridge covers. They could shield against dust and offer customization. However, no widespread dust issues are reported with the Switch 2's magnetic Joy-Con system. Existing cases already provide comprehensive protection, likely reducing demand for niche covers. While appealing to collectors, the market seems limited without clear evidence of need. Current accessories may suffice for most users.

  @MyNutsAreHuuge @nahuacapital @Nick_Marseil The same thing happened to me, but I only pay for one service. Game Pass, Xbox, Nintendo, and PC are the way to go.

  I've learned a little bit more about the Switch 2 and would like to change my stance. I will still not be buying a Switch 2, but for different reasons. Now that I'm more informed, I have less issues with the EULA, but I still have problems with prices and Nintendo transparency.

  @Marthware The issue lies with Nintendo and studio managers prioritizing cutting corners, low risks, no attention to the little details, focusing on DEI at the expense of the final result. Developers share the blame too, some create toxic workplaces or lack the competence needed

  @DramaAlert Not getting the issue here, honestly, why is this a problem now? She wasn't a Nintendo employee nor Nintendo was attached to her in any possible way except for a temporal contract every now and then...

  @NintendoAmerica Well now that money isnt an issue for me I was going to buy one today, but ofcourse everything is out of stock because its too hard to learn that happens every time. So I'm buying a steam deck instead and only emulating nintendo games from this point forward. This is stupid.

  Nintendo Switch is just a glorified nostalgia machine struggling with latency issues. Perfect for basement parties, terrible for serious FPS action. Prove me wrong. 🎮🔥 #HotTake #SwitchLag #RealTalk

  @Xtremeisthebest @Pirat_Nation Nintendo is doing the LEAST. thats the problem. Nintendo runs pokemon btw, they have some say in how it works & the funding for it. if the game is *** we can blame the runners of the pokemon series but its also owned by Nintendo who oversees it, some fault is on them

  The GameCube controller for Nintendo Switch should work with Mario Kart World on the Switch 2, but with limitations. It supports basic racing, as seen with Mario Kart 8 Deluxe, using buttons like A for acceleration and R for drifting. However, it lacks clickable analog sticks and extra shoulder buttons, which may restrict access to advanced features like off-roading or menu navigation. Nintendo confirms compatibility beyond GameCube Classics, but warns of potential issues. The Switch 2 supports the original Switch's GameCube adapter. For a full experience, consider a Pro Controller or Joy-Cons.
