    @Pirat_Nation Nintendo has actual QC and their consoles doesn’t come broken out of the box.

    @Texalogic @MightyKeef The problem is you still need the Playstation connected (& I think on or running?) & you need a GOOD internet connection or it sucks ***. Also the difference between Sony & Nintendo is the Switch IS the console itself. You can't just buy a Portal without a PS5, like a Wii U.

    @AnAverageGamerX I don’t think he’s a Nintendo glazer like so many people act like he is but I kinda wish he would leave the haters alone, I think that’s his issue. He’s brining a lot of attention to a controversial topic. But I do hope those numbers check out so he isn’t hammered anymore.

    @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

    @GTBreezy_ @Imladris1893 @PostUp_SOG Okay so what you're saying is it's Xbox doing this to get everyone over to gamepass to then raise the price?? Is that why Nintendo is doing $80 games as well?? The reaching to hate on gamepass is getting old. It's a good service.

    @FortniteStatus bought a Nintendo Switch 2 and the game has excessive random rubberband lag. Checked on my laptop and switch 1 and the issue doesn’t happen on either of those devices. Any help?

    @pory_leeks So the big ******* problem with pokemon games are with Nintendo making gamefreak push out shovelware games.

    @TheHylian64 I really do hope they fix this with an update. I'm not optimistic because it's Nintendo, but hey, we finally got a favorites feature on Echoes of Wisdom after they pushed back against all the menu complaints for so long. So I guess it's not impossible :3

    As someone that owns multiple enthusiast level PCs, you can't overcome the hardware gap in a compact system. My issue is that Nintendo didn't make up for it anywhere else. They didn't integrate an onboard SD card for more storage on top of the slot. Increased prices though.

    @dgxchvz @yggdrasilsaltar ...how can Mario steal from Crash if Crash isn't the first series to do a thing? Good job trying to skirt you original point --- Mini-turbos come from the original Mario Kart. Diddy Kong Racing is from a sub-series Mario. F-Zero (a Nintendo game) did anti-grav before Crash.

    If anything any hopes of me competing with online randoms are thrown out the window if this is the case. And yes...this is a skill issue 100%. Just wish Nintendo didn't decide to make their cpu's level up just in time for me to get back into the game.

    @ActualAero You are assuming GF is the issue here… Nintendo is the one not letting them finish the game to match the release schedule so they can sell merch

  • CosmicApocalyps
    Izanagi (@CosmicApocalyps) reported

    @CentroLeaks Wait, so Gamefreak makes an Xbox Exclusive game that far surpasses anything visually that pokemon has going for it but Scar and Vio looks like **** and Legends Z-A looks visually lazy? So is Nintendo or the pokemon company the problem??? Or is this a whole other department in GF?

    wait I just realized this means Nintendo *lied* in their compatibility data. Pikmin 3 was not in any of the lists of problematic games, meaning Nintendo was insinuating the game worked perfectly. Yet here the game is completely not working.

    There are only a few things I agree with Nintendo on but most of everything they have done...I do not support. All I can be thankful for is that they made online subscriptions cheaper than Xbox and even PlayStation. At least more affordable. I don't like that they made their online service a subscription based thing just to follow along with PlayStation and Xbox but I am happy that they are cheaper for me to afford.
