@FineNDanDee And there in lies the issue, because Game Freak (as seen with Beast of Reincarnation) can make graphically fine games So it's just a question as to why Pokémon isn't (or maybe can't be) as graphically fine. I'm placing my blame on Nintendo because they're stinkers like that

@Ethan_ol7830 It's just patent infringement Pocketpair recieved, no copyright infringement lawsuits were done as Nintendo only took issue with some game mechanics Pocketpair had for the game, they did not sue them over the designs of Pals

@NintendoUK Why are people bending over for a company who are openly ripping you off with inflated prices on consoles/games, you are the problem with why games are constantly going up especially when you don't technically own the game! Shame on all of you who participate

@NintendoAmerica Worst experience I have had with a console release!!! I bought the NS2 bundle. I just set it up and went to download Mario Kart World and it gives me an error code!! This is crap!! I submitted a ticket on this and I’m still waiting. Physical media is the only way to go!!

@ChickenDog64 When the OLED came out I coached at least a dozen people through recovering their AC data and it was still on the original console every time But IF NOT, Nintendo customer service can actually also recover it! Pokemon not so much, but it may be saved to console memory still

@Pirat_Nation It has nothing to do with Nintendo, Nintendo is the one that gives not any date or cost limit to the games that they know will sell well, Pokémon is one of the, the problem of Pokemon is that it is a franchise not only of videogames, so a new game has to come out regularly to+

@RileyEatsGood The problem is when people who like Nintendo, but honestly critique the company like me get called out on this kind of **** Hard-core fan boys don’t like it when anybody say anything negative about their favorite plastic box

@Kneon Dude what ******** is the problem admitting the truth. I’d buy it if they’d come out an said “ya know Nintendo had a great idea and we’re gonna do that cause it’s kinda cool.”

@DubsDominion @kirawontmiss Yeah I don’t have a problem it makes it look more like a Nintendo Mario game obviously. No one is buying a switch and playing Mario kart for the graphics anyway lol

@TAHK0 gotta love game freak stating in no uncertain terms that the problem has always been the pokémon company and nintendo rushing them to put a game out

@NintendoUK As a company endorsing family and group play any chance you could fix mario kart world so 2 players can have their own profiles when going online? Seems like such a ridiculous oversight forcing player 2 to have the same name as player 1 and no points for player 2 either.

@NintendoUK's customer support site is ***, it just takes you in circles without any actual way to get help for any issues.

also if you preordered or bought a Switch 2 on launch instead of waiting for a sale or Nintendo to lower the prices then you're part of the problem

@Itstommytime1 So if you think Microsoft will get in trouble if they can't bring CoD to Nintendo for technical reasons that aren't Microsoft's fault. Then you are very delusional. Also, no one knows the terms between Nintendo and Microsoft. Because they are under seal. 2/2

@Notus_49 Indeed! Tho, the mqin problem become that... Pokémon games are currently sells like AAA, at least from Nintendo perspective.

My real issue with Nintendo fanboys is that they do not seem to care about IPs like F-Zero, Star Fox or Metroid. Just either Mario, Zelda, Pokemon or Kirby. Give those IPs some love more, guys.

@NikTekOfficial Gamepass just is.. a good service. its giving you a choice, you dont have to.. where are you getting your movies? It's not just Xbox games that are $80 now.. Does nintendo offer a subscribtion service to let you play Mario Kart World?

@J_ROOST @frosty_kale @Xbox Mario wonder didn't have a due date meanwhile all Pokemon games have tight due date, that is likely what they mean. To this I also can had Nintendo delayed BoTW many times for more time to make the game Afaik no pokemon game ever been delayed, the issue is likely not Nintendo

@nintendolife The big question is why @Microsoft doesn't buy out @Nintendo? They could easily do it and solve all their gaming problems in one fell swoop.

@ActualAero I don't think that game freak are the problem it's the Pokémon company/Nintendo that are the issue

Something has been bothering me ever since the $80 game became a topic outside of Nintendo. Why is it such a problem when other platforms have sales? Can't we just wait for a sale and get it for dirt cheap? Am I missing something here?

This is sad to hear. But understandable given Nintendo's propensity to hold on to their merchandise with an iron grip. They've already stated that hardware mods gives them the right to brick your console, not they also made the Switch 2 harder to actually permit consumers the right to repair. I'm still skeptical that the Joy Cons will drift. That was such a big issue that Nintendo would be stupid to not have redesigned the structure of the control sticks.

@moinoich @NintyPrime Should be fine then, sounds like there's some manufacturing issues with moulds creating air bubbles in the back case similar to the oled. It might warp up or down when it gets warm so might be worth asking Nintendo their policy on it. Keep an eye on it!

@pory_leeks There is clearly a problem and It is Nintendo pushing games so the products Who make more money can leech of the new content.
