@GamewithDave Despite playing since the PS1...18. My PS1 & all other controllers still work perfectly, but the Switch controllers are so bad with the drift. Literally the only controller I've ever had issues with and it's not even my fault. Nintendo seriously messed up with these controllers.

@theswitchbit And it doesn't make sense, to me. Nintendo has a swath of first party games that don't have 2P functionality. Add ONE new 1P-only game a month while working out licensing & 2P online for the rest & the service wouldn't feel so... janky.

@sami_odyssey Yeah. Most people are saying “recession” for the Xbox drop. If PlayStation and Nintendo aren’t suffering as well, it’s an Xbox problem and not an economy problem.

Alright controllers have been pissing me off... I swear I never had to replace any Nintendo controllers (expect the ones broken out of rage) or Sega controllers... but @Xbox annually...guess in learning mouse and key now

@officialdaikon Yes. I have been a Nintendo guy my entire life, and bought a Logitech controller to use on my PC a few years ago. Every time, every time, I mix up the face buttons. Playstation I don't have this problem since they use different symbols.

@SuperPodSaga in Mike Tyson's Punch Out! for the NES, if you put in the code 800 422 2602, you'll hear a busy signal, the number is the old Nintendo Customer Service phone number.

@CheapAzzGamer @xboxbetter2023 @TWTHEREDDRAGON They're all guilty of it m8, Sony, Microsoft, Nintendo, EA. This has been an issue for over a decade. It's the United States fake monopoly laws at play here.

@FireEmblemJP Can you guys fix Fire Emblem Engage english dialogue? Like holy crap, every time I played the goddamn game, the way they talk make me depressed every time. Why did you allow Nintendo of America butcher your game like this? It awful.

@dinodphantom37 It should get more content. Since it's a boring broken mess that needs some more single player content to where some casual gamers like myself can have fun with it. Since again.... Nintendo refuses to just simply fix the online multiplayer to where it's not laggy or glitchy

When you are in ninjala match, anything can happend, but when players has a game crash or your network disconnects, some people are thinking that they rage quited. But no. There's still some issues on the nintendo switch and internet stuff.

@DMC_Ryan If he couldn’t fix this with all of the resources at Micrsoft’s disposal in 10 years, he most likely can’t do it going forward. Nintendo’s turnaround was much quicker. Sunset Overdrive and Forza - the only shining stars were Mattrick’s initiatives. Unfair to blame him for this.

@inFinit36525299 @DMC_Ryan I don't consider Rare building Sea of thieves a fix, considering what they were before with Nintendo, heck even early 360. Coalition did decent and solid work, sure. 343i , lmao... Lionhead ?😰 where's the new Fable at ?...oh with the racing Team ! That's normal

well, that stream didn't go well. The game kept crashing, I couldn't join the match, my sanity was draining, and even though I couldn't tell Multi-Quene was working or not, I logged out and in to try and fix it, and they called me a Deserter! Thanks Hi-Rez and Nintendo!

@sonic_hedgehog I've tried multiple times to subscribe to the newsletter for Nintendo Switch yet I don't receive an email for it despite the newsletter saying it will send an email to confirm it's me. Is this an error @KatieChrz?

Also, I should defend Nintendo in point #1, "Praises all exclusives regardless of performance." The Switch exclusives are fantastic, and yes, many of them have performance issues, but that doesn't make their exclusives bad. It's the hardware's fault. The Switch is a fun portable

@Cheezy_Neko @GoNintendoTweet Nintendo not the problem... it's the International Pokémon Company Pokémon Cycle. I wish Nintendo would just buy Gamefreak out already so they can spread their wings. They got a whole office in Nintendo Kyoto building.

If Nintendo doesn’t fix Splatoon 3, I’m deadass never buying anything from them again. There’s no point in a $60 game that doesn’t work. I got my new switch for this ******* game. 🖕🏼

@AwesomeRArtz90 @Mondblut1984 Nintendo Switch isn't region lock. Also, there a chance modder will try to fix the dialogue. Though, you will need to mod your Switch in order to do so.

@Yggdrasiel_ No they didn't get the cards. They have been having issues with extras for a while and it might be on Nintendo as well I didn't even know it came with the game so I'm not too upset

@TheTrollingQ @8BitDo They seriously are. I’ve picked up a bunch of them for Switch and none of them have given me any issues, ever. Sad that Nintendo brand controllers can practically fail outta the box but @8BitDo came along and changed the game lol.

@Mia_Marimba The issue right now I think is that not many people even like playing in the meta right now, and that's why people get hated for it. Doesn't help that Nintendo didn't do anything to make Crab/Splash worse despite Splash being played to absolute death.

An open note to game devs. I see alot of devs these days complain that they don't know why gamers are panning their games so hard. I'm going to clear this up as well as I can. So I grew up in the post game crash in the 80s watching Nintendo revive the industry to the
