@NintyPrime MKW is washed out. It quite frankly looks pretty terrible in areas when the sun is out. It's like blindingly bad. Nintendo should have included sunglasses with the game, making the pitch, "You've never looked cooler playing a game", or something, to help hide the issue.

@MrFrostitute @Omnipotentgam0r @DynamoSuperX Nintendo never held any of their studios back. Mario Kart World took almost 10 years, Donkey Kong Bananza started Development right after Mario Odyssey, Wonder had no deadline. The Pokémon Company is the problem. Never Nintendo. I believe Nintendo would want Pokémon to be better

@BadIdeaXander I also have that problem, my solution is unfortunately spending double that on a pc that should hopefully outlast a couple generations of Nintendo consoles, so not great for me either but im also spending double to trade portability for more storage and better performance & steam

@FortniteStatus @FortniteStatus I'm having trouble on Nintendo switch 2, it keeps having to reestablish connection randomly, when I'm playing with someone on another console.

And yes, a friend of mine's Switch 2 had this issue. Was getting an hour in MKW. Did this, and now he's getting 2.2 hours. I dunno why we get upset about this stuff. I literally worked in repair. This is a thing. And Nintendo tells you to do it.

@Stealth40k So why does Pokemon look like that then? It's not even a Nintendo specific issue since every other 1st party game manages to take full advantage of the hardware.

Despite me rting stuff around Switch 2 and Nintendo, I watch and wait. I don't like the prices or Game Key Cards and I know other consoles have their benefits over this. However I know that those other consoles have issues too. I don't like PSSR. Game pass is kinda detrimental

@BoundaryBreak I don't think Nintendo really thought about it Knowing them they probably figured people would only use the GameCube controller to just You know Play GameCube games. Simply being able to remap it would fix the problem but I doubt this was intentional.

@TripleOSmoooth It definitely is. It was also a thing on Switch 1. This isn't a new issue for Nintendo. Their OS needs to be retrained and Switch 2 uses the same OS. It's not a big deal. lol Just do it and move on.

Pokemon Games lack TIME, this effort and skill has never been an issue look at this game. 2-4 years has never been enough for a series as big as Pokemon. Nintendo's latest games in their big series have been getting that on the LOW end.

@Lewchube @JoeMerrick not to be "one of those" but if Beast looks this good, does that mean its TPC or Nintendo that cause Pokémon game problems?

the video game industry is in trouble if Nintendo and Xbox lead the way. More expensive games, more nintendo doing things like bricking consoles, more microsoft wokeness, and more subscription based purchases which leads to the death of physical and not owning games

@LookAtMyMeat1 It's sad to see Nintendo go from great, to garbage. Even if we don't include pricing issues, the games just lost their soul, and the people behind them no longer have any passion for anything beyond money.

2013: Xbox is *************** >:( the DRM is outrageous. Xbox falls and is now no longer the same even after backtracking 2025: People are bullying Nintendo :( the hate is forced. Nintendos problems gets romanticised or even unnoticed. Smh…
