@Nasty_Nate_666 @IGN I suspect it's because that PC, Playstation, and Xbox are more powerful and thus can support more stuff, while Nintendo tends to lag behind the others in terms of processing power and graphics.

@NintendoAmerica I don’t know how you guys think anything besides a substantial update is gonna get a positive response. That being said, I don’t hate the game half as much as most of the ppl on here, but you’re just asking for trouble with this.

Japanese companies do all sorts of weird and incompetent stuff and I 100% believe it is because Japanese corporate culture sucks. Nintendo being run by old Japanese made it lag horribly behind in online gaming in a truly bizarre way. They even resisted having Nintendo accounts

@dangeredwolf i've had an xs for quite awhile now and it's worked quite well, i think the only problem i've had is that i jailbraked it a really long time ago and never got rid of the jailbrake files (or whatever) so now i can't use the nintendo switch app

@Twiddiots_today At Nintendo's issues just come from weird or decisions, at least they have good games, good work environments, and don't have microtransactions and loot boxes on fully priced games, also ntm unless it's a port they don't do copy and paste like ea does with all their sports games.

@Oldmanwillow11 Fallen order and titanfall 2 are some of my favorite games but they don’t put a dent in the top 10 Nintendo has released past 10 years let alone those far and it’s honestly disrespectful IMO to compare them to titanfall 2 and fallen order which both have major problems compared

I just realized, some of you are responding because the word "issue" is ambiguous. I didn't mean I had an issue with Falco bringing up Einstein, I meant I had the *issue of Nintendo Power* that this letter appeared in. :V

@AnimalRoyale I’m on Nintendo Switch and it keeps saying “failed to join online session” when I try to invite or join an invite, is there a fix for this?

@TheNCSmaster Is because of this game that I want Nintendo to start giving full sentences for Mario and Luigi in their games, I don't know what is the problem that Nintendo have with voice acting, their games barely have any voice acting, is not 2002 anymore

@immagonnaget2 @NintendoAmerica For an Indie Game the graphics are fine and perfect but this is Pokemon, the franchise that literally was made to print money. And it doesnt even manage to look half as good as breath of the wild did. At least they fixed the lagging pokemon of the first trailer

(@_leastweasel) reported
@godlevelgamer @kitschcollie the joysticks on nintendo switch controllers break really easily, so sometimes you'll be playing a video game and the character will move on its own. joy-con drift is such a widespread issue that nintendo got sued and starting offering to fix them for free (ive sent in 3)

Really wish Nintendo would fix online for Super Smash. I just wanna fight someone online without it skipping and costing me the games.

@Matty_K64 Nintendo’s always crying about piracy and emulation bad, but they do nothing to prevent it from spreading. Try as they might to take down ROM websites and emulators, new ones will always pop up days later. There’s also the issue of people overselling old games.

I’m gonna tear it apart and fix it out of spite. That wii will keep on working. I don’t care how exhausted it is. I’m gonna bring it back to life and play it every single day so it can never get any rest. Nintendo will feel my wrath.

@AndrewHG504 The main issues with Nintendo start with the knowledge of them being Japanese. They have different IP laws and they have a different mindset to protect their IP. People think this means Nintendo hates its fans, but one thing is being protective and another to hate its fans

@NintendoAmerica Personally, I didn’t have trouble with it. I was going to finish on the Wii but when I started, an HD release was revealed and thank Nintendo for making it optional. For an ill person such as me, I won’t have to feel more pain while playing. Currently, it’s my #1 game

@SPACENOY Oh, I know what you meant. I’m saying that Nintendo does worse than shut down a game’s online service after 2 years.

@nintendofirst @Twiddiots_today Oh yea gameplay wise definitely, Nintendo usually hits on the gameplay on their first round, but in the second they fix all the mistakes that were usually the result of experimentation, or age, and sshd is the perfect example of that.

@Tsukomasi @Hideki_Naganuma *I deleted my previous tweet because I noticed my error. I'd say the fault is still on Nintendo's side since 'molesteren' can mean 'molesting' in English sometimes and there are much better alternatives that aren't as heavy-handed, such as 'vechten' which just means 'to fight'.

@LinkMountaineer @NintendoAmerica You can’t fix bad art direction in 5 months. Nice try. The kinds of things that don’t look good would take a lot more than some simple tweaks.

@claripossum @YT_Emv2005V @NintendoAmerica If nintendo released mass updates and finished the game people would finish it in less than a week and cry for more content again. People dont research the game before they get it so they know exactly what they're getting into? Sounds like a them problem

@doug_gunther @Pokemon That’s true but it was on the 3DS. Nintendo will never have a game with a full Dex again even though it was proven through leaks they reused character models for SWSH. They create the problem and sell the solution Via Home and DLC which should have been in the game.
