@VGChartz It beat the Nintendo Switch with Pokémon in November, which was crazy considering that Pokémon is the biggest franchise of the world. It also has a chance to be the best-selling console of 2022. SONY fixed the production problems, so yeah, with SpiderMan 2 coming, it's possible.

@ArloStuff Nintendo needs to start taking tech more seriously rather than lagging a generation and a half behind with every console. Now that they've realized they can't only rely on children and the casual gaming market, they need stronger hardware to be taken seriously by older gamers.

@jpofferz_ttv @RiddlesMK I mean it seems like quite literally naming it Nintendo Switch Online implicates that they will atleast keep the Nintendo Switch name. It'll probably be the same online service on the next system. No other online service is named straight up after a sole console.

@ShadowFoxArche Nintendo games, like the stuff they put out on their respective consoles, always seem to maximize graphics to the point where I'm not questioning the visuals. Especially if it's a stylistic decision, so I dunno why he said they have the opposite issue, because they don't.

@ArloStuff idk how controversial this is but GOD the switch is boring and desperately needs a firmware update. like this **** should not be lagging on the ******* eshop and nintendo online app. and the 3ds had way more charm with little tunes for each app and themes not far into it's life

@Specter_Kuuta I wonder..... would nintendo cards still work on the 3DS? if i were to buy one. Trying to input the code isn't going to give an error will it?

@ArloStuff Nintendo should drop their hardware, just become a game studio and start a PC game launcher with a subscription service.

(@Pr0tocol_B) reported
@ArloStuff Most games they've released in the past few years have had way less content than expected cause they saw live service games were popular and decided a "release now, add content later" approach would give a similar feel, Nintendo aren't any different from other big game companies

The Squillest Ever 🐀
(@SquillCoolGuy) reported
@ArloStuff Kirby Star Allies isn’t one of the best Kirby games but also isn’t a bad game at all. While it was lacking upon release, that was mostly Nintendo’s fault for rushing it out. When looking at the finished product it’s a very solid game with awesome moments and lots of fan service

Hey y’all, did Nintendo ever do anything to address the bugs and performance issues with #PokemonScarletViolet or are they just giving up on a major release for one of their top IPs and pretending it’s acceptable it doesn’t run on the only console it’s available on, that they own

(@gamingguru456) reported
@Mesmua_ The funny thing is that Nintendo has the exact opposite issue of them probably needing to have more horsepower for their consoles so that devs can fully realize their vision, but don’t to maximize sales and cut down on dev time if I had to guess

@ArloStuff The Fact that Nintendos response to people using the 3DS to share 3D pictures of themselves was to discontinue miiverse and the ability to chat whit one another is a problem that Nintendo still needs to address.

@Shado_Chimera Im suspecting this may be some sort of bug and subject to future update/fix. Nintendo is clearly intending to match up the weapons in the same pool evenly (imo).

Playstation and Xbox have a big problem with games that are just easy Platinum trophy and achievement bait Nintendo has so many bad visual novels and jigsaw puzzle games with the word "Hentai" in it and Steam has everything wrong with it

Not getting a refund on Sports Story. Shame. But Nintendo's eshop rules are 'you can't refund a game you accidentally purchased or didn't like' it's not that I didn't like it. The game is fundamentally broken and should not been sold in the state it's in. I feel ripped off tbf.

@Shade_Aurion To some extent, I get where Nintendo is coming from. A lot of recent efforts to make modern entries of their old series have failed - Star Fox Zero being a big example, but hell before that they screwed up Metroid TWICE with Other M *AND* Federation Force. My issue is more with

@Curbyb0iGaming yeah I could see you having some problems with it but some people do still have pokemon merch. I think it depends how people draw it and if it's their own design then it's in the grey area. Thats also why we see a lot of non-nintendo pokemon stuff being sold on ETSY, amazon, ect

@ArloStuff As long as you aren’t playing a slideshow, there are worse things than frame drops. PC games have given me more performance issues than anything I’ve played on a Nintendo Console. Nintendo’s biggest problem is inflexible pricing and work flow/crunch.

@BombosMedallion @HeroOfTime125 @CartridgeGames Honestly, I wouldn’t be surprised if they wait until 2026 for Gen 10. Not only because that’s the 30th anniversary of Pokémon, but also because the performance issues of S/V got to the point where Nintendo had to issue a public statement.

@CurseOfRed @twilirealm Wouldn't we all. I thought it was inevitable, but I fear we would've heard about it by now if it was the case. I once heard there is some copyright issue with capcom (who made the oracle games) that prevent Nintendo from remaking them

Shade
(@Shade_Aurion) reported
@AlexRigsTheGame But I digress. Nintendo's major problem is milking a few franchises and ignoring the rest. If it was about money they'd still be selling the older games on the store but they let them gather dust on several generation old consoles. Inaccessibility 😔
