@JayLegend87th Hold on. Do not claim I generalized all software from Nintendo under the umbrella of having problems. I never said that. I said they have had these issues due to the age of the console and it holding back nintendo. These true and are detriments but a title like zelda drives sales

@JayLegend87th They are detriments but they have a large install base. I dont understand your confusion. Nintendo is the pokemon machine. People are going to buy pokemon. The point I made is that these issues are getting more common. Perception has changed and they aren't driving sales

@DCUO Fix the lag on Nintendo switch, it ain't even worth doing the blackest night raid on there. Cause the cannisters take too long to appear in the battery cause of lag. Plus enemies don't appear

@Ruleof2Review I don't think any modern system can really show age anymore. They all generally look "good" so it's more about the games available and Nintendo has no issue in that department. Atleast that's how I see it

@BrianNiemeier Heh, didn't mean to go on a rant. But MLP, Nintendo, and others have had issues, too. I'm just more familiar with Warhammer's.

@stopskeletons I could swear this was obvious by the time Nintendo literally offered to fix them for free, I believe.

for some reason part of me feels like the Switch vs Steam Deck arguments feel like it's supposed to guilt trip people who already bought one of the two no i don't regret biying my switch, in spite of its problems i still think it's overall good but also nintendo's kinda dumb

@GandalfGaming__ So extra buttons which means more usage i have not had battery issues that have been recorded on social media (mine last way longer than 2-4 hours of non-stop play) But yes, with the price of this and LESS battery come on. You aren't Nintendo, stop ripping us off

@GTRForums @videotech_ Although I get what you're saying they were using footage from a unreleased leaked game that they don't own or have any part of That's like if FIFA put Mario in their game without Nintendo's permission It would most likely cause a legal issue

@US_Stormwatch @JWalkerII I had a paper route when I was in the fifth grade because unlike most of my friends my parents would not buy me a Nintendo I had to buy my own so I delivered papers when it was -50 so I think I’ll be fine a lot of other people are in big trouble though.

I think the only issue about people who haven't bought a Nintendo Switch now, is that any moment Nintendo could announce the next hardware after you spent money on the current Switch.

You either die playing online Smash with no lag, or live long enough to see yourself get IP banned by Nintendo.

@PlayerEssence @OrdinaryGamers 3/3 OJ Nintendo games like Zelda, Mario, or Pokemon series should never suffer from performance issues as they do now. Currently its a disgusting display when you consider the level of polish older Nintendo games have had. Its also absurd and disappointing to resort to emulation.

But some 𝙥𝙖𝙨𝙨𝙞𝙤𝙣𝙖𝙩𝙚 parents don't understand that we're *not* Nintendo customer service and get a little heated for not allowing *all* their kids to share a single downloaded game. 🧵2/

@TonyHug66420818 //Heck I have every single same that was available. All the original ps1 games, ps2, gameboy advance, Nintendo DS, and PS4. Before the pandemic I was a fanatic of Crash, but at some point during the pandemic I lost interest. But I decided to give it another go for old time sake.

@teh_gai @Sparg0ssb Just don’t be connected longer than 20-25minutes at a time, and he’s never had a problem. He’s really only connected when trading Pokémon. It’s basically spoofing Nintendo’s servers or whatever lol Modding your own switch can be dangerous yes, but that option is still there.

now nintendo's business, NSO in its entirety, and the care they give to some of their biggest names like pokemon, I got some issues there but the hardware doesn't make me feel particularly bad. It's enough to work anything I need it to
