Name cannot be Elon Musk
(@w2heck) reported
@1amkrishnan @brayshgaming Shopto aren't offering their pre order guarantee because Nintendo has enforced a day before shipping mandate, and they recommend you pay the £6 for tracked 24 shopping if you're nervous it might be delayed. Their pre orders always come on time for me, but it is a 1-3 day service.

@CloudStrife1C @geoffkeighley Problem is, being PS5 exclusive kinda killed the hype from the majority of the fanbase on other platforms. Nintendo & PC specifically, Xbox JRPG fans are definitely a niche audience(I am one, I'd know) But the fact that even on PS4 we can't play it kills it for many PS gamers too

@tar_pit_trap Tbf back during the game crash this opinion was very valid cuz games were a fad. If Nintendo hadn't made specific design choices games might've been dead

@ilovegames2600 Tbh I think the bigger problem is all the new games that come out are repetitive and haven’t really grabbed my attention. Nintendo might take longer for titles to come out but I’m much more invested in their exclusives because they are always polished. Zelda is my prime example.

@tar_pit_trap In her defense, she was kind of right saying this in 1982. The industry did totally crash a few years after this because of oversaturated products and dwindling consumer interest. Nintendo just happened to save it by changing it.

@Nick05_Faito24 Stopping repairs when they decide that you have been rude does open up the opportunity for Nintendo to just do a crappy job at repairs and customer service, wait for people to get frustrated and rude as they inevitably will eventually, then say "oops, you were rude, no repair"

@NintenZ This right here is a symptom of a much bigger issue and it needs to be addressed immediately. Nintendo's fans need to start looking out at their bubble and how the rest of the world of use them

@12fen12fen @AaranTheArtist @12fen12fen You are not paying attention. The regulation is 'right to "prepare" derivatives'. It's a data mining issue. Imagine if Disney "prepared" a data set for use with Machine Learning made entirely of Nintendo works for instance . That obviously wouldn't be fair use.

@GottaLaff @briantylercohen Someone pointed out that NIntendo is notoriously protective of its IP and trademarks (and doesn't face the embarrassment issue of $0 insulin like Lilly might), so that could be another one

@Q_Review @SuperPaulineGay Nah the PS4 did feel a bit old in many ways and the PS5 fixed the core issues such as the drive speeds, true 4K games and cooling They didn’t wait for the hardware to be absolutely limited and start losing game support Now Nintendo is doing that with the Switch

@NintendoAmerica Improve your hardware so this game doesn’t have frame rate issues.

@LinusTech Haven't used GoG, but I mostly use Steam as that's the best launcher I've tried. EGS is missing tons of features, both of EA's attempts barely function, and I've had issues with the Xbox app before. PSN is trash and I've never used a Nintendo system online, GS isn't a thing here

@NintendoAmerica / @SplatoonNA really needs to fix this! If I had known that Pro was where you play as a solo I would have wasted a lot less time...and probably racked up a lot less defeats for my side...if Grass looses it's cause the game was rigged! #Splatoon3 #Splatfest

@VictoriamRecord @NintendoAmerica You do realise that the DMCA's are for people who are literally pirating the game. The performance issues are mostly because they're playing it on an Emulator. Nothing to do with blocking people for calling out GameFreak.

I really need to solve my wi-fi problem before Pokemon SV drops. I tried a mobile hotspot but it is proving to not be reliable. Curse you Nintendo Switch and curse you ceramic tiles!

@ProChara Nintendo competitive seems to have this problem. Ive been on a few mario kart teams and they were all cursing at me for being mute.

@Sotoh_ Oh. No idea. Feel like that’s more a Nintendo server issue than the shop itself.

@GameSpot From the looks of it, there's only 1 Xbox owned nomination. The rest is dominated by Sony and Nintendo. Xbox's approach of throwing money at the problem doesn't seem to be working out for them.

@vgmobster I’m not sure but maybe it’s stock issues? I think Sony and Microsoft releases more consoles than usual this past month because of Call of Duty. Q4 is a major month for all companies and Nintendo will probably have a strong November with Pokémon.

@rockisinfinite There’s just no big PlayStation or Nintendo multiplayer game that scratches that itch is the problem God of war and Mario are great, but they’re a one and done game Where as Halo, Gears of War etc I can pick up, sink 2-5 hours in and then rinse and repeat the next day
