Why do so many @NintendoAmerica switch games make fonts impossibly tiny? This is a major accessibility issue. This time the culprit is @mytimeatportia .. I’ve heard good things about it but I’ve not done anything more than make my character and my head hurts from squinting.

@JonDArsen @gooply4 Wouldn't be such a huge burden if they hired more developers! I think the problem is, Pokémon is literally the biggest IP in the world. If you're Nintendo, why would you give Game Freak more money when you know the game is gonna sell well regardless?

I beat the final boss in #TheMageseeker then my game crashed and I had to do it all over again 🙃 Beautiful game. Amazing game, but it has crashed more than 15 times during my playthrough on Nintendo Switch. Please fix @DigitalSunGames @RiotForge

@Onefeistywench imagine if I made a Mario Piranha plant head/mouth for a gecko hide. I could even make mario pipes for the gecko to go in and out of. I wonder if I did, if I could make money doing so. I imagine maybe I would run into legal issues with Nintendo unless I did it on etsy?

@Envor16 @Mr_Bluepoint If PlayStation loses the talent that is at Bungie, might as well shut down the studio and forget live service forever and slowly but surely lose a lot of money to Xbox and Nintendo.

I've been using hori's Nintendo official game cube controller since 2001, it still works well on the other hand, my ps4's controllers had broken 3 times in 2 years even it cost around 70 bucks modern console controllers are expensive and fragile due to their complex construction

It's also sad that Nintendo only released one or two actual decent sized updates for the game before calling it quits. It makes it feel like the game was incomplete rather than a live service. It's also sad the mobile game is still getting cool stuff the console game won't get

@TheIceWelder @Cptn_Ahab_ Nintendo’s problem is that they want to make everything from hardware, software to even the formats of how games are distributed proprietary so they can (theoretically, piracy and cracking exists) control all means of distribution

What if you: Just finished wave 3 of a Salmon Run shift But Nintendo said: A communication error has occurred.

@NordApollo @OGRolandRat What would you say to the idea that the overly cartoonish and childish aesthetics of Nintendo is lending to the extended adolescence of males issue we see today? Similar to the anime to troon pipeline.

I'd care less if Nintendo weren't ******* weirdos and allowed you to use hard drives on Switch, which would fix this entire problem, but no. Can't do that. That would make too much sense. As would a base memory of more than 32-64 GB.

My views are that Xbox is currently in an unacceptable state and not releasing enough software. PlayStation and Nintendo are doing better, by miles, because they give fans what they want. If you can't accept my opinion, maybe you're the one with the issue and not me for

@PlusMin03340269 @BeastOfTruth @210LG They further used the excuse of violence towards women in Final Fight. So when it was ported to the super Nintendo, and changed into a male character, avoiding both ‘issues’.

If you are wondering how to make the worst port of the game on the @Nintendo Switch - ask @hellogames, there is no worse game on the Nintendo Switch than No Mans Sky! Lagging, crashes every 3-5 minutes, sold for full price.

@SuperAdaptation @ovitehenry @UltimaShadowX I just think the issue is more complicated than people make it out to be, and people look for a scapegoat and pick Miyamoto because he’s famous and is a higher up at Nintendo.

@BlandrewYT Every fanbase seems to have their issues. Xbox fans don’t care for JRPG for most part. PS fans don’t care for anything besides AAA exclusives for most part. Nintendo fans still let Nintendo play them like fools, for most part. Being serious now, where’s the PS crowd asking for…

@KeyToAeris @MarioneteGaming i think the problem is just Nintendo wanting to at this point i think Nintendo is just waiting for 10 years to make a next gen switch which they shouldnt do they should do that next year since next year is 7 years of the switch
