@TheQuippings @ChikoritaCheez Yeah I almost mentioned that although it wasn't just a marketing issue, the new opportunities Nintendo gave the series were pretty **** (obviously I'm talking about zip-lash)

@gurnaik Seriously, cannot believe such unusable garbage makes it into production. It's not a couple of bugs the whole thing is just horrific & broken. I literally got a single Windows install in my house for 1 piece of software I use. Yet getting hell with M$ on a Nintendo device.

@Scorpion1000335 @joelturnerolco1 You still haven't seen the service. Just be realistic maybe monthly more expensive but Yearly is Cheap $120 compared to other services. If you wanna talk about literal bad services theres Nintendo for it

A bit of a hot take, but the Video Game Crash of 1983-84 wasn’t as bad as people say it was. I certainly don’t think Nintendo “saved” the gaming industry because it never died to begin with.

@chuggaaconroy Did you not request an archive of all your Miiverse posts? Nintendo was sending them before the service shutdown

@Dobby_SSB IPv4 is really expensive, due to its lack of address space. Limited resources result in high prices. Nintendo has to fix this, urgently.

(@Kyojuro_Smash) reported
@RedEXzss @JabBackAir I think the reason why we have no support is because firstly Nintendo has advertised smash as being like a party game. And also the even bigger problem is many ppl in the smash scene treating it merely as a party game, that’s not gonna attract any rich ppl like csgo does lmao

despair...goodbye dragalia
(@_Vyndahlia_) reported
Had a dream that Nintendo announced dragalia lost would end service on the 23rd of December, the day before my birthday. And I cried. Granted irl that would be...a longer time then we likely have 😔 pls not the 23rd tho, mercy.

Kutdown on Gaming

@kidsmoove @PlayStation It doesn’t matter if Sony has them or not, Microsoft/Xbox has a issue with being CONSISTENT! they don’t output exclusives on a CONSISTENT pace like Nintendo & sony!

(@Manic_Socratic) reported
Knowing of Sears, Toys R Us, JC Penney, Service Merchandise, and Montgomery Wards are crucial pieces of the puzzle for how video games evolved. Nintendo had to work against a lot of hostility to bring the NES to market in the USA, thanks to the crash fostered by Atari.

@Oti09280470 (2) So people are being disingenuous to say PS Plus or Nintendo Online has surpassed GP, since they are not the same type of service, they're equiv is XBL GWG. PS Now had been around much longer than GP, but only managed 3.5M subs, which is why Sony is rebranding services.

@GameSpot I'm not sure why most people are trying to compare the two. Might as well throw Nintendo's sub service in there with Stadia and whatever Nvidia has, too.

I read that if you are buying a fake Pokémon game, you may have problems trading or transferring Pokémon to newer Nintendo consoles so I would be careful about that.

@PurpleInsomnia_ Yeah it’s rare but majora is actually great because it was rushed. Aonuma and Nintendo didn’t have the time to soften up darker tones or double check themselves which is why the 3ds remake makes changes to “fix” the game a lot of fans dislike as a result.

The new PS Plus fees more like a Nintendo Switch Online competitor than a Game Pass competitor. Switch Online feels like a stronger service right now, but hopefully PlayStation proves me wrong.

@MichaelLNeale Hard to say cuz their service games have been god awful, but like on Nintendo Switch they’ve been on an absolute role despite the fact it’s likely their smaller studios making Triangle Strategy and Diofield Chronicles.

@bryanswood @WorldsXbox Guess what, they don‘t have to be but they got more studios than Sony and Nintendo and they should have at least one game for every season if they want to compete, that‘s why Phil already adressed this issue. They can‘t just wait for the end of the year always while the

Y'know I like the Nintendo Switch pro controller fine, but a problem I've been having now recently, ESPECIALLY, after having tried other game controller system is that the Switch pro is so uncomfortable The grips feel greasy after too much use, it's also very weird to hold

@pocketsizedhero @sweetgberry It’s sucks cause we see Nintendo through the friendly filter of their games, but then when they make business decisions purely for money rather than us the consumer it’s heartbreaking 😢 I feel like they have such a disconnect and they RARELY throw us a bone.
