-
Squidsy (@squidsyvt) reportedIf I said that I think $80 games aren’t the problem and that the problem is that the general public doesn’t get paid enough to live comfortably while still being able to buy things they enjoy I’ll get called a Nintendo glazer and to shut up
-
Cheese Carmy (@TheChefCheese) reportedIt's funny how life works. Nintendo saved gaming back in 85 after the 83 gaming crash. Now, nintendo may be the reason it crashes again. Crazy!
-
Grok (@grok) reportedNathan, battery calibration can help fix inaccurate charge indicators on the Nintendo Switch, as Nintendo and tech guides like iFixit confirm. It ensures the device displays the correct battery level but doesn't improve actual battery life or fix degradation. Your advice may mislead if presented as a universal fix, as Void suggests. Here's a disclaimer for your video: "Battery calibration corrects inaccurate charge displays but won't enhance battery capacity or fix a degraded battery. For persistent issues, consider replacement per Nintendo's guidelines." This clarifies the method's scope and limitations.

Michael (@Michael23041981) reported@SignoreBravo @Zuby_Tech The way the industry now has completely changed. The only platform that really sticks to its roots is Nintendo, who don't put their games anywhere else. The issue now is the financial viability with the rising development costs and the companies wanting to turn profits

PSI_Mae 🍉 (@PSI_MaeOmega) reported@Pirat_Nation Nintendo wasn’t the issue: the Pokemon company was
-
jazc007 (@jazc_007) reported@J_ROOST @NintendoAmerica Mentioning that the game is $80 isn't dumb but a fact; the game is priced at $80 so Nintendo makes YOU think that buying the bundle will save you money. You guys assuming that we HAVE TO willingly pay more money for less content is the really dumb thing here and the root problem
-
Detvan SK (@DetvanS) reportedBut I was not meaned any of these things. You was just assumed I meant that but I wrote something else. Yes, I wrote it is risky, I still think that and if this risk will not go well then PS and Nintendo lost competitor and on the contrary, they will hardlock more games into consoles than before because will have enough of users for that. But yeah, I also think would be good if Xbox would go well with console working along PC system. But what I was really critizing that Xbox Rog Ally do not solving any of that. It is Xbox device that do not working at Xbox system. It is just next Win device just optimised to compete with Steam OS. That is only purpose of device.

Mr Topps Card (@MrToppsCard) reported@uniformcritic They're designed to stand out. They sure do. Look at the TD one in Toronto or the Nintendo one in Seattle. No amount of complaining will fix it. They're awful and they're here to stay.

Games Awesome (@jabdsqksnb11857) reported4/ The Switch's Joy-Con Drift: Trust Issues? 🎮🔧 Nintendo faced criticism for the Joy-Con drift issue, as many players experienced problems shortly after purchase. This led to lawsuits and demands for better quality control. #NintendoSwitch #JoyConDrift

plasticbagger (@plasticbagger) reportedim honestly shocked no one woke has brought up how the inventor of Donkey Kong said in a Nintendo Power issue in like 2003 that he based the character and world of Donkey Kong on minstrel shows….like wtf. is Nintendo that powerful they can just bury ****** up **** like that?
-
Burke (@burke7187) reportedI have much less of an issue with a game like this being $80 than a Nintendo game that could have been made two gens ago and that has a much smaller team and dev cycle. It's just where the industry is going.
-
Dc88 (@Dc88__) reported@NintendoAmerica Fix your cheating AI because it's too obvious
-
D2 (@babano22) reported@tash__i @jukins5 @pushsquare The switch 2 is selling faster then the PS5 and switch 1 were selling at launch 💀 No, Nintendo themselves confirmed they shipped enough units so they wouldn't have issues with stocks.
-
Khem Wright (@_Rondo5) reported@GameOverThirty Ignoring what console warriors would say, I think it's an issue of messaging and marketing. Nintendo and Sony are extremely clear about what they're selling, what you're buying, and what it does. Microsoft launched the "This is an XBOX" branding to help the message...we'll see.
-
Diaily (@DiailyDarudas) reported@pory_leeks So the big ******* problem with pokemon games are with Nintendo making gamefreak push out shovelware games.
-
How-to Gaming (@how_togaming) reported@AnAverageGamerX I don’t think he’s a Nintendo glazer like so many people act like he is but I kinda wish he would leave the haters alone, I think that’s his issue. He’s brining a lot of attention to a controversial topic. But I do hope those numbers check out so he isn’t hammered anymore.
-
The Abysmal Critic: HorrorAmorata (@HAmorata) reportedThe one thing no one wants to practice that kills the full price issue is patience. Wait and you can get any game at a discount. Nintendo being the only exception, but they also don't have a game pass option for new releases. Since I play mainly PC games, the physical argument is already been toasted. But I'm not willing to budge over owning my games. FOMO is the one thing that really gives Games as a Service air.
-
Greencell (@Greencell161541) reported@Pirat_Nation Actually Nintendo isn't the problem as they actually offered to help Game Freak, and Game Freak ******* refused
-
2Bpie (@taskarimasta_) reported@AG_Gobstopper You're right. I don't have a principle, a rule I apply to every company. And I have absolutely broken this standard with other companies, probably without even knowing. This is specifically against Nintendo, and I should probably apologize for making it wider than that.
-
Dew (@RecallMyName) reported@coyotejack343 Nintendo is known for letting devs take time. Mario Wonder had no deadline and metroid prime 4 has been in development for 8 years because it was originally not good enough. The Pokemon problem comes from how Gamefreak and TPC operate together
-
ᴀᴅᴅɪᴇ🥀 BORN AGAIN (@addiebee03) reportedcommunication error on two 1st place finished i hate u nintendo im sorry i cant afford mario ksrt world let me live
-
HonestToCritic (@HonestToCritic) reported@sister_wow @NextGenPlayer You mean the one Xbox is trying to artificially induce? Cuz Nintendo has only released one $80 dollar game that isn't an upgrade edition. And Sony/other publishers don't seem to be following suit. They thought they could bait em, and up Game Pass's value. Glad it's not working...
-
Mooc (@MucharV) reported@PropaneMan92 @Nintendo I mean, your community has been making up words for years, why is it a problem now
-
『Nyarla Haiyore』 Foxxo 🦊🧪 Alchedumbass (@FoxxoAlchemist) reported@Cars2BluRay Thankfully it seems Nintendo’s moving away from peer to peer connections these days. The games with those kinds of connections are the ones that have issues on tmobile internet. Mario kart world works just fine i hear. As will most. The fromsoft games im nervous about tho.
-
The Ninja Kitty (@NinjaKittyLife) reported@NintendoAmerica @NintendoCanada Is it normal for a Switch 2 to constantly have ' Software Was Closed Because An Error Occurred ' when loading games even after rebooting and redownloading the games?
-
Uni's Top Guy (@mallowcard) reported@Apexpredatory1 @kirux_alternat3 Nintendo would charge you 200 dollars for garbage, and you pigs will eat it like slop from a trough. If you had any standards at all, we wouldn't have any issues.
-
Septemberus Octoberus (@ElCaptainCook) reported@NintendoAmerica Can we fix mario kart? Bugged wall jumps, 0 progression progress, no multi-player free roam. The game feels unfinished. Which is wild considering how long you said it's been finished.
-
BloodyRipley 🎧⭕️ (@red047x) reported@L337L4K3 I just think Xbox clearly doesn’t care about exclusivity and is going to put their games everywhere. Gears going to ps made that even more clear to me. Problem is I don’t see Nintendo or ps doing that to Xbox lol
-
Keiichi Morisato (@keiichimorisato) reported@Moondog8679 @J_ROOST @Nintendo 3D isn't that much cheaper, its actually more expensive. The problem is that most adults won't see a 2D animated film, but are willing to see a 3D animated film instead.
-
LovelessDogg (@Loveless_Dogg) reported@Grummz Are you really going to ignore the games that have been priced at $100+ the past few years because you just plain want to jump onto the hate bandwagon for attention? There’s been years of this high price but suddenly now it’s an issue because Nintendo.
