@survivetheark Does anyone else play ARK on Nintendo Switch? Ive been having a problem lately with the game settings. Every day i have to manually enter my Dino/Player & Miscellaneous Settings because every time i reboot my switch or close the app those settings get reset back to default. 😒

@astaranx And you guys think that Valkyrie Elysium and Forspoken would perform better on Xbox or Nintendo? If it isn't enough on every other platform then how is opening up another platform(Xbox) going to make a difference. Simple it won't help any. Square Enix themselves are the problem.

Is the obsession towards Nintendo recording new lines for Mario something that people actually care about, or did someone popular say something and now it's the trend to feel this way? It feels like such a non-issue because most of the time it works.

@ImmortalTge But they aren't bothered when Nintendo has exclusives, or when their games have performance issues. It's only when it's Sony than it becomes a problem 🤔🤔

@GouinMatt @Marionete2004 Bs, Nintendo games by default don't drop prices no matter who makes them and they are more expensive than steam games on release. Months of nonsense you mean. Steam isn't s streaming service, do you even play on PC? Do you even know how they manage to adapt those prices?

@MowzaProduction @Xbox_Series_XS Sure they pay for exclusivity but that isn't the issue as Sony has always done that and not to mention that other companies with exclusivity deals with Sony aren't hurting in the slightest. Square Enix is also Multiplat being on PC, Mobile, Nintendo devices, and PS.

@ickystyx Apparently you can fix them yourself or send them to be fixed and if Nintendo can't fix them they'll send a new one. If you have a special edition switch[I have the lets go pokemon one] you won't get the same joycon back if they send a new one tho

I miss that short time span where people hosting sites pirating Nintendo roms would put in their terms of service that you weren't allowed to use the website if you were a cop, a lawyer, or a representative/employee of Nintendo as if it would stop a lawsuit/C&D.

@N_RealNOTFake @antdude92 It has been like 2 years since the announcement. people eventually forget about this. well if they try to put Genshin on nintendo it better be on their next gen console. since current Switch is not that good graphics imo. I feel it will lag a lot and maybe 30fps is overkill.

@MowzaProduction @WNwonderland @Xbox_Series_XS Yeah I know that. Which is why I believe anybody wanting Square Enix would go through too much trouble with Nintendo to achieve it. You think Sony is a crybaby now we'll just wait for someone to try and buy Square Enix because Nintendo will top them in a heartbeat.

@macphisto96 @PeterOvo5 How are they? Square Enix is in PC, Mobile, Nintendo devices, and PS. PC and Mobile are the most profitable platforms created. So I think it's an internal problem rather than just missing 1 platform. It would be nice if their games were on Xbox, but I wouldn't help them any.

@survivetheark I've been having a problem with the ARK Nintendo Switch lately that i believe may not be the only one. Every day i have to "Manually" enter all the dino/ Player's & Miscellaneous Settings cuz every time i reboot the switch all the settings reset back to default.

@ActualAero This MUST be a problem where the root cause is very clearly the guys in the UPPER MANAGEMENT of Nintendo! I would like to say that I could be wrong, but personally, I can't see many other possible root causes of this.

@PowerA @Nintendo DM Sent. One of my biggest issues with PowerA is that, while the controllers are ok, I feel they are overpriced for the features (or lack thereof). A $50 PowerA Switch Controller lacks rumble, wake from sleep, or Amiibo support, but others do for $25-$30.

@CentroLeaks I'm glad I won't spend my money on Pokémon franchise. My collection is over. I won't spend my money on a new Nintendo console. I will keep playing my retrogames and increase my current libraries. In other hand, I rather play on an emulator than buying a **** broken console.

@RKellyPET @Ejsponge61 Exactly. Same for Nintendo. Both probably spent more resources walling their legacy titles off behind a subscription than it would have taken to just give us access to content we've already purchased. They don't care about providing service, they care about making more money.

@NintyPrime And look at games by "Nintendo" that have done with far shorter production cycles like Pokémon which turn out with performance issues, bugs and virtually minimal focus on visuals

And finally, this ruckus just show how you are not owning your game anymore. Everything is tending toward a game as a service, and you're completely at the mercy of every editors whims. Because Microsoft and Nintendo are clearly not better.

A smart Nintendo/Game Freak, would use this Sunday to drop a date for a Pokémon Presents concerning S/V DLC, and potentially focus Pokémon Day in February on upgraded Home (i.e. when day 1 Home subscriptions expire) and other issues (Pokemon Gen 1-5 VC for Switch).

Game Advertisement which is something many people's brains are having trouble registering. Sony doesn't need advertisement so simply offering their exclusives to be on Xbox and Nintendo at fair rates would be just as acceptable. I don't think anyone with a brain

@Arcanam8 @MrIraTate the playstation move was pretty cool, it was used for Heavy Rain which imo is the second best story in all of gaming. the real issue w/ these products though, was their price points (overpriced) as per usual with sony/MS innovations. nintendo was more consumer friendly back then.

@donodeluxe01 I believe there's already evidence via leaks that Nintendo & the companies they work with do use flash carts & emulation to aid with stuff. I'm pretty sure most people inside the company don't have much of an issue w/ them and it's mostly the high up execs/legal team that do.
