@KirbyKid__ I never did get my hands on Dark Turbo Charge DK 😔 i have the other 3 though lol. Skylanders should've ended or done a soft reboot after trap team imo. The only memorable thing about Superchargers/Imaginators are the Nintendo/Crash Bandicoot crossovers

If you think the sole and biggest problem was Nintendo, you're honestly delusional. Do I say they weren't an issue? No. Were they the biggest? Definitely not. GE is a legal mess, and trying to pass it as "It was just Nintendo" IS being misinformed and oversimplifying.

Hi @Ubisoft - What did you do to Uno on @NintendoAmerica Switch? My friends and I now have two "Unos" on our home screens and i can't invite my friends to a private match. When I played a random 2v2 match, the card descriptions popped up and we couldn't get out of it. Please fix

@ilias_G1 @GameSpot you have to be joking right? Nintendo and Sony have made the best selling consoles that have been almost flawless at launch. Xbox's SX has been having just as many issues as Sony's PS5, but you don't here from Xbox because it has no influence on the Media from News Companies.

@CastleManiaRyan @rtingsdotcom I think digital should be paired with physical for ALL types of media. Yes digital is convenient, but at the end of the day you are just "renting" whatever it is. If the service does go out of business or shuts down you are SOL. (Nintendo Wii Shop, Ultraviolet just to name a few)

@0ppong @IGN Licensing and copyright issues. Nintendo published the original game. Rare (owned by Microsoft now) developed the game...and at the time of it's development, Activision owned the Bond license itself which is now owned by IO Interactive.

@Njittie that's what i've heard, the problem is i want to play official versions of them but nintendo likes to pretend it doesn't exist and won't bring it to switch (though i'm sure we'll never see a na version of mother 3)

@JoshYohe_PGH @giggo_77 Me and my Bloomfield gang would almost always go out and play football in the snow... like clockwork. Then home for the Nintendo! I would have left castlevania etc on pause from the night before. No save function punks. You paused and hoped for no freeze or crash!

@Chulo48326380 @ModelAAA90 Fun fact: there was a time were there was so many pokemon r34, to the point that if searched pokemon the first thing that appeared was the rule34 page, and Nintendo had to step in, and forced them to change the tag to porkymon to avoid legal issues LMFAO

@OnTheDownLoTho Nintendo had no stock issues for the Holiday season from what I saw and reported on. They sold more systems in Japan than they did the previous year, and their NPD totals were just as high or a bit higher some months,

@DirectFeedGames @FireFlame_95 @Ambient_Malice I talked with the original port devs, with the original leaker from 2007, with N64 devs and from other Bond games. It's all linked in the description. Don't be so dense. Yes, they were told Nintendo was a reason, but were they the biggest problem? No. Not hard to understand.

@HoboJoeSSB the main issue from launch was that they playtested on juiced-up switches and the software was taking that into account. they couldn't get it patched right away because nintendo needed to approve the patch first.

i love my @nintendo switch but i've never had this much trouble with any other console in my life. i take very good care of my switch and i keep it out of dusty places and still my joycons have given me a ridiculous amount of trouble and they are much too expensive to replace.
