@Playstation5Lo2 @PS5RestockAlert Yea I follow a bunch of them. I figured.out the issue. The other guys were fukn following that trash *** Nintendo Direct like people ain't out here looking for PS5s. That direct was full of re-releases like always. And an opportunity was missed

I just want Nintendo to fix it ok new Switches. I don't think its worth it getting mine fixed because I mainly use a pro controller

@NintendoAmerica I don’t think this is a good idea, a similar service was launched on 360 called Game Room and it ranked. If memory serves it lasted less than a year before support was stopped.

@turtellord_ @chetmcwhiskers @NintendoAmerica I’m really hoping Splatoon 3 is where Nintendo finally fixes its bullshit server problem of using Windows 98

I think I would like Skyward Sword if it were a lot shorter. The problem is that the whole game feels like a tech demo for Motion Plus. I wouldn't mind that in a shorter game (I love Nintendo Land's similar Zelda minigame) but it's exhausting after an hour of it.

@NintendoAmerica Not buying any joy cons until you confirm the drift issue is resolved.

@MegsauraZX Also there's the issue that this pass is more based on what the higher ups at Nintendo wanted rather than Sakurai. That said it would be pretty amazing if Zero or Vent/Aile got in but with two slots left and one of them I'm presuming is going to be a Gen 8 Pokemon rep, well...

@dankopus @JoeMiller101 External storage works.... Sony even announced to use an external hard drive to store PS4 games while they try finding a suitable ssd replacement, but I prefer they sell their own. Also, you really want to mention stick drift when not only Nintendo, but Xbox have had this issue.

Unlike most, I don't have an issue with Nintendo characters as DLC, just that it was a bit predictable knowing other elements in mind.

Damn, that Nintendo Direct be like "we haven't got any news on BOTW 2 yet, and we're not bringing you a 3D Zelda collection like everyone wants, but we are gonna port the worst Zelda game to Switch, fix the controls a little, and make it $60!"

Layton dream is almost certainly dead at this point tbh, last two character packs will be Crash Bandicoot and Doom Guy I reckon. Sakurai won’t announce a season 3, he’s done after this, the guy needs a break. I suppose Layton just isn’t on Nintendo’s radar outside of Europe.

@Dilla64J @MyNintendoNews I have broken PS4 controllers but it seems it doesn't matter as long as Nintendo hate is trending.

Ok I see a lot of people losing hope on their characters like crash but I say don’t give up hope it’s not over yet think about this pyra and mythra made a lot of sense to be in a Nintendo direct Nintendo could be saving A big third party for E3

@travis_dragon00 Nintendo didn't even gave us a little showcase of Crash 4 during the wave of new games.

@Matteus_UK The problem is it's Nintendo. They're like Disney: they hold both the hardware and software. You can't just buy a cheaper version of their games on X-Box, you have to buy Nintendo products to play their games. So why bother charging less for something you can't get elsewhere?

@Chris_Dring I wonder if the general reaction to direct is disappointment..Nintendo has a problem with too much variety and it's audience being too heterogenous as a result

@najirooo Not to mention Nintendo's history in rereleasing games for a higher price like Donkey Kong Tropical Freeze and the New Super Mario games Comparing that to remakes like Crash's N. Sane trilogy being sold at $40 msrp, the arguements are pretty fair

@kimmotman honestly, my big issue is the game already has representation in smash, but there are some major Nintendo titles [**COUGH COUGH** RHYTHM HEAVEN **COUGH COUGH**] that still don't have a fighter. If it was an anime swordfighter from a game without a rep I wouldn't even be that mad.

(@roidman2) reported
@ZeldaUniverse Nintendo likes to throw curveballs to keep us guessing so the charater we want just might be a different charater that from same game that could be in smash, for example people want crash but they would surprise us by putting N cortex instead

@DemeechYT @KingGeoshi64 I love WiiU games got ported for a 2nd chance since they sold poorly since Nintendo failed to sell the WiiU but same time I agree, lacking on new games. Direct did show too much anime styled games, but that’s not an issue...

Okay when is Nintendo going to get those new online servers installed because I don't think I can take another second of fighting lag in Smash Bros Ultimate

@antdude92 Also it's kinda weird that Crash wasn't announced. I mean Crash 4 on Switch is coming in March which could be around the time the character could come out. It's Crash's 25th this year and Crash is back on the market. You'd think Nintendo would well help spread Crash.

@TjGuyver Well what's the issue then? Nintendo offer a remaster of a game on a new generation with updated controls and HD graphics - the best possible on their hardware - and charge full price. Sony did the same and charged full price, what's the difference? Except you being a fanboy?

@gfs_speaker Well since there’s only two more fighters coming in, and Nintendo keeps pushing bringing my hopes down, I don’t think that Crash will be coming in. But like you said about New Content, I like the Mario stuff in Animal Crossing.
