@Alexand37514993 @Nintendo Ngl I'm staying clear of that game cos the voice acting for the old lego star wars actually had me howling on the floor.. that's stupid af tho, if u can't get a refund through the store I'd send an email to support like by law pretty sure they can't refuse refund if its broken?

@DatOlToonie honestly, if a game has content that's only accessible as "live-service" stuff like that, it instantly makes me lose literally all interest in the game you can't trick me into buying a product over FOMO on some random outfits for the funny plumber, nintendo

Pokémon Sword crushed on me twice at this point. I didn't think much about it first time, but twice is alarming. Wtf Nintendo? This is your game on your system. I never had any issue with BotW and my playthrough was like ~250 hours. I have maybe 70 in Sword and it crushed TWICE.

(@daimeisiekind) reported
It’s been awhile since I played on my switch cause I’m on my second pair of joycons, which both of the blue ones now have drift issues. And my pro controllers trigger is somehow ******. How much more money should I be spending on ******* Nintendo controllers? It’s so frustrating.

@truecIeo @forumjibstick @NintendoAmerica You could say this about most multiplayer that goes above 2 players. I'm thinking the limitation was a result of someone fearing legal trouble as a result of someone hitting another player with a joycon because they were too close together.

@DeepSeaManN @Reecee_yt @NintendoAmerica The code for the cars to move are literally in the game’s files and as you stated they move in Tour, if a so called “problem” happened, they would’ve moved it to wave 2 but they didn’t. And considering this version looks worse than the Tour version it was clearly rushed lmao

@TofuTehSurvivor @PufuuLive I don’t think that’s ever going to happen. The thing is that Nintendo has a reputation for being more child friendly than other gaming companies. And with the added problem of anonymous users that can say whatever they want, it’s gonna cause a lot of issues for their image.

@Kotaku Oh Jesus. These same types of articles were circulating during the wii's success. Around 07 or 08 an article came out about how nintendo was like a sweatshop for development, with strict rules for workers. The contract worker issue sounds like bs but idk about the new stuff.

@gameinformer The Lag worst then the Nintendo Switch. The graphics are little better then Nintendo Switch except it’s really hazy in game. Not bad if want to play some Fortnite on the go and you don’t have a Switch.

Got a New Nintendo 3DS since my original one was having issues. Nintendo Badge Arcade now loads in about 3 minutes as opposed to 10, so I guess things are looking up!

@savthestars Unlike "normal gamers", I'm willing to look past Nintendo's horrible mistakes. The only exception is the "free content update" AKA "fix it later" approach. That NEEDS to stop

Nintendo needs to fix their online searching with friends on their games. I shouldn't have to blind queue or try to squeeze into my friends game. We should be able to search/queue together. Wtf we doing.

@deadeyeoutlaw @ModernVintageG In that case it was the internet and leakers who killed E3 i remember back in the 90's n early 2000's i would patiently wait on the june n july issues of nintendo power and other mags just to see what was announced at E3, now everything gets leaked and theres no surprises left 😔

@MojangStatus Utterly unplayable on the Nintendo switch, the freezing takes up more time the the game. Unacceptable given how long this issue has been widely known of.

@PatternJr @resteazymyguy @fllr_sketches from is like nintendo. Both japanese devs that are completely out of sync with the industry, both refusing to fix the damn camera for ages. Both reusing the same plot for every single game. Both fanbases are kids that feel way too good about themselves while being insecure af.

@Gurnico I don’t like Ryan either but… -Mekong crossgen games still helped more people have access to them -it didn’t get closed. But now Nintendo is doing it and no one’s fighting -not officially announced -10 live service games that we haven’t seen to judge -but he reverted back -yup

@PlagueGood 🕹"I think you will find, just like a cheap knock off at your 1990s markets, Nintendo can't touch me, I bring your attention to my different button layout and marginally cooler colour scheme~ 😎 Besides I'm Vox's property so it's his problem if they sue me."
