  @ArloStuff Nintendo hates their fans and wants to govern fun. They don't like huge swaths of mario maker creators and constantly refuse to contribute to competitive play even when their fighting game is the best selling fighting game ever, even in the face of seriously broken mechanics.

  @AaronF_1992 @TCMF2 and looking at zelda vs ff16 right now. The only game out of these two that look like it will have issues is zelda. The framedrops and low resolution already gives it away, but because its Nintendo people won't care. The game could run at 20fps and you will still like it.

  @xMBGx I will never defend these like what we see from all companies, Xbox released under performance games, PlayStation released Unfinished or broken games on PC, and Nintendo charging 70 dollars for a game in a 7 years old console ( a new gen price).

  @Jooneefin @rocobonnaro1003 @blythos OP is the valid criticism, Roco is the weird nerd, Nintendo is the multi billion dollar corporation imposing excessive punishment through a broken justice system.

  @MilesDompier Nintendo needs to listen more to its consumers, that's the main issue.

  @gamebuilder2000 @TVsJordan @Falloutofcon The simple plot wouldn't be an issue if it weren't for the fact that the film can't make up for it's rushed plot by being enjoyable for anyone who's either not a kid or not a Nintendo or Mario fan And I AM a Nintendo fan and I still didn't like it! It played it way too safe!

  @SiiSSigH @MsVanHope imitate my stance with an issue of Nintendo Power, and ultimately failed. He was forced to put it away. But I didn’t have to shelve my selection. And years later in college art class we looked at Far Side panels, determined by the instructor that Larson’s work was in fact art.

  @Markis5150 @IdleSloth84_ The only problem is. I'm a console gamer. I don't want to go back to playstation. I don't want to build a PC and Nintendo's hardware is pathetic. Their games shouldn't cost 70 dollars. I need Xbox to stick with Xbox!! Its my perfered and primary console. We need a Dreamcast 2!!

  @MilesDompier Xbox: Lack of consistency with 1st party Playstation: A lot of 3rd person OTS story daddy issues games. (Albeit incredible games) Nintendo: No new hardware

  @HiTecSpecs @Fxsmat1c @OrdinaryGamers Ok so I am in the wrong if I made copies of my legit bought game (that no longer is produced or supported by Nintendo) and gave distributed it for others to enjoy? Why is it an issue for Nintendo? They dont sell it anymore. They are not losing out

  @DestroshadeTTV @Oscarosorio138 @UniDaSensei I prefer to own my games I've been doing it since the first Nintendo. Even had a Neo geo back then as well. Every console i had back then I had ownership to those games. We our in 2023 and nothing has changed for me. I have zero problems spending £70 on quality games

  @Blanq17 @rocobonnaro1003 @blythos They made a profit selling hardware and software that circumvented Nintendo copy protection. The ethics of that are certainly debatable. But they never "bricked" devices. If a device got bricked, that's an error made by the user, not a malicious act.

  @ArloStuff The retro games service on Nintendo Switch Online is better than Virtual Console, especially the Wii U one. Let's be real, even if we could buy games "niche" games like Excitebike from NES on Nintendo Switch, no one would actually do it.

  @Tech3Lazy @Supercoooooper @blythos Lol, not only did he sell the SX chip that is used to pirate on the switch, he sold a subscription service to download the entire switch library Pirating is based, of course, but this fought Nintendo and Nintendo won.

  @ArloStuff Nintendo needs to stop making games and marketing them as live service games only to abandon them shortly after release. It's more of an excuse to avoid backlash when games like Mario Strikers are released lack luster and after a few content updates the games are left too rot.

  @ArloStuff Anyone who thinks there will be a "Switch 2" might be forgetting the issues with the Wii U being viewed as a minor upgrade, not to mention Nintendo never being a tech spec company but a gimmick company. Which is a good thing, in spite of the negative reputation "gimmicks" get.

  @ArloStuff Nintendo locking older content (NES/SNES/N64 etc) behind a subscription service that will inevitably be shut down is greedy, and I hate it.

  @kidmmxv @UniDaSensei To be honest in Eurooe we never really had stock issues with the Series, it’s just nobody buys them that much compared to Nintendo and Sony, almost anybody with a console I know here has a Nintendo and or a Switch and uses GP on Pc but almost nobody has a Series and for what ?

  Ste Pickford (@stepickford) reported 45 minutes ago

  @DanWritehead @Ghost_In_Exile @redslewnninja That said, there were absolutely incredible advances in Mario 64 and Zelda OOT that were almost impossible. Nintendo basically fast-forwarded a whole generation with the number of playability problems in 3D that they solved with those two games.

  @MilesDompier Xbox: Biggest issue is the lack of global focus and inconsistency in language/region support. PlayStation: Hate the way saves/updates are handled. Nintendo: Hate the way digital licenses are handled across gens/the Switch eShop UX. Why is the store still so slow and clunky?

  @SteveEspositoSG It is, & I'm sure his team appealed & lost. The issue is Nintendo probably was able to say "They sold X devices that garnered X amount of lost sales, cause now ppl play our games for free." Usually came up with a much higher number at first, then negotiated down.

  Anyone else still have their release Nintendo Switch going strong? I've had to replace the fan on mine and fix the drift of one of my joycons but after 6 years its still chugging surprisingly well.

  @ArloStuff Nintendo should make a videogame equivalent of Kingdom Hearts (instead of Disney movies, videogames). Not related to Smashy Bros at all. Just a cheesy JRPG/adventure game where you visit those worlds for brief adventures. I doubt licencing would be an issue

  @ArloStuff Nintendo under Iwata was a totally different company than under Shuntaro Furukawa and not in a good way. Nintendo is more legally active against fans, more stingy in service like Nintendo online and offers less generous programs like the old Nintendo rewards.

  Nintendo should just make online gaming free at this point if its going to remain p2p and whoever wants to pay for **** emulators with borrowed roms can still do it as a separate service
