@BlandrewYT The same arguement goes for Nintendo. Y’all were had no issue paying $69.99 for a controller that should have been bundled with the console. You guys have no issues paying for a lackluster online service, you guys have no issue paying $60 for 5 year old games.

@Cptn_Alex AC:NH is basically just unfinished. I hate the current trend with games now where it's "release unfinished, fix over the course of the next year or two." There's so much missing in New Horizons that was in the base game of New Leaf (Nintendo items, The Roost, Gyroids, etc.)

Awful service from @NintendoUK .... Ordered a hoodie on the 8th December... Still not received by 19th Jan so cancelled... And now they haven't even issued the refund as promised in their email

@THEREALRTU PS4 and Xbox One games have trouble being ported to Switch so I imagine PS5 and Series X games will be almost impossible. I think if Nintendo wants continued 3rd party support they'll have to release a Switch Pro or whatever

@PressStartKofi Like if it was nintendo increasing their prices to $70 then we have a problem. Because they're games barely go sale unlike the other publishers. So yeah games being $70 definitely SUCKS but at least them games are $50-$40 after a month or two. Don't buy one just wait 😌

@BilalPrinceAli @Mace_gamer @The_CrapGamer Again we have no verified digital data. NPD digital game sales tracking are used at certain authorized retailers and websites, and the Nintendo and Microsoft doesn’t use NPDs service. Do you actually know what you are saying?

@theateremokid @ZFighterAmuro Iirc W101 was also a Nintendo joint project, and PG had to ask Nintendo's permission to bring it to other consoles with the remastered version. The difference here is that W101 bombed on Wii U, so Nintendo likely saw no issue in letting the IP go due to lack of potential on-

I honestly wouldn’t want subspace back with that gameplay. It had some fantastic fan service and great moments in cutscenes and bosses but godamn half the time it was just a very slow platformer with Nintendo faces slapped on to it

@DJK1NG_Gaming @BlandrewYT Brought yourself here by calling me cheap. If you have no issue paying $70 for a controller, do not complain about the upcoming $70 games coming to Nintendo. 😚

@DomConnor2 @NintendoUK Switch era Nintendo is a company at their most egregious, anti-consumer. Infact, downright contempt for the consumer. Faulty hardware they refused to acknowledge, limited time games, terrible online service, games that are 3 times the price as on ps4. **** nintendo at this point.

@Blkcub87 @NintendoAmerica Yeah seems like a you problem. Just let one of their biggest sellers end that makes sense

@Fighters_Gen One of Nintendo exclusive never got a chance to ported or remastered on other consoles. If that's possible. It will likely a Japan-exclusive due to licensing issues in West. No hard feelings but, this how license works internationally.

@Johnnyboy_63 @animalcrossing Nobody has forgotten that. But when the game is boring people desperately want more content and sorry a once a year festival that doesn’t even give new recipes to decorate with isn’t going to cut it. There should be no issue pushing out new content, Nintendo is simply being lazy.

@JuanFelipeBR73 @animalcrossing Look the problem isn't the events or updates. Its how Nintendo has left them out and slowly but surely adding them into the game. Not to mention how they are not really improving the game as much. With the lack of new features and new content the game feels more boring and stale.

@masterduffus @NintendoAmerica mario 35 has the same problem i wouldn't even care if they put gacha elements in it to make money from it, it seems pointless to remove a game that has possible profit

@NintendoAmerica @animalcrossing Please fix the game before you add these events that are just boring versions of the ones in New leaf

nintendo button layout is so confusing... I mean historically it makes sense but my brain just can't register the x button accordingly it doesn't represent x as in x axis like on xbox nor as in "x marks the spot" on playstation. this button is the goddamn problem lmao

@OhNoItsAlexx But Alex, you're a hypocrite because you like Nintendo and not Epic Games Store, because those two issues are exactly the same. (That strawman will be here in serious form any minute)

secured by Nintendo's simple DRM. By updating the game's version and linking your Nintendo Account for separate cloud storage in case of console problems. This also makes the internet-based items are time locked until the exact date of said event.

@BlandrewYT It's the same with nintendo as well and y'all nintendo fans stay quiet. Paying $70 for games is definitely a problem if it's the likes of EA, Activision or Ubisoft where they put a bunch of mtx in they're games all the time. But most of PS games dont so it's not really a problem

@JohnLewisRetail can you please provide a customer service number for Nintendo? JL c/s say that my warranty for the switch I purchased in November is with them, not you. I was unable to note the number on chat on Saturday as the whole thing crashed when I tried to save it.
