I love how Nintendo just don’t give a **** about anything. They do their own thing and continue to sell incredibly well. They definitely have issues they should address and improve, but I respect that they’re just off in the corner being Nintendo.

@nintendolife Wouldn’t pay $60 for it. Will buy on sale down the line IF Nintendo fixes all the issues with BotW.

@NintendoAmerica I'm ready for disappointment! $70 games, more Day One Season Passes (Tears of the Kingdom), some service to be removed, and for the Nintendo Switch to still be unable to handle Themes (much less its streaming apps or Pokémon Scarlet and Violet). PROVE ME WRONG.

@nerdjpg you have a real big issue with this harry potter game because it lines a transphobe’s pockets? but you won’t get off twitter, owned by a transphobe you are using kirby as a pfp, while nintendo has contract with jk rowling there is no ethical consumption under capitalism

@a_campos64 I guess that's more props to you then. But to me, I just don't think it's viable in my opinion until Nintendo makes another console to upcharge a game for $70. I get a feeling that going to happen with Pokemon and we're still going to get similar issues.

I love that everyone’s predictions for the Nintendo Direct tonight don’t involve a patch to fix #PokemonScarlet or #PokemonViolet. People have accepted that the game is severely broken and moved on. I’d quite like to see a patch or news on an impending patch @NintendoUK

I was always under the impression that $70 games were because of next gen hardware and the need to recoup on 4k development, but I guess nintendo just cares more about price gauging than other things like revamping their **** online service!

PS: having a Nintendo Direct at 11PM / 23:00 is a problem though because I know I'll be so excited that I won't be able to sleep before at least 4am / 4:00 🥲

@UltimaShadowX i honestly wouldnt be surprised if in the future it's compatible with the voucher system or NSO+ so nintendo can have their online service get an artificial boost to it's numbers...

Are villages making anyone else's Minecraft worlds lag? I was just playing on a Survival World on my Nintendo Switch, walked into a village, and my game started lagging pretty badly. There is a lot of stuttering and freezing.

The real issue is really that Nintendo needs to bring back gold cart Zelda games while the switch is still alive.

@kyoukopebbles @TheQuantumCat It's likely that her honesty about how she felt about the game got a Nintendo employee to cry to staff and that's why she's in trouble. These companies only allow their games to be streamed to advertise for them. They are not granted impartiality.

@TheBa55Singer I think the problem is not a lot of people know how to find an archive of a recent Direct without being spoiled. And sadly, there's only 1 way to do that, and that's to go to Nintendo's website and find their Direct archive page. But it's best to have that open before the Direct.

@armzad3h You have a gambling problem :’) No offense- I don’t think I’ve seen anyone bet on Nintendo Directs ever

@ScottFalco Nintendo announces they are improving their online services and makes servers for online games like Mario Maker 2 and Mario Party Superstars so that they don't lag and play absolutely horribly.

@FrezzerFox The irony is that this could happen with any other company and there would be a problem, but it’s Nintendo so people just overlook and blindly spend their money when they should be demanding better hardware.

@VGC_News Imagine if Nintendo Sold Scarlet and violet the worst Pokemon games ever made for 70$ That would be a scam if I ever saw one.... Game has soo much performance issues and Visuals that it just hurts to look at, repeating the same textures and patterns on the environment.

@ID_AA_Carmack Sounds like a symptom of a bigger problem. People seem to have no problem charging their Nintendo Switches or wireless gamepads.

@LysukoNeko that’s fair, personally I didn’t find BotW1 worth the $60 compared to other open world games, so im likely not going to even get BotW2 and if I did it would be when it’s on sale… which is the other big issue, because Nintendo loves to NEVER put their games on sale

@MikeJMika I actually still had the game as recently as 2005...at least now, I still have it via the Nintendo Online service...actually, I have a significant lineup of retro collections, both digital and retail, on my Switch....

@Gemfruit @8BitDo I think they fixed this issue a few years ago. I own three 8bitdo controllers with the SNES style D-pad and all work fine. More responsive than official Nintendo controllers too

Look, if it turns out that Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom is $70, that game better hit 60fps and is completely stable, WITH NO ISSUES on the Switch. Y'know, the Nintendo console that has yet to make a Pro version to rectify those issues. Because if it isn't, then we need to talk.
