@Blanc_Otaku There in lies the second issue; Nintendo AND Sony do not see each other OR Microsoft as competition. All 3 have said it on multiple different times and that is honestly frightening when considering how lax these companies have been about a lot of recent events-- especially Sony.

@JeffGrubb If it ain’t broke, why fix it? Still wish Nintendo could just add more to it with dlc lol

@GhostlyLuigi the problem is that nintendo can not trust even a little in f-zero fans so that the game is not a failure, so the normal thing that they want to do something new

@RINGLEADERSGMG @nintendolife It's a lot for Nintendo, but just so you know, 11 billion much bigger than 7 billion, since you know, 11 is greater than 7. And in billions, that's actually quite a big difference. The only issue is that buying square would reduce them down to 4 billion.

Does anyone have a Nintendo switch and switch lite and have had issues with online games particularly expansion packs etc which don't work. Think it's to do with primary console setting but frustrating as the kids use them interchangeably & now some paid for games don't work.

@shadow7591 Eh I feel like most of there issue is in the past but even then square ambitions is different from Nintendo that being together would limit both of them that it’s better not to be together

@fangstoes my lite used to do the same & I also had the worst issues with drifting on my left joycon! I’m not sure if ur from the UK but you can send them off to nintendo for free & they fix it for free if you’ve had ur lite for under 2 years x

@ilikeweirdart @RoseFromTheAshs @Reggie This is Nintendo. This is a videogame meant to sell. Not a film on a streaming service. It will never happen.

People: "Fix the damn controller already!" Nintendo: "Here's a new color for the Switch Lite."

@SadBoyBarrett This is the issue with Nintendo in general, those games sell so well that they really don’t need to make new installments. It sucks but it’s hard to blame them when folks keep buying old games.

@Miguel_Casso @NintyPrime they starved the fans long enough though that they would make money especially with the install base Switch has..but that's another issue w/ Nintendo they put new entries of old IPs on their worst selling consoles...for example Starfox

@Wiiknight678 I think they would completely avoid Nintendo knowing the issues they have amongst each other. Honestly it will be interesting but at the same time I know that's not going to happen lol

@Joeynator3000 That has nothing to do with Nintendo Online. eShop is a separate issue and yes, they need to increase bandwidth. It's a pain to browse

@infrarogue89 Something I noticed... fanboys on both sides like to start trouble for no reason. So glad I enjoy all including Nintendo.

@marcos27pr @vicious696 Nintendo will have that problem whether they put Game Pass on Switch or not. Why buy Battlefield on Switch when you could play it on your phone with Game Pass? So they might as well put Game Pass on Switch and try to profit from it.

@Stealth40k At the same time, if the rumor is real, Nintendo is the least likely of the three to try and shoehorn themselves into SquareEnix business. I'm with you on studios staying independent. If SquareEnix is in trouble, I'd rather it be Nintendo that acquires them.

@ConstantNewb I wasn't aware, I was only aware of the adaptive triggers. When I googled my issue (how to fix it myself) I read those articles but that didn't / hasn't yet blown up on the scale of Nintendo. - I also have 2 PS4 controllers that slightly drift but I had them for years, not months

I’m not sure what outcome fixes that problem. A Microsoft takeover likely wouldn’t have changed much. A Nintendo takeover could’ve had greater effect, but more people would miss out on the games. It doesn’t matter now of course. The status quo remains, for better and for worse.

@Waiting_for_BB Updates normally be every week - 2 weeks when send to Nintendo - Banner issue will be fixed in the next patch. We are looking at load times but this is a Steam issue with specific map seeds being slow to load, it's just more noticeable on Switch as it not as powerful as a PC.

@GamingGuruBTips I can't really say. Before mine started drifting, I wasn't aware but there are report. Yet, it doesn't seem to be the scale of Nintendo. Friends that have had their PS5 since launch don't have an issue. So yeah, can't really say.

@itsJoshualive @nintendolife The main reason anybody pays for an online service is to be able to play games with other people online. Nintendo throws a bunch of additional **** in with the service to distract you from the fact that they didn't do a very good job of doing it.

@PhysicsSwitch Nintendo will never allow that because they don't want their gaming characters to be in other games and they don't care about epic or fortnite if they did care they would have made epic fix the game in fps and physics so no i don't think that will happen

@HeroScrappy @nintendolife Also... “the one thing it’s supposed to do well” is literally your own interpretation and want. That isn’t Nintendo’s position on the service, if that isn’t abundantly clear. You’re disappointing yourself.
