@UltimaShadowX @MistressDove Pyra and Mythra were censored even further. Good to know that Nintendo's causing more and more problems with things like this.

@LonelyGoomba To be honest, the main issue with the WiiU (games aside) is that Nintendo never really knew how to fully exploit and sell what the console was and could do. Nintendo never really sold it as a "next gen console" due to how lackluster the advertising was.

@NintendoAmerica I'm a great fan of FF Tactics and the sRPG genre, and I fear I don't even have the hopes of helping improve this through said feedback. There are too many problems here, but I also think the story segment was awfuly chosen for a demo, so it might be due to that.

@Andyblarg @Maverickmd1 @ArloStuff The problem is setting expectations that high in the first place then being upset when YOUR expectations aren't met. I thought the direct was awesome because I don't follow stupid and pointless Nintendo gossip. All that does is set you up for failure.

@oskool_g @Michael_F_B They've already got an army from xbox facing them. If xbox lands another country like zenimax, say a sega or something to round out Japan and jrpg's and the Blue Blur himself......... it's gonna be very tough for Sony. Xbox's issue is, they gotta worry about Nintendo, Phil

@Stinky_exe Crash was never owned by Sony. The only companies that can decide if Crash will be in Smash or not are Nintendo (ofc) and Activision.

@MrGotcho919 @josenava6489 @videogamedeals I keep telling nickas. I’ll pay $80 for a Soul Silver or Heart Gold each stand alone or Advance Wars Dual Strike. The new Pokémon pimped fools into buying that $40 game at $60/each. That’s why I said Nintendo haters pick and choose their issues. I def said it wasn’t worth it.

@NintendoAmerica I'm a great fan of FF Tactics and the tRPG genre, and I fear I don't even have the hopes of helping improve this through said feedback. There are too many conflictives issues here, but I also think the story segment was awfuly chosen for a demo, so it might be due to that.

@KSmarties You are completely right. We don't know the inner workings of Nintendo and can't assume business decisions are made because one person is or isn't there. That would also be apparent if Iwata was still alive but just not working at Nintendo.

@TomatoGhost Sephiroth's cool If you haven't played PMEX for 2 years. Then you wonder why can't Nintendo make a moveset this fun? Anime swords are just boring. We could have had so many cool picks - Tails, Rayman, Travis, Geno, Crash - even from ARMS Dr. Coyle would've been a better idea.

@Lythero While I respect the dante wish, we already have 3 capcom reps, lee... other studios could use the smash bump/representation... gimme sly cooper, rachet and clank, crash. We have enuf swordies, despite what Nintendo says (Cause I JUST KNOW the big N was the reason 4 pyra/mythra!)

@JonTetrino @Spac3Gh0s7_ sure, they're part of the issue, but Nintendo is notorious for never putting anything on sale, and switch Tax is very much real itself, They create and foster the "normalcy" for things on Switch being **** expensive, Else Skyrim on Every other platform would still be 60 as well.

@MASKEDWARRIA @EdwardViaTomato It's not an optimization problem. AGAIN it is because they are optimizing for a system that Nintendo has underpowered because they know they have casuals and don't have to upgrade because they have the sales already.

@ribbitmel all these years later and Nintendo still refuses to fix their own hardware. sigh I guess I can add the stupid joy-con issues to the list of reasons why I shouldn't get a switch aksfjkfjk

@DaisukeSugino @blazefan519 @surasshu Smash is another Nintendo low effort game, Mass Effect is story > gameplay. Crash is singleplayer level after level, and each level is different, Spyro same argument as crash, Street Fighter has had 5 games since 87 and last, if you say GoW is copypaste, you're actually retarded.

@nescartridges Xenoblade is owned by Nintendo, a Japanese company. Crash is owned by Activision, an American company. It's easier to put in a character from a Nintendo franchise compared to a third party franchise because there are no negotiations involved. Nothing hard to understand here.

@LJS39124058 @noobguy57 @OnTheDownLoTho I feel xenoblade deserved another rep because it is a very popular gaming franchise Japan and they are Nintendo IP’s representing a game which is an Nintendo game I want to see crash and another sonic rep but I feel the chances for a sonic rep are slim now with only 2 spots left

@chuggaaconroy Yeah... this is why Nintendo should fix the drift problem at its source and not just make people buy more just to even play.

@becdoestweets @EmergencyPony Fun Fact: This episode title is shared with the game Crash Bandicoot 4 as a subtitle. Not lying, there's also a Crash Bandicoot 4 game, for PS4 and Xbox One, but coming soon to PS5, Xbox Series, PC and Nintendo Switch.

If anyone wants a weird philosophical problem solving puzzle video game then Talos Principle is currently on sale for cheap for Nintendo Switch.

@ais_SevenFisher I get you. it's hard to trust Nintendo when they have overpriced games + they can't be bothered to fix their hardware right now,I'm only excited for the Kingdom Hearts ports on PC lol

(@blurr_warun) reported
@FalKoopa_ Broadly speaking, I actually agree with the sentiment that games shouldn't be undervalued from their launch pricing - it is more predicated by the visibility the game gets either in the store, word of mouth, or marketing efforts. Nintendo has little problem in those areas is all.

@DoppiGoose @mysticboyboxden I don’t accept either premise, because both of them are false unless you have some weird rules you create yourself. And if the main reason to play a Nintendo console is for Nintendo games and they seem to have no problem making games for it, the “weak” comment is kinda moot🙃

@JFonzerrelli My main complaint How Sony and Microsoft are playing the Nintendo game using the Wii strategy. Literally withholding consoles to keep "high demand" up. Samsung/Apple had no issues keeping their $600 phones in stock in stores. Using the pandemic excuse is getting old.
