@SinglePlayerUni @IGN But it would be a lot more practical, because then you wouldn’t expect to have dedicated games made for it, which was the main issue with PS Vita. There just weren’t any good enough games. Nintendo Switch worked because of the seamless transition between handheld and regular

As badly as I want a Nintendo switch I am thinking of doing an important investment on the channel: New CPU:*smoothier gameplay and faster editing and faster work for me in general* New Mic: Seiren X been having some issues lately, in case of mic I'd love to hear suggestions

Nintendo need to fix engage'***** rates. They're completely unfair on hard and above and it's getting frustrating. I'm replaying it and I'm having worse luck this time around

@TheAlch3mist @OliverJia1014 lol much of Nintendo’s handheld offerings were third party developed. Proprietary wasn’t the problem the price was. If they undercut the costs of them to leverage game sales later and had 64gb at like $10 nobody would be saying “durr proprietary bad”.

@PaulTassi (I say special hardware in reference to joycons, and the over all experience of using a switch. Nintendo has a weird niche where absolutely no one has a problem with their exclusives... And I mean yeah. The whole thing is an experience)

The news of a new Mario and there a problem with the game, no excitement, there not point of being interested in new Nintendo game. People would rather what someone say about instead trying it out.

@NintendoUK Any chance of sorting out the GameCube controller issue. There is no fire button, just 2 aim buttons

@MissRedfield47 @NintendoAmerica Tbh y’all are bold for assuming Nintendo was gonna do anything fans wanted. I knew they weren’t going to fix the controls. Did I say that was ok? No I didn’t. I want them updated too. So please enlighten me on where I’m defending Nintendo in my original comment.

@johnlewishelp Hi, Is the guarantee you advertise for the Nintendo Switch a John Lewis guarantee, or the manufacturers warrantee? I have been told to go to Nintendo for a technical problem, so what does your guarantee provide us with?

E3 is going to be cancelled this year. Largely because of Nintendo, Sony & Microsoft is experiencing problems with the ESA. This is a slit in the wrist for every video game fan. This will definitely hurt all 3 companies & gamers will be kicking & screaming with this dropout.

@morrthemerri_er @IGN Which is exactly the problem they would run into trying to get back into the handheld market. Right now Nintendo is the only game in town, but a lot of that is because they have always been the best game in town, and PS's last venture to handheld was famously a flop.

People ask me why I don’t stream Splatoon, and I’ll be honest: the game has been out for months and I’m still seeing teammates disconnect in more than half my matches. That’s a bad look, @NintendoAmerica

@IGN Why would anybody purchase this when you can legitimately buy PS4 era games on Deck. You're locking yourself into the Sony ecosystem for no reason when you could have access to PS/Xbox/Nintendo games via emu or steam. Even Switch has more games lol, if money is an issue buy that

How many old 80/90's sitcoms have had the joke, "he can't even fix a car, he'd rather watch Star Wars/spend time on the internet/play Nintendo" or something like that? I want to think this is the next progression of that but in a 21st century context.

@matchthevibes @Super70sSports Our atari was always fine, it was Nintendo we had a problem with. Had to blow in the games to try to get them to work

@IGN It's the worst time, they just stopped having stock issues with the PS5 and the VR2 is on the verge of releasing. The handheld is a hard market to get into because it's dominated by Nintendo and the Steam Deck has a small share of it.

@MarinaTentacles @NintendoAmerica Still a problem sadly even in ranked. A team is getting curbstomped and one of them just quits and ruins it for all of us. After multiple offenses (sometimes bad internet just happens) those people should absolutely be prevented from accessing ranked for the rest of the season.

multiple people say that working at nintendo was one of the worst experiences of their life. bab took 20 dollars out of my paycheck for gift card money, and was too cheap to fix multiple problems my store was having. devsis has a history of being idiotic with decisions
