@LapyerDevil @oskool_g I see a lot of studios with no game releases in years. Microsoft has a mismanagement issue. And still, they have more developers than either Sony or Nintendo, but didn't publish any AAA this year.

@RetroBreakNick I totally agree with the first one, switch could have been great, the system have a lot of possibilities but nintendo limited it on purpose (no svod service, no internet, horriblevirtual console service)

@KIKILTOPOL Sounds like a more serious problem.. you’re better off contacting Nintendo about this as it might need to be sent in for repairs

@John_Blauze @RetroBoyJon Sounds an awful lot like the GameBoy. Switch is great, but it’s obvious that Nintendo has an issue with throughput, which is why some of its most treasured properties have been handed to other studios or were developed externally to begin with, despite assumptions by fans.

@PersonaSpeaks Nintendo. They always win when it comes to games. Because they don't have hardware issues where their hardware is inaccessible and their games are legitimately fun. Sony would have won but Ps5 is their blessing and curse.

@rebirth_77 @NintendoAmerica Super is a problem for me not because it’s hard to get or something like that, but more because I don’t really have a place for my wii right now, which of course could always change, but there’s no telling when that change could happen

@GreatSaiyaman81 It’s not so bad, only the person who DCs gets the punishment, everyone else gets the match treated as a No Contest. Tbh we have more issues with Nintendo communication errors than people intentionally dropping.

@SamsProStation Sam, I feel your frustration so hard. I spent more time than I'd care to admit on my latest stream ranting about this very problem due to the conversation happening on your Nintendo Life QRT. It's insanely frustrating how some people unfairly drag this game in reviews.

@DiscordianKitty Wokeness is definitely the main problem that has ruined the reputation of many companies (thank god Nintendo isn't woke though 🙌). Bruh, your false moralism, your false sense of justice is so evident and pathetic. 🤭

@indybana @SuedPhoenix7709 @NinEverything WHAT?! ******* oof. If nintendo doesnt fix every single one of the switches glaring design flaws and be more consumer friendly with their next console, Im not buying it. 30+ year nintendo fan here.

@NintendoAmerica Are the #Splatoon3 disconnects this common? It's become aggravating from it becoming so frequent. It's not right to customers who pay for Nintendo Online when this inconvenience is so prominent. Please fix this problem.

@ChopperM8 @U1timateInkling @FE_Heroes_EN This was a common issue last year. it has to do with your Nintendo ID. Just make sure to have it linked. Then you'll have to relog into your ID when you reset FEH. Hope this helps.

@Colteastwood The problem with xbox is there's actually no killer app / game that everyone's is looking at or talking about. Sony and Nintendo knows better the gaming industry in this regards. Hope next year Microsoft put a release date to the new exciting projects comming also to PC!.

@SagamiSword_ @SEAyonk @qTinaa___ They both also have problems. I love the Joycons and their swapping functionality, they have massive problems with feel and stick drift that Nintendo is ignoring. The Steam Deck while not having the problem as frequent (as far as I'm aware,) if it does happen, it's harder to fix.

@SweatyPug Apparently people have been using it to verify fake as business such as steam and nintendo, I see a news article last night, so its not working very well 🙃

@H_Senpaiii @nintendolife oh wow you didn't get the switch-specific problems (which this review is all about) on PC? wow that's SHOCKING. It's almost like the negative review on a nintendo site was evaluating how the game runs on a nintendo console.
