  It is, you’re giving me an argument with no way to prove it. You just saying it doesn’t mean it’s true. I can’t find a single example that proves Sony and Xbox don’t do the same thing. Also I would argue even if it was a problem with only Nintendo, which it’s not, they just filled over 3 million console preorders on day 1. The most video game consoles sold on day 1 of all time. Thats the opposite of scarcity. Also they sold twice as many console as the ps5. Opposite of scarcity. I’m talking about consoles only right now.

  @KyleJamesOlson @FerrisWheelPro It’s all opinion based at this point. The corporations have a hand in it all. Microsoft, Sony, Nintendo, Nvidia, Ubisoft etc. The only thing left to do is wait for the gaming crash. Until then, make your own joy where you can find it

  @antdude92 I'm not surprised. Nintendo has a major shovelware problem. They allow this game to be on the eShop and yet games like Neptunia Re;birth, Menhera Farm and others are denied. Know what I call this? Hypocrisy.

  @NierHellFire It is also important to point out. I'm talking about genuine good remakes. P3R, Resident Evil series, Crash Bandicoot etc Not ****** remasters Nintendo likes to produce. Unfortunately some companies really use the idea of remakes as a tool to get into players pockets

  @DestinLegarie wow the amount of people who have lost the understanding of turning on the a nintendo hardware putting the game in and play---99.99% of people are now frankly scary "internet plugged in", "What's the problem?" It's you.(not you Destin, them)

  Nintendo Switch is just a glorified nostalgia machine struggling with latency issues. Perfect for basement parties, terrible for serious FPS action. Prove me wrong. 🎮🔥 #HotTake #SwitchLag #RealTalk

  @Nintendo @NintendoAmerica the switch 2 is cool and all, but PLEASE fix the gamecube adapter disconnection problem please!! My controller disconnects after an hour-ish of gameplay

• Vivi 🦭 (@SealYamamura) reported 14 days ago

  @PiperistheNewbl Nintendo apparently pays him to do this but that brings up the bigger issue of companies wasting the tech they made with slave labour

• 『Nyarla Haiyore』 Foxxo 🦊🧪 Alchedumbass (@FoxxoAlchemist) reported 14 days ago

  @Cars2BluRay Thankfully it seems Nintendo’s moving away from peer to peer connections these days. The games with those kinds of connections are the ones that have issues on tmobile internet. Mario kart world works just fine i hear. As will most. The fromsoft games im nervous about tho.

• Moove Over (@ZoieNolan1) reported 14 days ago

  @NextGenPlayer There was a world parts shortage in 2020 thanks to the COVID pandemic. Because of this, both Sony and Xbox struggled to produce enough units to meet demand. That is no longer an issue in 2025, Nintendo has access to it's parts. So I feel like this is an unfair comparison.

• blanko (@Blanks_o2) reported 14 days ago

  @SW1TCHBLXDE ok so you would need an update and internet to update so you would not be able to with a fresh system or a system you had to restore and a fresh cart. this would be an issue if/when nintendo offlines the servers/shop. both are pretty common scenarios

• . (@itsjulian) reported 14 days ago

  @FortniteStatus bought a Nintendo Switch 2 and the game has excessive random rubberband lag. Checked on my laptop and switch 1 and the issue doesn’t happen on either of those devices. Any help?

• B (@BasedRedhead) reported 14 days ago

  It’s the exact same console, same components… even the same broken controllers that drift. Stick to the switch 1 and give it like 5 years until nintendo actually innovates and makes an original console again.

  @onlyhereforpkmn It's one of the few games with backwards compatibility issues Nintendo has already talked about it being worked on lol
