I've been going back and playing my old Wii and using the GameCube feature on it. I saw on YouTube that people have been able to get the new GameCube NSO switch controller working on original hardware. "Cool!" I thought. Maybe I can get one sent to me by Nintendo. Nope. It's an addon package that one must first be subscribed to NSO before you can purchase. Second hand retailers like eBay, sell them used anywhere from 80-100 bucks. Brand new, looking at about 110. Fuck Nintendo.

All of the other versions have the references, including XBox.

For me personally, if a game was discounted and the key card was 5 or 10 dollars cheaper, I would get the key and the discount

So at what point would you guys accept one single key card game? Would it be a 10 dollar discount, a 20 dollar discount, or a 50 dollar discount.

Or would you accept one for free? I like to think the free key would count as the sanity test... because you could easily sell it for money. If you reject free money, then you have to be a little insane.

According to ppl who have got to try the new fire emblem is 30fps thats just pathetic considering its price and its 2026 yet the nintendo cucks will still defend this it’s hillarious

I thank everyone on their thoughts about Nintendo. Now the question is directed to this place. What you like, what you hate, why do you stay, and what you expect.

I only ask that we don't argue with each other over our options and feedback.

(Edit)

If you don't mind, tell us your history with the place

What could go wrong trusting a massive corporation with holding your own stuff. I understand the 3ds isn’t supported anymore but at some point the switch 2 won’t be supported anymore either and game key cards will be an even more obviously useless chunk of plastic.

Whenever anyone rightfully criticizes the Pokemon series for releasing half-baked games, removing features from previous games, and other enshittifications, the general response from the defenders is usually, "Well, they have to rush the games out the door in order to promote the new anime, TCG, merchandise, etc.; that's just how it works. Pokemon isn't just a video game; it's a multimedia franchise."

However, that is not an acceptable excuse, for the simple reason that Nintendo owns multiple other "multimedia franchises".

Mario has three movies, three TV shows, an ice capades show, back-to-school supplies, McDonald's happy meal toys, a fucking theme park, and countless other merchandise.

Zelda has multiple manga, a cartoon series, an upcoming movie, t-shirts, action figures, and multiple Lego playsets.

Metroid has a manga, t-shirts, action figures, duffel bags, office magnets, and ice cube trays.

Kirby has an anime, a light novel series, plushies, action figures, and maid cafes.

Animal Crossing has plushies, t-shirts, a movie, and kitchen supplies.

Splatoon has a manga, action figures, and officially-licensed Super Soakers.

Fire Emblem has a two-episode OVA, two trading card games, two gacha games, multiple manga, a bunch of high-quality figures, and masking tape.

Xenoblade has a bunch of high-quality figures, a Switch pro controller, and detailed artbooks containing canon backstory details.

Hell, fucking F-Zero of all franchises got an anime.

But in none of those cases did anyone ever say, "Hurry up with Mario Oddyssey, McDonald's needs the happy meal toys to be ready by Thanksgiving!" or "We're only giving you this much money to develop Breath of the Wild because we need to focus our budget on the Twilight Princess manga!"

And do you know why that is? It's because the video games are the most important foundation that each of those franchises were built upon. All of the merchandise, movies, etc. only exist as marketing tools to promote the games. So why is Pokemon Nintendo's only franchise where the games need to be compromised for the sake of the merchandise?

"Well, Nintendo doesn't develop Pokemon; GameFreak does."

So fucking what? They don't develop Kirby or Fire Emblem either, but they still own the IPs.

If you don't mind, can you lay out your total thoughts about Nintendo? What you like, what you don't like, the direction their going, and your history with the company.

I like to think the majority of us are Nintendo fans who are disappointed with them, and not people who believe the toy company is evil incarnate. And the people who treat Nintendo as evil are doing it because they're having fun and fucking around.

Surely there must be somebody able to get Nintendo's attention. Nintendo always goes for targeting anyone to sue, and that's the ONLY time Nintendo ever pays attention to the people.

So. We need someone who's able to take on Nintendo and to personally bring Shuntaro Furukawa to either take him down or at the very least get him to quit. This company's MANY behaviours should be criminal and illegal. We have to do something before they completely enslave the world and drain every wallet in existence!

just the audacity and delusion of these sick fucks man.

let me remind you, mario kart costed 80 dollars. mario. fucking. kart. that game that looked and played inferior to a lot of indie titles. but when rockstar charges 80 dollars for gta 6? "they're going to ruin gaming" same with totk. nintendo is charging absurd prices for what they make.

i can get into all of the slop they push out with mario/pokemon branding too. but nah, people actually deluded themselves into thinking yoshi's mystery book is a real game. 70 dollars for yoshi's mystery book, gta wanting 80 is ruining gaming. LMFAO.

Just vote the one that feels right

Nintendo of Australia is refusing to acknowledge their own warranty policy.

Representatives I have spoken to on the phone (Hi Alex! You were immensely unhelpful!) keep throwing around that 'oh it needs to be before the 10 month mark' when a) it is and b) it should not matter as it is before the 12 month mark that signals the end of the warranty.

The problem is this: there is a small scratch in the middle of the screen that has been there the entire time I have possessed the switch 2. Because it was so small, I thought I could ignore it. Nope, the damn thing is a rainbow scar on an otherwise perfect screen. Other people on reddit, facebook, twitter, etc. Report that there can be a small scratch in the middle of the screen right out of the box. This is a defect of manufacturing, thus. This defect is covered under both the warranty policy, as written on their site, and the representative's made up timeframe that, after he made it up and was firm by, he then told me to ignore.

There is no reason for this to not be under warranty, given the evidence. Nintendo representatives also repeatedly could not answer very simple questions like 'where does it say 10 months in the policy'.

I am posting this here in the hopes that other people do not get scammed in this way

We ALL know the truth about Nintendo. But, some people are not based and not free thinking and do not know this truth. What is stopping these people from thinking basedly?
