I hate this game Luigi Mansion 3 for switch

stars-rating-full stars-rating-full stars-rating-full stars-rating-full stars-rating-full
I hate this game and I'm mad that I spent so much on a game and simply can not play. I have had every hand held system and also enjoyed the Mario series games but I can not play this game I've been stuck in the cage in the basement foe days and days and in spite of following the explanations of the game and other game help websites I simply cannot do it. This game is not at all like previous games and I really want a substitute game or my money back.

stars-rating-full stars-rating-full stars-rating-full stars-rating-full stars-rating-full
I am furious with this company, they deleted a Mario Maker 2 level I made a few days back just to have it deleted, what the heck?!!, if it had coins that made out a profanity word I would have understood or a racial slur, but this was a joke level sort of, but nooooooooo, big N has to pitch a fit like a kindergartener or 1st grader who can't have his or her way which ticks me off to the hottest degree, I will stick to PC gaming from now on you just lost a customer Nintendo, you are rude to fans and you know it!!!!

Joycon drift issues

stars-rating-full stars-rating-full stars-rating-full stars-rating-full stars-rating-full
The joycon drift issues are wayy too common. They are a known defect and to make things worst nothing has been done to change it. There is no way to set up repairs for this thing online so you have to call and wait on the phone for an eternity and listen to the terrible waiting system. I saved half a year to buy this thing. Honestly moving back to be a playstation guy.

Not Fair To Customers

stars-rating-full stars-rating-full stars-rating-full stars-rating-full stars-rating-full
It has come to my attention that Nintendo sends free products to certain people who review them on Youtube. I think this is unfair to every Nintendo fan/customer. Those Youtube reviewers are being paid good money to post their reviews. They can afford to buy the products, and they should have to pay for them just like everybody else. I don't know if Microsoft and Sony do the same thing. I hope not. But I recently bought a game console. I was trying to decide whether to get an XBOX One or a Switch. I decided to buy an XBOX One, and this complaint was one of the reasons why I chose the XBOX. I think that Nintendo should stop giving away free products and or games to reviewers who can easily afford them. Yes, it's true that the reviews are good advertising for Nintendo, but it's not fair to Nintendo's fans/customers who have to spend their hardworking dollars for them,..

Every Company does this (even Xbox). It is a method of marketing.

They send it to reviewers (normally the popular ones) to raise awareness on these product though their review, and since the reviewer was sent the product, they tend to be less harsh in their review.

Reviewers don't beg them to send them one (or normally they don't), but just receive one anyways. So don't be mad at Nintendo, it is just marketing.

Unfair / unreasonable warranty

stars-rating-full stars-rating-full stars-rating-full stars-rating-full stars-rating-full
I bought a set of additional grey joy con controllers for my Switch just shy of a year ago. They were perfect & actually my preffered controllers until about week ago. The LED player indicators stopped working on the joy cons & the locking pins on both controllers don't sit well in the Switch tablet nor the controller attachment anymore, and are liable to slide off. I treat everything I own like gold, especially my Switch. So having said that, I've not abused the controllers in anyway shape or form. No water damage, never dropped them, nothing. This is a manufacture problem. So I called Nintendo today, and went through the procedure with a very respectful girl who was just following orders. The solution was to send the controllers in for repair. $30+ tax & shipping 3-4 week order repair. I said, "this is clearly a manufacturing problem, there's nothing Nintendo can do to wave the fee?" "No I'm sorry, the 1 year warranty is only provided for the console, and not accessories. The controllers are on a 90 day warranty." So it look's like the only new solution is to just buy new joy cons for $70 & eat *** Just another new reason to love Nintendo I guess, it being such a fair company and all. Here are also a few honorable mentions: Being nickel and dimed for everything. Promising a comparable (if not BETTER) library of games like virtual console for 3ds. Having to Re-buy classic games on every new console. Having 90% of the current library of indie games be (justified) utter trash. Having to buy all kinds of DLC crap to make certain games run better. I don't know. Maybe I can learn from Nintendo's dog eat dog eat consumer marketing strategy, it seems to work well for them.

Backwards compatability

stars-rating-full stars-rating-full stars-rating-full stars-rating-full stars-rating-full
So I recently found some of my old DS lite pokemon games after years of not even knowing where they were and out of nostalgia wanted to move my favorite pokemon over to my best save file but was surprised to find that that is now impossible due to the lack of servers or any connectivity between the older DS lite games for that matter. I looked it up and there is now literally no way to transfer any of my old pokemon over between the games without resorting to cheating or hacking the game or wasting money that I could be using to feed and clothe myself on buying the dumb new console and virtual versions of the old games and redo EVERYTHING.. (over 900 hours of my childhood rendered moot, time I will never be able to make up for because I'm an adult now and have responsibilities and cant be playing games 24/7) My suggestion to Nintendo is to, in the future, if they haven't already begun this process, maybe consider making their games able to be completed without the need for wifi? possibly add a bypass mechanic for unlocking things that would require wifi or some other sort of gimmick like that that will be unusable in 5 years, so we don't have to *** our devices and risk corrupting our data just to finish a *** game. (think of the old gameboy versions of pokemon, they can be completed 99.9% aside from mew without the need to cheat at all) Don't forget that some of us hold onto games like that far past the time when they or their successors come out and always come back to them because of the love we have for those games, it's not just a game that you complete and toss aside, waiting for the next one, like call of duty or sadly how the assassins creed series developed after ACIII. I only ask that Nintendo have some respect for the nostalgic old school gamers who have watched the company grow into what it is today and supported it the whole way through. In their attempt to cater to the younger generation, they are forgetting that all ages enjoy their games not just children and it would be sad for this new generation to also face losing all their progress when they grow up. I want to love Nintendo, I really do, I've enjoyed so much of their work for so long but stuff like this, it just makes me sad. Their gimmicks and concepts need to be thoroughly scrutinized to see if they will stand the test of time. I only suggest this because it could be a way to keep customers happy and coming back for generations, and it would just overall improve the company as a whole if their games could stand up strong even after decades (like my old fire red and leaf green versions).

Pros:

subpar game development planning

Preferred solution: just some advice, have a little foresight when coming up with gimmicks in games. Don't make it so that games are unable to be completed once they're out of date, it's maddening and reflects poorly on the company

stars-rating-full stars-rating-full stars-rating-full stars-rating-full stars-rating-full
Bought a 2ds that came with mario kart 7 as a digital download. It was reset and now he doesnt remember his nintendo id and cant get it back. Called customer service twice and emailed support with no resolution other than to kick rocks. Will not be buying anything nintendo again and will stay away from digital downloads because the physical cartridges dont vanish into thin air and make me call nintendo and beg to get them back only to tell me to call back tomorrow and beg some more.

Same here. Nintendo customer service is the worst. I had the same problem when i bought my 2ds back in the day.

Guest

Emailed nintendo twice but never got a response. Called three times and was on the phone for almost 2 hours and was told every time i needed to speak to a manager because managers are the only ones authorized to fix or do anything and conveniently there is never a manager there. Going on almost a month now with still no resolution.

3DS BS

stars-rating-full stars-rating-full stars-rating-full stars-rating-full stars-rating-full
Who knew nintendo would be so non consumer friendly when they released a "NEW" 3ds and gave the system different games then the 3ds. Here I am stuck with a $30 game that my daughter cant use. Toys r us does not do returns on open video games so that means i gave nintendo full price for a game that ill have to give away or take to a game store to sell for a quarter of the price. Was nintendos marketing department on vacation when they came up with sure a impackable NEW name for their product. Such BS nintendo!!

Bait and Switch

I am a Playstation fan but i decided to try the Nintendo Switch Got my switch about a month ago, and I was on the edge between love and hate ever since. The concept is great, and I really liked the idea of being able to take it around and play proper full games on the go..

But to be honest, the execution is a bit of a joke. The first thing I noticed was that the graphics were, to put it nicely, not up to par with the other current generation consoles. Sharp edges, disappointing screen resolution, lagging renders in certain scenes of the new Zelda game... But I put up with it since Breath of the Wild is such an amazing game overall.

Move forwards a few weeks to the release of MK8 for the Switch, and I finally realize that the "on the go gaming" aspect of the console is much less impressive than I hoped for. Two player racing mode is fine, but trying to do 4 players on such a small screen with such a poor resolution makes it nearly impossible to see anything at all. And as far as I can tell, there are no simple HDMI cables to plug in the console to a TV while visiting a friend, so I'd have to carry around the bulky (and very cheaply built) docking station around if I wanted to play 4-player games anywhere but my own living room. And now finally today.

I haven't had a chance to play the Switch in a week or two, and now the console is completely messed up and not holding any charge. Took an hour of playing around turning it on and off and doing factory resets until I could get it to go anywhere past 1% of battery.

Now it charges to 100% much faster than Nintendo says it should, and drops from 100% to 60% of battery in under a minute of playing any game. I jumped through the hoops of making an online account for the Nintendo service center, and when it finally let me enter a serial # I was told they can't help me online and that I'll have to call in to figure out how to schedule a repair.

As someone who enjoys good design and especially good graphic design, pixel art is going nowhere. I think if your goal is to reach the largest amount of people, then that’s the classic ‘lowest common denominator’, the dumbest of dumb, the least thinking and least observant and least inquiring of us.

From a perspective of your wallet, yeah, that’s probably a good decision. But from the perspective of design, it’s absolutely appalling. Good design EDUCATES as well as pleases the eye. If the initial look is off putting to the lowest common denominator, you educate them, must like this article does when it comes to hand-made animation vs.

soulless computer animation (which is mostly what you point out…pixel art, even if you cannot see the pixels is still pixel art…you can do low-color full screen pixel art with no jaggies on a mega HD screen and no one would be the wiser…in fact, Photoshop ONLY makes pixel art because it ONLY exports pixelmaps!) That said, I reiterate; if you truly love this, then you have to respect the audiences point of view and bridge that gap rather than pick one side of the chasm to be on. Real gamers will want to explore all of gaming and the greatest thing that can happen is that artists help build new bridges to enjoy all kinds of aesthetic and styles. For the most part, I would argue that the glutton of bad pixel art in games made by people going after the nostalgia alone of blocky, ugly graphics have saturated the marketplace to reject anything with blocky art and praising anything that doesn’t look like that, even if there’s a clear superiority of what you’ve done with Aura over something like Pixel Dungeons which looks generic as *** I also think that a good portion of it is that people that are making these pixel art games are inbreeding bad information about how to go about making pixel art. I myself have seen nothing but bad advice and tutorials on pixel art, always trying to get people to use very bad tools, do things the hard way, etc.

Which means if it’s hard, then all efforts are wasted in creating a good image and redirected towards the pixel-look side of things, which results in terrible pixel art. For instance, to my knowledge there’s only 2 programs actually _designed_ for giving traditional and digital artists tools for DRAWING in pixel art, complete with palette limitations, dithering options and more being automated into the actual act of drawing on a tablet, which is how all of the best pixel art of the past was made…very little of it was done with a mouse and hand clicking little squares all day. NO ONE should have to do that and NO ONE should be expected to make great art that way except monks making a physical tile mosaic for a temple. So anyone reading this, if you’re not using Pro-Motion or Grafx2, you’re *** doing it wrong, PERIOD.

Pixel art is FUN to make when you have a tablet and software designed for it and the results are 1000x better with 1/100 the effort most people are putting in. There’s a lot of things that could make pixel art be more viable and pretty to look at and more appreciated and education is a huge part of that. As they say in GI Joe, “Knowing is half the battle”.

Spread knowledge, don’t give into the lowest common denominator…if you raise the floor, we all stand a little higher. Regards: eve hunt

Nintendo has gone down hill, it's all about greed, and not about product. The {{Redacted}} at Nintendo can't even keep NES, or SNES, classic in stock anywhere.

They clearly keep low stock everywhere on purpose, to increase demand, and be greedy. I hope their *** company, burns to the {{Redacted}} ground.

Nes classic edition.

I called store after store EVERY single for months trying to buy an NES Classic game console but they were sold out or were expecting a shipment of about 6 or 8 units total. The closest I ever got was at a Target store where I called right before their shipment was received and RUSHED to that store just to see some Scalper buy 5 of them at one time. Wish there was a limit per customer or simply more shipped out. Wish you could buy the console on a website and after paying they make sure that you eventually get one but that makes too much sense. Scalpers are making EVERY experience I have had with buying a Nintendo product in the last decade purely unpleasant. I eventually got online for 6xs the retail price!! Please learn from the past.

Nintendo - Nes Classic Review

stars-rating-full stars-rating-full stars-rating-full stars-rating-full stars-rating-full
To whom it may concern, I have been a Nintendo customer for over 30 years. I have always bought all the new Nintendos, games and accessories from the original NES to the Wii U. I have spent literally thousands and thousands of dollars for myself and my kids on Nintendo products. I even went through the hassle of the Wii supply issue and continued buying Nintendo. I was incredibly excited about the NES Classic coming out as was everyone else in my age bracket. But the supply issue has been a nightmare as you already no. I was second in line at GameStop on release date and the guy in front of me literally bought every single one. Then they started selling online for upward of $500. It is now almost March and you still have not released anymore. Being a district manager for one of the countries largest clothing retailers, I know all about supply and demand. However, what Nintendo did to its faithful consumers is absolutely horrible and without a doubt intentional. For that reason, I saying goodbye. I will not be purchasing any more Nintendo products including the Switch. I will not be buying anymore games or accessories for our currents consoles and handheld gaming systems. And when I am done with my current systems I will be placing them in the garbage so that no one alas in the future will buy any products to play on my old systems. Nintendo will no longer be getting thousands of mybhard earned dollars, not after treating consumers like me in this fashion. Good bye. Patrick Smith

I would also like to express how dissatisfied I am with the limited amount of new products coming out! I really wanted to get the Nintendo Switch but like always there was a very very little amount available. Now people on Ebay and everywhere else wants $200.00 more than it retails for which puts a low income person like me to hard to pay for. I have been saving but all for nothing now! Im disappointed that will not be able to get one now! Why do you do this?

Hate to break it to ya but theres only one good game on the switch and thus it's not worth forking over that type of cash for Breath of the Wild when you can easily play it on the wii u. If you haven't learned it's really not worth trying to get a system day one when it drops due to bugs / issues or having to fight the crowds of all the mouth breathing / windex drinking sheeple who rush to get things, But hey to each their own. I rather wait 6 months after it came out and starts to add more games to it's library aka Splatoon 2 and other awesome games.

Guest

Yes because nintendo should die because YOU cant get a system. As with ANY new electronic device, be it a phone, tablet, or gaming console, you have to PRE ORDER one to get it when it first releases.

If YOU did not PRE ORDER the system then YOU only have yourself and YOUR laziness to blame. Perhaps mommy and daddy didnt teach YOU about SUPPLY AND DEMAND!!! People who have PRE ORDERED the system get it first. After the pre orders are filled THEN the general public gets a shot at purchasing.

NO COMPANY is going to be able to produce enough of ANY electronic device to COMPLETLY fulfill EVERYONES desire to have one. Talk about being a self entitled piece of dung!!!

Are we to understand that YOU are such a special pretty snowflake that YOU should just be given one? Above someone else who HAS paid and placed a pre order??

Insults only prove their point. If you cant respond back with a solid comment why even bother showing that mommy shouldn't let you play on her PC.

You have proven their point that you are a "special snowflake". Probably the kind that wears a helmet so they don't hurt themselves.

Nobody cares about your opinion, you probably work for Nintendo.

Guest

I could not agree more! Nintendo does this to their customers every time!

They bring out a new product, and it will never be in the stores for their customers to get one. They did the same thing with the Nintendo Classic Edition!

Scalpers on Ebay, and Amazon are charging at least double for them, and the Classic has been out since last November, for F sake. Go screw yourself Nintendo, we don't need you!

Guest

The initial hype will die down and you will be able to go into a store and buy it. Just be patient.

Nintendo can go out of business, and it would serve them right.
