bela 🦋 is playing SSHD
(@gayzeIda) reported
idk why nintendo does this but they change the side character’s names in the german version - in ss they changed fi’s name to phai and you pronounce it like “f-eye” so i never had a problem pronouncing her name like this. also groose for example is called bado in german 🤐

I’m aware that Nintendo’s online is generally trash and it also depends on your own connection, but since beginning my play, it honestly hasn’t been THAT bad; it’s very playable. But the input lag seems to be in a league of its own…idfk dude. 😭

@AlexKemplen @NintendoAmerica All switches share the same hardware problems and this new one is no different. Just buy a cheaper switch or even the steam deck which is a true upgrade.

@hazelshiba its funny because some people around here really like Megaman 3 and like, I thought it was so full of bullshit that even using the cheat features on nintendo switch I was like "yea this isn't worth my time" that's how you know the game's got issues when even cheating doesnt help

@NintendoAmerica can you fix your controllers? all of mine constantly drift, work weirdly, or just don't work

@CornCentinel @d960b79f9851482 @NintendoAmerica Wrong. Emulation is Legal, look it up. Only Nintendo has a problem with Emulation.

I'll be honest, watching Pokemon Unite is absolutely hilarious because of how blatantly broken that game is when you open that wallet for Nintendo to reach their sweaty hands into.

Me
(@Talkable8) reported
@IntroSpecktive People are commenting saying "don't but the Amiibo then" or "emulate" when that isn't the point, my problem is the practice Nintendo is using to sell their games. Emulation shouldn't be the only option, yes I can go the bird statues I did it when I PLAYED THE ORIGINAL. 1/2

This is probably why nintendo even dared having joycons tbh! It’s a big thing but imagine having it bigger but you cant disconnect it 😭

(@TheArtOfToys) reported
@KroegerRene @PokemonUnite The problem is the game needs to be more stable before you can really punish people hard for being afk, because Nintendo has a cheap network and no one buys the network adapter. I rarely disconnect from things because network adapter but it randomly happens to my friends a lot.

@MoonRabbit0209 Also the error code is because you can’t update pirated 3DS games apparently since Nintendo made an update in 2018 to stop that as if the 3DS was even alive in 2018

(@TheShadowHatter) reported
@alex_bonaker @nintendolife Less about wanting the Switch to fail, and more that people are frustrated that the Switch has trouble playing certain games (even games designed for Switch), and so when they don't get the Switch Pro they want and the Steam Deck appeared, they want Nintendo shook to improve.

Bug Catcher Andyblarg
(@Andyblarg) reported
I HAAAAATE JOYCON DRIFT!!! And I really hate how Nintendo refuses to fix the issues and ignores it's a serious thing! And EVEN WORSE? My favorite most comfortable way to play is joycons in each hand to my sides. But because of stupid drift I can't do that. #NintendoSwitch

LeapsofFaith
(@Leapswastaken) reported
@AlexKemplen @NintendoAmerica If you're referring to the joy-con drift issue (where your character starts slowly moving left), that's been an issue since the first switch release and they didn't even go to fix it in the "new" version. They don't care to fix it bc it keeps giving them $60 per controller.

(@SokutoM) reported
@NintendoAmerica Why is it so hard for y’all to make better hardware and console support. Online play has always been trash, Microsoft and Sony always make your consoles look like complete dog **** in terms of hardware. You never support your console, and drifting is still a problem. **** you!

@GENX128 @THEAP99 Roadmap talk has only been used with Xbox and games as a service. Playstation, Nintendo and even Xbox never used these terms. They mean nothing except to those these corporations are trying to convince to invest into the Xbox eco system on promises.

@PokemonUnite Please address the ability to PAY TO WIN. It made this fun game into a big disappointment. This should not be allowed. Nintendo please! Fix this!

(@ALittleBirdRGG) reported
@MissChrystyle True, the only one who is a mainstay is Daisy since they gave her back the skintone and that one N64 OC from Mario golf that never returned. I just don't think a new one is a good idea till Nintendo fixes their problems with the IP

Game Over Thirty
(@GameOverThirty) reported
@Ethan_Einhorn Sure. The thing you have to remember is that the math, at a certain point, swings heavy in favor of subscription. Nintendo, of course, would have to make a serious commitment and upgrade their service infrastructure. That's the part that I see as the "DNA" challenge.
