btw can we also acknowledge nintendo refusing to let you remap buttons on official controls other than joycon and the pro controller is kinda a huge accessibility issue as well? like it is inconvenient for others, but for some it could potentially make some games unplayable.

This nintendo situation just proves that piracy is, ultimately, a service issue than a cost issue. I would gladly pay like 50 gbp a year to run a software on par with retroarch on my switch. But the emulator nintendo are selling ******* sucks.

@AliceMoon1877 @JoeMerrick If Apriballs were a prize for these competitons there would also be more interest since Nintendo never gave us a good legit way to get them in-game that didn’t have broken odds

@GhostRobo @BeatemupsWood should i wait to buy the Nintendo Online Expansion pass and just buy the Animal Crossing DLC or should i hope they fix the emulation ? #NintendoSwitchOnline

Bugsnax is definitely a Nintendo-esk game. Not saying it’s good. But Nintendo gamers would give it more of a chance. Not a fan of FNAF. So didn’t pay attention. Kartrider Drift - Could be fun. Not enough gameplay scene to know. First Class Trouble - 3D Among Us…yeah… no.

@CSA0905 Sixty. US. Dollars. And THAT'S what Nintendo delivers. That SHOULD have been noticed during testing! And even IF they didn't have time to fix it for NSO N64's launch, they could have GIVEN themselves time by giving us Yoshi's Story LATER! It's just such a transparent cashgrab.

@Devil_pup_Z_8 Bro the only issue is nintendo Xbox and Playstation not yet agreeing to add cross progression due to them now losing a loyal customer on their platform its gonna take a bit but since EA is a multi billion dollar company it will find a way just not fast as it's only interest is $

@PowerA I bought one of your Nintendo switch wired pro controllers and after 5 months the left control stick inputs completely down when it is in neutral position is there a way to fix it or not

@NintendoAmerica Y'all wouldn't be bragging about your rom list down in the replies unless the N64 emulator had 0 problems, and the package was less than 50-ish :P instead demand Nintendo to fix this crap :V cuz this is blasphemous

Currently, when starting Pikmin Bloom with a Nintendo Account, you won’t be able to link it with any login methods used for other Niantic games.

@NintendoAmerica Please fix your online service. Games are great, but we NEED an update on overall service. Like Voice Chat should be available on all online play games.

@amazon very disappointed in your customer service - bought a voucher for a child’s birthday present which says is compatible with Nintendo Switch and isn’t !! You cannot give me a refund and have asked me to contact Microsoft?

@markl1109 @NintendoAmerica True. But those games costs a lot more. Plus the ****** online experience in some games, and, aparently, performance issues with the emulated games. If we're going to pay more we need MORE and BETTER online experience and quality performance on every game. The old nintendo seal.

@NintendoAmerica Your terrible service isn't even worth $20, I'm not paying more than double for a few ancient, poorly emulated ROMs.

@scully1888 @JackHarteveld I've probably not played enough UltraHLE to see every bug, but I did play it a fair bit recently. It ran pretty well and didn't have needless extra input lag, on a P2 and a Voodoo1. My point is that Nintendo needs to do better, if it wasn't clear enough.

@bradgallaway I can't even follow what you just said. I got review codes for the Australian eshop, so I made an Australian Nintendo account to download them. I've never had a problem playing the games with my US-linked profile before.

@LuigiBlood On one hand I feel the reactions are a bit too much, as long as I can finish every game in NSO, like you said, I'm fine with it. On the other hand these reactions might just signal Nintendo to fix their emulators in an update. So I'm not sure how to feel basically.

@crowns_dev @crowns_dev I downloaded the game in my Nintendo switch. There are some file errors that affect my gaming experience, especially the game suddenly closes by itself due to file error. And I have to restart the game each time and save every single minute 💔 please fix the issue

@juicebox988 @NintendoAmerica your phone can most likely run any of the games nintendo offers in the online service easily, it is also not that hard to do a quick google background check of a website before you trust it
