@signalshift I had the same problem and I was so deflated. It turns out when you drop it in, if the light doesn't flash, pull it back out, blow in it (Nintendo cartridge style) and then try again. They charge consistently 100% of the time now.

@CrzyYoungPsycho @Strider21X @NintendoAmerica Why would you defend them for shopping a broken 60$ product even though they earn billions each year

@LonelyGoomba @SyPoNecroCDi The problem they have is Nintendo insists on making an arcadey game. Assault had some promise and a couple of good stages, but felt unfinished.

Rare & Obscure Home Media Releases

The game had first been released exclusively through the Nintendo Power flash RAM service exclusively in Japan on February 1st, 1998, but thankfully it recieved an actual physical cartridge release one year later, on June 25th, 1999. (which is what you are seeing above.)

I do not at all recommend buying from Nintendo Germany/Europe. I have had issues with them since early February. Worst and slowest customer service. And all my packages got sent in return, because they didn’t include an invoice when shipping with DHL.

@CactuarAllStar @StuffyFlower1 @Shreeveera Except FF wouldn't have existed if it wasn't for the famicon. Problem was that Nintendo didn't have a cd drive and Sqauresoft saw possibilities with 3D animationd and cd storage for bigger games. The other issue was that the u.s didnt have all the nintendo FF released games.

@DevilPhoenix2 This is strange. There must be some technical problem. Nintendo advised us purchases will be possible until March next year for 3DS and WiiU, and downloading already owned titles will continue. The article seemed to keep mixing up DSi and 3DS.

@UlanaDabbs In no particular order Pokemon Sonic Mario Tetris Spider-Man Insomniac Notes: Believe it or not, I've only been a Nintendo fan for 3 years. I wish I could include Zelda. It's a good series, but the only one I was invested in is BotW. Also Crash would be here, but drama says no.

@G4TV the time I went to a Nintendo service center and the guy behind the counter was playing Doom 64. he was holding the center prong with his right hand and using his left hand to poke whatever button he wanted any time he needed to press one. it was very awkward

@MoonScarfDev The way they’re formatted are the problem, not the direct itself. Nintendo presents their games, because it’s *their* games. Yet these kids present the mods of other people instead of modders having the stage. The amount of people I’ve seen become famous from others work is sad.

@CartridgeGames There's only really room for two or three exclusive per platform and I lean towards two, and maybe 5 multiplatform ones can coexist on top of that(not including ones also on mobile), and several mobile ones. Nintendo only really has Splatoon as live service, could fit 1 more.

@NintendoUK My Son has a broken Switch OLED controller! His little brother pulled the Left Joycon control out of the unit? Looked everywhere for the left side in white but can't get it anywhere? Can you help please.

@NintendoAmerica Your website has been messed up ever since you updated it. Why does it show the wrong prices at first and take a second to change to the sale prices? Please fix your website.

Ugh, I’m not going to be able to play Kirby day 1, which isn’t going to be an issue, I don’t have to play games on release, I like to take my time. The annoying part is you know damn well Nintendo Twitter and YouTube is going to spoil everything.

@IGN Already happened. But now we can't access paid content and redownload? Is that the issue or something else? @Nintendo stay anti consumer

@raidonbungeling Bruh my Wii remotes still work. And I've had those ******* since about 2007. I think it's more a problem with modern controllers then just Nintendo but it's greed and laziness all around. The shoulder buttons on my Xbox one controller literally fell off lmao.

(@BrandonNettles9) reported
@TalkandDraw @ASmarterboy That game was made in Japan and it didn't do well in that country, the US and UK because of the limited hardware of Nintendo DS and critics and fans alike knew it wasn't going to succeed and it failed, plus it's not mentioned the new version of Crash Bandicoot from Activision.

@reddogjamie The problem with Zelda is that it went from being pioneering to plagiarising over the course of 30 years. Nintendo were so busy being all clever with fan service and homage, they forgot what made Zelda exciting: exploration, danger, mystery.

@MAGNEDETH The control issue can easily be fixed given that the Switch has dual sticks. As for Sakurai... maybe, but Nintendo have been known to outsource remasters/remakes too.

@jaywalkrmusic @C_Bass365 Nintendo could patch the glitch easily,same with the cheaters in balloon world. I know fixing code is hard but they are the richest company in Japan, I bet they could polish a small competitive portion of one of the best games ever made.
