GB Studio Central
(@gbs_central) reported
So I’d like to Quote Tweet my excitement at the Nintendo Direct announcement about Game Boy games being on the switch, but Twitter is broken right now. Just imagine it if you will. Pretty hyped.

So we all saw it: Twitter was successfully broken by the combined power of a Nintendo Direct and El's own ineptitude.

@PhoenixLand2 @NintendoAmerica not super up to date on emulators so thank you for further detouring people from paying nintendo for a bad service

Anyway, pretty good Nintendo Direct, eh? Although as I said in a tweet that Broken Twitter probably ate, if that RP British voice was supposed to be Zelda then I rebuke it. I don't care if she is literally a Princess, she does not deserve that.

@PS1Voldemort @NintendoAmerica they turned the minecart glitch into an actual feature 💀💀💀

@Qwerty_Soda Seems like it un-f****d itself. Right as the Nintendo Direct ended. And it started to give problems right before its start. Feared they couldn't handle the traffic? 🤨 Either that, or that's a huge coincidence if I've ever seen one.

@NintendoAmerica Need I mentioned about the infamous Joy Con Drift, recent games like Pokemon Scarlet & Violet having tecnical issues, & the Nintendo Switch Online service being a poor replacement of past Nintendo console's Virtual Console feature?

You know maybe Nintendo wouldn’t be having so much trouble with Metroid Prime 4 if they weren’t focused on remaking prime 1

@GamingBoy256 @NintendoAmerica I'm honestly kinda surprised that Sonic Advance isn't on the service considering Genesis games are on it

@NintendoAmerica This is going to be a Xenoblade 3 Speacial Edition issue all over again

I like to think this Twitter outage is to prevent annoying Nintendo fanboys from flooding people's feeds with Direct stuff, but a) that would be underestimating the drive of Nintendo fanboys, b) I know Mr. Musketeer ain't nearly based enough to try that.

Nintendo Direct knew it was going to blow up Twitter so Twitter just blew itself up to save Nintendo the trouble.

Twitter not working during a nintendo direct should be a criminal offense

Nintendo really just keeps trying to get everyone to pay more for their awful service with nostalgia

Notice how the direct has ended and the new limits aren't bugged. Perhaps they were just bugged. Perhaps it was just broken because of site traffic due to the Nintendo direct. PERHAPS. Maybe. It was throttled intentionally so the site didn't just explode with direct traffic.

The only things that mattered on Nintendo direct: - Splatoon 3 DLC (AT LAST!!!) - more info on Dangan’s 3rd, Raincode~! - Gameboy color & advance games joining Nintendo online service!!! (Though they need better games. HOW IS SONIC ADVANCE NOT THERE?!?!) #NintendoDirect

(@ILM126) reported
@kyhwana That was a weird bug when Twitter borked (maybe apparently due to the Nintendo Direct, tho I guess the bar to break Twitter is lower now. Since apparently today's announcements were mid and the last time it caused a crash was Steve being added to Smash Bros)

@jmoriboy i wonder if twitter turned off tweeting on purpose so that the nintendo direct doesn't lag the site

Was this outage because of the Nintendo Direct? It was oddly timed

(@im_a_blisy) reported
while I think it's cool that Nintendo does actually rerelease old games on switches emulator, it is really frustrating they Disney vault them to release once every 5 years in like, waves? and then only release them in packs for this booboo *** online service. give me vc pls.

@YuushakunVT oh, you also had that problem? I tried replying to you at some point and it just blocked me... took me a while to find a workaround and the direct was over already 😢My theory: their servers got overwhelmed by Nintendo direct tweets 'cuz musk probably reduced them to save money.
