@bee__witched I remember playing a broken copy of Pokémon Emerald on it (couldn't save, so when I had to turn it off, I had to start over again) I always liked having a Nintendo, had a GBA Micro as well

In the past month I've had to call Nintendo's help line twice and I don't know if I received @NintendoAmerica or @NintendoCanada when I called, but regardless, the service was excellent, both times. Gotta give credit where it's due.

Excuse me @NintendoAmerica there's a mistake on the #NintendoSwitch #eshop. #EpicDumpsterBear from @LogGamesLtd is not on the Featured page. This is OBVIOUSLY some sort of oversight. Please fix this ASAP. Thanks.

So it'd likely be a server owned by the AAA publisher, owned by the platform holder(Sony, Nintendo, MS) or, even more likely, leased by one of the above and residing on a Amazon, Azure(MS) or Google cloud service. That hosting ain't free.

Someone sent me a friend request on Nintendo Switch last night at 11:06 pm ET. Their gamertag is ''Jamilla'', and their play time includes 595 hours of YouTube, 4 hours of Crash Bandicoot N. Sane Trilogy, and 1 hour each of 3 other games. Who is this?

Opened up my Switch OLED for the first time since purchasing it months ago and it looks gorgeous. HOWEVER, it looks like there's an issue with the screen popping out so.... Nintendo got some 'splanning to do.

@writersflood My only issue with nintendo hardware is it's not good enough for the projects they develop for it. I can accept "worse" graphics, but I would love to see steady framerates. They can get really damn rough at times

i know i’m talking about the gaming public here, and it’s probably actually an issue of thinking ubisoft is one of the “bad AAA companies” and nintendo being a good one, though, which is why i’m tweeting this and not trying to convince anyone

@NintendoAmerica bought a brand new switch a month ago, and now I have joy con drift. I wanna be able to play Mario kart (mind you a 5 year old game) without drifting to the left or right constantly. Please fix your **** before you sell it.

@Andrew_Reiner Great console, but it's held back by some dumb decisions on Nintendo's part. (extortionate online expansion pricing, the way they're handling "games as a service", legacy content being worse than on Wii/3DS/U, and of course, the damn drift)

@younghavok @mobiletortoise @Stealth40k History tells that it wasn’t the Wii U that put Nintendo in red around 2014-15, it was the 3DS and its high price at launch. The only problem with the Wii U was that it didn’t make enough money to save Nintendo going red.

@forestillusion Pictures of people should be deleted entirely. If this guy is still working at Nintendo, he could get in trouble.

@pirannaplant @Justins_Gaming_ Right. If you wanna “own” it? You’ll have to shill out $100+ If you wait, Nintendo might make you pay $50/yr or more for a subscription service to play it. Best option? A cheap laptop.

@OldClassicGamer @Cheesy_Storm It is good to fight back against something, but I feel it'd be only good to do that if it's not going to cause financial problems for the party fighting back, considering the Nintendo lawsuits we've seen

@MisterAddons The issue why it lacked major franchises - Nintendo held many developers captive with contracts.

@marlisjun Not really surprising considering nintendo is huge there, and Sony is also Japanese. Japan has always been a problematic market for xbox. Whether it is the countrys preference to play handhelds, the lack of eastern titles or something else that's the least of Xbox's problems rn

I wonder if people know Nintendo is not gonna release more ACNH content. Like, I'm sorry to break it to you but they are not gonna add more features, they will fix bugs and maybe release a silly item from time to time but they are clearly at the maintenance phase of the project

@forestminish did you write a article for Nintendo Force magazine? I got the latest issue in the mail today and I was reading the article about Zelda a link to the past.

I don’t think demanding better from Nintendo’s centralized services does enough in this case though It’s the whole issue of player and game data and how big publishers fumble the bag with the modding community at large

@BeardedsSean @ComplexMinded Hopefully people wait to buy ark 2 and then when it's broken, wildcard will go bankrupt. There's no excuse for creating a game as buggy as ark, selling the nintendo switch version, prim+, and any other ways wildcard uses to rip off their player base.

But HOW have FIVE #Nintendo-brand controllers of my mother's broken since just late March 2020? And two of them within 14 hours or so of each other?? It doesn't make sense. They cost $90 each. I've gone through three VERY crappy $30 controllers for PC in SEVEN years.

@RebelTaxi @YouTube @TeamYouTube One of my videos had the same thing about a Nintendo I made at the end 2020, for some reason it was 18+ for absolutely no reason, there was nothing about it that was 18+, thankfully they fixed that issue. but man they need to do a better job

Nintendo should move the nes and snes games to the expansion pass or, give u the option to buy the online service by itself for less cost, while also decreasing the price for the expansion pass cause paying for it isnt really worth it for a couple n64 games that run horribly
-

(@darkrai848) reported
@IntroSpecktive They can’t even release decent online services and have problems with N64 emulators that fans could fix. It would take 20 years before Nintendo would even have an infrastructure that could support NFT’s. Don’t get me wrong I love there games and systems, but there online sucks.

(@javierortiz82) reported
@EightBitWarrior @_jandroid_ @AlphaOmegaSin It was the most complete and feature rich they’ve made to this day, the poor switch can’t even pair some Bluetooth headphones without issue, no vc, horrible flawed controllers. The Wii U had a solid library as well, so good that Nintendo’s been milking it for the switch.

@_flowerbrsh Do you have any idea the percentage of splatoon players that would be kicked for lag issues? It is a well established fact nintendo switch users often have the worst internet of any other major console users
