@LoudCartoonist @MugenSonic Ok,I get it, but does the campany deserve to pay 50 mil yen? In my view, this is the problem with this case. What Nintendo asks is exaggerated.

@MugenSonic F you Nintendo. Instead of suing every fan out there why don’t you finally fix the drifting issues with your joy cons and get a Metroid title out already.

Get things trending, even try to genuinely communicate with Nintendo the issue. However, replying to the media manager does not help, honestly it's likely stressing out a hard working employee(s) that can't control higher up decisions.

@_justadoggo @lightskkn @NintendoUK Nope, they didn't fix that.

@shahzarkhan_ Basically there’s no way around it. Just keep your Switch as clean as possible to try to prevent that debris buildup on the joystick. If it happens you send your joycons or Switch to Nintendo and they’ll fix it or you can buy some online and follow a guide to replace them.

@Reddestroyer81 Me neither, considering how Nintendo is bug patches nowadays. (Can't have any fun exploits in Mario Maker, noooooo.) I'd like to believe they left the Minus World in the game because they wanted to respect its legendary status. But they probably just didn't know how to fix it.

Solve all your problems by spending a bonkers amount of money on a Nintendo switch lite and the accompanying games? Could not be me.

@Superstar64SS @NintendoAmerica Jesus you nintendo fans need to shut the hell up, issues come up and sometimes it can't be helped, they're probably trying their best to keep things running and keep services up and all you do is call them a **** company when something ***** up. You guys are the worst fans.

@brandywhitley1 @NintendoAmerica Oh screw off. Issues like this is not a reason to return it. Christmas always overload servers and things go wrong. Returning it cause of this is asinine. Your kid will be able to enjoy it once this is fixed. You're a bad parent

Just a little food for thought yes we should be expressing our problems with companies and their scummy moves. Yes Nintendo as a company should be called out for shitty decisions. However, a lot of people don't understand the concept of time and place.

@CConceptCreator @NintendoUK Lol can’t help myself haha. Sad thing is, this issue applies to every single game on the Nintendo Store. If you don’t have a physical copy of the game, you can forget using the switch this Christmas. Sad times!

@shahzarkhan_ I’m really surprised they didn’t fix the issue for the Lite but Nintendo is gonna Nintendo.

@NintendoAmerica I guess I got Hyrule Warriors from E-shop yesterday just before this happened. I buy all my games from the e-shop and never had a problem. Most likely a christmas day server overload from so many people getting Switches and e-shop cards?

I'm still thinking about the fact that @Nintendo, @NintendoAmerica stalked and intimidated at least 1 person who had hacked some of their hardware. They spent time, personnel, money, effort, etc all to stop someone who was doing them a service (essentially) for free!

@JammyKSA @vrgeta3201 Came here to say this exact thing. Nobody cares about other companies right now, this is specifically a thread discussing the issues about Nintendo.

@MugenSonic My only problem with this is that it only happens to small businesses that are most likely started by fan artist who make their own stuff but may loosely use a nintendo character , while bigger businesses who straight rip off nintendo get away with it.

@MrToastyGuy @Captain_Blue2 @MugenSonic There in lies the issue, Nintendo has been very reluctant to license their properties. This sort of thing is exactly why Nintendo needs to handle licensing their properties better.

I found it funny that yesterday the Nintendo switch eshop was basically broken because so many people got switches or got games for it

You can’t pair a new switch to twitter anymore because Twitter disabled that and Nintendo didn’t fix it...? That’s idiotic
