@TakGoUp Still sucks that you can't simply buy them, you have to subscribe to Nintendo's stupid online service.

@cryptoshenx @KorokMagical @NintendoAmerica I'm skeptic still. Someone said they didn't believe it could be that bad and bought it and changed their mind because the input lag was so bad >__> Perhaps it's different for different people? Dunno.

@yeralizard We had one we had to send back because of this issue, but usually we just get a new charger and it works. The great thing about Nintendo service though, they are really easy to deal with and pretty quick with their turnaround.

@Sendouc I find it so funny that Nintendo knows this glitch exists but just allows it because god forbid we get rid of the piece of wood leaning against the wall

@KenshinSplatoon mfers are just so mad, that’s not jelly’s fault if nintendo didn’t fix the problem he’s literally free to use it it’s the same as when you have the lead but carry the rainmaker to your spawn, it exists

@angusdantes This went far on a tangent. You're getting into Lewis Galoob Toys, Inc. v. Nintendo of America, Inc. level territory on copyright issues. If you want to discuss copyright with me, we can DM on all tangents so we both don't annoy anyone.

@WrestleKinda This. Even though I could save up for either of the new Xboxes no issue I remember the days of console generation lasting 8-10 years. The OG Nintendo's life cycle really didn't end until mid 93' early 94.

@JoshClarkeDraws @NintendoUK Easy fix, download your save files from the cloud if you have nso. If you don’t, hit transfer save data. Your game downloads can be redownloaded from the e shop at no cost and you get your saves back the same way. Lmk if you need help

one thing I realized is that since I still have all my old Nintendo Power issues from the Gamecube/GBA/Wii/DS era (issues 154-253, March 2002-April 2010), I can go back and read about games and then actually play them!

@steppy This is true. Holidays should show more families coming together playing halo. Nintendo can pull this off, but halo can't. That's a halo problem not a Christmas probably. Maybe 5hey they just need more party game modes

Forspoken ps5 Console Exclusive
(@YaPappy2054557) reported
@Lousaidwat If that's the case why does sony and Nintendo continue to dominate the market? People didnt buy ps2 for crash? People dont buy nintendo for mario? Or xbox for halo ? Look I know xbox games fell off a cliff after the 360 but even they would tell you exclusives matter . BETHESDA NS

@tj_mackey432 Haha that’s definitely worse. Now you’ve tasted it! We just got a Switch recently and I more or less haven’t played it because of issues with the microSD card I bought for it not working. Finally just ordered a Nintendo-licensed one.

@swshriv @NintendoAmerica A dude on Youtube already found the real reason that the drift happens. The solution doesn't require soldering or sending your stuff for "fixing" either. People need to stop wasting time screaming at a company that will never solve this issue and instead do what that dude did.

@SNAFU_Sara @NintendoAmerica If it makes you feel any better Amazon was apparently having issues as well. Fiance got me a new kindle & couldn't get it associated with my account until this afternoon

@timedout04 @seinsmeld76 To be honest the Nintendo p2p is made well. The problem is the fact that there are any kind of connections used to play (quality and different configuration), people could be on the other side of the world, it's indeed for game, the console has not the best connection peripherals

@Enragd_Potato @YamiWitcher @NextGenPlayer I did mention Bethesda Game Studios was making the game right? Not someone reliable like any of the Sony or Nintendo studios, or the dozens of indie studio out there? BGS is well known for.... broken games. I am not hyped.

@Jess_P95 @NintendoUK Joycons can be repaired for free, that’s likely the issue.
