2 years of owning Switch and most of the issues nintendo fans have are nonexistent to me.

SPOOKY SWORDIE 💀 520/1000
(@milkybois) reported
I quickly did some detective work about this big guy at Nintendo having stomach problems before boarding the plane, and how two huge flood suddenly arriving and ending the world just like that conveniently happened after the guy ate this "forbidden fruit" (according to him)

@Jayarrpee @NintendoUK They'll probably fix that. Remakes aren't just a copy of the original, they're meant to improve on the original.

@EverythingOutOC Nintendo is cruel and would crash if not for Mario

Dear Nintendo, how about an actual date for the launch of the N64 and Genesis libraries? I NEED MY FIX AND TOO LAZY TO HOOK UP THE ACTUAL CONSOLES.

@ZachHan33039748 @DizziDork @monsterhunter I think nintendo is the problem Technically i cant even imagine one reason why that wouldnt work at all

@lunanoko I said this earlier, I got no issue with pirating Nintendo but WHY are major publications talking about it days after the game came out

@GamingWarlord64 @NintendoAmerica Because there would be 6 Pokémon following you in this area, not just one, the areas where only one Pokémon follows you (99% of the game) wouldn’t have this problem

@PcollectorPs As ever, "emulation" is not a problem in and of itself. It's the owning of ROMs that in every legal sense are not ours (and I say ours because I have a ton of them) to own. Whether or not Nintendo would profit is no justification. However.... 1/2

@sumirenesoberi its a problem with the switch because nintendo sucks at approving updates for games

@tsundika @NintendoAmerica Yes but BDSP isn't being made my a major company. GF not working on it is better because otherwise we would end up with worse visuals comparable to SS

@tomathius The problem is *everything* has to be on schedule. The games, anime, TCG, manga, merchandise, etc. If Ishihara just said "**** it, let's give Game Freak & ILCA some delay time", maybe the games wouldn't be so mediocre. Some quality control from Nintendo wouldn't hurt, either.

(@JoGribbin) reported
imo one of the big problems with Nintendo's handling of the franchise in the past has been attempts to awkwardly shift Metroid into something it's not (a multiplayer shooter, a linear narrative-based game, a co-op 3DS game etc.)

@Shiori_Ishimaru What are the issues, was thinking of getting it but if accessibility a big issue I might skip, not surprised tbh with Nintendo.

(@panstepp) reported
@ajsax64 Honestly though why is no exp s. toggle an issue it removes hours of grinding, causes literally no issue that isn’t easily fixed (box a pokemon lol its not like you have to go to a pokemon centre anymore) and makes the game more appealing to it’s actual key demo acc.2 nintendo

Donkey Kong is the hardest game in the entire universe. @NintendoAmerica better pay for my broken controller.

@asphalt Cool. But please reply to this tweet. There is a serious issue with the Nintendo switch version since update and I can’t really play and neither can anyone else because of low frame rate and I will not be able to progress in my platinum position because of it. Please fix A.S.A.P.

@Ruleof2Review tbf didn't nintendo try to remove the primes from the timeline to make it make sense? She literally says something about not working for the GF prior to this which is just blatantly wrong. Idk it just fits in such a weird part of the timeline if at all

@snarkysunbro @NintendoAmerica I do, but it’s that this specifically not only isn’t worth it to me, it’s also totally egregious imo as the service is barely (but probably actually not) worth the $20 they already charge

@nintendolife People gotta realize that the Nintendo Switch Online service will collapse; and that the Super Mario 64 version in 3D all stars will still be around when it's not.

@qwilman @Sodakick I don't disagree, but it seems like in this case, this isn't a problem with Nintendo (for once) but Mercury Steam specifically.

@FalKoopa_ Wonder what will happen when Nintendo eventually sends a cease and desist letter to the people behind Yuzu, I’m sure the ROMs will still be around but they probably don’t want the trouble of that legal nightmare

(@JoyfactoryS) reported
@NintendoAmerica I wa t to own one, but I cant. Its all Sold out for no apparent reason. Maybe it's because of those Cryptocurrency Miners, Buying bulk Quantities to mine in-game Content and sell it for Profit. Here's the Problem with Cryptocurrency Mining: Its a waste of Time.

@NinEverything A big problem for Nintendo is not crediting the studios that they work with. Nobody calls Metroid Dread a Mercury Steam game. We call it a Nintendo game because most people don't even know other companies besides Nintendo work on these games.

@PrritoGamer @ModernVintageG This particular case is an issue with Mercury Steam, not Sakurai or Nintendo.

@stitchlips2000 @TheNCSmaster Miyamoto has the ip hostage with that stupid *** mentality. I'm sure is Nintendo really thought the series needed sales they would have tried to work around it. But for now all we have to do is hope Nintendo can keep track on how many play F-Zero X via the N64 Switch service

@leonkiriliuk @ModernVintageG @RapidPilot2 There are exceptions to the rule (the Gigaleaks proved that Nintendo are basically data hoarders), but it's definitely fair to say that collectors and hobbyists doing preservation work have saved us from numerous disasters. Emulation isn't the problem here.

@IncubusMarble There is an obscure game for Nintendo that was recently put on their online service called Nightshade. It's a... weird detective / superhero story that has a lot of funny jokes/puns and it's kind of point and click with action/puzzle solving elements. Maybe check YouTube gameplay
