@RogersBase They better have the Super Famicon colored buttons on the Super Nintendo Switch Joycons or we're gonna have a problem

@EatTheHype Nintendo has been known to pull off the unheard of with forward thinking innovation (lag-free gamepad video signal beaming, IR+gyro motion, glasses-free 3D). What crazy tech magic would Nintendo need to tap into/invent (sans-DLSS) to make the Super Switch upscale 4K via its dock?

Deadass just had to call nintendo customer service and tell them the user name i made when i was 13 was "sonic08"...

@ddee_ssbu I do think the language argument is compelling, but not enough to outright ban the character. At this point it's really something Nintendo needs to be the one to fix.

@RoseFromTheAshs I do get that tbh but there's something about the Switch I'm use to about the design. But I'd say for the Pro Nintendo's not going to want to detract from the 4K selling point. but if wires are an issue for the Pro add Bluetooth and we can use our wireless earphones.

@RoseFromTheAshs I’m sure Nintendo will find some way to make the switch have an issue with that. I mean the switch supports Bluetooth but we can’t use Bluetooth headphones. Im trying to hate on Nintendo or anything, just trying to say that the opposite of what we think will happen, happens.

@Optimus_Code My issue with Jim Ryan is this push to put PlayStation Exclusives on PC. Why follow MS's mindset & lose what defines their consoles. Nintendo doesn't do this as they know their consoles won't sell. Microsoft does this, their consoles don't sell. This will hurt them in the future

when I was 13, I discovered an "Unlimited Money" Glitch in the Matrix my local Kmart had a bargain bin of Nintendo DS games I'd rip em out of their boxes, stuff em under my hat, then walk out then Id sell the games to Gamestop across the street the Original "Retail Arbitrage"

Nintendo called me to tell me they had to delete my AC island to fix my switch and It is ridiculous how badly I am taking it

Anyone with a Nintendo switch suddenly have a broken internet connection? I *know* that my internet is functional and I even went through some troubleshooting steps.

This means Nintendo figured out all of these needs when they created the Switch, and we weren't even noticing. The entire set up used takes care of any problems I could think of.

It just seems like free money sitting on the table, from my view - maybe the port for FFT would be difficult, but Nintendo literally already has the platform for SNES Online with SMRPG. Hell, sell the game separately like you did Fire Emblem if licensing is an issue.

@diceb0mb To be fair, Northern Cave is easily fixable since it can just be removed and replaced by Kalos. For Hero yeah I do agree that his command list needs a fix so it can have icons display like Shulk’s. Sadly though, there’s not much TOS can do about that without talking to Nintendo

@WizCoPow You're right, never attack someone for wanting to buy or liking whatever they want. I understand the frustration aimed at Nintendo on this one particular issue, as long as people express there concerns without the 'keyboard warrior' hate attached!

@MysticMsa3d @CartridgeGames If Nintendo and MSFT weren’t paying big money, there wouldn’t be an E3. And without E3, they would be relying on their own channels to push information to the public, which is something that MSFT specifically isn’t very good at. Nintendo’s issue is more that they need families.

@Radshyguy yeah i don't really have thoughts on northern cave getting banned i just think nintendo should do the obvious fix to hero's glaring design flaw

Hey, have you guys got SpongeBob: Krusty Cook-Off for Nintendo Switch? I sure have. I played it at the pancake level and when I tried level 40, I have to get 50 likes when I have 24 customers. What the heck? That's an unfair bug. And also, when will the dev ever gonna fix that?

@Charalanahzard And therein lies the problem with not only Nintendo, but the new hyper-consumerist culture in general, these companies will not improve their business practices until people stop settling for less, this tweet is a lowkey yikes.

@daimon_shaw @ThePurificators @SylveonAlcremie I wouldn't say this is a Nintendo issue. I do see them doing sales every so often. This is more of an issue on the Pokemon company. TBH, I've only bought 2 pokemon games new. The rest where all second hand.

@ActionJaxonH @AndreSegers Problem is there are no home consoles in that pic, and since Nintendo kind of considers this their Wii U home console replacement you need those numbers too. Also, Switch is a hybrid, or tribrid, first of it's kind, so previous numbers for other console types may not matter.🤷

@Nin_SmashBros To be honest Mr. Sakurai this is hardly scratching the surface, because Nintendo has a abhorrent track record of seeing reasons to issue Cease and Desist orders that cost money to have written when scooping up the talented people that do some of these ideas can easily....

@konekorai @NintendoAmerica Ok yea the scalper thing is a huge problem if you like the figure and i agree that nintendo should do something about that. As for the warping in and out of dungeons, I feel like there are very few instances where you'd actually use that feature
