@NintendoAmerica hopefully they'll be lucky to load into a race before the trial is over, almost as bad as the input lag in ultimate in making the game unplayable

@SedewCoder @NintendoAmerica Yeah, since there done with major updates, they can do minor update(one bug fix (3.01) doesn’t count as a minor update) or paid dlc for the game, or they can announce Mario maker 3 in 2021 to start the year off right

@carb_gaming @Colteastwood Yes the lack of downloading to pc is a huge disadvantage but you can still play on pc. They all have live service and outside Nintendo because it’s so cheap they’re all dumb. Also on pc MS needs to be better there launcher Jesus how is it so far behind everyone else

@techheck4 @Colteastwood Sony's streaming is nothing like xCloud and they don't let you download games to your PC. Xbox does have a second streaming service like what PS has, but that also have xCloud. I play on PC, Xbox, PS, and Nintendo. All consoles have "live" services.

@MitchTwitrKD Well the transfer device was an SD card. The problem was that Nintendo didn't bother to fix the issue with launch model Wii consoles. The pikmin packed up my Wii data and vanished. The Wii U detected no pikmin escorts

@MrSaints619 During (Crash of the Titans & Mind over Mutant) era, the Crash Bandicoot IP & Spyro was unfortunately bought by (Activi$ion)....... it is just as bad when Microsoft bought Rareware from Nintendo..... luckily Activision never got Rare at least, but they got Crash & Spyro sadly.

2020 was so shitty but nintendo could fix that by announcing that all zelda games will be ported for the switch at the low low price of 69¢

I love when people say what Nintendo "needs" to do, as tho the switch isn't the best selling console for like 25 straight months. I'd love to see Nintendo fix/improve a lot, but they don't need to do anything

@TheGoldminor27 Banjo-Kazooie and Blast Corps. were briefly listed as releasing on the Wii U's virtual console today. Nintendo later clarified that it was an error.

@ZiggyDom @RedMakuzawa @ZhugeEX 3 year development time is normal for games. We don't need another Cyberpunk 2077 situation where they show us all the epic footage that turns out to be fake & a broken mess of a game. Platinum can show us the game when it's ready 3 months before release like how Nintendo does.

@tempurmental @Tracker_TD My guess is to address photosensitivity issues for games with a lot of flashing in them. Dimming the whole screen may have been Nintendo's way of making the flashing in NES games less harsh.

Panicked last night when my Nintendo Switch was giving me an error that the SD card was corrupt and I thought my stupid imaginary island I built the last 6 months (Cahn Cove) with all my little animal friends was going to be erased. I’ll be turning 35 in April btw

@evolagenda @biancababygames @nintendolife Nintendo have to draw a line. They have to be rigorous. As soon as they allow just a little bit, it’s already a slippery slope. S now whenever they have to go to court, they will have a stronger case against anyone that broke their terms of service. Use your logic 🤡

@motoridersd I have to say, I sent the Joy cons back last week for repair of the drift issue and there was less than 2 days turnaround and they're already on their way back. So from a service standpoint it seems nintendo know the controller issue is a major ****-up.

@MrSaints619 Look at ''Mario or even Sonic'' (Nintendo and Sega) have used the same models for the plumber and the Hedgehog for years now, why couldn't they do the same thing with Crash? Having a standard Bandicoot design would have been easier instead of giving redisign every single titles.
