  @Bluestoise_ @pory_leeks If you login to your Nintendo account and link your switch/3ds wallet you can still buy things on the 3ds by adding to your switch wallet

  @TerminatorJuice That you can hack it. Nintendo fixed the issue in Switch consoles released after June 2018.

  I do have a battery backup that keeps the router, the nintendo switch and the pc on so it did save my progress and did not disconnect/count it as a loss, but yeah...that was close

  @EAHelp how do I play Fifa 2023 online on the Nintendo Switch? I've got a EA login etc but there is no option to login. Keep getting error message unable to login. The Switch is connected to the Internet.

  fought my exhaustion to play salmon run so i could have SOME reunion with charger. but i guess nintendo doesn’t want that bc i had severe connection issues (dc’d every game after 20 seconds of instability)

  So I took my father in law's Nintendo Switch pro controller he hasn't used in several years for myself and predictably it was dead. Plugged it into wall, synced it up, let it charge overnight, still dead and won't work without a power cord. Anyone know how to fix this?

  @pkdesuwu @Genshinmem Okay lets say genshin on nintendo has the same spec as the mobile one, genshin on my phone uses 20 something gb and switch has 32 gb of storage without sd card, i agree with u switch cant handle genshin but its not a storage issue its a graphic issues and system issue

  @Carl_Sagan42 Well, you did deliberately crash the game... many times. Nintendo can be heavy handed, but this ain't it ;-)

  @famicomplicated Knowing Nintendo it's probably a silly bug that makes the OS apps run at handheld APU frequency even when docked. Cache would speed it up though right? Maybe that's the problem, it doesn't cache anything.

  @GeorgeCrudo PSA: despite what anyone thinks or decides to be trivial over, this was already decided long ago. By several sources. Hundreds. Metacritic. Game Informer. IGN. Nintendo themselves. The answer is OoT. Any other answer is merely fan service and/or not accepting the actual truth.

  I love how nintendo's absolutely terrible online is so bad that it will disconnect you from a game/match,then blame YOU for disconnecting/unstable connection. And on top of that,they will also temporarily ban you from online for a short period of time. Nintendo sucks.

  I am never going to @UniStudios ever again. You really made another ride where people with a 40inch+ waist line can not ride your ride? **** no I am done with this. @NintendoAmerica how did you let this happen? @Disneyland never had any problems like this.

  @TLGDoesThings Thanks for the info. Glad it's an easy fix. Still annoyed it's this big of an issue in the first place. Won't pay $20 for replacement sticks for an already expensive controller with a serious design flaw. Nintendo can eat it and fix mine for free per the class action lawsuit.

  @PyreLoop do you really think I dont know how exploitive gacha is? yeah it is but what I'm saying yall are making it a huge problem that you need to link it a nintendo account (when most, if not all, have by now) and then delete the game.

  Yes, complain because it's a bad thing, but i don't see the necesity to remark it like Nintendo biggest problem or "Nintendo it's a villain for this" like before, idk man i see it like that

  @TheMassey2 The only one I ever used in Pokemon: Yellow Version was the Cerulean City "Mew" glitch. Which I'm relieved to see still works even in the Nintendo E-Shop releases of Pokemon: Red/Blue/Yellow Version.

  @HBOMaxHelp You know what, please do, I really mean it when I say a Nintendo Switch app, as obtuse as it may be too settle with Nintendo, would be a killer way to maximize the console and give customers a reason to pay for your service, the use car of the console makes it a great mix.

  @scorchedprince Oof, I mean yeah 4 years of devoted use is a while but with how sturdy they feel I'd expect them to last longer. I feel like Nintendo controllers haven't had this many issues since the N64 controller

  However I'm sure even with this way of doing it, once Pokemon Bank eventually shuts down for good, people will still white knight Nintendo & Game Freak's shutting down of a service that should have not been like this in the first place, saying "should have downloaded it earlier."
