EMBARRASSING: So the ping glitch was not my Switch or Epic or Nintendo. For some reason I was being put on Middle East servers. @SIR_N3D1 and I were laughing so hard!

@carb_gaming @IGN I mean. Nintendo “tried” but I have similar issues to you. I wanted to love my PSVR but the set up and specs just gave me consistent headaches. Maybe someday the tech will be more where it needs to be for someone with my level of motion sickness.

@mattyglesias This is like saying Nintendo has an antitrust issue with app access to the Switch.

@ImpossibleScott @Meddle98 @DaveOshry yeah the number of games aren't the issue. it's the quality. i had this exact problem with the Nintendo's witch when it came out. thousands of games. but all of them were worse then the games you saw on youtube ads ;-;

@tombstonelover Undersharing and oversharing are really common in today's world but really I think Nintendo's lack of communication with game releases is not among their biggest problems, their communication PAST that though is horrid and unforgivable though

@semiautomvtic I already sold off a few years ago and bought a Nintendo switch and a few electronics testing gear sooo i'm out 🤷 but good luck to the rest of you 👍 The big problem you are gonna have if you don't live in the US is finding somewhere to sell your coins >__<

before you say “your internet is just **** water” no, it’s not, my Xbox, laptop, Nintendo switch, and phone all can stream and play games and join parties with NO issues at all, then, yesterday night, I decided to give the PS4 some time, maybe it’ll fix itself, nope, it got worse

I know Nintendo's going to stick with the "Gladion forgives Lusamine too" idea, but it doesn't gel with his character as well as Lillie's, and the Aether Foundation itself is a problem that is never fully addressed. (14/15)

@dankthemanc @GrumpyMark01 @dannyyoung35 biggest problem was their own fault, having their own memory cards instead of sd like nintendo

thing for nintendo to do- quite frankly, scummy, but it makes it so that we can have much more old games- and did i forget to mention, a ******* virtual console? yeah. BUT. We have another issue. With people buying so many virtual console games, I don't think they will have room

@ValveNewsNetwor ITT people upset that Nintendo protects their IP from illegal usage and stops people from profiting off their IP. Not mentioned enough is the incredible problems with their internet infrastructure, nor their lack of engagement with streaming/esports/speedrunning.

@SlideBrain Oh god yeah... How hellish do you think it would be if Nintendo did MiiVerse for switch? I didn't dabble in service myself, just posting old screenshots

@ColToons @OutOfContextEv That’s not the problem, look at Disney and Nintendo. Their stuff is cartoony with realism and it works. The problem is the character designs. They feel off along with the animation. I can appreciate the squash and stretch they’re trying to do but it comes off weird cuz it’s not-

@PcElitist__ Nintendo is quiet and stick to their side, I have not had problems with xbox, Sony is annoying but doesn’t attack and Pc does so they win My personal take

@NintendoUK @granzella_inc @NISAmerica I’m playing #DisasterReport4 on my #NintendoSwitch and out of nowhere in a certain location it is lagging badly, and crashing. I can barely play it without it freezing. It’s been fine so far. HELP PLEASE 😭

@jose7uju If you mean in terms of PS5 not having a similar service yeah - but Xbox is being embarrassed by both Sony and Nintendo when it comes to hardware - Switch outsold the Xbone despite coming out 3.5 years later...

@Myst1c31 @nintenmau5 Sadly I think most of the wiiu library is in Switch now so that wouldn’t work. However would love a GameCube service! Honestly if Nintendo have use gamecube I think we would see even more sales or subscriptions of switch online

(@Waluigi4smas4) reported
@Red4Smash Among us has had a massive presents this year but that kind of underlines the issue, Nintendo probably decided pass 2 last year and they likely also didn't know among us existed last year, live alone considered adding the imposter. I could see a mii costume maybe but playable..0%

@Crazyreyn any sign of @Nintendo fixing the glitch in Mario Kart 8 where once you've completed every cup you can't skip the credits after finishing a cup? It's super annoying!!!
