@ShyanneSky It honestly astounds me how backwards nintendo can be. They have an amazing portable system and amazing back catalog but refuse to release that back catalog. Like do they not have the games anymore is there a rights issue, because it makes no sense.

@2WayIntrsctn @Mattsa_64 @ShyanneSky PS and Xbox give you free recent games every month with their online subscription as well as voice chat. Nintendo rents out old games with a few gems and did nothing to their online service to warrant paying. Everything is still shitty Peer-to-Peer that's filled with hackers.

@absurdlyugly @LightPhantom123 Yes, and what's the problem? Maybe that would be an issue for someone like you, a fanboy that wouldn't buy a game unless you don't get it for your favorite brand, but that's not for me. My point was to prove you that third party games sell well on Nintendo hardware.

@NioXoiN @Spoderguy2 @NintendoAmerica Yet Sm4sh and Ultimate still made all its tourneys with minimal problems. The netplay speaks more to Nintendos incompetence at making an online infrastructure rather than some elaborate plan I have a rule when it comes to the doc: If its close to official, its true

Nintendo needs to get their ******* **** together. 2020 and we can’t gift things to friends. Their website sucks, their estore is awful and their customer service is **** too!

@dadx81 @watchin2 I think Nintendo has already decided that instead of them maintaining that Wii U-like service themselves, they want people to just use the billions of online community platforms that exist like Discord.

For about an hour today I thought we’d broken the Nintendo Switch & I was feeling like Jimmy Stewart at the beginning of Its A Wonderful Life but luckily Nintendo customer support walked me through how to fix it & then I felt like Jimmy Stewart at the end of Its A Wonderful Life

I saw a twt talking about Nintendo and their issue with not releasing their previous titles for play, true enough, but someone said "theres really only mario, zelda, pokemon, and mario spin offs, not much else in terms of diversity"

@BriceNicholXIII @Aaronitmar Ahh, but it definitely isn’t entirely a Nintendo issue, so blaming them for your character not getting In is kinda weird

Just said “bye-bye” to the Nintendo customer service lady, nobody else talk to me for the rest of the night.

@CB4Smash As someone who supports Rayman till the End, I can tell you that Crash is NEVER gonna be a Mii Costume because of how Big of a Backlash that will cause. Should we get a 3rd and Final Volume Fighter Pass, Crash is definitely gonna get that Spot if Nintendo and Activision go for it

@5uperKix I think it became less of a trend, but the problem still remains and Nintendo is not forgiven

@NintendoAmerica Hey @NintendoAmerica I have a problem with my switch: All my games are in (Spain) Spanish and I want them to be in (Latin) Spanish but there’s not an option to change those settings and it’s affecting the gameplay!

@reeseovine Maybe possibly losing an opportunity even. Gotta throw more qualifiers at that tbh, even if someone likes playing nintendo games, that doesn't mean they have $60 in the bank to buy one, no amount of market or piracy restriction can fix that.

ask yourself this, does the bad press a company would get from sending someone to jail over a glitch video outweigh the chilling effect it sends so that nobody else makes glitch videos? for a company like Nintendo who has proven they don't give a single ****? (ps. #FreeMelee)

@ShyanneSky To quote Gabe Newell, "Piracy is a service problem." If Nintendo isn't going to offer me a good service, then yar har fidle de de it is.

RT>Who wants to make bets on how little of the Nintendo library they put on Switch Online? THEY HAVE THE ROMS FROM WII U AND WII. RELEASE THEM FREE THEM. I mean there's stuff THEY control not released! I know we won't ever get say, Lufia II(apparently licensing issues) but cmon!

@NintendoAmerica so, my wireless controller just had my player started drifting particularly Animal Crossing. It’s a known issue should I go back to @BestBuy and replace under warranty? I feel with this being a manufacturer error that a warranty should not be used #NintendoSwitch

@2WayIntrsctn @Mattsa_64 @ShyanneSky PS xbox are actualy worth the money. Nintendo isnt. I could host the servers myself and itd be as good as what nintendo online service shits out.

Nintendo: "We want you to pay for our newest consoles and software" How about you fix your shitty joycons first. I can't even play any games anymore.

@vraviti Honestly I think at least digital should be fifty, since Nintendo’s excuse for having such expensive games is because cartridges are expensive to make, but you don’t have that issue with digital copies

A bit more detail: this bug is in the CPUr2 that was released to fix the CPUr1 DMA<>HDMA crash conflict, and it was fixed in the 1CHIP redesign. Which technically makes the 1CHIP a CPUr3 that just reports itself as CPUr2 erroneously (Nintendo stopped bumping the chip revision#s)
