@RonnieTalbott @GameStop @FedEx My switch from GameStop stopped working after a month (wouldn’t connect to WiFi and I get some mystery error code). It is covered under Nintendo warranty but have to mail it in and not have it for 2+ months. 🙄

Pokemon is a separate issue when it comes to legal matters. The Pokemon Company handles these matters, not Nintendo, and they seem to be stricter on what Pokemon fangames and stuff they will ignore and which ones they will not.

@The_Farmer_John I usually say criticism is always valid for bigger companies ie EA, Activision, Nintendo. But BHVR is an exception; criticism is always valid against them when they can't even do the absolute most BASIC of features (MMR, tutorial, Safety against Ddos).

@PaladinsGame the amount of crashing while playing on Nintendo Switch is unbearable. It has been a problem for years, why are these issues never fixed? #paladinsgame #NintendoSwitch

@Neaok11 @NintendoAmerica Yup! I know the ones. Two of them gave me trouble for a while but I managed to do them eventually.

2. Pit/Dark Pit Pit and Dark Pit were literally made for each other shut up. Phosphora will not break that up for anything. Plus, age issues. It definitely kills me that canon Phos was BIG flirty with Pit but I simply disregard Nintendo's reality and substitute my own :).

@HyperopticCS PSN won’t work, Nintendo Online won’t work, Square Enix launcher won’t work on desktop for FFXIV, but sure there’s an issue with PS servers 🤔

@bxbytrk No region lock on the nintendo switch, so no issues on capability beyond maybe a $5 charging cable.

@ElohistSource @busylovesjesus @ANerdNamedJerry You talked about how you understood the fact Nintendo was pushing for diversity yet you have a problem with it not being about white people even though the point of diversity is to give more to minorities. White isn’t a minority. It’s the major. I thought you knew this.

@KowtowRobinson @boomboxhero @Bri4nF Shouldn't it be less of a problem than console tho? Steam for example allows usage for all of the big console manufacturers controllers(nintendo, sony and microsoft)

@thebeav20 Or as I like to say it. Nintendo adapting a "Fix it all" fanfiction onto a game.

@TheLobster111 @SomeKittyCat @samtendo09 It must have to do with the game being hacked. Super Metroid ROMhacks also exist without issue. Either Kaze is doing something specifically to earn Nintendo’s ire, or for some reason they really like targeting SM64 hacks specifically.

@EIcondeLucanor @Hamilton2711 @PokemonUnite But that bug has a solution, link your account with a Nintendo or Niantik account and close session, if the problem is not solved it is because you have bad internet

@ulymaldo @RockstarGames I will update it to my supporters soon to do it, but I’ll give credit from you. So it means PlayStation and Xbox was the problem. Men… I don’t know why Nintendo was pretty bad on messaging stuff? 😒

I don't know if a lot of Nintendo Switch players are facing this but it is the second time that my save file got deleted after a console update. This is beyond annoying. I also didn't subscribe to the online service so I guess my data are gone forever. #NintendoSwitch

@CDED3807 I don’t know what causes it but upon finishing a match in an arena the game would crash when trying to load the results screen. Nintendo customer support said redownload the game and that fixed it (redownload took forever though)

(@markeyruiz97) reported
@dimitri_smm I forgot that bug was a thing tbh. Even then, I thought Nintendo had glitch detection where if you do something unintentional in the editor, the game will flag it as "corrupt" and delete it from coursebot. Given Nintendo's current stance with bugs, they should patch the game.

For my Switch Warframe viewers trying to login to the website using your Nintendo account the issue is still being looked into. Don’t worry though, they won’t let Nef steal your info or anything. They have an assault team already on it!

@NintendoAmerica will this Smash update fix Little Mac Up-B let it drift left/right, Sonic's inferior moveset, Dr. Mario's ineffective moveset, Duck Hunt's range on non specials, nerf Myra/Pyrtha and Bowser, DeeDee's neutral air, the Miis more moves and a dozen smaller fixes?

@NintendoAmerica really screwed the pooch with their N64 "online" offering... might be good to fix your horrible netcode, input lag and give fans what they really want. TO OWN THE GAMES.

Let me rephrase it this way so it makes more sense: if the original policy was if an equally qualified man and woman came in, and the man was chosen 80% of the time, yes that would be a problem. I am for fixing that. If that is what the Nintendo article is fixing then go ahead
