We never escape our roots. My glucose meter gave me two error messages and my instinct was to blow into the place where you insert the strip like it was a Nintendo cartridge.

@Win98Tech @xtreemmasheen3k Problem is Nintendo takes years to drop the price on any of their first-party titles. But also BotW2 is the only game I'm actually excited about so I won't have an issue paying full price. But yeah, if it does come out in 2022, it'll be probably be Q4

People suggested trying to change the region to EU or open a new account. This still does not resolve the issue. No word from @NintendoAmerica at all. Frustrating and disappointing.

@GamerShepherd51 I wish but I doubt it. I'm not sure what the issue is with Nintendo and it's online capabilities but I fear Switch servers wouldn't be able to handle a game of that magnitude with that many people

@localswampgay @BreakABone I tease, I tease… how could I ever give up my amazing last name that I still can’t get passed any of the Nintendo bad word sensors when trying to name characters or for login purposes lmao.

@marcoarment My attempt to solve the Nintendo problem was to rename my account “Family” and create a new account for me. The “main” switch gets the family account, and all users have access to big game library. Other switches repurchase the games they want to play.

The text based customer service line is absolute garbage, @NintendoAmerica. Copy paste answers, and as of now, I've been at this for an hour over a $5 DLC that I didn't get, and can't be refunded because I can use them for other stuff in game. EXCEPT I CAN'T WITHOUT THE DLC.

@SEGAwhisperer @bklynvideogames It was ok, but the trouble was it divided the 16-bit Sega market and its games into cartridges and cds, unlike Nintendo it was just cartridge, of course for those in the know its not a problem, but for the casual buyer anything not crystal clear what plays on what causes problems

(@wolicyponk) reported
@mrfeelswildride it had better launch sales than the Gamecube iirc, ofc Nintendo had far more cash on hand. the big problem iirc was because the PS2 was the technically advanced one, PS2 buyers weren't going to settle for a price-cut DC just because the PS2 was delayed

@maplesbian True but with that Crash come the final of: Intellevision, Colecovision, Atari 5200, Atari 7800, Oddisey II. The games continue in other countrys but with old software and descontinued machines till Nintendo come with NES then videogames returned with new games for all world.

@nintendolife Can't wait for people to blame Nintendo's trigger happy copyright police and not the fact that it's a supply chain issue and they can't guarantee it right now.

@bbabyjazzy If Nintendo are able to add it to their online service, I might get to play the story mode, but since Rare is part of Microsoft now, that might be difficult for them to pull off.

@Leonkennedy87 Unfortunately that "pay to play" online crap ended up sticking among the entire industry short of Nintendo before "the Switch"... people already paid for internet, phone service, streaming subs- all of this different **** and then pay to play online on top? Nah bruh :P

Any recommendations for a good, but cheap-ish capture card for the Nintendo switch? I have one, but it has just enough lag that it's best I not play any games that require quick reactions. I was thinking of streaming BOTW2 when it comes out 😯

Only problem is that every game is set to an Xbox controller configuration, and all the buttons are reversed on Nintendo controllers (A and B, X and Y). I know I'm holding a Nintendo controller, it feels like a Nintendo controller, so it's really hard to press the

@LillieofBombay you don’t need to buy it twice! i had the same issue but you can actually use the same nintendo account on both switches because the island save data is saved to the console not the account! you just won’t be able to play on both the islands at the same time
