@HEEHOOFSHIMANO Okay Im Australian and gunpla are literally nowhere. I live in NSW and not a single shop sells them. You literally have to go to shady import stores to even think about buying one. So, Nintendo taking a bit of the profit could be a problem. However, any other company would too.

@AxiomVerge That's all playstation consoles starting with 3. Big babies that can potentially wipe your hard drive when you turn it off wrong. Xbox and Nintendo you can pull those plugs out the wall all day. Console shuts down cause of a hard crash? It'll recover!

@NintendoAmerica Well it only took 4 years to get one of the many standard features Vita had at launch. Seems to be a bit of issues though. For as long as it took you'd think it would work more reliably. Maybe in four more years there will be some folders.

Had a minor surgery this morning, here's to hoping it solves some range of motion and muscle issues... As recovery though... Been game hoping on my @NintendoAmerica #Switch. Started with the @AspyrMedia port of @LucasfilmGames #RepublicCommandi, to which I'm still on the fence...

@einsp @Magical_Worker @SpawnWaveMedia Well for one, at least in Smash, the "online service" is literally peer to peer, meaning it doesn't touch Nintendo's servers and literally costs them nothing. At least MS and Sony have actual dedicated servers

@Haftnien Oh my god my PC would crash and burn like a Nintendo switch trying to run cyberpunk if I did that

@therationalpi I imagine if it's a limitation there it would be a licensing issue and likely money on Nintendo side of things. Otherwise I imaging **** see other users of Bluetooth having similar limitations

I need a team of people to help me make a website where gamers review games but the proviso it that the login is attached to their PC, Xbox, Nintendo & PlayStation accounts to verify they have played the game for a minimum of 2 hours.

@ItsDreaMzzz_ @serenemischief @PlayStation I learned my lesson with blindly allowing updates after Nintendo gave me problems with their one update this year that they pulled. But I don't like being locked out from online features either, due to ignoring bad updates.

If your defense of SSHD over SCU is really 'At least it works', you are literally part of the Nintendrone problem Because that basically says 'You can be as lazy as you want, as long as the games work', basically not making a change and letting Nintendo off the hook

@NintendoAmerica Also...I have a problem..I have no idea where the receipt went:/ I bought it from WalMart this past March, so hasn't even been a year:/ this 4 year old boy is devistated, anytime he was upset he'd go to it @NintendoAmerica he's dealing with me and his mom fighting for custody:/

@OliverJia1014 I've started ramping up my collection of physical games, especially Nintendo stuff. Pokemon collecting is the worse and I fully believe anyone who charges more then $80 for a loose Pokemon game of any gen to be worse then Hitler. But maybe someday the market will crash

Anytime a system patch has gone out that I later read had issues, I've never not gotten the issues. That Switch patch this year Nintendo pulled, I had issues updating games after. Some PS4 update from earlier this year or last year, gave me issues loading my friendlist & profile.

Stick drift problems aside, the Nintendo Switch has the shittiest wireless reception for its controllers that I've used on a modern game system, even when using a Pro controller.

@Ilixya The 1.2.0 patch for Nintendo Switch is under inspection. There are quite a few problems with version 1.2.0 so please wait a little bit.

@Magical_Worker @SpawnWaveMedia Think Nintendo tax. And the only way they'll follow industry trends is reluctantly. It took two and a half years for them to roll out an online service, and it was half baked.

@jan204re @AndrewAlerts I've never had problems with the build quality outside of drifty joycons and none of the first party Nintendo games run poorly except for Sword and Shield and that's just because that game sucks lol All your other gripes I agree with though. Still love this system

@NintendoAmerica you guys recently added bluetooth right? that's good the problem is the microphone Because I heard it doesn't work and that's the problem because I play fortnite on switch and apex and I wanted to use the mic for it but it doesn't work on google so please add it.

@UltraBall5 @NintendoAmerica Like yea okay Arceus Legends looks cool. But the lack of polished details and the frame rate issues in the trailers has me worried. They could have also done something interesting with the Pokémon battles, maybe something akin to Ni No Kuni. But they instead did the same formula

@lunoptramirez I don't actually have air pods and the overall sound quality sounds really *** regardless so I really don't think its a earbud problem unfortunately. Nintendo just can't get **** right lol

@nintendolife Yea no doubt it’d be priced higher. We got lucky getting snes games as a free addition. Knowing Nintendo, they’d probably charge the service up by 5-10 bucks.

@VrginX @theartistshaun @NintendoAmerica Thanks. This fixed the problem for me, but you really need to turn the volume up to hear anything. At least for Animal Crossing. Seems like it needs tweaking.
