  @sciendere that's actually a really great question. as far as the Nintendo Switch console can tell, they're all legitimate Amiibos. the only way there could be an issue would be if Nintendo found a way to have the consoles differentiate between retail and non retail Amiibos, which as (1/2)

  @JPGearingPS4 @VG247 By Nintendo move, they're going to kill it in due time. Just that Sony gonna put download on life support, then pull the cord when they don't want to keep it going at a later date. And this is why PC just better flat out from this problems, or even jail breaking the console.

  @NintendoAmerica the switch and your save service is such junk. I used to love you so much but why you complicate everything to a point it isn’t worth touching I’ll never understand. We have two switches that will be in the next garage sale and you all are dead. So long Zelda.

  @Shinesparkers I do not have a problem with Nintendo delays. The problem is that I am getting old in the meantime!

  @TommoTheCabbit They're like an inverted Nintendo in the scense they don't continue their older franchises. They bank on nostalgia with the occasional reference but never do anything with older franchises. Crash, Spyro, Jak, Sly, Ape Escape, etc should be going strong to this day.

  @Actually_Tina In particular that person could get into trouble with Nintendo (Not severe) for basically trying to go against their words on how they want the game to be played. (Which definitely is not this.)

  @JimboPulls @business No it’s not you realize Nintendo lags behind in tech and their online service suck.

  @zel640 @geoffkeighley Maybe. I understand some people may have concerns for why it wouldn't be good. But if they can make Mario work fine, I'm sure they can do the same for Zelda if they tried. There are ways to make it work. But the issue is, is if Nintendo would even consider those ways at all.

  @annoying_reply @IGN Facts right there, i own Nintendo stocks and making money with each retail sale, and buy all my games in both PS4/5 and Nintendo systems day one, i dont have an issue with this, same as the many games Sony has pulled out of PSN over the years.

  @PlayChaosChild I totally believe Nintendo will add 5 whole consoles to their ‘free’ games service and also announce a bunch of other fanwank.

  @spieltimes Hey, this is a ******* lousy TV. The picture is extremely slow and lagging while playing on the Nintendo Switch and using it for my laptop. Then I looked at the specs and it's only 60Hz! I brought this piece of **** on the day you tweeted about it and I returned it the next day.

  @VideoGamerJoup9 @NintendoAmerica @NianticLabs Really? THIS is the first good news!? We've got Pyra in Smash, Splatoon 3, Miitopia, Mario Golf. Like... really? Of everything we got, these things and more, THIS is first GOOD one. I mean I've got no problem with this, but, really? THIS is the first GOOD one?

  @RBIGAME On the Nintendo Switch, it's not allowing me to update the roster which prevents me from playing online. Redownloading...I'll update since I don't see this issue anywhere.

  @jasonschreier You can literally play games from G1 xbox and Nintendo to modern day thanks to their retro compatibility so the problem is sony not everyone else.

  @NintendoAmerica @NianticLabs This is a terrible move for Nintendo to do this because apps games are never good with there shity microtransactions and has lots of issues with ads.

  @Nintendo nintendo needs to have more oversight on Niantic this time around pokemon go is less of a game and more of a lifestyle app not to mention severe aesthetic quality issues all around just make it fun, and charge money up front.

  @Potato898king1 @geronimo_73 @HarmanS98883903 The problem with Nintendo is their unstable up & down performance and now they only have handheld & no home console but their mobile games do help a lot

  @RetrosoftStudio Wow you mean you missed some more stuff and Nintendo said nope no certification yet? I’m shocked. Y’all enjoy that Xbox version I’m sure it’s perfect (CRASH, GLITCH, FREEZE!) smh please STOP SAYING ANOTHER WEEK! Just say you have no idea and you’re sorry. Then refund me

  @KingPhantom456 I do think the series consoles will probably be the last generation on that side, especially if Phil can convince PS and Nintendo, they obviously just want to be a service

  After the millionth time falling off something because the edge of my thumb has hit the right analog stick while trying to use XY dash AB jump and has jolted the screen 90 degrees, I have a serious bone to pick with the people at Nintendo who didn't fix this bug.

  @DavidAndrewBar2 @Xeno_Joey I really want Akira from Astral Chain. The other can be Ryu or Crash. I'm more inclined for Ryu because Ninja Gaiden is such a classic from Nintendo, but Crash really worked out to earn a spot.

  @CatCet3 @cleveru16605923 @MatttGFX But to "fix" them you have to open them up and void your warranty, and even then that's scuffed as ****. And again, nintendo IGNORED the fans outcry about the drift for months and months, and even then only said "sorry" and did nothing to fix it
