@KingGeoshi64 Yeah, it'd be nothing short of a miracle if Nintendo actually addresses any of the crap going on here. At most I'd expect them to at least fix the emulators.

@ElevenOHNOES Oh, it's not a problem - I have a US eShop account ofc. It just seems yet again another instance of a game releasing, but just not in NZ. It's odd for a Nintendo game though bc we're run by Nin AUS so tend to get the same as you Aussies.

@NintendoAmerica As if I'd trust a company who can't fix controller drift to make a non burn - in susceptible screen on a gaming device.

Now that they heard it, the main problem is that Nintendo is not one to apologize for releasing a service in such a bad state. They're not going to change their planning, but I expect some higher ups to finally think seriously about emulation fidelity to an extent.

@CommanderZaktan I'm having this exact issue too right now, so might just be a nintendo thing in that case fingers crossed it gets fixed soon

@GifZelda Depending* on the number of days left of ur current service, it will deduct that amount off the total price. In addition, u CAN use ur Nintendo rewards gold coins to lower the cost even more, making it almost* the same price as a regular annual subscription. But $50 rly is alot!

@NintendoUK I don't know whether when I originally bought the switch, I created a new email account which I have now forgotten, or whether someone has hacked my player account and changed the associated email address. Either way, I can't sign in as I don't know the password.

@Zozecrossing honestly nintendo is damned if they do, damned if they don’t. i lk feel like it’s a big problem in the ac community that they expect too much from the game and the updates and whatever happens a lot of people just see the negative

@NeoGameSpark That's precisely the problem. People can dislike videos and complain endlessly but if they still buy it then Nintendo wins regardless. I'll wait till they add value to service but I'll admit I'm easy to win over. Once Banjo-Kazooie is on this, the library will be worth 50 to me.

@zfg111 It's the new Sword & Shield tree. A minor issue being blown out of proportion. Other than the colors being a little too saturated, OoT on the Switch is fine. No input lag. The rest of the games are fine too. People are just over eager to complain about Nintendo, as usual.

@CraftKid5 @GreatPaul64 @Kotaku If you download roms you will probably never have a problem with Nintendo, believe me I know I have been doing it for years too and Miyamoto never came to my house to break my legs. It's just a question of ethics even if you'll never have problems, are you ok with stealing a gam

@NeoGameSpark Most people I know didn't get the Expansion Pack far as I know, but regardless. Nintendo is gonna have to do some work to make up for the problems with this service. Better library of games, better emulation, more/better extra content, and for God's sake improve the online play.

@NathanielBandy1 Nintendo: oh no Anyways *counting the money they're making from people buying the service, a lot of whom are the ones who disliked the video*

@DarkViperAU I had that issue once. You need to charge it via dock, also takes a while before it starts actually charging. Happens when the battery is really empty. Also avoid using any chargers that arent Nintendo, they WILL break the switch

Nothing like @NintendoAmerica giving me issues with my Google Authenticator app and not allowing me to log in. So ridiculous 🤬

@getonthestiix @Entercheatcode MP's a huge % of games. Add digital & online or patches requirement & games you can actually own without issue is a small %. Also with Nintendo overhauling online & using cloud they could pull server support too. Maybe admit you dislike Xbox/GP rather than claim its ownership?

@INACGA_ @GifZelda People are upset because the service is ****. Nintendo got it right the first time a decade ago with Wii VC which not only was a cheaper service but also featured better emulation.

I don’t think I’ve ever come across a company that is so unwilling to help and do the right thing as @NintendoUK. Their customer service falls way below standard. I will be complaining to various outlets, including the media.

I got nintendo's online service now so I can do online stuff on Animal Crossing. I uploaded my custom content that I made already.

@GoodReads2014 @AndreSegers The problem you have is with the online functionality within games, not Nintendo’s servers. Some are designed so players will match each others’ gameplay experience (oversimplification) rather than letting one player break the game. It works out better in some games than others.

@Christofur21 @Repiteo The issue with updating specifically the Switch version is that all patches for all games have to go through Nintendo first, which can take months. This notoriously means that you have to make numerous blood sacrifices to push a single hotfix.

@NintendoFanGirl @AndreSegers The issue there is this... If we are expected to provide the online connectivity. What are we paying Nintendo for? It's kind of like me paying for a supermarket home delivery but finding out i have to go and pick up my groceries myself.
