(@nightstargalaxy) reported
@SuperSwagGuyYT @JoyconTheDrift free repairs are officially only for drifting, but some ppl have reported that they sent joycons with broken buttons and they came back fixed (but also its most likely nintendo sent them new joycons entirely bc the drift couldnt be fixed, not that they fixed them out of kindness)

@rayilicious And if Nintendo decides that we shouldn't have access to these games then they should have no problem if people emulate them in the future

@imac_king23 @PupusaJr @MzLadeeSuga PSNow was LITERALLY made for BC. GP was made as a subscription service to offer a library of games at a price. They both offer games. But I’m talking about WHY they were created which makes them different. It’s like calling Nintendo Online Sub the same as GWG/PS+.

I am giving away 10 copies of Crash 4 for the Nintendo Switch - they're digital codes and only work if you're in the U.K. to enter, take a picture of your Switch to prove that you'll use the code, then leave the picture under this tweet will pick 10 winners on the 26th

@KazumaKiryuD @NintendoAmerica The problem that Nintendo’s retro catalog is left in the dust and starting to become limited time releases?

I think the real secret is at midnight next Wednesday, Nintendo will announce the ending of Super Mario Bros 35'a service and 3D All Stars being no longer available is just an April Fools prank.

I can't log in to my Nintendo account because it says it's still linked to an old wii u i sold to someone 5 ******* years ago how do i fix that

@NeoGameSpark Nah **** the business standpoint. This **** is just a out of touch dumbass imo. I've played many older games more than i did newer games last year. Why can't him or nintendo understand preserving older games. With this mindset they shouldn't have a issue if i pirate right?

@DMC_Ryan Yea. Nintendo systems are hard to get even without all the other issues going on. Can’t imagine what this will be like.

Shout out to the guy who called me trash on apex Bc I got killed when me and him were top 2, sir I’m playing on the NINTENDO SWITCH with DRIFT ISSUES.

@CharlyMaxim @JonComms That's a good point, I think I was using the word "preservation" to mean a combination of preserving and giving access, the latter being where problems seem to arise the most. I'm still hoping we get more out of Nintendo in terms of classic-game access someday.

@HotGirlVideos69 I mean my expectation is that the switch pro can play games that haven’t normally been on Nintendo due to power issues. Is that a normal expectation?

Lmao people try to hype up a Nintendo direct and get disappointed in the end because they didn't see Master chief or crash in smash

@JuacoProdX @NintendoAmerica Everyone has a joycon drift issue. Not just us. Your best bet is just get a Pro Controller.

@NintendoAmerica I don't know if it is still worth getting something that's for a limited time on the Switch. I know it's like a collector's edition for Mario's anniversary too, though the decision is still questionable. I also need to fix the JoyCon drift issues should I play it.

@BenjiSales Preordered it awhile back. My only issue is nintendo online sucks so gotta hook it to the pc for discord and voice chat for multiplayer.

@NianticLabs @Nintendo Feelsbadman I can't join remote raids, can't take my buddy out and can't scan pokestops. Also my game keeps crashing and on top of that my screen randomly goes black (no its not my phone it's only specifically pokemon go). Maybe fix your game?

@sackchief Gonna be the same problem with the New 3ds "Do you have a New Nintendo Switch in stock?" "Yes, we do" *hands a new original Switch* "NO, I meant the *NEW* Nintendo Switch, not a new original Switch"

(@Dr_Scaphandre) reported
@haide023 @NintendoAmerica Funny because that quote is what made Steam the juggernaut it is. Want to beat the pirates? Then make a better service than what they offer, which Nintendo sadly does not. When Nintendo refuses to support their retro catalog and even pulling releases, piracy steps up to the plate

So I found out today my audio issue has literally no fix so I’m forced to stream my Nintendo games with audio dipping out unless I don’t use streamlabs 😣

The people on Twitter that constantly spread rumors about the Switch Pro are going to cause people to raise their expectations so high that the drop of disappointment will crash the site permanently. anyways, lookin forward to it nintendo

@terrilgames4 Yeah it seems that Microsoft is moving towards becoming a service as opposed to a competitor for PlayStation and Nintendo. Ultimately, I can see them make their games available on every device.

@kirbyfan45 Overdone or not its a legitimate criticism of Nintendo. However many people realize that's how this joke started, idk. But it's playing off that it's purposefully manufactured scarcity and FOMO while video game preservation is a huge issue
