@ancientcitystl @NintendoUK I don’t know if you figured it out, but connect your Switch to the internet and load up the game. I had the same issue. Your version of game has to have a B instead of C at the end. :)

@HeartLocketMoth I remember all of that, for sure. The issue though is that somehow that was still better than whet Nintendo followed up on it with. Which was rehashing it from scratch and then nothing.

@Jose12Super @Sapphire1X7 Nintendo also recently said to just deal with it as they don't see drifting as an issue and I'm not even sure you can send it in to get fixed anymore for free. I have a feeling that was just a limited time thing.

@premydaremy Nintendo became the bad guy, Mario didn't do much, but his company betrayed the fans Sonic had a movie that miraculously saved it self Crash had a sleeper hit I don't know.

About to send my Switch back to Nintendo for repair. Totally blank screen, won’t charge or turn on. Gutted as the kids have games for it coming tomorrow. Loads of YouTube videos were no help. Just before I fill out the return form, anyone had this problem and found a fix? 🤞

@theswitchbit Nintendo’s problem is that they always want to innovate but kinda forgets what they did good. Three years of switch and they still haven’t done the minimum for the console.

@Sonic_Gamer501 Probably a problem with Nintendo’s shitty online service.

@HeartLocketMoth Considering digital distribution on consoles was so new in 2006, I think the original VC was a fine foundation for what could have become a great service carried forward. But nope, guess Nintendo didn't want that. Neither did Sony post-PS3.

Dear @NintendoAmerica and @animalcrossing no one should have to buy Christmas diy's to get them from an Etsy store. They should be easier to get. I have yet to get a single one as have several of my friends. This is really annoying. I wish you would patch it to fix it.

@baifico Sorry about this, we have a new update that's going through certification to fix a number of issues. It's christmas time so Nintendo may be a bit slower to make it live.

@TheYoBroTV @NintendoAmerica It isn't not selling. It's that they don't offer it anymore. Using your gas station analogy, it's more like grabbing a candy bar out of the dumpster when they toss them for the expiration date. Tell me, do you have a problem with that? (Ignoring how gross dumpster diving is.)

@jbu3 Frankly I think people pointing to Animal Crossing are part of the problem because while Nintendo said it was delayed to avoid crunch, they at no point provided evidence or stated workplace standards in place.

@NintendoAmerica @animalcrossing When the game finally had all the features of the previous games and didn't have connection issues. Oh wait, that never happened.

@LinkToo If they made Baby Jesus an animal I think Nintendo would have a lot of problems on their hands. From example Santa doesn't exist. It's Jingle the Reindeer.

@marcan42 The way I see it, Nintendo is even worse. They went after tournaments, yourubers, etc... for absolutely invalid reasons. I hope they one day realize the error of their ways.

@oskool_g I wonder if Sony is gonna get sued for malfunctioning adaptive triggers to where they'd be forced to fix them for free like how Nintendo got sued and was forced to fix the Joy Cons for free due to the Joy Con drift.

The nintendo switch was a hit! Also, as someone who is the least tech savvy, I had no problems setting it up. I also love having the parental controls.

@zeabeaz I mean, when you look at the massive history of gaming, and knowing being Nintendo exclusive doesn’t matter anymore, there are soooo many characters who represent franchises that would be better than digging deeper into the same game as a current rep. Crash, halo, jak, doom etc

@metroidism @NintendoAmerica Not in high school, just stating the facts. And you're assuming I do justify EVERYTHING they do, I've had some serious problems with their emulation attacks lately due to media preservation as a whole
