@harugaminguwu LITERALLY NOBODY LMAO, I bet Nintendo did this to make people pay for their Nintendo online service to support their dumb ROMS...

I think buying a used Nintendo wii online would fix all of my problems. I think about it almost every day

@SnakedogsSpawn @elgato @OBSProject There should be no issues capturing from a Nintendo Switch with the HD60 S+. What exactly is occurring for you? Which app do you use to capture? -T

@AndreSegers Because this is a test run of a game that isn’t complete. There are bound to be issues that they will fix. The point of this is for Nintendo to stress test this game. You don’t want people to see things about an incomplete game and base their opinions on that.

I'm getting a new Nintendo Switch tomorrow, the OLED one to be exact. My current one is having overheating issues when I play with it in docked mode & I think it needs a new internal fan. As a result, it'll be sent for repair at somepoint on Monday. 🙃

@zmeister100 I just wouldn't say that there is a "Nintendo fanbase". The thing is so mixed up and broken that there isn't one way in where you could get everyone together with one term.

@Blt9983 @Utyranto @GameHistoryOrg No I agree - I was just explaining why I think Nintendo doesn’t see it as an issue, even though it definitely is.

@doug_gunther There were a lot of videos back from 2017 where people said that Nintendo should move on to a subscription-based service. I am not scrolling through years worth of videos.

@duskears @IntroSpecktive I mean the best way to combat piracy is to offer a better, even more convenient service. That’s why music streaming like Spotify is so big now. The issue with Nintendo Online is that… it’s *not* a better service, so a lot of people still pirate anyways.

Nintendo should fix their controllers in terms of drift issues ever since people first notice them

Been playing the Nintendo switch sports playtest today!Been super fun,but honestly whilst the online can be good sometimes,it more often then not ends up with a “cannot connect to consoles” or a disconnect.Good games,bad online is the best synopsis of my experience #SwitchSports

@TejasKumar_ @Nintendo I'd rather have a poorly maintained project than an unmaintained project every day of the week. I can fix any bugs I find. I don't want to think about fixing any bug anyone else has already solved

@zmeister100 But the subscription service is terrible, people wanted something like gamepass where you have access to all of Nintendo's games through that service. Instead you get poorly emulated N64 games.

@ThatGuyJoeUK @TopHatGamingMan This is massive issue and it nearly rendered 2 of my joy-cons useless. I had to buy a kit online and fix the pads myself. Not had a single issue since. If it’s so simple I could do it in a few minutes then why aren’t Nintendo getting on to their manufactures?

@MephilesRequiem @Haedox I only believe this is true with newer games, older games aren’t sold anymore so it doesn’t give the people who made them any money. Most non Nintendo companies won’t sue you for pirating older games either and the creator of half life even said that if the pirate’s service (1/2)

@NintendoUK your website is broken and it is impossible to book a repair. My sons switch joy cons are drifting! Please advise

@RiiConnect24 this wording is terrible, all they wanted to do is make an alt version of evc and like two others that is more accurate to the original nintendo service, idk why they went so hard with it, making it sound exactly like a replacement

@determined_wil Yeah and for their price and nintendo’s unwillingness to fix some of the issues kinda make them hot garbage, i’ll continue playing with them but they’re bad

@KashinKoji16 @nintendolife Yes, I'm not disagreeing with emulation, Nintendo however, will. The entire emulation situation they take such an issue with stems from the fact they keep doing this, and locking their games away like it's the god damned disney vault.

So the fans then asked, what if Nintendo created a subscription service where we can play all the classic games? So again, Nintendo did that and made it on the Switch. Again, the fans are mad. "We have to PAY to play classic games!?" 🙃

@HazzadorGamin I think Japanese Studios are going to require making games on PS and Nintendo if applicable in Japan and I think Xbox should do that. By letting gamers buy the games on PS but getting it on Gamepass in Japan would open the service to more of the market in Asia.

@thweikantra @nintendolife If you don't already own the games you want on a system as old as the 3ds, that's your problem, not Nintendo's.

@DametoDaRescue It’s honestly weird. Nintendo rarely makes garbage. I understand people’s problem with Game Freak over the years, but this has happened to so many other games too it’s stupid

@kieran_fifield oh then you should either return it, or try and send it to nintendo and usually they can fix it, they fix your stick drift for you if u send it to them and i bet they can fix this

@scully1888 But that leaves out the when thos should happen. When it's no longer available officially? What if it is no longer available on the original, but is on a virtual console type service? A subscription service like Nintendo online? Do you get a rental code from the library?

@zmeister100 literally most people didn't want Nintendo to drop support for the 3DS and Wii U or a subscription-based service, Nintendo was known for Free Playing Online whenever other consoles had a subscription-based online service
