@DRKLCNS @Ragnocide @MatttGFX Until Nintendo provides a proper response to this, channels like GiivaSunner are the most accessible way we can listen to things, and if Nintendo is too lazy to upload this sort of stuff themselves and make money off it, their problem. Until then, pirate their soundtracks.

@KyleSew2112 I remember getting my Wii out a few years ago as I wanted to play Online Mario Kart but completely forgot that Nintendo discontinued the online service for the Wii.

@FluffyMalfy Yeah Same issue with a Nintendo or PlayStation controller, I litterally plug them in on Linux, they work. On Windows I have to map their input across

@LoganStudiosYT @benjedwards and whats the problem if Sega won, the only time nintendo won console wars post snes was with wii and switch, and smw isn't the only game in the system

But also it was kind of a game changer for the mario series as a whole. Plus if it didn't exist who knows how would SM64 turn out Plus nintendo wouldn't have a 2D plat launch title for the SNES and potentially lag behind in the console wars and that's another can of worms

@AmazonHelp It has nothing to do with the prime gaming service. I ordered a physical copy of a Nintendo switch game. Part of the pre order promotion was bonus codes that are to be emailed upon the release date.

After further investigation, I was never gonna be able to play Splatoon 2 online where I live anyway throughout all the times I tried. So no Splatoon 3 for me anymore. Nintendo really needs to fix their damn online. 😒

@jeromin_about Yeah for sure Nintendo has been lazyI just don't think the OLED is one of the key examples of that. I'm not gonna buy the next nintendo console until they fix Pokemon. It's absurd that one of the popular and beloved series of all time has no polish

@JaredW5L Nintendo is so strange. They seem downright fearful of the internet. The Switch is amazing but it has a worse online service than the Xbox 360 which came out in 2005. Feels like they're always gonna be way behind the curve when it comes to internet stuff unfortunately.

@TheNCSmaster I wonder if Nintendo is actually aware of how much money they would've make if they just uploaded their songs to Spotify or any other kind of music streaming service

@erichighsmith1 @chastity_v Dude there have been switch games that are fantastic graphic wise, this is the biggest franchise in history. This shouldn't be a problem for Nintendo

@MallowyGoodness Like…there’s a reason first party Nintendo games rarely if ever have performance or optimization issues at launch. They are the kings of this ****. But oh you can’t see all the trees that should be in your field of view so therefore it is bad I guess

I can play anything on GB through the Game Boy Player, but if I wanted to use a Super Nintendo controller I'm out of luck. The Raphnet adapter either has input lag or it has an issue with three-inputs-at-once...

@disneylover95 Yep all good thanks, managed to rebuild my Lego but my Lego space station fell apart a bit when I tried to sort my shelves out so me and my dad will just fix the few bits that came off over the next few days. Have been playing my new Nintendo switch game xxxx

@MightyRavino @SMITEGame The switch isnt one of the largest platforms for smite. If im not mistaken i believe it goes pc,xbox,ps and then switch. So probably after they fix the xbox issue if play station is having issues that will be next then nintendo switch will be the last one.

@nintendolife if youre going to go through the effort to mod the games to fix nintendo's problems, why not play the roms at that point nice though

@BelowAVGbenny Emulation has been rife for years, way before Nintendo locked older generation games behind a subscription service. I've played retro games on emulators for about 20 years.

@NintendoUK Hi, I have been trying to download Yugioh Master Duel on my Switch Lite for two days now, but every time I attempt to, it comes up with a message declaring an error and asking me to redownload. Would you be able to help me?

@benjedwards UUUUUUUUUUUUUGH. ....Super Mario World. It pains me but DK brought Nintendo into the public eye of gaming, Mario literally saved the industry from that crash and Mario 64 shaped up the vast majority of 3D platformers after its release.

@benjedwards I feel like all of these can't be removed and "do the least amount of damage." Donkey Kong - Pretty much saved Nintendo after Radar Scope flopped SMB- Pretty much saved the video game crash of 1983 1/2

@LeekingMemory The inability to remap controls is an accessibility issue. I know Nintendo is always a decade behind everyone else, but it’s just ridiculous sometimes

@vault_boy47 No problem with that. You can always get it when you need it. That’s what I do. Paying for 3 subs PS , Xbox, and Nintendo are getting expensive. I wish they become like car insurance the longer you have it they become cheaper :)
