@elthesensai @davidspringate @dark1x Yes, I know. The point is that they validate your purchase from 15-20 years ago. Nintendo let’s you buy the same SNES virtual console game on three different systems (Wii, Wii U, New 3DS) and then replace it with a subscription service on Switch.

Minecraft on Nintendo Switch is yet again broken. 👏 The game is simply unable to sign into my Microsoft Account. It gets stuck on the signing in message and if I try to load a world the game crashes. 1/2

First off, @NintendoAmerica pass this on. FIX YOUR CONTROLLERS FOR SWITCH! The drift is abysmal. And stop charging so much for garbage replacements.

@Master0fHyrule Its a step in the right direction for Nintendo. however, i wish there were improvements. their online service, while it is cheap, i expect better for forking over cash, even at $4 a month, i expect some quality control. like seriously, its just as slow when it was free. Seriously

@EnHasSkill @LuvMk8 Thanks. Trust nintendo to finally do something to the servers ONLY when it affects them, after years of communication errors and terrible lag.

@casseroleboy I played it on Nintendo DS, very comfy to play it handheld and I didn’t have any issues with that version (haven’t finished it tho)

@DarkZeroUnit @Master0fHyrule No pro version yet and yeah nintendo still hasn't fixed the drift. They are required to fix it for free if you send it in because of the lawsuit though.

@ritchiemartin This has been the case since Game Pass became a thing. That’s why Xbox bought Bethesda and now Activision, to get players into Game Pass. The problem though is that Xbox has the worst first-party titles, so PS and Nintendo will always be competitors. But Xbox is making up ground.

@KumarNinya idk, there was a super mario game on the list but that turned out to be that nintendo released a version of the game on nvidia shield service only in china. not sure but i think it was only streamable but didn’t officially release as a full game

@CloutAm @aarongreenberg Don't be daft. It's been 20 years since Crash first appeared on Xbox now. Anyone who *still* views him as belonging to PlayStation is being daft. It'd be like Nintendo fans griping about Final Fantasy being on PS, or Microsoft fans griping about Metal Gear games after MSX launch.

All the demos are in version 1.0 (as in the Japanese one). There remain the problems of Screen Tearing on Playstation, and frame rate problems on Nintendo Switch. The Xbox version is currently the one I recommend. #DEMO #DW9Empires

(@novascrawlers) reported
@godstejor @NintendoAmerica I wish I could agree, but the demo was such a mess. While it sounds like SE listened to feedback to fix some of the mechanical issues, the writing / voice acting was just terrible. The sad part is SE can def do better (e.g. Final Fantasy Tactics), but they just didn't here.

I just listened to this dude say if Nintendo bought Activision it would have been a problem because of how big Nintendo is.... This Hoeg Law dude is a ******* Microsoft Fanboy he doesn't even sound objective when he talks.

@XcloudTimdog Like Minecraft, Crash and Spyro appeal to a younger demo. I can’t see them doing that to Nintendo.

@NintendoAmerica there seems to be a problem for breath of the wild for me since I have not bought the dlc's. I can provide evidence but my girlfriend needs to be home on Sunday so I can provide said evidence I will tag you with the video in comments.

@Alejandroid1979 I don't really care what he says. People that play Pokemon do not care. Nintendo fans do not care. And this is the one issue y'all skip over. This is their only 2nd game being made on something that is not really a handle like the Gameboy an ****

@Th3_Blue_Guy That's not necessarily a problem; Nintendo NPC racers are notorious cheaters.
