    @TimoTim19 @Dee_Batch I agree. Those Gamepass $1 deals are always available. So answer this for me…please. Why did a 💩online service strictly for Nintendo platforms, surpassed GP within a couple months while GP failed to hit its mark with both PC and Xbox combined?

  • mecal
    mecal (@mecal) reported

    The fact that by creating my @PikminBloom acct using my Nintendo login has blocked me from connecting to my other @NianticLabs accts is enough for me to not play. I submitted to claim tripandglide as my Niantic ID. What are you going to do to my tripandglide pikmin acct then?

  • poncho_playa
    PlayaPoncho (@poncho_playa) reported

    @TimoTim19 @Dee_Batch Nintendo online service is tied to only Nintendo’s platforms and not PC. GP came out 6/1/2017. But Nintendo’s online service has been out for a couple of months and surpassed GP easily. That tells me a lot about the lack of support from the Xbox community.

  • FierceGlomps

    More specifically the fact that Nintendo on the whole felt they could justify DOUBLING the price of the online service that they’ve been running for three…? Years…? And basically done nothing

    @NintendoAmerica Please fix the N64 games

  • Mr_McScrewup
    mr. mcscrewup (@Mr_McScrewup) reported

    None of the ******* companies out there should be making you pay extra to play online. Nintendo's online service being worse than the Wii U in so many ways just makes having to pay for it all the more insulting.

    @KirbyKid__ @Scion_Nitsua It isn't just Nintendo though. Bluetooth audio is really bad about lag on nearly every device I've used. sometimes my phone gets a full half-second behind when I'm watching yt, and windows is even worse. I'd be more surprised if it WAS good.

    And now that Nintendo of America's support is closed for the night, I'm basically screwed till the next day. I waited almost 2 full weeks to receive my Switch OLED, only for it to give me a problem that I would have never even thought of

  • Naveed_Mohebbi
    Naveed (@Naveed_Mohebbi) reported

    Ok so I agree that "good enough" shouldn't be what Nintendo strives for with the N64 Switch stuff but am I crazy in thinking that most of it is pretty good other than the OoT issues and the button mapping crap? Like input lag is minimal, the games run well and look good... idk.

    why can’t Nintendo just fix their online man this game would be so fun

    @cornfox The %99 glitch in oceanhorn 2 collect all power shards doesn't register when complete therefore making you forever stuck at 99% instead of 100%. Please report this to your glitch team. Everyone who owns the game on @rNintendoSwitch @NintendoAmerica switch is getting stuck 99%.

    @poncho_playa @Dee_Batch I mean...if we are comparing online services with Nintendo...why was PS Now the FIRST games service out of the three, yet is no where near either of them??? Must be even more💩if thats your logic. And I loved the way you glossed over Steams sales of FH5 haha.

    @sonata_no1 They're expensive because Nintendo. This company would sooner improve its online service than drop the price on one of its products.

    Thinking about streaming Nintendo games like Animal Crossing, Splatoon, and Smash starting this holiday (mid December). Where should I start? YouTube? Twitch? Kinda trying to fix login issues with Twitch, but yeah!

    @DuvalMagic Yo Randy, your company ever going to fix Borderlands 2 on Switch? It's literally unplayable as of now downloading a fresh copy from the Nintendo eshop.

    Love my Switch but literally every controller I've owned or purchased for it has given me problems. Every single one. 😑 @NintendoAmerica

    @NintendoAmerica hey, i bought the OLED version and it came faulty. Wifi does not work and hangs sometimes on reboot. I can’t contact the seller and I dont’t know how to solve my problem. I’m from Chile

  • GryphonAMX
    GryphonAMX (@GryphonAMX) reported

    @misnhemoglobin The N64, Switch, and NES caused most of these problems. It's Nintendo's fault. (But this is also part of an office redo that's kinda been on hiatus...)

    @BiplaneAlpha I doubt it. Nintendo is the only controller that I have known to have that issue at scale

  • Neoxon619
    Nabil #BlackLivesMatter #StopAsianHate (@Neoxon619) reported

    @poondonkus Going by the rumors, apparently it was an issue of cost, as Disney’s asking price was said to be too high for Nintendo. I guess Nintendo either bit the financial bullet or managed to get the price down.

    @Rivurrion ET causing the gaming crash, which eventually lead to the success of Nintendo. Nintendo succeeding eventually allowed them to collaborate with Sony. But that fell through so Sony made PlayStation. The founding of PlayStation lead to Xbox existing too. All because of ET.

    @yorialu @Canadianguyehh I'd say that's more of an issue with Nintendo's rather poor support of legacy content in general, but that's an entirely different can of worms. lmao

    Disliking this whole scarcity problem with new consoles, mainly the Nintendo Switch OLED, because it's been a month or two and I haven't even seen one in retail stores. #NintendoSwitchOLED
