  @Azerkeux @SkillUpYT Bud, I know what you're talking about. You called the ps4 analog stick problem Joycon drift. Joycons is specifically a Nintendo product, that's all I was saying.

  @BeardedSonOfNel The best one! I have never had the big issue with the standard N64 controller, but I can’t lie. Playing with the new @retrofightersco controller has me seriously into the Nintendo 64 again. All of these games feel better than they ever have.

  @TAHK0 I stopped playing because I thought my island was too ugly and there was no way to fix it. :( I hate the competitive feel animal crossing has now, and Im glad Nintendo is playing it in a non-competitive way.

  @darknight360x Did that happen when starting AOC? Have you tried restarting? If so, it'd probably be best to contact Nintendo. Sorry you're having trouble!

  @ralphtheslime Of course it's your property, and hacking (not for cheating) isn't an issue. However, piracy is illegal, and Nintendo has every right to remove tools built to allow piracy on their consoles from the market.

  Modern day kids: Forknife bes gaem Me, who's been studying the history of video games: First of all, shut up, second of all, you wonuldn't have your dumb game if it weren't for the video game crash of 1983 OR the Nintendo and Sega console wars, or anything after that.

  @Sailor_Soffie You do animal crossings on the switch, right? My seven year old daughter wants it but I'm confused. Can you play stand alone or must it be online and if so do you have to sign up to a paid Nintendo service to make it work? Thanks.

  @plaguecult Have you ordered refurbished from Nintendo before? I tried a bajillion times and keep getting an error so they have a ticket submitted with their IT dept, just seeing your experience. Just my luck! 🤞🏼 it’s still there when they fix it!

  @KevCayde79 @SkillUpYT @GaryDiaz86 I don’t think it’ll be too bad tbh. No worst than Nintendo’s JoyCon drift issue anyway.

  @MegaMilotic nintendo: being anti consumer to the point where it damages their image and integrity its absolutley disgusting to see this **** happen, i cant believe nintendo thinks that joycon drift isnt an issue, and i also cant believe that they simply cant switch your account over.

  @yestotheying also that villager that didn’t thank me or give me a gift did it again! I don’t like it! I’d like to think he’s not being rude, but I’ve never had this happen with any other villagers! @NintendoAmerica please fix this!

  @MattMcMuscles Yeah it ain't happening, but worth noting that Nintendo has nothing to do with any of it nowadays (Nor 12 years ago) The cancellation of XBLA wasn't because of them but Rare simply having no rights to publish or develop Bond games - along tons of other issues.

  @rainbowraxia @nintendolife The amazon retailer was selling RCM loaders. Most people who mod their Switch do it to play retro games instead of waiting for Nintendo to do it. Go read the article lmfao. And Piracy will forever be an issue for Nintendo because they won't listen directly to what fans want.

  - like Nintendo or Sony won't be in this market. The only companies who've tried so far are a tech company who was getting in trouble with loads of other gaming companies cuz of bullshit and... Google. Who shat the bed. I honestly think this could be a change in Xbox, and I want-

  @ScottJohnsonArt Exactly and that's not even getting into the broken mess that is their copyright system being a bot. Correct me if I'm wrong but doesn't NINTENDO own Mario and the music from Super Mario 64, not SONY?

  Incoherent Screech (@kanchosuper) reported 52 minutes ago

  @MattMcMuscles I doubt Nintendo's involvement is really an issue, they sold off all of Rare's original IPs with the company and never owned the Bond IP in the first place. The real issue is probably getting the original code but that could be solved with just doing a remake (like this but good)

  @TDeezzy19 @Nibellion that's just the risk of being first day / first month buyers. Almost all consoles that have been released always come with hardware issues. every Xbox, Nintendo, and sony have first day issues. there are compilation videos of first day buyers having problems on youtube.

  @SyedforLondon see I was genuinely surprised people took issue with the granddad bit and not none of us knowing what it was called beyond "the nintendo" or "the big gameboy". this was the early-mid 00s too mind you!
