Gamer Supremacist Formerly Chuck's
(@EpsteinIsAGamer) reported
@AshleyCunny @fmtovvns His real problem was his emulator. He wasn't getting **** for patron and it's been speculated that his n64 emulator, which is near perfect, uses information from the Nintendo leak. Someone who used stuff the Nintendo leak just got felted by lawyers. I imagine the fear is real.

@I_h8_hamsterman @kunaiss If you mute the mic and cut off rumble about 8 to 12 if everything's running and you're playing games that utilize said features I'd say 4 to 8. I just had to buy a new controller though because of the stick drift same issue as Nintendo. I wasn't patient enough to send it in.

I am not sure precisely why the Switch OLED won’t fix Joy-Con drift. At this point, I’d like to say that I think I have a theory, but I don’t. What do you think about? #Nintendo #NintendoSwitchOLED

@MF_Ninja emulation is fine for those who just want to enjoy the game- but it is only that. as a collector i want an authentic nintendo copy & i appreciate the intrinsic value these cartridges have. my problem lies with people who try to make fake copies and sell them off as authentic.

@JOJONumber691 @pelican_food @TriforceZard They were originally planning to include a RH character in 3DS/Wii U, so Nintendo was seemingly cool with paying the licensing fee. The problem now is that they likely can’t justify the cost without a playable character attached.

@Cedrik1699 Moral of the story You expect Nintendo to be smart, you’re wrong 100%. This is the same company with online that’s severely outdated, so we should already accept the fact they aren’t gonna fix this issue ever

@BadassSamurai @despair_tea Isn't that just muscle memory at some point though? I have never had this problem with the REAL Super Nintendo pad.

@fizzlenuggets @GracieAuteri1 @nintendolife Got news for you. Never threw my first joy cons, EVER, and the pieces of garbage ended up with drifting issues. Nintendo just wants to play stupid and keep selling their ****** joycons. I bought another pair, but if those end up drifting, too. I’m done buying them.

I reported him to Nintendo. People like this in the community just need to grow up and deal with it. And Im not even the one who was lagging it’s probably many others but who cares. If you ever come across this guy, Block him please. we don’t need him in the smash community

nintendo’s handling of animal crossing new horizons is like how I handled every college assignment like eh let’s do the bare minimum and then we’ll review and fix it up later I never fixed it up

@ArtofNP Do you think Nintendo will ever do a complete Nintendo Power book with all the issues in it?

An unopened Nintendo game sells for $1.5 million. How many Americans will go to bed hungry tonight? Our system is so badly broken.

@subaruji_ hi! i had this problem last year. is it not turning on at all or just showing the Nintendo logo screen and then turning off?

@JonComms Agreed, great game. The frame rate drop were more a nuisance than a problem, but it did raise the question of the polish you'd expect from a "full price" Nintendo game.

@WrldNFB @Peter_A_Matusek @nintendolife I have the means to fix the joycons but I still think Nintendo's in the wrong for how faulty their 70+ dollar products are.

@yggdrasilsaltar @WavePrism_ If they got it running on everything at 60fps but the switch, I'd consider that more of a switch problem. It's pretty much forces again (or any release on the switch). They're probably targeting picture quality over framerate, which I think Nintendo prefers devs do

Nintendo could release a music streaming service made for their devices and people would pay for it. (I’m people)

@TheMrPasquale Ok I understand 60fps is better than 30fps, but 30fps runs games perfectly fine. If you have a problem with how Nintendo games are running, then maybe the Switch isn't for you
