An egregious amount of mice
(@JustLurking__) reported
@PaperWorldMan1 @ScottFalco THE PROBLEM: Nintendo is a coward and won’t give us Metroid prime 4. THE SOLUTION: WE MAKE THE METROID PRIME 4 OURSELVES. Is that better?

@KirbyEarthbound @RodimusMajor_ @NintendoAmerica >It's on Nintendo's account That's precisely the problem, it's unrelated self promo when Nintendo's just trying to advertise a game.

@johnblueriggs @NintendoAmerica John that is one of the things I thought. I want to make a 60 hour jrpg like Final Fantasy VI. The RPG Maker Mv on ps4 has too many problems and Dreams is too complex for me. I want something easy like Mario Maker but for turn based jrpg's.

@ConsciousMisery @PhilJackal // The closest nintendo got was pay for literally a few dollars a month for the online service, optional DLC that adds things like Characters, weapons, costumes, and you also get FREE ******* CLASSIC GAMES WITH THE SERVICE! That's how you do that ****.

@IGN so the same strategy as Sony and Nintendo (substitute games for service in Nintendo's case) lol

@johnnyUniVoEX @yxmidnightwolf @NintendoAmerica For sure. Nintendo onows their service is bad, but they also know people will continue to pay for it regardless. They chose to offer less than the competition to play it safe enough to earn a larger profit than when it was free.

@NintendoAmerica I can’t tell if people actually don’t like this, this seems really cool and I fail to see a problem with it.

@larsiusprime @nightblade99 i love the tool and the games that ppl made on, unfortunally only two games i played from it that didn't crash and was stable (from same guy too). the rest even the ones on Nintendo devices are broken, quite sad.

Okay, but I'm really interested in this Game Builder Garage. If Nintendo doesn't limit the options or make too many Monkey's Paw situations, they really could have their own version of Dreams, and that sounds awesome! But knowing Nintendo, there will be some problems at first.

@1MarkTwain Nintendo will repair them for free. It’s a widespread issue.

(@NotLordPyromon) reported
@turbo_ace @NintendoAmerica It’s basically Dreams for the Switch. I didn’t ask for it but it’s a welcome surprise. As long as they don’t ban people who make fan games (which I can totally see them doing) I see no issue with this.

@GuardianPigeon Ah, ok that I agree at least in part. The £20 for Nintendo online service is something Pokemon has no control over and gets no share from As for the price I have no idea how expensive it costs to run this sort of thing so I can’t give an opinion there 1/2

@CEOofOMORI Not sure but the prob is that for some odd reason cuz Nintendo is trash that when u connect wired the controller has more input lag lol so I don’t wanna do it

(@kitcatto16) reported
@TommoTheCabbit Nintendo basically just replaces the sticks instead of ‘repairing’ them. So, why not try to replace them yourself~? . Its really easy and would probably fix all 3 of them in one day once you get the parts 👀

@NintendoAmerica If I had this type of tool as a kid, I would be excited to make games. I don’t see a problem for kids to get into game design with this tool. If you’re so butt-hurt by this just because this is not BotW 2 or Prime 4, fine - don’t buy it. Just don’t ruin this for the rest of us.

@Thine_Spidet @NintendoAmerica I'm already inspired to help develop because I'm sick and tired of people complaining about bugs and glitches when it takes a while to fix.

@NintendoAmerica Kind of funny that you would lead this video with a joycon joystick, considering that's a huge issue with the Switch that you're failing to address properly.

@agamerlooksat40 I never had a subscription to NP, sadly. But I DID luck out when a local store was closing, and got a PILE of 'em for super cheap, many good classic issues. Early 90s Nintendo Power, Gamepro and EGM were all fantastic.

@JonComms With robust online features, this could overcome the issues Labo had + appeal to an older audience. Although I can’t help but feel a little let down by seeing another weird Nintendo announcement, that’s not a resurrection of one of the many franchises from their IP graveyard.
