Also on the nintendo servers thing, i think the issue is more of what they were using to interpret input from clients and not the server architecture like i am fairly certain you can get a rollback solution to work on those old servers with some doing

I hate Paige and Leilani they literally got me in trouble for playing my Nintendo Switch even though I have my work done and ofc they have to ruin it for me but when it’s someone else they don’t ******* care it’s like everything I do is a crime.

Every console manufacturer *and* streaming service dogfoods their own platform. Netflix & Amazon make shows and films. Sony, MS, and Nintendo all make games for their own devices. Even Valve makes games. Sorta. That Google is cashing out of dogfooding Stadia is a big red flag.

@PhantomArtifice @AdultNep789 Considering that Monster Hunter games on Nintendo platforms never had any issues I think it's odd that Rise is being the first to test it. That tells me the online is so bad that Monster Hunter needs the upgrade.

People responding to the Nintendo news with incredulity about how old NEX is as if the matchmaking server is the reason why their p2p netcode has so many problems in-game are funny

@BabyDan67148992 @NintendoAmerica Yes it does because of the game was coded correctly to detect cheats and controllers with turbo functionality and controllers with Macro functionality then the game would be a fair game 100% the problem is the game is not a fair game because the switch is unable to detect it

@KonanaRillah Explains... So damn much. Maybe with the new system, 20$ a year for Nintendo online will finally be worth the trouble.

@HappiestAku Well the success of the Nintendo Switch and failure of Stadia goes to show the industry once again that gamers aren't a big fan of the game streaming service. Ya think they would've learned from OnLive and Sony's PS Now switching from streaming to download.

Nintendo Multiplayer servers are 18 years old? They're the GAMECUBE online servers? Damn, no wonder they were having trouble, that's some majorly outdated tech

@unclebami Is it the left joystick drifting? If so, you can send it back to nintendo and they'll repair it free of charge (goodwill as it's an ongoing issue)

@AboutNintendo Honestly I’m not even complaining about the online if they’re truly improving it, like sure it’s ridiculously bad right now but if they fix it then that’s what I’ll care about Granted I did only get back into Nintendo last year so that could be why I feel this way

@envinyon Actually it’s a lot worse than you think Nintendo has been recycling their servers since the original DS online service those servers have gone through the wii dsi dsi xl Wii U 3ds 3dsxl etc and worse even if they update to new servers it will still take 8 hours part 2

"Nintendo finally updated their outdated servers, this surely will fix their online!" The ignorant Nintendo fan says as they don't know all of their games are peer2peer

i am in awe that in the midst of a pandemic while other game companies were boosting their online services nintendo did absolutely nothing and still continues to charge money for their horrid service 🤮

@FinalWeaponX4 I'm not that knowledgeable about how this really works, but how much will this benefit the quality of Nintendo's online service exactly...?

1/6 **NINTENDO SCART CABLE ALERT** See my Tweet from earlier. There are a couple of vendor's who haven't been properly bonding the grounds in the multi-out of the cable. I've determined that not all @Insurrection33 SNES SCART cables properly reference ground, causing problems.

It's hard for me to defend Nintendo's online service when I just learned it was like 18 years old lmao ... Like, I'm still going to do it (Seriously, Smash Ultimate has just worked well for me??), I'm just saying it's definitely a more uphill battle now

@EchoTheThird I thought the big problem with Nintendo was their hatred of fangames?
