@KHemmings94 It is a good question. My friend sells some Pokémon fanart of his own on Mugs, Coasters and Tiki masks, now moving onto "Fusion Pokémon". Obviously with Nintendo, I worry one morning that his knees will be broken by them, but honestly doesn't seem like the worse thing. 🤔

@inkuusan Yeah, but they have to make it for a Nintendo console, that's the problem.

@Angelfluff723 @rd_steen @OatmealDome This is the issue with criticism towards Nintendo, you and everyone expect them to be super on top of things like a super machine when they're only as capable as the people they have employed. That they fixed it at all should be enough.

@videotech_ @SynthPotato Well to be fair Nintendo only really cares about Nintendo so if the hardware isn’t powerful enough for others that’s an issue but not for Nintendo lol. As long as their first party games play and sell they do not give two shits

@AlmostAHero Yeah, that's happened to me, so I've lost my entire library of review games on my kerplunkte 3DS :( Which wouldn't be a problem, if Nintendo wasn't so ***-over-backwards with digital ownership in the modern age.

@faverwalbs i think its cuz nintendo 64 emulation is a pain in the *** to get running and finding a Nintendo 64 console and the games can be really expensive, so its expected that people would complain for a 50 dollar service that is worse than the wii vc more than 10 years later

@M7mDkun @eckoxsoldier Shields are still broken on the Nintendo switch. You can't see it in first person. Been broken since the nether update.

@thereal_edwin @RGT_85 @toastinTURTL3 I have a 3080 aswell and it's just one area, the first one. It's just nitpicking, hypocritical and false to say botw and other nintendo games dont suffer from the exact same issues, and even worse since they're 30 fps.

@Cahlum_R @NintendoUK Tried to change the address of my OLED preorder/cancel to do just that and got cut off by the live chat, then emailed and got a snotty rep telling me under no circumstances would that be possible. Dreadful customer service.

@TrunksWD The question is can the Switch pass ps4 numbers this year? Nintendo also have stock issue.

The fact nobody has problems remembering **** like "Apple IPhone 13 Pro Max" makes me think our parents were just being jerks when they couldn't remember names like "Nintendo 64"

@animegolem I really dont dislike the look of fake scanlines i think the nintendo online service filter and the street fighter anniversary collection filter looks pretty good.

Having said that, I think having classic games (titles no longer available for purchase) as part of a service is an amazing idea! #Nintendo got it right. Exclusive games don't belong in this type of model. It should be about providing new opportunities, not taking them away.

Good to see Nintendo Switch Online being updated to fix emulation issues, but there’s still so much more they can do with it to justify the cost. Adding Sin and Punishment is a great start, so why not add some other Japan exclusives? The N64DD library would make a great inclusion

@PowerJusho_KH13 @Debulover2 @razzadoop Like I said, that isn't really a problem. The only one who actually has shut down their stores is Nintendo. Steam has been a thing since the 90s, PS3 servers are still up, and Xbox servers are still up except for OG Xbox Live (even then OG Love isn't a storefront)

@9KnightLife My issue is I get them anyway. I have so many games on my PlayStation, xbox and switch. Still probably wind up getting this and another game on my switch. Nintendo sent me a birthday coupon lol so I have to use it

Also emulating games is the only as big as it is because nintendo doesn't know what makes a good service. Everyone isnt paying 50€/$ just for some lazily put together n64 games. So I encourage you to never buy into something that hasn't been cared for.

@soulsilverart Nintendo and game freak already have issues fitting the total number of mons, we don’t need another 100+, spins offs and new models like LOA are the way to go, not spitting out new Pokémon every 3 years

@sck8182 @EthanTHFC @nintendolife A streaming service really needs to approach Nintendo with a solid idea for a Zelda animated series (and not do what Netflix did and leak it out early)

@xMBGx I said the same thing and got eaten alive. There’s a bunch of bias for from software games. Kinda similar to Nintendo games. It’s ok for elden ring to have issues and get 10s

There's still no NPLN online library yet... but there's something I missed that's also in the NES/SNES update: there's an access to mnpp:app service. Currently mnpp is disabled, and I suspect it stands for My Nintendo Platinum Points. We know it manages missions.

Nintendo Switch users who dock it & play via PC - has anyone else had this issue? Sound coming headphones through, BUT it's crackly / distorted (headphones work for everything else) I want to play Pokemon Arceus on stream but currently can't due to this issue 😭 #nintendoswitch

@noideamindempty @Rev_ADB Nintendo did not intend to make him taller because they made him shorter in age of calamity, the newer game. That’s just how they want to design him now, look at the botw 2 trailer. Why is there a problem with link being shorter anyways lol

@Pop_Caitlin @TheMasonTweeter Wii U and 3DS are different. Games aren’t tied to your account on those systems because Nintendo was dumb. PlayStation, Xbox and Steam games are tied to your account. Your machine dying won’t be an issue.

Not gonna lie, I actually preferred the lack of fog in the #NintendoSwitchOnline N64 app. Good though to see Nintendo is listening and fixing problems people are having.

Ever since I bought the Wii U I've constantly had issues with my Nintendo Consoles. And right now my switch wont ******* detect my microSD card. It's the most annoying thing ever. I know for a fact that it's not the SD card so now I have to send it to nintendo to get charged a
