@VFBaller Nintendo also likely has ZERO interest in bringing their exclusive franchises to PC. This is one area where "Lagging Behind" might actually benefit them.

@NintendoAmerica Is it safe to delete your island? Apparently there's a glitch where if somebody has you on their in friends list and you delete your Island, they won't be able to visit your new one. Was this ever fixed?

@hartz_danny @CSA0905 Maybe possibly because they didn't know this crap was going on when they did? Honestly this should be embarrassing for Nintendo. This isn't the only issue I've heard about with their expansion pack.

@shawceresita I mean the fact that they fork over money while complaining and supporting Nintendo even when they see the problem yeah. No if it just people who don't own or even like Nintendo doing it obviously no.

@Ozymandias88_ @p3wx4 @BenjiSales OK so then there’s no point in comparing Microsoft to Nintendo or Sony right? You can’t compare Sony to Xbox if Sony’s not doing the exact same thing as Xbox. When’s Sony put their games day and date on PC and day and date on a subscription service then we can compare the two

That is a better question, do I want more games with the Nintendo Online service or better service. Personally me, rather have the better service and mic support. Rather move forward with new games and not stick to the past.

@NintendoAmerica I don't think I've ever seen a game sell SO WELL that a demo is released a month after the retail version. Congrats! Now fix your N64 emulation.

Our @madebygoogle Nest has a known chip issue in it & it took them 3 weeks to organise a LINK so I could order a replacement. I broke a button off my Switch and @NintendoUK had a courier at my house THE NEXT MORNING.

@RockLoi @Coopdaloop23 @NintendoAmerica The point of the N64 controller's design was to introduce players to three-directional movement while still allowing developers to ignore that in favor of D-Pad controls. I think it works. I never had a problem with it. It was never gonna win the layout war, though. 😑

@DemonTomatoDave Does this happen in other games? One of my joycon sets is fine in handheld mode but gets seemingly random lag when I play on TV. Apparently Nintendo will fix this for free but I still haven't mailed them in.

@Ozymandias88_ @p3wx4 @BenjiSales So all of a sudden we should judge Sony and Nintendo based on what Microsoft is doing that is asinine. Sony Nintendo are the market leaders Microsoft is the one login behind but they’re the trying to change the traditional model to make it not look as bad for them

@PoofVII @NintendoAmerica And that has (usually) good connection, better online functions, better store, you can invite your friends to games. You can even send messages. I know it sounds petty but like... it feels like Nintendo just has a game streaming service with online tacked on.

@tgdev91 @Toufool Emulation is never perfect on N64, both on official Nintendo emulators and 3rd party. No-one was expecting perfect emulation. There's several things that we knew wouldn't cross Nintendo's mind as it doesn't matter to the majority of consumers (eg. lag emulation)

@Ozymandias88_ @p3wx4 @BenjiSales What should we look at then when Xbox is the only console maker that’s putting games day and date on pc and a Subscription service at the same time when Sony and Nintendo is not? So we shouldn’t judge them all the same when Xbox is the one moving
