Imagine trashing Nintendo when without them video games might’ve looked very different. They were influential in fixing the market after the video game crash of 1983.

@siracusa Is it still advisable to open a new console (Nintendo switch) and update it in advance of Christmas to avoid software update issues?

@stancosmos_stan @SlickL_CPU @UR2SLOW_ That's the whole problem. He speaks out against Nintendo for their horrible business decisions (#FreeMelee), but would completely ignore the ones from CDProjektRed, namely their alarming crunch practices.

@GatoNookCL @VilosGames @SavedYouAClickV I'm no expert but servers do cost alot but Nintendo online servers are garbage. The subscription is good 20dollars a year with nes and snes games is nice but the online needs work. I'd pay online for good servers and perks but nintendo needs to fix their 💩

@King_Mamzy This is true, luckily Nintendo online is extremely cheap compared to it’s competitors, (which is probably why it works like a garbage man without a truck), but surprisingly some of the online games are pretty functional, i’ve had no issues with MarioKart / Maker.. Smash though...

@Chozobill I'll prob only ever pre-order 1st party Nintendo games and Rockstar games from here on out. I know that nintendo world never ship a broken game (maybe one light on content, but not broken) and Rock star usually fixes that stuff w/ day one patch or v quickly

@FortniteStatus Hi. Letting you know that there is a major stability issue on Nintendo Switch since the latest update, where the entire screen will turn white and require that the console is power-cycled. This seems to occur at the beginning of matches before dropping from the battle bus.

@myroyeah @CliffDiverHill @SavedYouAClickV I'm pretty sure it's because Nintendo fans still aren't used to playing for online. Nintendo was the last one out of the three to add a paid service, but the paid service is trash and 10 years behind.

@NintendoAmerica HOW IS YOUR CUSTOMER SERVICE SO GOOD?! Set up to ship my kids Switch back (outta warranty), and for real, the customer service rep actually helped increase brand loyalty. I did customer service for AOL and you guys are so much better than we ever were.
