Remember that people went nuts laughing at Nintendo for announcing Pokémon Sleep but Todd Howard became a household name for shilling buggy, broken games with a smile on his face.

@Chopsaus @NintendoAmerica @Atlus_West Some issues have been fixed, some have not. People are hoping they put out another patch

@imranzomg Yup, my thoughts exactly. I love the grip and the feel of the face buttons, but the triggers and d-pad are big cons for this thing. It’s honestly a pain to play 2D platformers on this controller, which is a big problem considering this is a 1st party Nintendo controller.

@JinxTuna ive only used online for overcooked, i find it was only horrible when i connected to ppl overseas, at least i assume based on their foreign character names, but when i connect with friends few miles away there's 0 issues online. nintendo online really that crap most of the time?

grammar "I need a 2021 name?" phone

@bizzaroren Sony already has a compulsory online service that they could easily use to offer older titles they don't make a profit on, even if it's only first party ones. These games are part of gaming history. The fact that Nintendo still hasn't brought the VC to Switch is just as galling.

@LordYuudai @NintendoAmerica @amazon Why are you asking this on a Nintendo tweet? Contact Amazon directly if you’re having an issue there

@killerstk35 Well, at the sake of sounding like a broken record, this gives me even less reason to support Sony. And why I refuse to buy a PS5. I'll stick with Switch, since Nintendo has more respect for their customers.

Game companies say how piracy is an increasing problem yet fail to realize that they don’t give people an official mean to access old games. Looking at you Nintendo and Sony

@sackchief nintendo was axing 3 games + ending service for a game nobody plays but nobody bats an eye when whole generations of games are vaninishing in a few months

@yggdrasilsaltar @NintendoAmerica @Atlus_West It was a bit lazy, but they’ve patched it so it’s better. There’s still definitely things they need to fix, but I wouldn’t say it’s bad, just overpriced

@Vets4AP No issue here LEOs have been shooting kids with toy guns for years, even after they were mandated to be Safe looking Saw a post last night with a gun that looked like a Nintendo light gun

@lostkagamine the circle pad pro used to fix that but then the new 3ds got a nub so Nintendo said **** you i guess

@NintendoAmerica @Atlus_West So what's SMT like? From what I could gather, it's similar to Persona but there's no social simulator stuff and you recruit demons instead of shadows/Personas. I've also heard that it's really hard, I'm not that good at RPGs so that could be a problem lol

Decided to disconnect the treadmill desk Nintendo set up during the workweek because having a literal hedonic treadmill in here was a little too on the nose.

@InnerslothDevs Hey, I sent you today a bugreport with 3 bugs on Nintendo Switch. It does not allow me to join any online game because on the online-game selection screen, buttons and joysticks on the joycons are simply not active! Details in the email. Pls fix. Cant play

@spic_viper I can fix this, think if changing a battery in a computer, I can/will do it. Still not as bad as what Nintendo did with wii-ware a few years back either T__T

@the_real_enno @NintendoAmerica @Atlus_West Did they not fix the loading issues it had at launch in japan? That's been my primary concern.

@yggdrasilsaltar @NintendoAmerica @Atlus_West They patched most of the problems. Two major things they didn't do are redo the music so it doesn't sound compressed and fix the cutscenes so they're hd & aren't 4:3

@Romudeth If the hardware, software, and games were not so locked down and restricted this wouldn't be such an issue as the community could more easily take care of things. The community already takes better care of the Switch then Nintendo, and is keeping the older hardware going [2]

People be complaining about @NintendoAmerica’s online service for the switch but not @PlayStation’s or @Xbox’s online service the price point for both of those are worse

@Foshizzanator Mh probably has way less issues than any Nintendo 1st party game's online but it will still be an improvement.

Something dumb I've always wanted to collect all of are Nintendo Power issues. My dream job as a kid was to be a graphic designer for NP. Sad it closed down before I could. (I did end up becoming a GD for a magazine company so there is that...)

Still waiting on those *******' nerfs, Nintendo. quit sucking their milk jugs and balance your ******* game! I died at 90% from Pyra's goddamn up-B, TWICE. Not even a direct hit, either, but it's still broken regardless!

@TitanfallBlog This Infinite Heat Shield Glitch is still happening. Lost match a few hours ago on Olympus with last enemy squad clearly in another part of the map dancing around. I was on Nintendo Switch.

@NintendoAmerica @Atlus_West Did anyone ever think that maybe there is some kind of legal issue stopping Atlas from putting P5 on switch?

@TitanfallBlog This glitch is still happening. Might be another method still, devs. Encountered a few hours ago in Olympus on Nintendo Switch.
