@brannonmc Among Us was the biggest game craze for my family throughout 2020. Since Christmas it’s been the new Nintendo Switch. Now that I know Among Us is on the Switch, we’re in trouble.

@ChoctopusYT I can't keep my head going. How can Final fantasy 7 run on Nintendo Switch pro without a cloud service? It's just not possible.

How tech support should go... TECH: I see you were born in the 80's, did you own or ever play a Nintendo in the 80's? CUSTOMER: yes. TECH: I'll organise a technician to come out and fix your problem. CUSTOMER: sweet.

When crash 4 comes to Nintendo Switch, do you still buy for that difficulty again? In my case, I always go out for a long time, so I want to play even while commuting, so I want to buy it.

@TheSmashToons Funny how this is the opposite of how the problem typically is/was with Nintendo. Where they revealed too much, and while recent times feels like they have been better about leaving surprises for us to discover, this feels like too much course correction the opposite way.

@BiscottiDom Yknow when you don’t like something/someone and you see issues with everything they do? This is me with Nintendo and them releasing a switch pro. And some games natively only running on it. ALLEGEDLY.

@KingPotatoMCX @McTroid Yeah but that’s the problem, everything is from that’s cool for someone to that’s fricking big. Also Fallout new Vegas isn’t fallout 3, but like yeah there’s literally too much cause Nintendo wouldn’t bless us this hard.

The mother 2 & 3 script (not sure what it was officially called) released in japan a couple of moths ago. Which leads to my part two of this theory: It's going to release on the GBA nintendo switch online, and all other Mother games will release on their system's online service.

Was having trouble finding dedicated print ads for these, outside an extended Nintendo Magazine System article. Guess these spin-offs were generally too small for the effort?

@khellsiexd Seen that leak floating around today, but looks kind of game if you take a closer look. Too many errors in it to seem like an official Nintendo memo.

@Pocket_Camp Again NINTENDO IS NOT responsible for your phones inability to play the game. It is your phone’s service provider that is the problem. Stop blaming a company that has no control over whether your phone company will allow it to run certain apps. Fix it & stop complaining.

@settlersofcatan I bought Catan for the nintendo switch because I thought it would be an equal experience to Catan Universe. But I NEVER am able to play online. Auto Match just doesn't work. Can you please fix that? And is there anything in the works for cross play?

@verynetwork 19th Dec we ordered a Nintendo Game. It's still not here and your call centre is refusing to refund/replace saying the issue is with Royal Mail. No No. NO. You picked the wrong person to try that **** on. Its YOUR responsibility!

@xotmatrix the fact that drift is a MASSIVE issue, and new joycons cost eighty bucks is honestly the biggest slap in the face from Nintendo to me, ever

@FazzioRonnie @Stealth40k Rare had its issues that clashes with Nintendo phylosophies, and their creative minds were also leaving the company after the buy-out.

@bluebeezle @FatalityFalcon It’s a Nintendo problem. They’ve manually implemented input delay into the base game and have continuously neglected the opportunity to improve the online experience despite having the ability to do so at one point.

There were Nintendo direct "leaks" which was basically a photo of a printed page (with spelling errors) and people believe its real...? Seriously though this really need to happen every single month? How are people not exhausted of hyping themselves up for absolutely no reason?

Aside from some spelling errors the thing that stands out the most in regards to that Nintendo direct “leak” is that FF 7 remake is coming to pro. Lmao pls gta V I understand but I honestly don’t believe that even switch pro could handle FF 7 remake

@xotmatrix I'm so miffed this isn't a standard thing. If my Switch JoyCons had adjustment pots (I'd happily settle for some micro-scale SMD things internally, voiding my already expired warranty) I could avoid paying a quarter of the console's price to fix Nintendo's bad design.
