@JonComms Nintendo should improve their online servers so we can actually play with others instead of seeing error messages.

@Arthur_A_Vtuber Sure do! 3DO is a nice little niche system with some great game titles and better ports than PS1/Saturn. Thankfully CiB isn't that terrible for 3DO unlike any Nintendo title because those prices are just crazy. If you ever get a 3DO I suggest getting FZ-10 because less problems.

@HypeVoiceActing @Canadianguyehh I think that by ,,a lot of Crash stuff coming in 2021'' Acti mostly meant Crash PVP/Wumpa League. But ofc it doesn't mean that they and Nintendo can't add Crash to the Smash roster. Time will tell.

@LillacTyanu @cleveru16605923 @IGN Weird. I've never ever had any stick drift on any original Xbox, 360, Xbox One, Gamecube, PS1, PS2, PS3, and PS4 controllers. Nintendo 64 I did have some stick drift. I cancelled my PS5 pre-order because I knew it's smarter to wait for these problems to be fixed.

@rayforcegame Nintendo doesn't need to change the Zelda cast's skins. If anything, the Gerudo's could have bigger roles in a game to show that people of color can do great things. Problem solved.

@NintendoAmerica Stop wasting time developing merch when you could be developing your online service.

So convenient that Nintendo put a link to Switch online on the home screen so I can look at all the special offers that they aren’t having and see how long I’ve been paying for this service that I barely use.

@BlackDGamer1 "If you only play Nintendo games, then you're not a gamer. Stay ******** out of gaming normie." If that sounds ok to you, then you have a problem. Disgusting.

@kitestarKL Uh, I think you are asking why fix this? I dunno, Nintendo has a history of removing things like this.

@sampson3121 @Lv1Gaming I doubt it this is picked up by the same folks running the Nintendo joycon this is not only due to inconvenience its because of the controller being labeled as defective and its a widespread issue But hey hopefully it's quickly resolved I dealt with the joycon issue n it suckd

@delvin_cox If they knew about it, Shame on them, if they didn’t and it was something that popped up after deployment, then as long as they are working to fix it. Hopefully they don’t try to pull a Nintendo and try to hide the problem...oh wait...

(@Sakirae_) reported
Has nintendo learned we like harmless glitches? Basically every harmless glitch from 3DWorld wasn't patched in the port. Cat momentum and Ice speed being the main ones. Also a few smaller ones are still present. They clearly had the time to patch them but didn't

my Nintendo Switch doesn't have the joycon drift problem, it has THE OTHER joycon problem where the locking mechanism is ****** so in the middle of gameplay the Switch goes "ARE YOU TAKING THE JOYCONS OFF!?"

@zerd1308 @Stealth40k why wait though? They didn’t have a problem celebrating fire emblem’s 30th anniversary at the same time as Mario’s. But it’s really all up in the air at this point. Haha Nintendo does whatever they want

@nintendult @NintendoAmerica Looks like a Wii off brand. Be careful. I stuck one of those in my Wii and got an error message immediately. Waste of $60.

@Mendinso Which I agree is bullshit and I wish more Nintendo games had options for accessability issues which their competitors run circles around them...for the most part. I rarely see anything for color blind characters for first party titles from Microsoft and Sony

@MarkLundie1 @J_Nolan93 @Canadianguyehh Activision does send stuff relating to unannounced game's right before the game is announced same thing just happened right before the crash 4 Nintendo switch Xbox series X and PC ports were Announced and Activision told YouTubers not to show it until those ports were Announced

@a_little_rat @animalcrossing It's not working for me either. Have my nintendo account linked to my game, it tells me I'm on the most recent version, and I unlocked Isabelle long long ago. CJ happens to be on my island today for some reason, but I'd think the game would block other NPCs :(
