(@fightforstarfy) reported
@isacthestarally Unfortunately, I doubt it would be localized for Nintendo Switch Online due to the fact that they don’t usually bring over Japan-exclusive games unless they’re puzzle games that are unlocalized. The only Japan-exclusive game from the service to be localized so far is Fire Emblem.

@littledonutboi I mean the service does work just not for any Nintendo games like I’ve had really good experiences with Uno, Castle Crashers Remastered, Rocket League, Paladins, Ultimate Chicken Horse, and other 3rd party online experiences

@NintendoUK Hi I am trying to access my account but two step verification doesn’t go ahead even with me putting my code from the google Authenticator app. I want to buy a game as it’s on offer and hope i can login to do so before the offer finishes. Please help

@FatcatGarbage @BarnyardFunny @NintendoAmerica Not gonna argue, but at least they're trying? Still need to fix their damn servers though

@DemeechYT i really do think they should just go the Super Crash Bros route and just make it a full on nintendo centric racer instead of just mario plus like a small handful of other reps

Anyone else having issues with Animal Crossing/Nintendo Online? I am trying to have someone come to my island via Dodo Code and it keeps crashing.

@G4MEING_G4MER idk i dont really like any online games so ive only ever tried it with smash and i guess fortnite a while ago, but like if 3rd party developers can put more effort into making you're shitty service work than you can that kinda says something about nintendo's effort

@Salamiiscrazi1 @BrokenGamezHDR_ @AverageG4merYT Online service is something completely different from games, Nintendo's online sucks (I'm Chilean, here is even worst haha) but their game plan is awesome as always. (pretty slow right now but anyway)

@Junkmail_lt @PkAntifreeze your main issue is that "nintendo designs bad games" & when asked why you focus on 1 franchise & hold it to standards that didnt exist at the time & then say "its not worth talking about the others" so i suppose you do the same for the others? If so yea its a bad rubric

@danielurb01 I see. The current situation is definitely pulling me all over the place. I'm relatively in support of #FreeMelee, mainly because I'm fed up with Nintendo's bad actions, though I definitely see some of the issues, especially those being cruel with the spamming.

@OutLawStarLord9 I have no idea. It worked fine yesterday, dead today. It's a common enough problem that there's a huge FAQ on Nintendo's site. None of the processes worked to get it to turn on so I can either mail it to them, pay em 120 bucks, and maybe get it back with my data or buy a new one

@BlissfulMun YIKES. I've had this happen before and it's the worst. Here is Hoping you get your money back. Last time I had an issue the code was too scratched up to use. Nintendo at least sent the money to my account after a call.

@ProseGameof Before the crash of 1983, video gaming was as much a woman’s world and a black world as a white male’s world but after the crash had put many devs out of business, Nintendo had to make a conscious decision to advertise the NES as a boy or girl toy, and they chose boys.

@littledonutboi I think it’s an ok “service” for the price point especially compared to the 60$ a year of the competitors but for Nintendo made games it barely works and ends up feeling like some cash grab instead of an actual service but the old games are cool I just wished they had way more

(@KeengLeezardIII) reported
@Boosted_DGK Yeah that's unfortunately not the point they were trying to make. They basically are saying we shouldn't be complaining about what Nintendo has done because we are "problematic" and we need to fix our own issues within our community which is completely out of touch.

whereas nintendo has shown no signs of wanting to fix their issues, ideally I'd like them to just **** off and stop having any impact on our scene cuz it's overwhelmingly negative #FreeMelee

@G4MEING_G4MER ok but like obviously if a person likes a game, they dont want it to just be shut down cause it wont be "special" if nintendo doesnt pull the plug, dont buy into a trap just cause its funny nintendo and its ok if they make you spend 20 dollars for a shitty service

@julianx2rl @NintendoAmerica yeah the word “online” could be added under the icon too no problem and would still be cool

@fuchsiarascal @YukuChan Yeah I’ve just read through and I’m iPhone I’m afraid :( it just prompts me to a webpage, it disconnects me from the WiFi and connects to my switch with no issues:( I hope Nintendo fixes it soon 🤍

@TravisTeatime Seems like a pretty big detail to omit. Why focus on the Nintendo hacking part as if it's the big issue here lol

Love how my Nintendo Switch will connect to legit everything except my 2 month old @SamsungUS TV. Support just says it’s an issue on Nintendo’s end ... hard to believe as it works everywhere else. Samsung ... maybe patch this issue?? Please?

@BravestCorwin "People pirate games from nintendo because they dont provide the games they want" Gonna need you to take a second and reread that sentence and see if you can figure out the problem with it

@Lbabinz Great, increasing the price of a service that costs Nintendo literal pennies to maintain. I can't believe the greed of the Pokemon Company these last few years.

@eddie_ayyy @AlanWritesStuff @The_Meezus Technically running any single event and broadcasting it is a direct breach of Nintendo's IP. They have the right to pull any stream at any time unfortunately. If they were to go to court that would probably be the stated issue, though we all know its cuz Nintendo hates emulation

@regniroth @Elai79267465 @HYPEX Same here, but here’s the problem, my switch was at Nintendo repair place for like a month and more and more games were coming out for the switch. (Yes the switch is the only console I have that can play fortnite)

@hankgreen Sometimes its the only way to get resolved after repeatedly trying by phone/form. Being able to hold companies accountable has made life a lot easier for consumers. Ex: Nintendo tried to argue joycon drift wasn't really a problem & got demolished. They do free repairs now.
