@SpongicX I heard that they managed to get Snowdrop to work easily on the Switch Dev Kit with no issues. Yeah, the engine is capable on running on High PC tech and Next Gen consoles, but managing it to get the engine running on Switch is impressive. Nintendo just needs Switch on more power

@zeldahorizons I think the problems stems from the fact that games like Mario Kart, Animal Crossing, and maybe Splatoon 3 are cash cows for Nintendo right now. They have no incentive to update any other game if they’re not receiving the same amount of attention. Kirby and Metroid deserved more.

@LibLiberationn If I’m gonna be honest that’s the only thing really holding the game bad, all I’m gonna say is suck it up until they fix them video game making is hard and Nintendo does not have good servers this game is so good it’s just some things are good I get why you are mad

@orangeisborange I’m sure it’ll come out eventually - even if it takes longer if they have to change some things to avoid any issues. It’s incredibly rare for Nintendo to just cancel a project this far into development these days - if they were going to drop it, I think we would know by now.

@wasatch_wind @GoNintendoTweet I think the problem is we all played Zelda as kids and have grown up (while continuing to play Zelda) so we want stuff tailered to be more mature. But nintendo will never do that. They always, no matter how old we get, will target kids.

When will @PokemonUnite allow me to disconnect or delete accounts? I accidentally made a new account with my Nintendo account. I have Google and Pokémon Trainer Club attached to my older account, but I’ve had my Nintendo account for years and everything is attached to it.

You have to think at this point in the game, Nintendo needs to blow handheld consoles out of the water. I mean Steam Deck is a legit threat to the market as it can play not only switch games but PC games with few issues. They need something that would be top-of-the-line.

@RaymanForSmash The only problem with this is that the DLC and the game is exclusive to Nintendo switch :(

@ForDogandDonut @68Logic Yes but it's only now starting to pop up, it took forever for Nintendo to address the joy con drifting issues from the time it was first discovered I'm sure it'll take time but if more people end up with this issue, then I can see refunds happening and Sony fixing future batches

@NintendoAmerica Your Nintendo Switch Online service is GARBAGE: you're literally locking up online multiplayer behind a paywall And for @Roblox to be released on the Nintendo Switch, you need to make online multiplayer free

I have just lost 2 hours of my life trying to sort my children's Nintendo Switch issues. @nintendo You really need to make life easier for parents. I could have written a chapter of my next book in that time... Btw, still haven't fixed the issue. We simply ran out of charge...

@lambiepie64 My first Nintendo and Sega consoles were came with bundles when I was very young. Bundling played a very big part in turning their games into household names. There’s no problem no matter who does it - That’s what I don’t get. The only thing I’d question is really old games are.

The ONE THING that Nintendo MUST FIX in the next gen Animal Crossing is the loading screens. They’ve always had waaaaaay too long loading times, and that needs to be eradicated. I want to be able to enter houses and shops SEAMLESSLY like botw level seamless interiors

@StrawbJamStudio I sent my joycons in for repair for free to Nintendo to fix the joycon drift. Dude… they sent them back and I picked it up out of the box and they completely fell apart. They didn’t even put the screws back in. 💀💀💀

@Ne0MT @wrysanity @BigBeefy20 You're the one who brought up Nintendo. Buck passing's a bad look. And people value portability, and the Steam Deck still has issues, as much as I like the idea.

@MrMorrisGames No, this rant is totally deserving! I'm a showcaser for games on the Switch and I spent a lot of time in the eShop and I honestly also think that the @Nintendo @NintendoAmerica #eShop #NintendoEShop needs work...likes it's bad if a creator has issues, but if a developer?!
