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

@mltjan @spieltimes Didn't nintendo get a lawsuit for the same problem? I think so I'm asking.

@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.

@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

(@thesaltraven) reported
@DffooTweets @SpikkleNT The fact that you all don't see an issue with a company being inconsistent is astonishing given how many people I follow for DFFOO that get furious when Nintendo acts CONSISTENTLY. Or wail when the game is unexpectedly down for more than an hour.

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.

Switch overheated again... doesn’t always do it but didn’t even take like 20 min of play this time. Really disappointed. Hate to give this thing up for a month and a half for the shipping and Nintendo to fix it. Haven’t called about it yet. #NintendoSwitch

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

@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

@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

I think it’s fair to say I can hate nintendo but still love their games. Cause if you look at nintendo as a whole, they have a ****** business, and a ****** community service. So the cons outweigh the pros.

@NintendoAmerica Stop programming your games to punish the players for connection issues THAT ARE NOT OUR FAULT. Fix your damn servers and use the money people give you to fix them!!! #fixnintendoonline #fixsmashonline

The analog joystick on my Nintendo Switch Lite doesn't return to neutral after being pressed, I've tried cleaning and recalibrating. It's less than a year old (wish I could just upgrade to a regular switch, but teacher income). Anyone know a fix? @NintendoAmerica #NintendoSwich

(@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

@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...
