@TheNCSmaster @DynamoSuperX I like the idea, but the only issue I have with it is the third-parties, especially considering Konami and Nintendo's rivalry.

@catovitch I'm guessing there's probably a few good ones on the "broken" Nintendo switch that I found in electrical waste that I brought back to life back when I worked electrical retail...

@KhayyaamButt Last time I checked, the SNES localization was teased in an issue of Nintendo Power, but it somehow didn't get released. Why? To be honest, Phantasia needs a remake that actually makes it outside of Japan. That or a port of the PSP versions with a better localization and a dub.

@NintendoAmerica Please give the option to turn elite smash off. Tired of not being able to play as my mains. Oh and while you’re at it, get rid of GSP too. It’s. INSANELY inaccurate and makes no sense. Plus maaaaaybe fix your **** servers too.

@VineJuices Broken game in a hugely successful franchise that Nintendo doesn't seem to acknowledge or support in any capacity, by refusing to re-release it? Sounds about right.

@NintendoAmerica please fix Ultimate's online. There is reason for this especially that we pay so much money for the game & dlc. Please fix it.

@SapphireTri @thewossy As someone who has managed a game store for 7 years I can confidently say the only people largely moving to digital are xbox fans (and that's its own issue) where as Sony and Nintendo fans still like physical for the ability to re-sell and to have something on their shelf

Welp. Now a host of other authentication issues. Namely my google authenticator account. It's still on my old phone, as was my old iCloud login which took me a month to recover. And I can't log into Nintendo to download Pokemon HOME without the login.......

@NintendoAmerica Edit: I got them and they're just plain out broken in the best way possible. Put can KO at 50%. That's absurd! But they're a ton of fun. I stay as mythra most of the time then switch to pyra for the finishing hit and it works really well
-

(@The_Faxmachine) reported
@Bravo_Wolf_ Yeah its inexcusable. As archaic as Nintendo always has been it isn't surprising. What is more surprising is the fact that they recently acknowledged the infrastructural issues with their online and are hopefully making strides to better it. Just hold out hope I suppose

@ForebodingCapra Oh yeah. At least Nintendo keeps re-releasing them for every console, the only issue is just that they never get cheaper :') My first one was Ocarina of Time, but my nostalgia aside Link to the Past's mechanics and graphics have held up better. But pretty much all Zeldas are good

@playerQ_Mark Cuz Nintendo doesn't like polishing things up in a game and just keep it broken, only to sell it for $60 ;)

5 (un?)popular opinions about Nintendo: >Since Reggie left NoA became soulless >Most Nintendo games aren’t worth 60 >They should try and do more daring spin-offs like they did in previous generations >NSO is worth 20$. The problem is it shouldn’t be so low so we could get more. +

@TheKingOfRats3 @OnThisDayGaming You still can, can't you? I believe there was some hobbyists hosting the nintendo wi-fi service themselves last time I checked, you just need to change your DS's DNS settings.

@DynamoSuperX @PJ_SwitchStop If they do do it I hope its mostly first party. Would solve the issue of the third passes fighters being cut, easier for Nintendo to actually do because no negotiations, and selfishly I prefer 1st party anyways

It blows my mind how much artists complain about getting credit for their work etc but have no problem turning around and selling their own “art” of characters that other people created. For EX people who draw Nintendo characters and sell the art wtf!?

There's no problem America hasn't tried to solve by killing some black or brown folks. It's like our country's version of blowing in the nintendo cartridge.
