@SB2749 my issue with giving away banjo, conker and potentially others is that those were by far their most popular characters during the n64 era; ms loses a considerable chunk of rare's identity this way. if anything new were to happen with them, i'd rather nintendo/ms collab for it.

Is anybody else having a problem with the YouTube app on Nintendo switch in which several key tabs are suddenly missing? Such as subscriptions and watch history?

@KeithZylla @BenjiSales No is square in his games become exclusive just like Bethesda think about it and the problem when it comes to that so many people buy more games than anybody else outside of Nintendo

@NintendoAmerica who can I reach out to about a payment error? I was charged before my trial for nintendo online was done so hadn't moved money into the account and now have been charged an over draft fee. Not cool at all.

@stopskeletons As a long as the actual gen from a company doesn't have a virtual console, I don't see a problem with emulating. I'm the first one who would gladly pay a lot of old games on my Switch if Nintendo gave me a legal way to do so, but there isn't.

@NintyPrime wtf is hard about it? you just do a new version of what everyone already liked. That's the problem with Nintendo as much as i love them they think they need to make a new gimmick in every game yet at the same time they'll release New Super Mario Bros games that play identical

@Tyranicus The day after I bragged that I’d had casts for surgeries but never for broken bones was a snow day. It was 6 or 7th grade. My friend and next door neighbor came over. Hour 4 or so of Nintendo got boring....

@MiKAuditore @CaptainBreegull I was talking in between that, and the rare buyout.And well,even then when you're a billion dollar corporation,I believe you can mess up, and afford to fix it/try again 5-10 years ltr.Nintendo has had games fail or not sell alot and still try again like Metroid,and dk and pikmin

If people are having trouble with Nintendo's online service, then they should FIRST check out their own Internet before blaming Nintendo. It's NOT that hard!

Man if only Nintendo had these games on their online service or had a virtual console so I can buy them on there. Good thing I'm helping ol tendo by buying these used off of ebay huh? :smile:

@TeamYouTube My subscriptions are no longer appearing on the Nintendo Switch Youtube app. The option appears when I'm signed out but disappears again then I sign in.

@PeerIGN It's weird...some Nintendo guys say this...but at the same time they release many "repeated" iterations for franchises that sell well. So the problem is not creativity, is bussiness. They can at least re release the old games and allow the fans to enjoy GX on the switch.

@agentnibbles5 @thicc_stick_boi If I had known Nintendo would have 0 intentions to fix Drift it would've massively affected my decision to buy the goddamn product. I bought it Christmas of 2017, thinking it wouldnt be that bad, and maybe I'd be lucky Then my joycons drifted out of the goddamn box

@RoseFromTheAshs @AzureCrimsonRev @Reggie yeah but has Reggie talked about in the other years in Nintendo? Nothing came out besides the great robot chicken joke. he can’t talk about the company and mother 3 now because that’s breaking the NDA for him which can get him a lot of problems

As a PC gamer, I was really offended Nintendo was asking for money for their online service when it was so bare bones. Then I found out it was $20 a year, and I stopped caring. I can do that much.

@Sadeness0 @MilesClouds @nintendolife You clearly have trouble reading. Where did I say Microsoft? I said Xbox division. The schooling system failed the youth. I know Sony doesn't make more than Microsoft. I said Playstation Division and Xbox/Nintendo. Please go back to school

@celly_speaks This happened to me and was super frustrating. After replacing the battery a few times, blowing on it like a Nintendo cartridge and a few other things I learned from YT, my problem turned out to be a faulty detector. Replaced it and worked right away

(@anarchyKaos666) reported
@DavidAndrewBar2 No, because Square Enix ain't lending their legacy games to Nintendo's subscription service. Nintendo would have to pay more money than they want to for that. It'll come in collections like Collection of Mana. Konami and Capcom have already released collections too.

@AltheaValara They also put them in FF3 (or the 3D remake, at least), but they're of limited use on the DS cartridge, after Nintendo shut down the WiFi service.

@planpino @MilesClouds @nintendolife I think the only problem with Nintendo buying any company is the limited hardware compared to current trends.

I reorded with my switch some cool moments of my playthrough yesterday but back then I couldn't post them here. Seems like Nintendo's posting service on twitter, when it comes to videos, is very ******.

@Nero_Shen47 The problem is many older games are no longer printed or available on current platforms. There’s so much nostalgia for the GameCube now, but since Nintendo refuses to rerelease GameCube games, prices are expensive. Emulation is the only way we can reasonably play some games now

@NepsKnight Sadly the semiconductor issue is for all electronics company's not already taking up the limited allotment. I got a PS5 but barely and I've not seen it or a New Xbox in stuck sense.Nintendo most have a good allotment already taken up. I doubt where getting a Switch Pro this year.

I still don't ******* understand why people think Nintendo's online service is bad. Even with Smash Ultimate, my Internet is CAPABLE of handling it with very little to no lag.
