I have no idea what Nintendo did but Quickplay/Elite are like DESTROYED now? It takes like 5-10 errors to find a single game and when you do most of them are super laggy and/or crash before they finish... wtf happened???

@ScrewyClassic @BasedDrWorm It's very silly they haven't yet, but it's Nintendo so I kinda expect that And now that I think about it, I think I've had these same issues before and I've solved it by jumping around from different dev builds until one works *slightly* better-er and then fiddle with switches

@MarcBurrage @SmashVerseYT @NintendoUK Given people know what the cause of the drift is and have been able to fix it themselves Nintendo can do it but aren't bothered to.

@omegascandium It's nothing to really scoff at, 10 years is pretty damn long and it took Nintendo till 2018 to provide a.. interesting service

@hilberthepig @TheGamingCat921 @GameSpot Not dumb at all. It doesn’t specify only PS5 and XBX. The article says ‘global chip shortage’. So everyone seems to be having problems. But Nintendo. If you say it’s because the Switch uses old tech, okay. Just seems odd.

So starting today, I won’t be streaming anything Nintendo Switch games related. I’m going to get my screen fix and other fixes if needed. Until then I’ll stream games from PS4, Wii, Wii U, it from my Laptop

@hoshi_no_joker @SobbleChao64 @engadgetgaming The problem is that this dust can easily get into the Controller cirquits and cause drift as it has happened with many people. The only Chance of repairing is either send it to Nintendo and pay a bunch of money just for them cleaning it or take it up yourself and risk breaking it

How does the PS3 and 4 have internal time clocks that break after a certain point and like all the Nintendo consoles have no issue with being playable after a decade

We Should Not Peep At Goblin Men
(@RyanmEft) reported
Worst: Nintendo. The Big N's DLC isn't bad, per se. The problem is they routinely overcharge for stuff that should be free, or at least cheaper. And in Smash the specific problem is they don't deliver what was promised, stretching the definition of characters from "new" games.

@THEREALRTU Unless it has all the power of last gen’s systems and then a bit, no it’s not a fair price. If they wanna get that close to the current gen market prices, they need the power to back up the cost. Nintendo has an issue of not keeping up and making unnecessary innovations instead

at fault for having the internet server making you disconnect. And another thing, there’s no way Nintendo would release a DS NS online as they would have to make a format for any DS game from the MegaMan Zero/ZX legacy collection.

@mistermeemee Too bad the Nintendo Store sold out right away at the $25 price error.

@yggdrasilsaltar Nintendo would then have to call on The Big House to defend itself. While The Big House would not have been in any legal trouble, the relationship between video game companies (from Japan) and the fighting game tournament community would have been hurt drastically (2/2).

@Ninja_Crash @PinkyUpMan @PJiggles_ Crash the original release didn’t have Gamecube adapter support for Sunshine, yet you can use the adapter on literally every game,the adapter THEY MADE during the Wii U in 2014. If I can’t trust Nintendo to get simple **** like this and widescreen done then when (1 of 2)

@yggdrasilsaltar It is literally against Japanese law to mod games. They can actually lose the rights to their games by losing the trademarks (which are different from copyright). As for the Big House; Nintendo could have gotten into trouble if they did nothing (1/2).

Imagine being Nintendo and releasing a patch to fix a small bug, that in turn, ruins online even more. How ******** did this happen?

@NintendoUK @AC_Isabelle It keeps saying I'm not signed in, and when I try to log in it keeps kicking me off the login page. So I tried the browser link, and it just gives me a qr code for the Website to use on my phone. It's a weird loop of disappointment @NintendoUK
