@Gaming4Life84 And what if xcloud ends up on switch? Its a streaming service that requires a subscription. Do you honestly thing that would undermine xbox? If anything it would probably help sales of xbox when nintendo fans get to see xbox exclusives and they would want to play them natively.

These Switch joy cons are honestly a huge flop from Nintendo. I had one that I had to get fixed a couple months ago for drifting and now my left one won't work unless attached to the system. I'm frustrated they still think there isn't an issue.

@ShadowFoxArche Folders have been a requested feature updates ago, but we all know for the most part Nintendo doesn't listen to fans of their strive for better of their products. The ones that don't just continue to consume regardless of quality issues. [2]

@MattMcMuscles @MarioIsBroken Nintendo can afford to have every game of theirs run flawlessly online. They’ve got more than enough cash to spare. You shouldn’t have to put up with a crappy online service you’re paying for just because it ‘sometimes’ works fine for you.

@Pazztall1 I only found them yesterday, I checked the My Nintendo website daily as soon a January came. Maybe it was a glitch in the system and Nintendo just shipped them to you because you already paid and they had them already lol.

@mzkjnky80 Nintendo gamers want games on the go as seen with how well the switch is doing so they will have no problems paying for xcloud. It's the casual gamers market were sales of the Xbox hardware might end up being lower as hardcore gamers are more commited to the brand's.

@Stitch101YT @XboxSupport Its more that the Xbox Support twitter report many outages even if its very minor. Quite a lot of them have nothing to do with the xbox live service or infrastructure. I may be wrong but I don't think either sony or nintendo do this to anywhere near the same level on their pages.

To think that last year I was planning an all expenses paid cruise for my ex lil baby, gave away my Nintendo switch and sent the FATTEST care package in hopes I’d be loved properly in return, just to end up empty handed & broken hearted. Ppl are menaces

@Partymoth1 @NintendoAmerica Online multiplayer was broken with the original release 10 years ago too, so I'm not surprised. Ubisoft really slacked off in that department which is highly disappointing.

@zivnobird @NintendoAmerica @justdancegame That doesn’t solve the LARGER problem at hand with Nintendo refusing to add OTHER legacy content to the switch and not only that that is just a rumor not a confirmation

Evelyn had a meltdown last night because I switched from Hulu Live to YouTube TV and now she can’t wait her shows on her Nintendo switch. Reminding her she’s spoiled and letting her know her problem isn’t even a real problem is fun. Being a dad and telling it like it is rocks.

@CroxxingTheLine I heard Nintendo has a somewhat easier process and they'll like...believe you easier and try to do a no hassle fix? I'm not sure yet how well that would go but def try to reach out to their customer service! :0

@Lasthorix @Animus_jam @NintendoAmerica Dude all controllers do, if it becomes a problem early on it means you're too rough with them or play with cheeto fingies but all controls inevitably get the drift. Except ones with no thumbsticks, that's a different situations.

@The_Lucbomber Problem is Nintendo is stuck in this mindset of they have to release a new Pokémon ever year. If they take the time of like three years then it’ll look real nice
