@faxuty I only play less than 3 hours a day sometimes 1 hour. Not as much as last year though which was crazy like 8 hours average. Fortnite is fun but on Nintendo Switch is **** with lag and poor connection.

@suddenlycrows @Potathead2 @ScrewyClassic Nintendo doesn't care about roms made by other companies. They only request the removal of 1st party games from rom websites. It's up to each of those little companies if they want to go through the trouble of trying to have their roms taken down. Probably wouldn't be worth it.

But @NintendoAmerica and @PokeSwordShield can y’all do something about making the multi battle connection better. Me and my people had some trouble trying to battle last night. But connecting with the max lair wasn’t an issue.

@ivRevin At least they are doing something to clean up those iffy issues from the original release, I do appreciate that. Nintendo obviously sees this as an opportunity to make up for some initial mistakes and prove why it's a worthwhile experience.

I hope Nintendo fixes their servers, cause I'm tired of having communication error after communication error over and over again. I wonder if it's related to the recent firmware update...

I love Nintendo games, but it's unconscionable how my three pairs of Joy-Con are all broken. The console is four years old and all my controllers for it are borderline unusable. It's making me not want to play Switch games.

(@JonPorobil) reported
And what's the fix? Buy another pair of Joy-Con for $80 that may or may not ALSO noticeably deteriorate in under six months? Lather, rinse, repeat? No, I've been stubbornly refusing to buy more, but this just means we're playing our Nintendo games less. Their loss, I suppose.

@NintendoUK unable to add funds in order to purchase a game through e store on 3DS. Won’t allow me to sign in even though password correct. Tried to reset won’t allow me too. I’ve emailed your CEO see that email for full details and sort this out ASAP. Thanks

@DemeechYT Hey dude. It's real frustrating when the game we love it stuck on old hardware. I feel you. Is it in Nintendo's interests business-wise to make everything available on every platform? Probably not. But the problem of preservation can be solved in other ways.

@cvxfreak I wonder for how long they'll keep the service going. I also wonder if it's Nintendo's servers or Capcom's 🤔

@super_red56 @NintendoAmerica Not from me, the game is actually less than 50 when entered my country for unknown reason (well, physically), but I never cared about price (except for ps5) so even if it is actually 60 in my country, It’s no problem at all

(@Nightcaaat) reported
@cbrzeszczot @Stellar_Sl00t It’s quite a mess because what was available to get wasn’t the original Flipnote PPM files but Nintendo’s poor attempts to convert them to Flipnote 3D’s KWZ format, and as such there’s some missing information and broken audio they’re trying to fix before release @FlipnoteArchive

@forcewave1139 @Falco_X Do you listen to yourself? You don't have a problem with him working with Xbox, but you have a problem with it being an exclusive? Who are you!? You fanboys sound so nonsensical and arrogant. And the majority of fans are Playstation fans? Yet Metal Gear was on Nintendo before PS

@ScrewyClassic @Royce_A_Miller Problem is even if Nintendo upgrade their virtual console for the switch it will still have pc users getting upset and downloading rather than buy the official product

Mario Kart 8 on the Wii U sold less because it was on the Wii U, but since Mario Kart 8 got a Deluxe port on switch with DLC, it just kept selling it. Son turns out the Nintendo Switch and Mario Kart 8 Deluxe are sort of broken for some reason alone.

@EditsRecluse @asukaissues @DeadByBHVR ?? Have u seen Nintendo games that run at 60fps they look amazing dbd have had to put the graphics to a literal smudge just to get 20-30 fps it’s more a dbd issue if it was better optimised this would run way better and look a lot better

Omg yes the power outage would've waited until after the Nintendo Direct.

Whenever someone has a problem with Nintendo, I just like to sit and laugh because there really isn't a problem. It's just blatant crybabies and sad poor losers who don't have a job so they about the price. Keep doing it, you're the entertainment.

There's a #LegendOfZelda game coming out this month and I didn't have any idea it was this soon. I'm just not seeing any hype at all for #SkywardSwordHD if it doesn't fix the problems with the original. A re-release this soon was a rare, big mistep for Nintendo IMHO

@SpecSpideyVerse The problem with Sora is that Nintendo would need both Square and Disney's permission.

@ItsNeon2401 @Reecee_yt It is egregious that Nintendo is selling an upscaled ROM for above MSRP. Games like Demons Souls, Crash, Spyro, etc. have received full blown remakes, the latter two being merely $40. Stop enabling this crap and demand better from Nintendo. A couple of tweaks aren't good enough.
