@NintendoUK Sad to see you guys not switching to servers. Yet another game where you are in advantage when you lag due to P2P. Just lazy

Trying to listen to a video about Kirby vacuums (the mlm) and my mind is so used to it referring to Kirby (of Nintendo) and with words like "salesman" and "customer service" I just. Can't. It's breaking me.

"One former associate in the customer service department said she worked at Nintendo for an entire decade with only one year off, but she was never promoted to full-time status." Turns out the famous mario maker is a ****** employer who doesn't care for employee health.

@Rad__knight @grogfella I regularly switch between Xbox(pc), Nintendo and PS, but I guess I'm very used to the layouts. To me, it's sort of a second nature. But I understand why it's a problem to most people, they are just too diffrent

@cheechoong I see most controllers have problem with the sticks. Even Nintendo Switch. Always the first to break down. So far no manufacture have come up with an option to only replace the sticks. It can be done but perhaps they want us to replace the whole thing as its more profitable.

PSN also costs 3x as much as NSO, so it seems like there is really no excuse, but I only see complaints directed at Nintendo for some reason. Also, I get 400 Mbps WiFi speed, so that isn't the problem.

@PufuuLive Splatoon is the only (if I’m not mistaken) game as a service made in house by Nintendo themselves. It is the 3rd franchise in terms of traction and revenue so… but it’s not as popular in the west sadly

I personally think that @FortniteGame should pull the Nintendo Switch version of Fortnite & switch off the servers until ALL issues are resolved Frame Rate tanks whenever you are near someone Visualize Sound Effects don't even work in certain areas of the map

I wish Super Smash Bros 64 and Diddy Kong Racing was on the NSO service on Nintendo Switch.

@steddiflo1 @OfficialXboxU Of course they don’t want it. They have their own competitive sub service. If they all put the same games on it the only thing that differentiates it is 3rd party. So Ps and Nintendo won’t put 1st party games that means GP would be the most subbed service on their platforms.

After the Sony and Nintendo online store issues with soon to be extinct games, it's surprising that nobody talks about Apple doing the same thing. All three Infinity Blade games were made extinct back in 2018 because they were "no longer supported".

@LG02I4 Be glad it isn’t what Nintendo has as a service lol NSO is the worse of the three and it’s expansion pack doesn’t make it any better.

@finalmasterm0dx @ultraheroinefan @Morrow0Vaelon I think if you have a Japanese nintendo account you can access their eshop and purchase their version of the games without the censorship for Western audience? afaik the only issue is you'd run into is you'd have to learn/know how to read Japanese first?

@STAGEBLOQ @TWTHEREDDRAGON Sony wants Nintendo level sales so I don’t think day and date is happening anytime soon. The idea of day and date games on a service causes gamers to stop buying games. For example if Sony does day and date it will cause PlayStation gamers to stop buying games.

@mortivoree @PlayStation Yeah despite what I post I enjoy the consoles. I do it to mess with the ps fanbase mostly. My discrepancies with Xbox is lack of new content and leadership issues. PS i dislike the UI and their content lacking diversity. Nintendo I wish they would come out with refresh for Switch

@OperationGolem @RTGraves Too bad my new 3ds is broken I'd love to play federation force again. Here's hoping Nintendo would remaster it for Switch.

@verge Nintendo should have been forced to do a recall a long time ago. And on top of not fixing it, they still left the problem in the newest OLED model.

People constantly complain about Nintendo's online service, but is PlayStation's really that much better? I've been playing Sackboy: A Big Adventure with my partner, and the lag and internet related bugs are comedically terrible; sometimes even worse than Super Mario Maker 2.

@LuigiBlood Nintendo sometimes oversteps their obligations to protect their business and property, but not everything they do is "unforgivable" or "abuse". That's what pirates say when they're having trouble pirating.

@Chopstyx13 Controllers you can't change batteries in (which is still a problem with Sony, and now Nintendo, to this day). (*And Microsoft's Elite 2 controller.)
