@souIstyce I know this is a bit off subject but is anyone having issues with the Switch versions of Dragon Quest II and III? I had to get them refunded by Nintendo today as I couldn't get the software to start at all even though the first game works fine.

@ThunderSnow259 I don't feel like it's an "old school" problem honestly. Nintendo's never seen online gaming as a huge priority, which just came and bit them in the butt only recently. Microsoft I'm iffy on, and Sony.... yeah, I'm super worried Sony might go all-in.

@WomenMuscular all three of them are awful ideas made to compensate for the modern games’ legitimate problems. because nintendo thought game balancing on an e-rated rpg is apparently a bad thing

@NintendoAmerica can you fix a problem in animal crossing please? I keep accidently picking up items when picking flowers. I do not need to be facing the object. If I am not exactly on the boarder of the flower infront of me, it will pick up any object around me.

@tyguitaxe @JackaryDraws @PollukantZ Yeah, nintendo made some strange moves, such as waiting for the OLED to fix the joycon drift, or letting the nintenpastas harass artists with false C&D claims while also cracking down on fangames, mistaking them for pirated bootlegs. Hard to stay mad, though.

@LadyofCrypto1 Love the concept and tokenomics around a load of P2E, but the problem is many games themselves look terrible. Early Nintendo would be an upgrade. Not that money can’t be made of course! Just a shame the graphics don’t justify the movement.

@brandnewcartier @ish444n + even though it would give the consumer more choice companies like nintendo wouldnt want to put the time and money into BT video transfer with the switch bc consumers would have issues w it, like they would get pissed at laggy/compressed video even if fixing it isnt possible

Was my last Switch broken or are the joycons just broken pieces of garbage you're all tolerating because Nintendo patron saint of gaming made them.

@anne_theriault Not fair because boys like Animal Crossing too; I have this problem when Uniqlo sells Nintendo designs and ones I like are only made for kids

@TheHedgememe @GaymerJerry @XC_Enel Since Nintendo is pretty much the playground now for the Xeno Franchise, Maybe Nintendo can help fix those poor sales. SMT3 Nocturne got a remaster last year so maybe Saga might not be too far behind. True it’s a long shot but you never know what might happen.

@DynamoSuperX Why, what would the issue be? It's a business relationship. Sony makes movies, and they're pretty good at it. It's why all their games take a movie like approach- it's the one thing they do really well. Sony isn't Nintendo's nemesis, I don't see why anyone would take issue

@Nintendeal Well if Banjo-Kazooie is coming the NSO then I don't see why Goldeneye 007 can't come aswell, they're both Rare IPs infact it was actually Nintendo who tried to get the game unbanned in Germany so why would they go through that trouble just so Xbox can benefit from it

Why can’t you Netflix or any streaming service on the Nintendo switch? It’s so annoying 😡

@LinaAMadrid Hey Lina. I hope you're doing OK. I was wondering something. My brother once told me that he was reading about how the N64 games on Nintendo Switch Online were causing problems that made the system crash. Do you know if that's true?

@NintendoUK Preferably ones that don't crash after 4 hours of playing.. sort it out @NintendoUK

@ChesterEugene @ericwithaz @StephenSeanFord Well, sounds like you're getting old, then. I've played games since 1997 on Nintendo, PS, Xbox and PC, but I had zero issues with the controls. So I have less experience than you, but more skill. Hmm, noticed that you didn't mention PC. Maybe that's the problem.

Wii u gamepad only had a charging issue for me. Buying multiple chargers sucked but I probably could've gotten it fixed by sending it to Nintendo. Joy cons still have issues even after getting sent in

today's servers are so resistant to DDOS that you need to control an entire datacenter to take one down. these servers are only getting cheaper too. yet nintendo doesn't seem to want to have literally any online infrastructure.

... uh Apparently a year of nintendo online isn't completely unreasonable price wise. Less than half what I would've expected. Lowkey tempting, even if I loathe that online as premium service console model.

@Lyroy_TheToad If they do, than i can’t wait for the millions of “But it has nothing to do with Nintendo switch online” comments from crypto-babies. (As if a low quality monkey Jpeg is “BeTtEr” than a crappy online service.)

Stop assuming you’re in control. You’re not. Follow the standard and do it right like your competitors do and stop blaming Nintendo/Sony/Microsoft for what’s your problem. (Turning off cdc on your TVs stops the issue and snooping HDMI messaging it’s your tv sending)

@NabbitFan730 @DynamoSuperX And herein lies the problem. We aren’t on the same mental wavelength. Your opinion is that “I can classify all Nintendo fans as nintendrones if they respond negatively to criticism.” I hold no such belief. Therefore we will never agree on anything regarding this conversation.

(@Iggy67392) reported
@Nintendeal This was because Sega could not get Sonic Generations to run properly on the Wii. Since Sonic Colors Ultimate is available on Xbox and Playstation consoles alongside the Switch, Sega had to make it up to Nintendo by putting their classic games on the Switch Online service. (2/?)

@Bruh2234521 No because yakuza 1 and 2 were originally ps2 games that never got an og xbox version. Thus there’s no xbox code to emulate. There was a Wii/Wii u remaster so in theory Nintendo could do something with those original 2 games. As for kenzan that’s a PS3 only game, so same issue.
