@Bonezone247 @AtlusStruggle Because in BOTW they admitted they made Link more androgynous looking, there’s also supposed comments from Nintendo that say Link is non binary But my issue with people saying it’s canon is that in every Zelda game, Link is referred to as male, not just BOTW

@RedGamingTech How does Nintendo make money and ensure they don't dilute their brand? Why not partner with azure instead and set-up their own service, like Sony does.

@NautoAis00211ex @amiiboAlerts @Nintendo They won't fix it. They don't care.

@RedGamingTech I agree. Even Metroid looked like a PS3 game and most games had severe fps problems while looking bad or average TBH. There's a point where art design can't save weak hardware, and I believe Nintendo Switch has reached that point.

@RedGamingTech The gap between the Switch & next gen consoles is only going to grow larger, the issue is Microsoft & Nintendo need to agree on what games won't appear on Xcloud Switch.

"Hi, #Nintendo speaking. We will soon release the first part of the #AgeOfCalamity DLC. But guess what? Not everybody will be able to download it. That's right, the losers with the broken 12.0.3 Update can't download it, lol." **** you too, Nintendo...

@NintendoAmerica, could you finally add a proper cart to your eShop? Wound up buying a lot of stuff at once, but since they were separate transactions it's apparently freaked out my bank enough to lock my card. If it was all one big transaction this wouldn't be an issue. :p

@pbjms I think part of the problem is that I started seriously following nintendo at the start of the switch’s lifetime leading me to have crazy high expectations. That being said, I think we were due for a little more than we got after a year of covid and what with it being e3 1/2

@funkykongfac If I had to choose I’d have to say Mario Kart 8 Deluxe. There is many issues that Nintendo needs to fix, issues that has been in the game since launch.

@SleepyShivers @Toadsanime My big issue with the direct is that the main Nintendo games were all very handheldy and looked a bit rushed. I’m fine with having more handheld focused games if there are more console feeling games alongside them...which there isn’t for the rest of this year.

@RedGamingTech I think they will partner up with Microsoft to create their own streaming service (maybe retro) & to use azure to stream big AAA 3rd party games on the switch. That's if Google doesn't license stadia tech to Nintendo 1st Nintendo doesn't allow Netflix on switch so why let xcloud

Is Nintendo ******* kinding me?! Why does suddenly every game I start to play again have an update, which I can't download due to the broken 12.0.3 Update?! @Nintendo could you finally drop the next firmware update?! I'm starting to really lose my patience towards you...

Hello @NintendoUK, my son is having issues with Minecraft, it says it needs an update but the update won't download and we get Error 2123-1502. I've tried waiting of backups to complete, restarting the Switch, clearing the cache (& restarting again). Internet is test is OK. Help.

@Faytlost @NintendoUK I had the same issue and their process for handling this is unsatisfactory. It sucks, because I really want to buy stuff from the Nintendo store as opposed to Amazon etc. but they are currently making this impossible for me. So will have to take my money elsewhere 🤷

@RedGamingTech I think you drink too much Microsoft coolaid. Nintendo don't need MS and they wouldn't downgrade their platform by promoting a MS service. There are levels to stupidity and you are crossing the limits of it's threshold

@NintendoAmerica Better be updating the Switch to 12.0.4 when it releases so that we can all be able to download it and not get that stupid error code.

@NintendoUK it is abysmal that your customer service policy is so poor. Letting down a 10yr old child when one of your products has broken, even when I am offering to pay for the repair. Shame on you, you should man up and support your consumers !

@Alex250399 I'm personally kinda meh for Nintendo. I think the big problem with xbox is we KNOW their future games are incredible, but a lot of stuff isn't until 2022. With that said, the switch hardware is looking VERY old right now, even in handheld and I feel we need the Pro switch
