And theres nothing that can obstruct the flow of the game and interrupt like with input delay and lag spiking in and out of ranges that make snails look faster than nintendo online.

@CrashyNews Skylanders isn't a crash game but it has crash in it. I've played All except game boy games and Nintendo 3Ds.

@lilchiva I get the "If it ain't broken, don't fix it" mindset. But in the case of Nintendo, compared to their counterpart such as Sony, they're a bit backwards minded when it comes to the Internet and online play.

- handle some of its problems such as the joycon drifts. But overall, I wouldn't be surprised if Nintendo left the console. Because even if they did, then that would give SEGA a chance to go back to the console market and take back their 90s gaming crown that they've lost

Has anyone kept count of how many days its been since the last games were added to the Nintendo online service or nah?

@irodeyourmom @Actually_Tina It's funny to meme on them, but yes, people are just reacting to things they don't know about. And it says it was unused anyway, so that clearly wasn't the problem with Nintendo Online.

@SwordOrWhip good night: I have problems with the game mentioned in the nintendo switch version, it won't let me play a plus game, finish the game, and by doing it every so often it makes me an error and takes me out of the game on the console, can you solve it?

@caiokendx @igmrevaporation @NinEverything Yup. It's not a Nintendo exclusive problem. Not excusing it, but it is what it is.

Reason Why a Switch-Pro is Needed: theres Lag when you catch a Pokemon in Pokemon Sword/Shield When the PokeDex Appears. It Stutters just... Translating across the Screen. a 2D object. holy hell Nintendo/GameFreak

@nintendolife @AnnoMuta Damn yall got to complain about a good deed. Also, as for the drift, there is a lawsuit(from what I remember) going on in Europe. Nintendo is getting heat for the issue so hopefully future products dont have it.

You cant even use the Custom Design portal without Nintendo Switch Online? REALLY Nintendo? Once my island is done, I probably wont bother getting NSO again until something substantial for it comes out or they actually fix their shoddy online. #ACNH

I honestly hope Nintendo never ports Melee to Switch or any modern platform Not because I don't want Melee on it But because I just know they're gonna **** it up horribly somehow Either they're gonna try to patch it or the online is gonna be **** or it'll have input lag

Honestly, I don't want a Switch Pro coming out soon because that retcons the current model for most people. Plus, Nintendo's got better things to worry about than that, like idk... FIX THOSE DAMN JOYCONS DRIFTING!!

@Brycen220 @gibbogame The issue they're going to encounter as we get further into the XBSX and PS5 life cycle is that the Nintendo Switch's 6 year old Nvidia Tegra X1 is too under powered for developers to want to do cross platform games because the difference in power just makes it impossible to do.

@Blanketshow2 You don’t need to buy a console every time Joy-Cons have issues. Nintendo also fixes them for free. You’re either lying or lack common sense.

I'm still not sure what problems people are ever having with Nintendo's servers. Everything that uses the servers always works great for me, barring times where like a Smash character broke the eshop from sheer volume of download attempts. Also, highly doubt they never updated

Second, the Wii and DS. These used a service called Nintendo Wifi Connection which was a rebranded Gamespy. When Gamespy’s network infrastructure shut down, both of these devices lost most of their online services.

@Cesar_is_phat @TofuThelofu @hollvaa Also, when it gets to the point when even Nintendo gets sued multiple times and have to acknowledge the problem themselves, it’s clearly not overblown. Just because it doesn’t happen to you doesn’t mean it isn’t a problem.

The fact that nintendo is charging you to play online while their servers are old as **** and user service is garbage.
