It looks like if I can't fix my 3ds, I'm still able to keep the digital games I bought for it if I call Nintendo, but I do lose any progress I made on them 🙃 150 hours in pokemon crystal, gone

@Andariya_ Yeah nintendo is pretty great. I own only a Nintendo switch right now and I'm not dissatisfied with any of the games I've got.i mean. Some 3rd party games that came out for the switch are buggy and broken to an extent. But their IPS are really great, and I'm I'm not speaking out

@0cross_ @AfroScribble @TheUncleAlShow The problem I was announcing in that tweet is that Nintendo was making a straight nonsensical decision. There's no way they held back online for monetary reasons, no one's buying the game now, and not having online would hamper initial sales.

@bee_Ceres If they don’t fix it in the patch that’s in 2 months go to Nintendo HQ and change it yourself If you want something done right you’ve gotta do if yourself😤

@NormallyNormal7 @Nibellion I mean if Sakurai is to be believed Microsoft and Nintendo both wanted it for 5 years and Sakurai just couldn't figure out how to implement him. So that deal seemingly had no issues getting signed.

@Hawk_Guts @SpeedyV15 @enderelectrics dude, he doesn't have a problem with it because he doesn't want them to succeed, he has a problem with it because it harms the whole fangame community. if sega sees fans getting paid for fangames, they could become like Nintendo for all fangames, not just this one.

Throughout the series, TLOZ has shown Link having l lots of love interests. It's a staple for male protagonists in Japan to have a harem, but Nintendo really doesn't rely on fan service or ship bait to capitalize the game. Link's relationships weren't portrayed like that.

@Yonnitheduck @lel_scoop No, it should be nobody. I don't know why you keep suggesting stupid picks that are obviously not getting in. Save it for your dreams. You really think Nintendo cares? At all? You honestly believe Nintendo would deliver on your request? That's what I thought. Stick with Crash.

This is like getting frustrated that a console has backwards compatibility. Nobody has to buy every new release or live service games like Animal Crossing, sorry you aren't able to throw your money into everything Nintendo makes.

@Xionvee oh yeah, no can do, my online service expired Literally screw nintendo for making such basic game-functions only be able to be used with a paid service man, didnt need to do that on the 3ds etc. Nintendo is the new EA it seems lmao

@DarthChillash @sore_uno @Andariya_ I get what he's saying, I think, and I believe it's praise. Nintendo actually releases a game without game breaking bugs that make it unplayable, so for those who won't be able to DL the patch it's not an issue. The games just work.

@Slade4Lucas You've already proven Nintendo's output of games. Even against TWO platforms. So it's a non-issue. Other platforms also exist right now, if that's your idea of an argument, but more important, Switch has more third party support as well, so no need to go to another platform.

@tastyjerkk I see. These "day off" things sound like pure high fantasy but sounds nice. Nintendo might be the only one where you don't have to worry about a seriously broken or lacking game. Rare if it happens.

@BowtieShyGuy @Letaugusto1 @forestminish Even then, removing ports is a critique on the game industry in general since all current major consoles seem to have lots of ports. If you removed them from any system line up, you'd have a scarce looking graphic. It's not just a Nintendo problem (Nor is it really a "problem")

@yahoowahooidk @ZukatoTv @NintendoFunnie Can you still send back to Nintendo for them to fix it or did they stop doing that?

@EdwardViaTomato I am talking purely about Nintendo's output of games. That is my issue. The Wii U had maybe an even output of games to the Switch, maybe a bit less, but the 3DS also had games so it didn't matter. But the Switch doesn't have that and that is the issue.

@Respawn dear Devs from a nintendo switch player. was very happy to have this game added to switch. porting a game is not easy. I was hoping this patch would address communication errors that I'm having with my team.

@JezCorden I was just thinking of a scenario where Xcloud is service you could lay for on other Platforms that provides the ability to stream games you own from the cloud to any device. So say you own a bunch of PS games or Nintendo games. You could pay for Xcloud.. 1/2

@90sNostalgiaGuy They're another issue and I rarely use them because they get ****** so easily.... but prefer the pro controller anyway. But yeah my point was just the games in general from my experience. I'm never worried to preorder and play a Nintendo game day one.

@Andariya_ The biggest issue that Nintendo has now is the joy-con grip issue, bad stuff. Other that that, I prefer a bugless game than an early game full of day 0 patches and glitches.

@PlayerEssence @Shinon17 @DirectFeedGames So I am of two minds about this as I feel changing demographics might have caused these issues. People who played the NES/SNES moved onto PlayStation, etc. Nintendo continued being the "kids" system and by the time we got to the Cube. Those hardcore Big N fans were few and far...

@cicerosd733 Ikr. And even then, They're only going for Nintendo as of now, even if they went to PS, PS already has something similar, why let a competitor just put their better service on there, and thered still be 0 Xbox 1P Games on there anyway
