@HDoomguy We can agree that nintendo isn't the best right? Because even them with their backwards ideas said with animal crossing "hey players, the game needs a bit more time and we don't want to cause problems to our programers. The game is delayed for a few months. Please understand"

@NerdMovie1 @pkintheuniverse @ScarletSprites Seems that way to me, casually implying it's no big deal, if it was as you implied the issue would be nothing more than wear and tear, the same as any controller but we both know it isn't, it's a design flaw, Nintendo despite legal action taken against them haven't fixed it.

Coca-cola? it started as a remedy. Samsung? started selling noodles and latter textiles. Nokia? Paper mill. Nintendo set up a taxi company, a hotel chain, a TV network, and a food company. Even twitter we are using was created to be used as a SMS service. 27/n

@rayluaza I believe you that you were fine with the twist in one, and not the other, but I’m talking about false advertising and specific language used in response to people saying nintendo should be in trouble with the law over this. That’s all lol

@DragonsHoardMod @HDRetrovision I had a similar issue with the retrobit nintendo 64 ac adapter, the piece that plugs into the console was upside down, had to return unfortunately.

@Hellothere69961 @CinderFall0 @SlushTV_ Splatoon wasn't due to a technical issue and if that's what nintendo is claiming then that's purely false. Many of the teams were in Support of #FreeMelee and #FreeSmash nintendo said "if you have those feelings you're not allowed to play our game in this setting that you bought

@NotThatShogun The last patch seemed to finally fix the incredibly low resolution on posters, vending machines and the like. I can actually read them now, they're not just a mush of pixels that a super nintendo could produce.

@abisoos like when you're going to use homebrew, turn internet off on your switch try to avoid crashes from homebrew if possible if Nintendo sees an "odd" crash report, it'll raise suspicions. just be careful lol

@ufc4needsfixin1 @AEGRO Nintendo Switch doesn't seem so bad when you stack it against PS4's problems this year. XD

Left Joycon is drifting really bad. Though according to @NintendoAmerica, it must not really be a problem.

So far, playing Cyberpunk 2077 has been like experiencing a Christopher-Nolan-level of writing complexity stuck within the parameters of a broken Nintendo 64 cartridge.

@SymphonysBliss I think it's more likely that Nintendo just doesn't care or want the character than them having issues getting him. That OR Disney wants to charge a pretty penny and Nintendo doesn't want to toss out that much money for the rights. Either way Sakurai has 0 say.

@FortniteStatus Hello, I hope your doing well. I'm having an issue with custom settings; when I go into the settings and press "custom", the settings that are suppose to say "edit" - "build"; are not there. I play on Nintendo Switch and have watched other YouTube videos that had those settings,

I want our relationship to be like a Nintendo DS cartridge. If we have any problems, take it out, blow on it, and put it back in.

@shazzdoe @StackSmashing @Rotteroy What I find a bit strange is that Nintendo used rdp level 1 on the stm chip and not level 2. With level 1 you can read ram using a debugger but with level 2 debug interface is disabled. Now even with level 2 you could probably vcore glitch it down to level 1 but ...

@ShadowFoxArche My main issue with Nintendo isn’t bugs or lack of of quality. It’s the choices they make in their games frustrate me at times.

furthermore, (and yes now i am getting specific) there are a lot of issues that reflect themselves in video games that are more prominent and more relevant elsewhere. you get mad at nintendo for C&Ding things you care about? maybe corporations shouldn't have that power at all!

Okay so I tried redownloading Minecraft from the Nintendo eShop. It hasn't crashed YET but it does take a while to load. I'm hoping I will be able to make some decent progress on my project before it starts giving me problems.

@JonComms It kinda made it so I have very little interest in picking up an Xbox Series X/S. I do appreciate how it is really backwards compatible with all Xbox systems and Game Pass is a great service. Though, I'm just more interested in the new offerings from Nintendo and Sony.

@Chrismas95 imagine a dark future where Nintendo begins to design around their controllers being broken instead of just fixing their controllers
