speaking of that, the leg strap is always falling off my leg. i'll have to find a way to stick it to my pants because this keeps getting in the way and all the pants i got are similar so this will be a problem no matter what i wear. *insert rant about Nintendo defective product*

Controller arrived. If I get one more controller that starts having motion drift within 3 months I am actually getting the rope. Nintendo can **** off with their garbage quality controllers, can they just PLEASE address this issue for once. Even PS4 gyro is better than this

@TBossIDL @Jaffney_Quinn did you go to your system settings and see about adding a user? i don't know much about the membership because i do not have the nintendo membership thing. i just buy the games and i'm the only one who uses it so i'm not really sure what the issue could be??

Dear @NintendoAmerica, my 10yo daughter asked me to relay the msg that she would like to see more girls to play in your games, and is upset that she can't choose if the main player is a girl or boy. She thinks that is unfair. Can you fix this? #girlpower #strongwomen @Nintendo

All your competitors have this figured out. #Sony #microsoft #Steam Have you read your official forums @NintendoAmerica ? People are angry about this and it's not a new problem from what I'm reading. Embarrassing, you owe me money for 2 useless Switches.

@StandByGalaxy @Gormammu Because no one uses it as a reflector. Don’t act like we’re looking through Nintendo’s lens’s because A.) Nintendo gives 0 ***** about competitive play and B.) their is no way they could do this. It’s broken, don’t act like it’s not.

Given how easy and cheap it is to replace a joycon joystick I'm not even mad at the stick drift issue anymore. I will take a certain threshold of guaranteed mechanical failure in return for an easy and cheap fix that I can do myself. Nintendo should license official parts.

Yeah using plastic for straws is a problem for the environment but let’s talk about Nintendo Switch game boxes. That whole plastic case is protecting a game the sizes of a baked bean

@iamPS1Hagrid @Hamster10949727 Yea but consoles wouldn’t be where they are today without Nintendo. Nintendo was the one who brought back video games to the US after the crash of Atari.. Nintendo was the one who made the D pad first... Genyo Takeda invented the analog sticks and he worked at Nintendo...

(@twilight_ridley) reported
@ArloStuff Nintendo’s problem is that their always trying to “reinvent the wheel” with every new release. That makes it harder for them to make sequels for established series. One things leads to another and you got a mess of a series that is modern Paper Mario or Starfox

@splatapussy @TeamSableye @NinWire Issue, masterchief has never been in a game for a Nintendo console. Smash bros character rule says, a character must have been in atleast one game on a nintendo console. So unless they release halo onto the switch, I don't think it will happen.
