@ShaneMGD Not surprising honestly with Sony copying Nintendo in years lmao. This kinda sucks that not everything can be in a service forever. 😔

@AlleywayBrawler @aro_arox @merrybigboy The controller thing is the worst one, since the Joycons are ****** expensive, break faster and harder than competitors, and unlike their competitors who *have* acknowledged the issue and are looking to fix it in future batches, Nintendo outright denies the issue with no plans

@merkadeezgaming Sometimes I wish my Nintendo account wasn't broken so I can test this out

@SenpaiJazzy @nekobueno Well for me it was a nintendo switch issue. I had no idea that the controllers that came with it and the gamecube controller had so much delay. Got a new controller and that sorted me out.

This is why I straight up hate Nintendo's online service, how does these glitches are only exclusive to that??? Apparently I'd experienced a glitch in Kirby 64 that doesn't happen from the original, why

@spookyhours40 @NintendoAmerica Do you think they are going to really fix that? Cry me a river lol

@camseyeview @OhMyMithrandir Well…. Next month 2 of the big 3 console companies will. Nintendo offers a somewhat similar service with Its NSO+Exp service but only with a select amount of NES, SNES, Genesis and N64 games. Even publishing companies like EA and Ubisoft are getting in on it.

@creeper19221 @Reecee_yt The single player campaign isn't enough. I heard there was originally gonna be an SMB2 theme in the Extra Game Modes, but they scrapped it in favor of the SMB2 mushroom because Nintendo cut their budget post-launch. Another reason the fix it later approach isn't a good idea.

@MD_Prometh I was quite surprised as I think even nintendo's online service has the 60hz versions for Retro titles. It does seem like the sort of thing Ryan would be involved in particularly since he's so ignorant about things like this or just doesn't care.

@AmazonUK Failed to send me an OTP code so the driver came with my nintendo switch, he left because I couldn't provide it even though I was NEVER sent one. Customer service was also useless in providing me with an answer!

@Amphibizzy Except you, I haven't heard anyone having problems with that kind of stuff so I guess Nintendo doesn't have those rights either?

@realabzhu @KahliefAdams Same could be said with Xbox BC which most games don't play to hot. It's all about investing. 50hz issue is one thong, but what we do know is that it's a simple fix of a inserting of a ISO to the package like with Nintendo's N64 emulation for NSO to counter the 50hz.

@wastelandJD Problems that came from game journos: "All games should have multiplayer" "Turn Based = antiquated" "JRPG? - 1 point on the review for no real reason" "It's about the message not the gameplay" "Nintendo should go 3rd party"

(@trsrpc) reported
@realabzhu @KahliefAdams Only PS1, and it could be easily patched. Just like how Nintendo fixed their emulation. Also haye to break it to you, but the BC program for Xbox ended. With most games on the service being mediocre.

@h0llyQuinn So sorry for the confusion! We are currently investigating an error with the order confirmation page/email, but rest assured Snorlax will arrive stuffed & ready to play per licensing agreements with Nintendo. Please don't hesitate to reach out with any other concerns. Bear hugs!

@zonkeybong Yeah, though to be fair Nintendo does it to avoid a class action lawsuit, tbh I think those are a great kind of project to get into electronics, my xbox controller had the same issue and it got fixed by blowing some compressed air into the stick box

All these games that aren’t on the Nintendo Switch go down to like 20-30 bucks during Black Friday and sometimes are buy 2 get 1 free. $180 can carry you a long way if you’re smart. Game pass costs $180 without owning the games and they may end up leaving the service.

1st time I played XC2 I loved it but felt like it must have had some issues during development. What I didn't expect was that Nintendo was keeping half of Monolith busy with BotW during XC2 development. I hope nothing like that happened with XC3 and got the attention it deserves.

@foxygames_uk Nintendo delayed Metroid Prime 4 so hard they had to reboot development. Sony has been "working" on live service games forever now... Who cares? That's how Videogame development works, why are people making such a big deal? Its like people WANT another Cyberpunk...

@GamerGeeksTodd @Soplox @Kotaku Is that literally the only thing you took away from that is "xbox" but when I mentioned nintendo that's okay? And they have EVERYTHING to do with this since they've ALSO done shady stuff before too. Announcing unsubbing from one specific service is a game bias.

@kangkomeji @jmparello @ponettplus I had this same problem at one point, if you call Nintendo customer service they’ll help you resolve the issue, it may just take an hour or more.

Hey I think I might get my switch Nintendo account back or I'm close to the problem is my internet sucks so if you look at my pinned tweet that might be happening today

the game still has that weird feeling problem where it's more of a mario-brand game with designs of literal paper, almost like nintendo thought that was what people liked from paper mario and not that it was effectively a continuation of super mario rpg

(@Slysonic2) reported
@fersama10 @tweezocko @AidenRS139 Fans were buying the game up until Starfox command which really almost killed the franchise. 643D sold alright since it’s a remake of a classic. But the problem is that Zero is just starfox 1 again. Nintendo really retold the first game 3 times rather than progressing the series

@Helexzura @Vohris_GG If the Nintendo crowd has an issue with this, then they should demand better from Nintendo. Nintendo has some of the most beloved games ever in their vault rotting away. They could add the games to their subscription and allow for downloads instead of making emulation desirable.

@imranzomg Meanwhile I have no doubt I could run this on my Steam Deck with little issue since Nintendo doesn’t exactly give me a choice 😕 Man, I wish that company cared about its legacy as much as its fans do…
