@svdicvl @evan_brooke01 @NintendoAmerica No, Nintendo now fixes out of warranty drifting joy-cons for free if you fill out the form and use the label they send you to send them in. They started doing it since they a law firm started a lawsuit. I sent my out of warranty broken joy-con in right when they started it.

@GirlyWolfPup I think that people would ask for remakes less if Nintendo actually put in the effort and ported games onto newer systems (without a ****** subscription service)

@CrossiestTrash @Kotlolish @enosetc The remakes use Unity, showing the engine isn't a problem, and Square has a great relationship with Nintendo. Stranger things have happened. Would save ILCA a lot of hassle if that's the look they're working towards.

@NaZyrus07 @NintendoAmerica Hmm. Lame. I understand the fix isn't hard to perform if you have built a computer or something of that complication.

I love my Xbox Series S, PS5 and Nintendo Switch Oled. The main problem is the obsessed fanboys on all the platforms that make gaming a toxic place. The Sony Ponies are the worst 100%. #SeriesS

The thing with M+R is, both the JP and Western versions come in Chinese, the only difference being one distributed by Nintendo and another by Ubisoft, and both are sold on one store front. This is not a problem in Japan or the West since they only sell one of the versions.(9/N)

@SilverTheCatast @taranfight @TAHK0 It's a nintendo issue, that's what it is. They have horrible internet. It's why smash sucks online. it's why the emulator they have is years behind even the most basic computer ready ones, they didn't put the time or effort into making it work.
