@KiGuyv2 Go to replays, save a video of only the clip part, go to videos, upload the video, download the Nintendo online app, use the smash bros service. It should be there in 30 mins tops

@LazyBearGames @Nintendo Thank you for looking into this. I didn't have much problems before the dlc but since I encounter frequent crashes (particularly during cutscenes and saving) and sometimes npcs don't show up on their days. Other than that I've been loving the new dlc

@HatokTalk Kinda feels like they knew they wanted to make Rise but then saw the initial Switch plans and told Nintendo to fix their crap akdjskdjskdj

Nintendo: wont fix joycon drift, even when they went to court over it Valve: fixed my drifting index controller for free despite the warranty ending a year ago

@PlagueBrought @hardwarecanucks There's also that whole legal issue with emulating an actively sold console's games, heh. Nintendo are going to be a LOT more lawyer heavy here.

@RiotRMD @JazRignall I was obsessed with cheats and used to know ones for games I didn’t even own. My proudest moment (chest wise) was finding that screen warp glitch for Link’s Awakening on Gameboy. It got published in Nintendo Magazine System.

If this becomes incredibly successful, it'll force nintendo to fix their ****. I think the Switch is a great console but MAN does it have a ton of shortcomings

@rozell_shawn @NJokermain @N_Officialstore If you defend Nintendo on bad decisions tho I'd say you're just as much part of the problem.

@BosniaNpc @OrdinaryGamers Because nintendo dosent try to catch up with the times and instead does whatever ******** they want, like, there is no reason the joycon drift thing is still an issue, it just is lol

@TmarTn I mean...I'd agree if the Steam Deck had Nintendo Exclusive. Gotta get my Mario Kart fix! :) That's really the only thing they have going for them, are there exclusives.

@FergieMIC @Halinacl @NintendoUK But then I had issues back when borderlands and bioshock were released but I have had reassurances it will be here tomorrow so we will see

@BlackSa87753364 That’s only an excuse. The issue is that Nintendo won’t pay 3rd parties for support for their consoles.

@HardDriveMag And this thing is digital-only, and with Valve having fought against game ownership laws in the EU, this feels really shady. I want Nintendo to have a good scare, but Valve should focus on their own problems first.

@Hylianhero777 (Then we get a Wii U level crash when Nintendo thinks they don’t have to try and they scramble to try and fail to fix it for the next 4 years)

@Jeralt8 @NintendoAmerica I'm not sure. Investigate into your overheating problem more I guess.

So the Steam Deck sounds like everything the Vita should have been: a powerful portable console with a vast library of games and support from devs. The problem I see... is that it mostly resembles a Nintendo Switch, sans detachable controllers. Just lol.

@ArmoredChocobo @Steam Nintendo only patented the specific design for the Switch, as well as Joycons themselves iirc Since the controllers don't disconnect I doubt there's any legal issue, this design is way older than the switch

@Steam Like damn, you guys are getting close to the bad console practices nintendo been doing lately, you guys got the drift issue in the index controllers mirroring that of the joycons, what's to stop the drift being that bad on this system? Why should we trust you?

@BlackSa87753364 “Yet it was Nintendo's shady backroom deals” The industry was just recovering from a crash. They had to be shady or else the whole thing would come crashing down again.

@theWellRedMage The problem is when a company tries to do something that Nintendo does, it doesen’t usually work. I’m not talking about indie games which can do a better job sometimes, but things like this.

@WxManKyle @notaxation They don’t mean much for Xbox considering their software and service model, and If Sony commits to pc it will also matter less to them. But in sonys current model, hardware sales is just ab everything and an accurate measure of how big their ecosystem is. Same w Nintendo.

@ProGear360 A Nintendo switch for people who have actually hit puberty! Can’t wait to see more, as long as battery life is ok, and there’s no silly heating issues then I’ll be snagging this for sure.

@ManyATrueNerd The game cries out for a remake/remaster on modern systems. So many people didn't have the opportunity to play this when it came out. The rights issues seems to have been resolved with Nintendo holding them so there shouldn't be a barrier

@mariokarttourEN Is this some bad joke? Do you realize how many players will be harmed just because their cell phones are "weak" for you? But for you to lose millions of players is no problem, right. It's fascinating how bad Nintendo can be even in mobile gaming.
