The Issue: its really slow....even tho its a racing game.... this deff would have been a better ride structure for Luigi’s Mansion. Im hoping since in the US theres going to be an entire Nintendo Park that will be the case for theming that ride.

@TremiRodomi Eh. I dunno. Im still ok with them. I dont like how heavy handed they were the Glover issue but as far as some of the random nonsense accusations being flung at them about hoarding IPS... Thats fine. At least they are actively trying to release them to storefronts unlike Nintendo

@BoundaryBreak They really could've done so much to fix New Horizons QoL issues. I don't get why Nintendo is treated like an indie studio that can't afford to make changes to their games.

@NintendoAmerica This is a problem because, without something significant to work towards, these RPG battles come off as time-wasting filler, to which the problem gets compounded if the systems are complex and lengthy (like with Origami King) or are imperfectly executed (like with SS and CS)

@Akfamilyhome So Nintendo can take down fan creations just fine but have no problem taking other people's creations?

waiting until the day the next Nintendo leak happens where Pikmin's source code gets leaked just so we can try to fix the bugs that the first game had.

@PowerA @NintendoAmerica I confirmed that my wired @PowerA controller works the same way with the parental controls app. It still seems like a Nintendo issue, unless you can confirm that it works for you. My system is up to date.

@NintendoAmerica your garbage *** pro controller joy sticks broke on me on the second use. Jesus Christ fix your controllers there’s no way a $60 controller breaks that quickly. Pathetic.

@WayForward Hypothetically speaking... if Nintendo were to announce GB & GBC games coming to the Nintendo Switch Online service. Would Shantae be included as part of it or would it be it's own separate paid download?

@BudgetArcade @Blizzard_Ent @PlayOverwatch Destiny 2 players are still mad about the switch to free and are even more angry about how it’s a service they need to constantly pay into to receive any kind of decent perks. The only way it works well is like how Nintendo Switch is offering swaths of very retro games for free.

@PeachPubby this server makes them stack into 1 chicken to save server lag. I tried to name the full stack "Nintendo 64 Chickens in 1" but turns out if you name one it separates it from the stack so now I'm sad

@IGN Finally things are moving forward. Nintendo has done nothing for the past 4 years. They could have fixed the issue with the release of 2019 version but decided not to.

And now that its a new year I may try to do casual Nintendo discussions on that channel too when I'm not working on the bigger projects for WNN, WHICH ARE COMING I PROMISE!!!

@makreeldraws here's the big issue I have with that--it sold more than the highest selling pikmin game, which had...three games and a spinoff so I'm really confused what the issue is on nintendo's end, unless they kept doin pikmin just to humor miyamoto's pet project?

I want every **** who angrily told me I'm an ******* for playing switch games without a wired connection to choke on a big **** the wireless connection was never the issue it's Nintendo's net code. What a waste of twenty bucks.

@PattyWhacked @prenticeneto @Akfamilyhome Which is why I ******* said that Nintendo's problem is in the supervision, not in actually copying the thing, which comes from Universal. This is like saying that it's Sega's fault for someone in a cereal using art from a fan. It isn't for this but for it passing over supervisio

@THEREALRTU @Nintendo @YouTube The issue is that Nintendo does this 1 step forward 2 steps back thing with hardware.. or they used to. The gamecube should have had larger media/discs.. they were small.. and some developers had to use more than one like freaking CDs were done on the early playstation.

@Dragonogon only problem: uprising was specifically developed for 3ds. tho, I wouldn't put it past (pass?passed? Idk) nintendo to make some sort of new add-on or just a new switch model just so people can play ports of 3ds/dsi/ds games.

@Lord_Nightmare @LuigiBlood I just came across this issue too. I had to go through 3 different Super Nintendo’s to finally find one that would actually play Super off Road and Turtles in Time. Games run fine, but only on a particular SNES.

@Its_HappyRu @danfornace thankfully, all video game mechanics aside, nintendo didnt purpisely add several frames of TERRIBLY noticable, absolutely unforgivable (for a fighting game) input lag for a reason we don't know

@Vanoffanelia @K_Dogg0 @SpawnWaveMedia The touch screen was used for the menu, but again a bare minimum fix. The Nintendo 64 remakes were pretty much the same games but with better graphics. A Link Between Worlds would be the only one that would require any modicum of effort.

@kujikawaii Oh wow, I didn't know it sold so many copies! Then maybe it's just the usual problem with Nintendo and that they've run out of ideas for a sequel? (many say this is also the reason for no new mario kart, starfox and f-zero game)

@DemeechYT Man this is my biggest problem with Nintendo. They still think we’re overly nostalgic for the NES and SNES. As someone who grew up in the 2000’s, I’d do anything to play more GameCube games on my Switch, especially because I missed out on most titles due to owning a PS2 instead

@cha0sCola More deserving: Rayman More wanted: Crash I say rayman is more deserving in relation to smash/nintendo. Ubisoft really deserves a rep, seeing how close the two companies are. Crash is more deserving based on recognition.
