@DefNonHornyCat still no Nintendo online the best online service ever made

@LiquidHbox @NintendoAmerica This is an inevitability of delay-based netcode. Not every freeze or chug from online is a lag switch (for the people in the comments), however coincidentally timed it may seem sometimes. Doesn't mean it can't happen, though.

@joveyjove It's weird because I jump between Sony and Nintendo no problem, it's just the buttons with the same names in different places that throws me

Why do we pay for @NintendoAmerica’s online service, only for it to run like *** all the time?

@PapaWrite I love Nintendo and I still buy their stuff because their games just appeal to me the most, but yeah, I have not been pleased with their anti-consumer practices and cheap, faulty hardware and have done next to nothing to fix the issue. It's been very disappointing.

@SLSolidarity @7awliet @hasanthehun to compare xbox online service to nintendo's online service is a joke. hell even ps3's free online offers more features and is arguably more stable than switch's online.

@NessyBoy64 it's been a problem for a long while it's only that dmca comments in particular got exponentially worse since december. and for the record it's far, far from the first time i've talked about the nintendo community acting like they control how people can and can't use nintendo ip.

@NintendoUK Continued... customer services can see that it states it still ‘dispatching’, I am being told I have to wait for the results from a investigation with Hermes (👈🏽 the packaging 📦 distribution company). Would you please remind me what is ‘the consumers law’ regarding this issue?

So yeah both my pro controllers and Joycons have drift. One of the controllers drift both upwards and downwards. This is why I'm not playing on my Switch. I hate buying more broken stuff. Nintendo needs to get their **** together with this issue.

Y'know: I wouldn't have a problem with these NA Mario Kart 8 Deluxe Tourneys, if @NintendoAmerica gave us different formats than the same 150cc shenanigans, and gave 2500 gold points to the top 20 instead, at the very least

(@This1sPink) reported
@CrossFitJesus95 Oh ****, really? I guess I just kind of assumed that it was less powerful based on how Nintendo kinda sorta seems to lag behind in the graphics department these days. I'm pretty sure that that's the case for the Wii and I guess I assumed the GameCube was no different.

@smog_fog I mean it kinda happens too often. It’s only inevitable that it’s an on running joke in the fandom because it’s an onrunning problem with Nintendo. They’re not trying to be mean or “drown out the topic”

Epic fail. Tried to play Totally Reliable Delivery Service on Nintendo Switch and it's unplayable with 2 players with only 1 set of joycons 😭

@KhaosOfficial4 @TargetRestock You have the exact opposite issue I having. I just want the console. I also noticed we are getting notified for non PS5 items also, like Nintendo stuff, Disney stuff & PC graphics cards. It would behove multiple folks for them to separate them.

@SuperJonny64 @TOPolk @t_wrecks_64 That's been a problem for Nintendo's consoles since the N64, though there's an argument that the Gamecube bucked the trend to some extent. (previous version of this tweet was worded weirdly)

Yakuza Collection Available Now On XBox! 🇯🇵 + 💚
(@4KMadLad) reported
Without the Gal-Gun Returns issue being resolved, the only way I'd tenatively/begrudgingly be OK with this is if Sony or Nintendo were already looking to buy--or God forbid one of the streaming services. And that's only cos those alternatives are much worse at the moment, IMO.

@WavePrism_ its stupid how bad nintendo is at optimizing its ports like bro even tho i want a switch pro to fix that problem it shouldn't be that hard to make a game thats running on a 7 year old engine run at 1080p 60fps

Weird that GameCube Nintendo is trending today. I received a replacement laser today and tried to fix mine from childhood. Could not get it to work.

It’s still a single-digit game but the defense is the problem. Just lagging like the Nintendo Cloud version of Hitman 3

I did contact Nintendo support about and even the guy was confused about this so I got to wait 2 days to see if there's a way to fix this, like I'm the first to get this issue .
