@Dippahh_ @engadgetgaming bought one secondhand, it had drift, paid 20$ for it. sent it in to nintendo for a free replacement. no issues since. they still need to address the drift issue in all their controllers. it's more notable in the joycon, but the pros do it to. @nintendo fix your ****.

@AlbertEinstein If that picture is anything to go by. Any four year old child given a Nintendo Wi not whole lot of time and hand held remote will solve for the problem irrespective of difficulty level in mere matter of minutes. Proving that artificial general intelligence is a waste of resources

@NintendoUK the expansion pack seems like a bundle with switch online service to me. I would like to try but not be committed to a whole year. Is there away of doing this?

Stop assuming you’re in control. You’re not. Follow the standard and do it right like your competitors do and stop blaming Nintendo/Sony/Microsoft for what’s your problem. (Turning off cdc on your TVs stops the issue and snooping HDMI messaging it’s your tv sending)

Hey @NintendoAmerica @NintendoCanada It’s 2022, how about we try fixing online so it’s not a lag filled mess? I keep getting matched with laggy users I blocked for that reason #SmashBrosUltimate

@BackOfThePack4 @Lyroy_TheToad Someone was running an unofficial Mario NFT service and was using it to gain people’s credit card details. Nintendo caught wind of it and shut the whole thing down.

@WomenMuscular all three of them are awful ideas made to compensate for the modern games’ legitimate problems. because nintendo thought game balancing on an e-rated rpg is apparently a bad thing

Japan has been little affected by this crash, but Nintendo changed the gaming industry when they released the NES in 1985 in the US: their focus was to release high quality games and maintain games quality standards through the Seal of Quality (Ernkvist 2008, page 19). 14/16

@DreadSquadz @hamsolo05gaming Again, Nintendo, Sony and Microsoft have drift problems, so no, not a Microsoft problem, it's a Industry problem that all companies should work on

... uh Apparently a year of nintendo online isn't completely unreasonable price wise. Less than half what I would've expected. Lowkey tempting, even if I loathe that online as premium service console model.

@Lyroy_TheToad If they do, than i can’t wait for the millions of “But it has nothing to do with Nintendo switch online” comments from crypto-babies. (As if a low quality monkey Jpeg is “BeTtEr” than a crappy online service.)

@itsVenatorial @FrozenR6 You run straight to the discord before googling your own tech support issues Max. I wouldn't trust you with finding the hdmi port on a Nintendo switch.

@ThunderSnow259 I don't feel like it's an "old school" problem honestly. Nintendo's never seen online gaming as a huge priority, which just came and bit them in the butt only recently. Microsoft I'm iffy on, and Sony.... yeah, I'm super worried Sony might go all-in.

@Nintendeal Well if Banjo-Kazooie is coming the NSO then I don't see why Goldeneye 007 can't come aswell, they're both Rare IPs infact it was actually Nintendo who tried to get the game unbanned in Germany so why would they go through that trouble just so Xbox can benefit from it

@NintendoAmerica can you fix a problem in animal crossing please? I keep accidently picking up items when picking flowers. I do not need to be facing the object. If I am not exactly on the boarder of the flower infront of me, it will pick up any object around me.

@TheIzzyBomb That's the problem there never will be the creator said he's done he's told the story he wanted to tell and we won't get a port cuz Nintendo hates it's fans

@Bruh2234521 No because yakuza 1 and 2 were originally ps2 games that never got an og xbox version. Thus there’s no xbox code to emulate. There was a Wii/Wii u remaster so in theory Nintendo could do something with those original 2 games. As for kenzan that’s a PS3 only game, so same issue.

At least those 2 are negligible & I can be patient until ? nintendo patches this ? glitch ? I still don't know if it's a glitch or a feature & nobody has helped me on the reddit ):

@PecPkmn To me, I just think the main issues are time and a lack of manpower. Game Freak should work closer with Nintendo EPD on the next mainline Pokémon title.
