@MLGBudderCD Theres a small chance this is due to an issue with your switch hardware, something similar happened to my original launch day switch for every game i played on it right after i bought it, if it gets worse or happens in other games id recommend contacting Nintendo!

@nicolecarman ughhh 😩 i had a chance to get a switch from a friend for a stealllll. but i didn’t take it because there weren’t a lot of nintendo games that were appealing to me at the time except pokémon, but i still had a working DS w/ pokémon games now i have a broken DS and no switch 😐

@Ardhamon92 @shawceresita @MorsGames How is calling someone a bootlicker when all their saying is that Nintendo and any other company are well within their right to strike accounts that use their copyright? The fact is it is the law, now if you want to argue the morale issue go for it but this ain't the place.

@ExeJayzee @RickuTwitch @AjentVee Anything I like is because I think it's genuinely good. I can't relate to that. Also, they had to outsource DP remakes just to get Legends developed. And it's not just GF. It's Nintendo and the Pokemon Company as well. The problem is that Pokemon is one of the world's biggest

@DynamoSuperX Seeing so many people get the law confused with morale issues here. They are not the same in the slightest. Nintendo are well within their right, whether you believe that should be the case is a totally different arguement.

Sorry that my stream was so scuffed. turns out there is an issue with Minecraft Realms on Nintendo Switch and it's been a documented issue for over a year.

@swirlyvee It's a little insulting seeing how ****** the Switch's hardware is compared to its competition, but that's an issue I have with Nintendo, not specific games, if that makes sense

Managed to fix the ol Nintendo Wii at my mums request. Also found a pair of earrings under the tv cabinet that I thought had been stolen when I was robbed while living in the hellhouse so. Happy Sunday???

@Dean2__ @DynamoSuperX So why doesn't Nintendo try to sell these songs? That would fix the problem for at least a majority of people.

@IuckyHD I wish I could play it, but my Nintendo is so old and actually is broken. Ima need a repair and then I can enjoy the beauty of Pokémon legends: Arceus.

@ActualAero Could anyone help: I have Legends as a digital copy on an SD card. If I buy an OLED switch and move the SD card over and login to my nintendo account, will I have to make a new game save file? or will I keep my progress?

Every so often the child shows signs of ‘Princess-ism’ e.g ‘the bed is messy, can someone fix it please’ and ‘can’t find the Nintendo Switch’ when it has been moved 2cm from where it normally is.

Dear Nintendo: If you don’t release the soundtracks of the games whose music uploads you DMCA on YouTube. We are just going to pirate instead. You made the pirating problem worse, as always.

@MakotoShirogan2 @LuigiBlood The problem is really that it only existed at two Nintendo-partnered universities (to the best of my knowledge), of which one didn't even utilize Mario Factory. Finding any unit in the wild would be nothing short of a miracle, not unlike the "Nintendo PlayStation".

@DoppelDraconius The problem is, this only works for so many titles, so many decades, then you have to re-recycle the same game again. (But that's not our problem, it's Ativision's, EA, Microsoft, Nintendo, etc...)

@PSLifeStyle YEAH. Nintendo’s got the best online service! Wait….just wanna say, I like Nintendo’s strategy (I bought a lot of the VC titles so to not have to buy them individually again is nice) and don’t really use online so I don’t see the negatives. There’s so many negatives

@nintendolife There have been copyright strikes because of music long before people made a big deal out of Nintendo doing it. So thanks for perpetuating the scapegoating I guess. There are worse problems.

@doctorwyrm the drift is due to a flaw in the joystick design, you can send them to nintendo to get fixed but it takes a long time, or you can pay like $30 for replacement after-market joysticks. there likely will not be a true drift fix without a radical redesign

@PlanoNameHokeB So... Valid criticism isn't allowed because it's a common criticism of the development team at Nintendo and Intelligent Systems? So like.. if there's a genuine issue that lots of people bring up... I should ignore it because it's multiple people?

(@ScruffTail) reported
@harrylinlisacco @nintendolife Next you'll start condemning people who emulate older games because they can't afford to spend £100+ on Gamecube hardware and games. Which is ONLY a problem because Nintendo refuses to rerelease games in an accessible manner. It's explicitly anti-consumer

@WaitsBrett @Snappy_SSB @Alpharad What average sane person saves in lorelei room in gen 1 with a primape who's only useable move is rage and has no pp restoring items, or usable hms or tms cause nintendo sure as hell thinks that's a genuine issue to create unique ai, so by comparison this is a major flaw to them
