i thought about this last night in the shower: since nintendo is seemingly heading towards this more "choose your style" approach in games (which i love btw), i dont see why the magypsies in mother 3 would be too much of an issue

Then add that for Pokémon on to be the full experience you need both versions (if you want to) home (paid service) Nintendo online (another paid service) expansions (30 bucks for each) and let’s go pikachu and eevee if you wanted the special pokemon

@Stealth40k Now, if a miracle happens, and this E3 Nintendo remembers than Variety Exist, Crash & Spyro in Smash and/or a Star Fox 1st party game, Well, maybe i can recover my faith... But the truth is, than THAT, with the current Nintendo is Impossible plus 7/8

@Evolust @sincespacies Nintendo suits can't even figure out their online service so don't confuse them too much there with the idea of release cycles :p

@USEmCee @YourFave3E Cool, worst comes to worst you can crash on my couch. Children may poke you awake at 8 or so to play Nintendo, but I figure that's not a problem for you.

@Skititlez @Stealth40k On one hand, I really want to have all those games playable on Switch. On the other, WHY WON’T NINTENDO LET ME BUY THEIR LEGACY CONTENT INSTEAD OF SUBSCRIBING TO A SERVICE?!

@NintendoAmerica pokemon shield. The ultra ball. Supposed to have a 75% chance of catching a pokemon. Not a 7.5% chance. Like come on I've used 12 ultraballs on a pokemon. Only to have him break out 12 times. Fix your ****. I want a refund. This game is aids.

@SkylerBarwell It's the manufacturer that's the issue. I repaired my own joycons before Nintendo offered to do it for free and I haven't had joycon drift since.

@a_wild_zubat_ow And there goes that pathetic excuse. "Oh, they're still making games, so that means the pandemic is no problem for them". I didn't know you work for TPC, GF or Nintendo. Please tell us more about the process of the upcoming games.

@NintendoUK Hi I need some support regarding an order my auntie made on the My Nintendo Store. She sent an email reply to MNS Support but it bounced back. She’s not on social media and we were asked to supply photos of a broken item that arrived. Could someone DM me please?

@loogi_07 The game alone is fine. It’s a cool idea and it’s honestly a lot of fun. My problem is that once the game stops being updated from Nintendo. It’s not very fun to play without any new gear or slaptfest or just...anything. And dear god...the music...it’s...horrendous.

Thinking about how the reason TMS didn’t get dubbed on either release was because Nintendo basically said “it takes place in Japan they don’t speak English” Meanwhile games like TWEWY and the SMT games (which TMS crossed over with 💀) got dubs no problem

@elementrus @JakeyE_Honda @IGN In my opinion i’d just say let Nintendo repair the Switch Lite, that things low-key a nightmare to repair by yourself, not impossible, but annoying, personally i’ve never had issues with anything drifting except third-party stuff.

@Canadianguyehh If this is one of those said things, where would they announce it? Sure, Crash in Smash would be a Nintendo thing like at E3, but everything else? I would have to assume the next PS event, or even Day Of The Devs for Summer Games Fest

Nintendo themselves have historically opted for cheaper hardware and we praise them for it. Illumination does the same with movies and it's an issue? Isn't writing more important? Also won't Nintendo have creative control on that aspect anyway?

@noctisismyking Would be pretty cool, just one potential issue... Didn't GI/Zhongli come out after Fighter's Pass 2 was announced and Nintendo had said they'd already made their picks? 🤔

@VincenzoPlays @sincespacies I've seen people cite the NES cart thing as Nintendo trying to mimic a VCR saying that it was an "entertainment system" because retailers were too afraid to stock "video games" after the crash they just went through.

I can also fix joycon drift but that's something you're better off going through Nintendo for since they don't charge for it but I do.

@TheNCSmaster I just don't get how Nintendo hasn't done this already. Make NSO $60 per year and add all of this. People would pay the money just for these games to be accessible again. Who gives a **** about the actual online service? Lol

@nintendolife I wound up with 2 defective consoles. First one lasted 2 years until issues, then the new one with better battery life only lasted a year. Great products @NintendoAmerica

@GloriousKev @ShadowFAsura1 @rmvnda the only big problem I had with xbox was the fact that you had to pay for xbox live to play a free game that kind of defeats the purpose of a free game heck even nintendo understood that that's why they made it so when they made their service they let you
