@PlayerEssence People think Nintendo is getting a "pass for technical issues"?

@dbrand @DWonex E have a ps2 with disk problems, and a Nintendo 64 that doesn't run. Help upgrade for something better 🙏 (Actually I would be happy to win anything (free stuff tastes better right?))

It's bullshit that I can't even use the New Horizons dream service without a Nintendo Online subscription. I know servers cost money, but like. Really? If you buy a game, you should get the features of it. I understand charging for online *play* but???? Anyway.

@Sigfried999 @UmbralThorn @NintendoAmerica Am I really angry or you just think i'm angry because it suits you? If escapism is the issue, there are hundreds and thousands of titles to choose from to get that escapism. Why is this one special?

@AaronFGC Man IDK what yall are doing to your joycons LOL the only issue I've ever had is the drift and that's after months of heavy use. While annoying, it's a quick fix with a $5 replacement stick module from Amazon (or just send them to Nintendo)

@Akira092421 @OrigiGreatness It won’t happen because Jim Ryan hates PlayStation history. Specifically Japanese PS game history. Restoring the option to make O the confirm button (aligning with Nintendo) will fix more things than any achievement they manage to gain for the entire lifespan of the console.

@ThisIsXel I don't have the problem with PS5 controllers but with a new controller every month with Nintendo Switch think about it

@NBA2K How about fixing or improved the gameplay software due to hang corrupt too much isn't only Nintendo Switch problem due to graphics or version during editing rosters in rotation lineups, in game 🙏🎮🏀🏆

I'm launching wiiware and virtual console games from my sd card (through WADs) and they keep giving me a failed to launch message. How do I install the IOS to fix this? (I have an sd card, and a chromebook. I was able to do a lot with the chromebook) #wii #hacking #nintendo

@IsaiahJJohn Their legal department has a lot of issues. I don’t understand it. None of us do though. We don’t work at Nintendo.

Still thinking about the Nintendo Advance Wars thing, which is maybe the worst PR flailing I've ever seen. Completely unforced error

@itshammond @ExpandDong15 It's called "post" traumatic stress not current traumatic stress I think they have slightly bigger issues than playing their pre order war game on their Nintendo switch

@MangleMan25 @joelturnerolco1 I had never bring my gamepad with me for more than 15 ft. The same length it is to my room and bathroom. And I would trust Nintendo's word given how they would fix your joycons, but wouldn't really fix them and ignore that Drift exist.

@possiblylogann I don't see the issue with it, I'll just replace all my audio with equally as well crafted stuff, nintendo level quality, by hiring professionals, with all my money; better yet I'll learn exactly how to make sound effects and master them entirely from scratch now

@ActualAero look at the performance issues the one who is already out has/had. i prefer to wait for a polished game and Nintendo delivers usually good products for a new game. unfortunately they dont give the same treatment for the online service of the n64 emulator they provided

@Krexxal I don't think so. Otherwise the site wouldn't be able to exist. They take down anything that a rights holder requests them to. That's only mostly happened with smaller studios though. Nintendo doesn't see them as an issue... but they might if they started posting gigaleak stuff

@TheYellowKazoo @SmashJT That just Nintendo of America. The staff there probably raise this issue during one of their meeting and decided to hold it off due to current event just for brownie points.

@DirectFeedGames Not saying it couldn’t happen because it can but I’ve never heard of Nintendo or Microsoft being toxic. That’s likely because they take these issues very seriously and handle things quickly when problems do arise, as they should.

@CometObservator Unfortunately, Nintendo has had a good amount of plot holes, continuity errors, out of character moments, poorly written things, and questionable choices in their sites and also games in the last two eras. I wish there was a way to report that stuff.

@Sigfried999 @UmbralThorn @NintendoAmerica I don't think this is a theoretical offense. I think it's being a functional member of society. You think of others, even if it's to save your ***. You think of how others might react just in case it harms you. Waiting for the backlash is seeking free trouble.

@Sigfried999 @UmbralThorn @NintendoAmerica Again, that it not your problem 🤔 If you decide this is a dealbreaker then fine, but then their sales are not something you should be concerned about.

@VanishedOmens I wish I could send it in to Nintendo to see if they can fix it, but it’s one of the models that they will no longer fix. Plus it’s hacked and they probably won’t like that lol I’ll try to figure out what’s wrong but I’m not sure what to do if I can’t fix it.

@ShaaWarlock I feel like I'm looking at a mirror because I also like Lola Pop and Dr. Coyle! Yeah, Min Min was the right choice for Smash because the other ARMS characters would've been way too broken. If we want to see ARMS 2, then we have to start asking Nintendo for it.

@VICY_COFFEE There's a reason why MGS fans still play MGS1 regularly till this day, many new players too, many that I know. The issue is them not being accessible, graphics aren't everything. There's a reason why so many fans have begged Nintendo to offer the N64 service they have
