this movie keeps touting the NES as the like........... "best ""entertainment system"" that played video games" like please. its a video game system. Nintendo just had to be different than atari because they caused the huge crash and people didn't have faith in video games

@CALLYOULATERR @Donnbom its rare that Nintendo does any clearance, its mostly when the system is dead, that they go down, but ps and xbox have no issues

I like how Microsoft sells the Xbox platform as a service rather than just trying to sell consoles like Sony or Nintendo

@louise_yapxxx unstable connection Nintendo's worst problem for not putting dedicated servers to play quietly.

The thing with M+R is, both the JP and Western versions come in Chinese, the only difference being one distributed by Nintendo and another by Ubisoft, and both are sold on one store front. This is not a problem in Japan or the West since they only sell one of the versions.(9/N)

has anyone had problems when docking their Switch and it won't show up on TV? I don't think it's the cable since I docked my brother's Nintendo Switch and it showed up on TV but mine isn't displaying on the TV when I dock it...????

A Nintendo-clad collection of filled polygons slumps into sated silence to reveal no neck at all. There seems to be a slight glitch at Margaret Thatcher.

@CrossiestTrash @Kotlolish @enosetc The remakes use Unity, showing the engine isn't a problem, and Square has a great relationship with Nintendo. Stranger things have happened. Would save ILCA a lot of hassle if that's the look they're working towards.

@Pokemon @NintendoAmerica Hmm, is there a reason why the sounds in Pokemon Brilliant Diamond and Shining Pearl goes off at random. When I got my first badge I did not hear the badge get jingle. I was like, what the heck? I noticed I'm not the only one with that issue.

Imagine using the the modem, keyboard and tape drive with a Mario/Zelda/Metroid level design cartridge to make, store and exchange levels over a service like GameLine or PlayCable in the late 80's. Nintendo had the capital for such a project. Or an official homebrew cart.

@GirlyWolfPup I think that people would ask for remakes less if Nintendo actually put in the effort and ported games onto newer systems (without a ****** subscription service)

@Ketsuki_WoW @Nintendo Because in 2021? Nintendo is still trying to work out how to have a competent online service, let alone giving us remasters of games we want.

@SilverTheCatast @taranfight @TAHK0 It's a nintendo issue, that's what it is. They have horrible internet. It's why smash sucks online. it's why the emulator they have is years behind even the most basic computer ready ones, they didn't put the time or effort into making it work.
