Most of the spelling errors were intentional it's up to you to decide which ones. And that's a better update than anything nintendo has done for me in my very specific complaint

@windstorms_ I don't plan on buying the Nintendo Online Service + Expansion Pack. I just want to buy Happy Home Paradise separately. Is HHP an online service or something?

@MostStrange Oh, ok cool 👍🏻👍🏻 everything else I think can just transfer to a new switch using my Nintendo account. I tried to look up why my screen is flickering and how to fix it but I can’t find anything. It’s only like 17 months old…

@Etanibrut @gabsMuitoHetero @Yes_Erick_AR Most of them just play for the vbucks Wich isn't an issue but just kind of bothers me personally since I really enjoy the game but never got the founders edition since I played on Nintendo switch until ch2 season 3/4

If I have Nintendo's Online Service and it expires after I bought Happy Home Paradise, will I still be able to play the Happy Home Paradise content offline? Or is that an online only feature?

@RapidPilot2 @TheNCSmaster @IGN The problem with your Genesis games arguement is that when you do buy the Genesis Classic Physical game, its a one time fee for games that are yours to keep and not locked on a expensive subscription service. A service Nintendo isn’t even trying much to improve upon.

@NintendoAUNZ @Nintendo since your dms are closed and your support is slow as hell, is there any way to get support for the ACNH DLC not working? Shows purchased in the store but won't show in the game?

@PikminBloom & @NianticHelp When are you going to fix account linking? Some family members started with a nintendo account and can't link to their pokemon go account. Hate to start a new game because your linking is messed up

@Marlotix Knowing Nintendo idk if they'll fix it. But I hope they do because we're paying $50 for emulation like this when it used to work better on older consoles. This is just sad lol

i still wish characters like / similar to joker could not be held back by nintendo's ****** online service but not much to be done there other than the occasional yuzu so far. either way, any online service adds latency over offline, but ofc the options could still be better.

When will Nintendo push out a patch to fix the new Mario Party? I have no desire to buy a Mario Party I can't watch 4 AI players battle it out by making the worst decisions possible.

Honestly looking back, Virtual Console was a great service for Nintendo consoles. I feel like the service model is a bit stupid since they can be bought somewhere else or something. I feel like they couldve done Virtual Console better but they just threw it away.

@LloydZelos @JonComms Presumably the ROM is fine. Afaik it's the same one used by the older virtual consoles. The issues seem to be a side effect from the lua scripting Nintendo used.

@MldGhost @anunnakigamer82 @BrokenGamezHDR_ Companies will charge for what they want, Nintendo & Sony are free to charge what they want for their service/games, if more people keep buying them, that is their money to do with as they please. Don't get your feels hurt over that. Spend on what u want.

The AC island transfer tool being stuck in a constant loop of connection issues honestly makes me want to scream. I don't want to have to call a rep to use the cloud save bs either. Just let me copy pasta this **** to the new system 🙃 @NintendoAmerica the hell

@thabeast721 Also, YouTube really needs to fix their Content ID system. @TeamYouTube look at Thabeast’s Tweet. Nintendo owns the song, and they likely wouldn’t use a different company’s service to use Content ID. Why is this allowed?

@shinxcess That sad part is Nintendo knows that these people have the game and is getting there employers and their selves in a lot of trouble getting their employer find around 10k per copy played each copy is coded for the store that released it and the user will get baned from Nintendo.
