Colt Buhr
(@AmbientVirus) reported
"Finally, Judge Marshall decided not to issue a permanent injunction against Storman. Nintendo failed to show that it suffered irreparable harm, and the fact that Storman already shut down the site shows that there’s no imminent threat of further infringements."

The SO has really gotten back into Mario Kart and now she understands the struggle of joy con drift. We're about to replace them now, but has Nintendo done anything to address it or is it still an issue in replacement joycons?

Into the Miiverse
(@Miiverse2012) reported
I think the reason why Miiverse hasn't returned is that Nintendo couldn't handle the sheer power of their own service.

@Ashleyscowcroft @Thecore55 @IGN Problem: Nintendo and PlayStation are both incredibly more anti-consumer than Xbox. Not saying Xbox isn't anti-consumer at all, but out of the three, they're definitely the ones that are at the least most pro-consumer

@Dinfire Many will say sales as the go to response as money is what makes the world spin, but I think Nintendo has had an issue finding the right developer, who is available and interested, to work on the IP. There was a period where Retro Studios was not available to work on MP4.

@NightMare_SSB And personally, I feel that Marth (And Lucina) get a majority of their kills off of juggling and edge guards instead of with confirms. I might just be bad though. Hope that Nintendo buys into this stupid narrative that Marth sucks and makes him completely broken with buffs.

So apparently the $500 PS5 has known issues with wifi. My Switch? Buttery smooth. Nintendo discovered internet last week and their console connects better. PS5 though? ******. Can't hardwire it without putting it in another room. So that's neat.

@MrDream923 Lol and I love racing against good players and I know that player was good it’s just a bad experience all round when the connection is crap. The money we give Nintendo you would think they would be able to fix this but no they don’t know how.

@archerjamee1 @JoshLee07182408 @PS5only It's no wonder we're still having problems finding Xboxes and Playstations. Even graphics cards! Such a shame such a shame.... I don't blame Nintendo for wanting to wait to launch the Nintendo Switch as Pro smh. 🤦🤦 #DontBuyFromScalpers

@claudiojourney @XcloudTimdog 10 million copies of console exclusive isn't almost a flop. Sony doesn't have that problem. That is 100% a MS problem. Sony and Nintendo are good both will sell 100M no problem.

@PaddedShells When I complain about the state of Gen 8 it's from a "wow the industry is real ******" not a "wahh wahh fix this daddy Nintendo" And I would argue the backlash, even if exhausting, is deserved, but maybe the reasoning behind it varies for myself at least

@NinEverything Now Nintendo can make those titles available on modern hardware so players don't have to pay a service somewhere else... Something tells me they won't...

I don't understand everyone's issue with the Nintendo Switch Online service. I just paid 20 dollars for a year months ago and I haven't worried since.

I love how Nintendo wants $20 a year for online play and yet does absolutely nothing to improve their servers or experience. This is the same company that uses the fear of loosing save data to get people to pay for online service… that’s so scummy.

@nanoseagull @pronewchaos @cdkeyscom_en So the o only issue with coingate is that you get nintendo gift cards, they are US only, so you need to go to the Nintendo website and change your location or it wont work. But I got, Digimon stories, Dragon quest XI, Ace Attorney trilogy, and some other stuff with $100

@JS20044 Yeah, to a certain extent, but when it gets in the way to much, it can hurt the original style the developer was going for. Take WWE 2K18 on Nintendo Switch. The game looked like a pixelated mess. While yes it has other issues, the resolution was a major factor in its failure

@mrdomino_ They are technically but its rare and a non issue. The switch problem is ridiculous. Any other company would be slaughtered. Nintendo can get away with inept **** like that.

@Pedro_Anonimo @AboutNintendo @NinEverything Well you charge a premium you're even more at risk for the problems and lawsuits that come with it. And that's not just a Nintendo thing, every company would be pissed if you were charging money for their games to be illegally downloaded
