✨Tw: ED✨ Think my issues stemmed from wii fit telling me I was obese at 10 years old xoxo thanks @NintendoUK

@ingle_neil By sending it away and not having it for weeks, all while Nintendo denies that it is a common issue? Doesn't sound like a great system to me.

@DemeechYT @loogi_07 The Wii was definitely one of Nintendo’s best consoles but it did have a shovelware problem, though it’s actually a pretty similar shovelware problem to what the Switch has now.

@legorgeousgoon @brainwashedjoe @hasanthehun That's the thing that has always baffled me, even used BOTW in my country sells for around $40 (original price is about $55). The problem is people buy used nintendo games at high prices. If no one bought it at $50 used, no one would sell it at $50 used.

@eriktuf The problem isn't Nintendo giving people more games, The problem is they're charging $30 for a free mobile game. If it was free, nobody would complain.

Thank you so much Nintendo I was trying to have fun with my friend @ZombiEGotLost and then boom, lag and on top of that my joycons just refused to let me do what I wanted to do

Anyone else having issue with the switch and trying to purchase games, tried multiple cards now and get the same error: 9001-2470 Never had issues before today. #Nintendo #nintendoswitch #estore @NintendoUK

The only issue I have with StarTropics in retrospect is that it suffers a bit from "Nintendo Hard" syndrome but it's not all that bad for the most part.

@NintendoAmerica Can you add gameboy and gameboy advance pokemon games to the store or the online service please, I want them on my switch.

@maybedontdotha1 @ChristmasRiver But why do we need it? Representation is important but honestly pokemon shouldn't have this problem because nintendo actually has been good about representation.

@AndreaPichinini The problem is Microsoft need to do that Sony and Nintendo don't

save me from FFXIV crafting hell.
(@medlli) reported
wish Nintendo would make their music more accessible like putting them on a more universal streaming service I don't own an iPhone anymore so the fact that some games have purchasable soundtracks in the Apple Store is meaningless to me

(@NewFranKK) reported
@LiquidGoth It’s mostly a joke on my part I wouldn’t care if he’s in the game or not more so people view him as a gaming icon over other characters it’s more the issue with nintendo fans living in a bubble because I used to be like that

I'm not expecting a response but i thought i'd ask anyways, @OfficialPixARK will there ever be a patch to fix the Nintendo switch port? You guy's have a fantastic game here on a great platform, but the Crashes hurt the game so much! Thank you for your time!

Sony is having tons of issues, and they don't learn because they have the media and ponies licking their boots. I give Nintendo fans credit, they will hold Nintendo's feet to the fire.

@MaxiCastellini @SciresM @Kaphotics Then it’s the exact same problem you’d have in older games. If you don’t want to pay for Nintendo online which is 5 bucks and most people have for other games, you can do a local trade like you had to do in ye olden days.

(@SauceTl) reported
@dawkosgames @JonnyBlox @SteelWoolStudio It’s a big problem I see in the Nintendo community. They have expectations for a game that isn’t even confirmed to exist and then get upset that they didn’t show it. It is a bad precedent.

@Cedar51015653 @AstralHelios_ @NintendoAmerica Yeah I don’t have an issue with it being on the switch but $30 is absolutely insane.

@_ConorMcDonald_ Nintendo does free repairs for drift issues. Send those suckers in! I’m up to 6 different sets of joycons sent and repaired.

@NintendoUK - i was trying to buy zelda amiibo like the OoT link but they’re all gone from the store now - can we no longer buy them or is this just a website issue?

@OrangeAndInsane yeah but I mean, I've been sending my joy con to repairs regularly for free so... I think that might just be nintendo's answer "we're happy to fix this"

@ChrisKewlTV @collingall At least use the Gameboy Player Interface homebrew and not the Nintendo disc! Less lag, especially in the speed running version.

The reason these emotes got disabled was due to a glitch going around where you could become almost entirely invisible. I only saw reports of this happening on the Nintendo Switch however I assume it happened on other devices as well.

@reggie_800 Nintendo has been ignoring this common issue for over 4 years at this point...this isn’t going to go anywhere.

@reggie_800 @didyouknowgamin I feel lucky not having this with any of our 4 controllers, since so many seem to suffer from it. Nintendo shouldnt be so idle with such a big problem
