@harima_kenji I get what you mean but Nintendo Sony or MS is too big to fail right now to fail and become sega. Sega has been in trouble since Sega Saturn. So thats why they became 3rd party. I mean Xbox was almost sold during 2014 as phil said but they are still here, with their exclusives

@lortomo1 Playstation can go. As they are the most problematic for me as a all digital gaming customer. Ive had them kick me off the online part for them. Because they double charged me. Where neither Xbox or Nintendo has gave me any kinda issues of double charging me.

@AlloyAmi @PrinceKayEyeDee The problem is, Nintendo would kill the fanbase with their strict copyright stance on fan projects and music. Even if they could make a good game it probably wouldn’t be worth it

Does anyone have a problem with Nintendo switches? Because my Switch doesn't let me play games because of an error! I tried to go to eShop, but it's still not letting me in! I tried to go to "support Nintendo" on the internet, but it's also an error! WHAT'S GOING ON TODAY?! 😡😤

@DavidLarter Sir, thank you for your service. This is not a joke. This misinformation about our symbol of freedom is disturbing. This is why we have defenders that can’t bring down the ball carrier. Nintendo and praising other smaller buildings not the Statue of Liberty. Disgusting.

Hey @NintendoAmerica you're sending out emails where the support link is broken in two places. Either that or your entire support site is down. Either way, it's not a fun thing to do to your customers.

@Dr_Dan111 @func_sheep Most mod backups for Nintendo, if anything, are better taken care of. If there’s a mod taken down, I’ve never had an issue finding it again. When OF was taken down, I couldn’t find a single mirror.

@YaPappy2054557 @lortomo1 Idk about that, nintendo has single player exclusives on the same quality or even higher than Sony does, and I'm saying this as a playstation guy. They just don't get as much third-party support, which is an issue for most people.

@Puertorock77_ Yeesh. So majorly Playstation sidestepped this issue on digital? Nintendo thankfully is tied to physical majorly I guess

@JuneFlipArchive The error shown in the vid was the real error? God damn you Nintendo! You shut it down, AND JUST GIVE A GENERIC ******* ERROR???? No goodbye? None of that? Instead, "Nah **** you, too late, it's gone. Go home, buy our new console dumbass." Not. Very. Kind. At. All.

@Paisley_Ponders @YongYea The issues are with pretty much every single big publisher. Sony, Nintendo, Ubisoft, etc There are many reasons to not spend money on Diablo Immortal but unless you only play indie games, you are giving money to an evil corporation.

I really hate how Nintendo will gladly sell Arcade Classics separately, but refuses it do so for their older consoles, and they have to go through this awful subscription service Can I just buy Donkey Kong Country for $8 please.

@Flemberger11 The issue is not the physical disc. It's the Nintendo switch. It doesn't have a disk drive, it's only digital and it doesn't have any apps on it besides Hulu and YouTube

If Nintendo of Japan ever saw or heard any of the atrocious stuff from the CDi games based on their IPs, I'd be willing to bet they'd sue Philips (and the original creators of those horrid games) and issue strikes and bans to anyone who posts stuff from those god-awful games.

I'm wondering if that would be an issue with Nintendo though I don't actually think it would be though because I've seen comics based off of already existing characters tbh like Nintendo characters etc but its a valid question probably yeah

@NintendoAUNZ Love how Nintendo AUS has just broken every xenoblade fan at this point. Not even the constant memes are really vibing any more... Wish there was more communication on the status of how 3's collector's edition will be handled in AUS.
