If Goldeneye really comes out on Nintendo Switch I’m gonna give my son all sorts of problems in that game. Might as well go buy another set of controllers cuz he gonna throw a fit I can see it now.

@Dingerfish @Crimson_Mayhem_ At least he points out that the "release it now, fix it later" method that Nintendo does isn't always a good method, especially for the sports games!

@Roasted_Phoenix @NintendoEurope Well, the Nintendo Online Service will eventually cease but you can keep that cart forever.

🐭May need to get another New Nintendo 3DS or get repairs if I can. The 3D seems a little borked, and it might be because of camera issues. *Wiggl.*

@RareLtd @XboxGamePass I was really, REALLY excited for this... but then you refused to do online multiplayer for what is literally the biggest multiplayer service on the planet... and instead kept the online multiplayer to Nintendo Switch, which has the WORSE online multiplayer on the planet...

@CStallion619 @TheKrustyKoopa @NintendoAmerica That's my big issue with digital downloads right there. I don't hate that format it's just my issue is feeling like its nothing more than a long term rental and not a product i own from dosh i worked for. I'm of the old school thought of games on physical media anytime you want.

So let me understand this... Advance Wars was delayed by Nintendo due to the Ukraine war, and has no release date announced to my knowledge... Fire emblem (a game also about war) releases with no issue, no statement no delay.

@Boxenberger @Rand_al_Thor_19 @Wandering_Dutch Why do think Xbox consistently has a 1st party issue? I mean Sony and Nintendo doesn’t struggle to get games released so why is it only Xbox?

The 3DS and Wii U shop is shuts down in two months, hundreds of 3DS/Wii U exclusive games will be lost to time and unless Nintendo decides to release their Gameboy/GBC era games on their ****** online service, they’ll be largely inaccessible to most gamers outside of emulation.

@MrSnow_615 Shift games from left to right, pull them out just a bit so they'd hit front panel when pushing down, blowing on the cartridge's, blowing inside the Nintendo itself, plugging into the game genie and flipping it on and off a dozen times so it wouldn't glitch out.

@GamewithDave I never gave much luck with Nintendo controllers. The N64 was my first experience of having a broken controller, then the Wii, and finally the Switch. Never had an issue with Sega, Xbox, or Playstation.

@Victor_Arcos423 @NeeveeWasTaken Man must be weird for Nintendo living in your head rent free. Complaining about there so called on line lag while you won't do anything about your crappy internet. Oh if you using WI FI that's your lag.....

@TediousThrone I see where you're coming from, but a big issue is that YouTube isn't retroactive in correcting those takedowns when they're made falsely. Nintendo abuses the system, but YouTube allows them to do it.

@RealYoshiller @NintendoAmerica @UbisoftSupport I had an issue like this and it requires a Ubisoft account. At least for local play it’s that.

Being a petty bastard as he is, KDJ decided to put an advertisement online without YJH knowing to sell the Nintendo Switch. Problem is how to sell it without YJH realized it being sold? No matter what, KDJ is always weak if it's about YJH.

@BombosMedallion @defmedia85 I think that’s the main issue I see with GCN NSO. The games have too much value for a $50 service. So maybe Nintendo gets emboldened and tries a PS Extra/premium type thing.

@ChitoGaminYT @RareLtd @XboxGamePass The xbox network doesn't have the net code that makes games belive online sessions are running as a local coop game. Nintendo switch online does and Nintendo does this with every game that has coop that's apart of their online service

My review for the Dead Space Remake will be up FRIDAY then want to check out Goldeneye 007 on both Xbox and Nintendo Switch as a Saturday video. Heads up, getting the first of my broken teeth removed next week so there MIGHT be small delays on some videos in Feb as I heal!

@NintendoAmerica They need to sell this as a standalone nobody likes the expansion pack of the **** online service

@NintendoAmerica How about selling the game for the same price as the Turok games are on the eshop? Sorry but I am not re-subscribing to drip feed NSO expansion rental service for a few games I barely play. Would rather own it, to complete at least a digital collection.

@NintendoAmerica I’m sorry to say but you guys need to release more games from classic consoles more often. We pay for the service but dealing with wait times isn’t what we are paying for. Just saying. Take that to upper management

@HossSauced it "kinda" makes sense, as alot of their networking is probably tied to Nintendo servers because the build came from the retro console service thing It sucks and maybe they add some eventually but still
