@CaffeinatedBolt @SerebiiNet Someone said that was probably nintendo’s goal – get a last round of few people to pay for the service before it became free. I know there was a bug as some people were able to download it without paying and some others didn’t, just seems like the company didn’t care enough tbh

@FourHorsesGames Heard Nintendo extended the download code use period to 4th of April. Was gonna try it out, but the website gives you a 404 error.

@stopmrdomino This is a major disappointment! Mighty No. 9 deserved to be on the 3DS and now it's cancelled because of manufacturing issues? Nintendo needs to step up their game! #MightyNo9 #Nintendo3DS Check my pin tweet bro

@MasterCWelch @johnblueriggs Exactly. It was a good formula. Apparently Nintendo haven’t heard of “if it’s not broken, don’t fix it”. They lost me as a Zelda fan.

@ReforgeGaming @MldGhost @TheLastRonin714 The FTC and Sony omit Nintendo, and a lot of fanboys back it up at the time, when it was an advantage to Sony. Now it’s a problem. Please explain why when it’s about Microsoft Nintendo doesn’t count, but when it’s about Sony’s market share Nintendo matters.

@ultimablackmage @TechnoKoi @Stealth40k Then why are you here complaining? Your problem isn't with Nintendo, your problem is that YOU have lost your love for games! That's totally fine, but it's not anyone's fault!

@ReforgeGaming @MldGhost @TheLastRonin714 Okay, but the problem I have pertaining to this is the fact that when it was strictly focus on Microsoft, the size of Nintendo didn’t matter, now since the tide has turn to focus on Sony anti competitive ways Nintendo is being brought up to the forefront.

I think I'm broken because I found BotW to be incredibly boring...and the new game looks mostly the same But yep I will be giving Nintendo money

On both the Nintendo and IGN channels the Zelda footage from today looked grim We know this engine looks nice. It definitely feels like a render error. Is there a better quality version knocking about?

@RobinPoedev Eh, I'll say it. I can't copy on the Wii shop 'cuz I didn't own one. The 3DS shop I liked the idea of, but found it hard to navigate and actually buy things. UI/UX issues. It's sad they're gone, but Nintendo could really stand to figure it out more.

Dumb theory/ mini rant , but I just hope nintendo sticks to old tech so I dont have to do a ton of streaming bullshit next generation. Most everyone is begging for a service that just gives you a controller , streaming and a pat on the head.

@JerBer1218 It’s not new to the Zelda one, but it is new with Switch - pretty sure 3DS limited edition consoles cost the same as regular. Could be a cost issue with supply chain, could be just Nintendo wanting more money, who knows. It’s annoying but not a dealbreaker when it’s already $350.

Oh and to add, Nintendo got in a lot of trouble for doing this back in the NES and early Genesis days. They had a clause that said if a game was made for Nintendo, that same game could not be ported to another console. Then being by far the market leader, devs had no choice..

Due to some battery issues regarding my New Nintendo 3DS XL, it can’t stay without its charger for less than 5 minutes. It basically became a small Video Game Home Console.

The Surface Tension from Link hitting the water after falling from such a distance would have broken bones. I imagine Aonuma and Nintendo's devs have a magic/tech explanation for why that doesn't apply to Tears of The Kingdom

@johnblueriggs I have no way to play twilight unless it is on switch. My biggest issue is paying full price for a game that old lol but I should know that's the nintendo way lol been that way since the 80s

@ItsKaceyTime it's important to support small businesses like nintendo in their time of need like when they shut down their own service by choice

@king_goomba @NintendoAmerica @PlayStation probably biggest issue would be is getting something like all community levels from ps4 to switch. Also could be cool if somehow they could just bundle one game with all LBP 1-3 story levels (perhaps psp and vita levels as well)

I’ll never forget an experience I had four years ago where I called my bank customer service to verify a purchase, and the guy noticed I was making a Nintendo purchase. He asked if I played Smash, and asked me who I main. He even lightheartedly said “I bet I could beat you”.

@DDubgaming @Fangal_Airbag @NintendoAmerica And I am hoping to change my mind. I’m not planning to buy it on release, and I don’t have a problem with other people doing so. I’m gonna wait for reviews and such And yeah I try to be civil when I can

@GameOvRMan @EpictroyTroy @DMC_Ryan No it's not an issue, especially when in the case of MS/Activision, they've agreed to keep the games multiplat, publish COD on Nintendo again and even made deals with Nvidia and Boosteroid. On top of that, we'll get them in Game Pass, and day one after Sony's contract expires.

Look, I'm excited for TotK as much as the next guy and will be blindly part of the problem that encourages Nintendo to charge $70 for games, but the game looks like DLC by taking place in the same Hyrule. New story, enemies, areas & abilities are common DLC things, lol.

@tennozu_ @So_Ethereal The biggest issue will be the size. But we know Nintendo and them can get it down to a 16gb card

@drew_sk33 @NintendoAmerica I highly doubt it. It would make sense from how this seems to take place not long after BOTW, but the Master Sword seems too op for early game. It is when you do the BOTW glitch to get it early. What I'm hoping is that the Master CYCLE is available in the base game this time

@MrRiceGuy2 @aaalvarojg @GifZelda I really ****** up with my wording, sorry about that, didn't mean to be so rude, honestly I don't think the price increase is justified, specially for a game running on the Nintendo Switch, but I just don't see the problem on the sequel being just an improvement on the last one

@cccc22535155725 @NintendoAmerica It’s not graphics, its performance. No amount of style or gameplay can fix a poorly performing game.
