@2Triforces The change won't happen for a decade, at least. The games as a service model kicked off with Microsoft. It has proven fruitful for them. Nintendo went into the retro market with their service. It may change, but that's only after a royalty situation happens.

@puggloaf When I spoke to a Nintendo rep they told me if you are not using a Nintendo licensed SD card they all won't read/write at the speed that some bigger games need, like ac and Minecraft both have this issue, so you try just move it to your system memory and see if that helps 🥰

@Diablo Playing my non-ladder Summon Druid all excited about the new 2.6 Patch going live. First terror zone was in Catacombs and Andariel dropped me a unique Spiderweb Sash. Woot! But ever since mostly error messages with game drops. Arreat Plateau now. PC issue or Nintendo Switch bug?

And that bc they don’t do that in 100+ more main titles than the rpg games, it’s not a Nintendo problem and it’s a Hollywood problem??? What are you even tryna argue??????

@MldGhost @OrigiGreatness Both services are great..but PS Plus and even Nintendo Online offer experiences GP just doesn't offer right now. That's why I own all 3 because if I just had GP...it wouldn't be enough there's so many gaming experiences better than what's on that service right now

I need to buy a new GameCube or get mine refurbished, whichever is cheaper. My old one won't play any games anymore I just get an error message. It would be so much easier if #nintendo would just start selling backwards compatible games. I would 100% buy most titles a second time

@TxukasaVersus @torgojones @VGC_News I own the system as well, have never had trouble in either mode. although i spend more time in tv mode. had spent 200 some hours in botw, and not a single issue. Anyways the world keeps moving forward. and when nintendo does a new switch every future game will be 70 bucks.

@FudoFinalform Never played 2 but 1 was the 1st rpg I ever played. My friend got it for Christmas from a recommendation his mom received from a guy at a game store. I remember we used a guide from an issue of Nintendo Power to help us through it.

@NintendoAmerica @NintedoSupport my OLED switch that was purchased for Christmas, so less than 120 days ago, is not functioning. Seems like there is a known issue with the charging port. Please help find a resolution!

@LuigiBlood It's a particularly big problem for N64 like you say, and it's something Nintendo NEEDS to get better about in general! Almost NONE of their 1st party games have button remapping options and that's just absurd considering how much it improves accesibility and player comfort.

@Nayib_Cardenas @TheHorizonsCall Nintendo created the burden of more expensive games. Sony kept the prices low when they arrived into gaming. Lol learn your history. The current issue is game prices are meeting industry production costs for aaa titles.

@NintendoAmerica if emulation is such a big problem, give us official tools to play those games without an external emulator

@NintendoAmerica Nintendo why do you have to make us pay for not losing our progress I lost all my progress because it froze and I had to close it and you make us pay to fix that problem not just have it as a thing that we have without having to waste money so we don't lose progress?

All Apply hardware should be as easy to service as the Nintendo Switch JoyCons. Fixed some drifting JoyCons with a AKNES Gulikit Switch Joystick Replacement kit and it couldn't be easier.

@ArtofNP I'm pretty sure both of these are used in the 1st issue of Nintendo Power for SMB2? I might be misremembering but I swear I recognize them?

@dysphoria_chan Good Nintendo: excellent Gameboy emulation with their base subscription service. Not perfect, but worth my money. Bad Nintendo: broken laggy N64 emulation on an extra subscription on top of their existing subscription service.

Is anyone else playing #PokemonScarletViolet having trouble with it crashing? Mine keeps crashing after I win the Star Raids. I’ve never had any Nintendo game crash before

@antdude92 I doubt Nintendo is going to add anything from the Game Boy Advance Video library to the Nintendo Switch Online service, but I'd be lying if I said that wouldn't be cool. In fact, I'd be all for it if they actually did that.

@DisneyDLV I have a glitch on the Nintendo switch version that makes villagers with the mining skill sometimes get stuck while trying to throw something from a mining rock. They just twitch back and forth in one spot unless I end the hang out or travel through a wishing well.

@RiseFallNickBck A Nintendo Switch version would be nice, but the system can't handle rollback netcode. Its why Smash didn't have rollback. So if a port for the Switch is a thing, then its going to have a lot of technical issues

@unableduser Depends on the controller. I can't do the PS4 controller for very long but have no problem with the Nintendo switch pro controller

(@JonDArsen) reported
@WarCriminalElmo I guess it depends on the target market. I think Nintendo has accepted that no matter how good Metroid might be, it's best chances are honing in on its prebuilt fan base. But I do think that's always been a problem with it's marketing.

@rshandle @DavidRC87 @RaveofRavendale Which exposes why MS's own lawyers are inept in the court case, because they have tried hiding the fact MS does timed exclusives (or service exclusive perks) the way Sony does and even Nintendo.
