  Thinking about the fact that I joined a friend's's Nintendo Switch Online family plan around the launch of the online service, and then ended up actually living in the same apartment with that person two years later.

  @ghidraninja Pretty sure @MODDED_WARFARE also had problems regarding Modifying the Nintendo Switch. They took down most videos IIRC.

  @NintendoUK Unfortunately I might have to pay an extra shipping fee because I’m from the United States but that’s tempting to buy. I need a new Switch anyway since the wireless is starting to go out it seems. The Switch having the problem I got on March 3, 2017.

  @eaphen @vicious696 Right and Sony got exclusive rights to Spider-Man for two games now and dlc for avengers. Marvel ultimate alliance 3 Nintendo exclusive Disney has no issue signing up their IPs for exclusive deals.

  @Naitor_5 The Wii U was awesome and not a bad console at all. Nintendo just didn't have the catalog of games needed for a good release or first year which caused it so much trouble. That's why so many Wii U games are being remade for the Switch they were really good.

  @SEGAwhisperer @sonic20th @SegaAmusements I'd go up to Nintendo in the 1990s and tell them to take Sony up on their CD drive deal. ...it would have saved us a lot of trouble in the long run.

  @Heckaman20 @bil0batefall708 @NintendoAmerica That legitimately sounds like something that could actually be pulled off as a game and also tackle and give perspective into real-world issues without completely beating people over the head with it.

  @Drac_Mazoku Yeah, Nintendo could have produced both. Some ppl may prefer a blue dock / Switch. Problem is probably manufacturing costs for both ;)

  @robsterinside @beardfear You'd be crazy to NOT homebrew your 3DS these days. If it bricks you can probably fix it with godmode9 where as Nintendo will eventually stop servicing 3DSes

  @NintendoAmerica I don't like that Bowser has "lost all control". That means he has some serious issues that need to be discussed, maybe Bowser Jr should visit relatives for a week or two. Bowser needs help. I think he needs to have an intervention.

  @theWellRedMage Shame on him... like Nintendo cares if he shattered the pad. Man, I cringe at maliciously broken tech.

  @WBGamesSupport Nintendo Switch players are having an impossible time connecting matches on Kombat League. This has been going on for at least two months now. Do a search of Switch KL issues and you'll see plenty of folks experiencing this issue #kombatleague #KLswitch #mk11

  @NintendoAmerica I won't use your service or product as long as it's advertised on #BigTech platforms that censors American people. #BigTechCensorship #DrainTheBigTech

  One way Nintendo could kill two birds with one stone regarding the eshop is making their own version of Gamepass, the Switch eshop has so much buried treasure hidden away within it, it's a complete waste not to at least have a service available to push those titles.

  @badvgtakes Idk why no one takes issue to the fact that Nintendo spoiled the final boss fight of Bowsers Fury

  @AhabsArtwork "Grrr Nin10do is so evil down with them grrrr". Why is is everytime Nintendo ***** up fans are expected to just abandon the company entirely? I doubt this story is even entirely true. Calm down son. At least they don't release broken games.

  The weirdest thing about the Switch's success is that Nintendo took a good long hard look at the Wii U and decided they could fix it.

  @dream_captured @NintendoUK Oh I've heard about that happening to people before, less common but it happens. I had an issue with my 3DS XL where the battery was loose, so it wouldn't be able to hold charge. I miss the days of the DS light, that could tank pretty much anything.

  @ozionian @NintendoAmerica Simple Break the rules and get in trouble for it Chances are the rules of the contest mention inappropriate names will be punished accordingly Then you act surprised when you get in trouble Read before you sign something

  @Rynden @superguitarbros It hit that Nintendo sequel issue, where it felt like they didn't want to just rehash the previous formula but still weren't sure where to take things. At least they tried to do something different :)

  And that's just Nintendo! Don't get me started on PS4/Sony issues :)

  @CitifiedDruid Also yeah, no reason for Galaxy 2 to not be in 3DAS lol. I have no idea as to why Nintendo seems so insistent on ignoring that game, especially since its the best 3D Mario game imo. I have other problems with 3DAS but I'm sure you'd rather not hear someone else rant about it lol

  @NintendoAmerica And it'll still have the same drifting issue from 2017

  @jultar1000 @NintendoAmerica good lord it's like talking to a brick wall. People are taking issue with Nintendo's actions. They're calling them on it. Even if the emulation wasn't legal, their is a difference between legality and morality that makes the choice even worse.
