I’m wondering how Scott the Woz episodes are gonna play on TV when he mostly talks about Nintendo games. How will he avoid copyright issues?

People who support Nintendo with their Switch OLED for $350 are part of the problem.

@NianticHelp Who do I need to contact about Pokémon Go not accepting my Nintendo Account Login? I changed my password and now Go says I’m unable to login with it.

@stopskeletons and super metroid is on every nintendo system of the last 15 years and has never cost more than $10 in that time, including the current massively successful one where it's included for free with a subscription service that costs... $20

A style of design that's always been daunting to me, because I try to come up with something that's absolutely bulletproof, turns out, the actual popular stuff, some of it from Nintendo themselves, have state bugs and clipping issues in edge cases too.

OLED saga, Day 2: left it to work overnight, it only downloaded 6 games, mainly because they were huge. I’ve continued to redownload all day, but still have 39 games left, mostly large ones I’ve avoided. So….maybe I’ll play Dread on Monday? Fix this next time, @NintendoAmerica

Though late to say it: the emulated port of Ocarina of Time & Majora's Mask happened after all. It's not something like Super Mario 3D All Stars as I originally thought it would be, but the games arriving on the Nintendo Switch Online Service will suffice.

@nintendo hey the only reason the is hard is because there is no window for error and the timing seems to be randomized every time with my last 3 attempts being almost immediate on the attack and the 3 before that being very delayed or partially delayed on the E.M.M.I.

@IGN Does this mean third party screen protectors is stacking on the present protective screen? Cause the first party Nintendo Switch OLED case comes with a screen protector? Kinda weird issue with screen protectors...

@DoesItPlay1 Switch is so close to working perfectly offline. One flaw I just became aware of is that some games require a linked Nintendo Account, which could be problem in future. Bloodstained:RotN physical cartridge, for example, requires linked Nintendo Account. Blargh.

@jkohlmann I know they were first but I wish Nintendo would take the L and follow suit. PlayStation is different enough altogether that it’s not really an issue

@holtoning @TimMEsports @jasonschreier Just because things don't appeal to you it doesn't mean they don't appeal to anyone else. It seems more like a problem you have with Nintendo than anything else.

I bet if we all put our minds together we can win this round of @Activision giving the Crash & Spyro IP to at the most @NintendoAmerica that way Crash & Spyro will have more opportunities like merch, crossovers like with Kirby, Mario, and maybe even more games #freethebandicoot

My biggest issue with Metroid Dread is how there is exactly one (1) option: Brightness But sadly this isn't an issue exclusive to Dread. Nintendo hates giving players options. How dare you customize aspects of the game. Just Dread made me notice it again.

And needless to say, the Smash community is full of pro players actively trying to cancel people they don't like, full of casual/low level players causing constant issues online and events, and a bunch of mid level fans trying to constantly demonize Nintendo for getting involved.

@not8_bit @VG247 yea i felt like i wasted money on sword... and i'm not going to do the same error anymore x_x" why such a good franchise is made by such incompetent selfish greedy people/company... (and i don't mean nintendo, but i'm sure they're also part of the problem)

@Lewis_Medeiros @D_nasty02 @Kotaku That's not called pirating, that's called dumping your own switch files. Pirating is when you download and share copywritten material. And I think Nintendo has done a good job at mitigating this problem

@badvgtakes They would pick Sora over Crash They did Nintendo and Sony are rivals, they've been rivals since the 90's

@Thatgreyfox @geno_td I’m perfectly fine with paying for emulated versions of games. But Nintendo’s online service has been subpar already. We were just drop fed these roms and as soon as they add any more variety, they charge extra. It’s a scummy practice imo.

@ao absolutely disgraceful service today. We waited in all day for my child's new nintendo switch to turn up and your driver couldn't couldn't bothered to answer and all you do is give a timescale of 7-7 online. Clearly been stolen. Can your company tell me where our switch is?

@Aaronitmar There is a Giant Crash Bandicoot shaped hole in my heart, but i love the DLC, i didn't like hero's implementation and i don't like Pyra, Min Min or Byleth because they are shill picks from Nintendo (to, to be fair i belive we all hate Corrine, nor Byleth) but overall, 100/10

@buttercupirl SNL was able to use mario party music without any problem with nintendo, so i guess it falls under fair use (or is gonna be in a TV channel that got the rights to use nintendo music, like G4)

@NintendoAmerica people i suggest you don’t buy the borderlands bundle the games wont play even if you re download and scan for software errors it still wont download and nintendo wont refund. I PAYED FOR A GAME I CANT PLAY.

@Corronchilejano @TimMEsports @jasonschreier I don’t have an issue with Nintendo at all. In fact I genuinely rate them from a business standpoint. If I could make complete garbage and sell it to millions of people at full price 5 years later I’d do the same. The community however is no different to the sports gamers

This isn't a issue levied at the dev's or Nintendo; game is amazing. I'm just upset my arms still messed up from the accident and the game I love causes pain

honestly if nintendo just made an official android port for the switch i think that could head off a lot of the issues that they have with console hackers. it would take away a lot of people's reason to try to hack the switch firmware
