Anyone have a good lead on where to get retro gaming magazines? Specifically PSM (U.S. PlayStation Magazine) issues? eBay seems to be a lot more barren for PSM than it is for Nintendo Power.

@My_Echo4 @NintendoAmerica The special edition preorders were also today, but Nintendo posted absolutely nothing about it today and only posted a vague reminder yesterday that it would happen today with no specific time. In addition, they've done nothing to fix the problems that happened the first time.

@brodyoby Mayflash is your best bet for 3rd party, I think it has an extra frame of lag compared to the stock Nintendo ones but it really doesn't matter in the grand scheme of things

it's funny how the Genesis additions to that Switch Online service are just consistently better than the actual Nintendo consoles

@ch1ckenbuttt @bllyray @NintendoAmerica Most likely bots. Looking at Twitter all day for most people the website was completely ****** and many did not get it. The out of stock for a while was a glitch as some people were able to bypass it and get it after that message showed up.

@crawling_nyarly The team said thwt xenoblade x would be very expensive to port. And according to rumors and stuff they apparently wanted too but nintendo had them focus on new xenoblade games. It might be for the best for now. XCX has a lot of issue that a port wouldn't address.

You want the truth, here a funny story. I borrow my dad computer just to log in my Nintendo account because my phone got issue. After a long waiting room, I was about to purchase it, but my bank account somehow got problem with Nintendo for unknown reason. 1/3

@pasta_wheat There have been a few Nintendo consoles that have struggled, but those have maintained their market solely on the appeal of their own titles. That is how strong Nintendo's titles are, and I doubt they would go to the trouble of paying Valve a 30% fee to give up that advantage.

@NintendoAmerica Welp, I didn't get one because I decided I'd rather not sit on their forever loading website just to get bamboozled again like last time and I'm glad I didn't because they didn't fix anything. The positive at least is I could actually play the game now day one instead of waiting

@SquillCoolGuy It's weird but Nintendo has messed up the pre order website for the special edition for literal hours and ig ppl were trying to remind them to fix it but I don't think that message got that well across

If you managed to pre-order one, make sure you got an email from Nintendo confirming the purchase. Might take a few hours. The storefront errors have kicked some people out while they're in their cart, or purchasing, without them realizing it.

@NintendoAmerica Please fix your servers. I was in line and waiting to get a special edition of xenoblade 3 for SEVEN hours before I was let in and it had sold out.:(

@NintendoAmerica I get that it’s being done to try and combat scalpers/resellers, but it’s beyond disheartening that I’ve been able to get every single Xenoblade special edition so far through either Amazon or GameStop with no trouble until now.

@NintendoAmerica Twice. That's twice I've been kicked off the line. Worst yet I was blocked from making my payment like three times. Now it's all sold out. You guys have a broken online store service.

@koyoriin Nintendo’s website couldn’t handle it the last batch and they did nothing to fix it this time either. Leading to another mess. I had it in my cart and even checked out once but it ended up not going through. It’s pretty unacceptable tbh.
