Straight white male privilege is screaming at Nintendo about the company not having opened up a potential avenue of harassment as the company reaches out to non white male straights about how they can improve service.

@Cecil_234 Could be the mandella effect, unless you had the specific Nintendo Power issue this was shown in. Otherwise I'd be extremely curious on what your copy of TP is.

@DeppMarlo @IruzzArcana @AnimeGamer4567 Yeah no, it’s a manufacturer problem. It’s not just Nintendo. All three console makers get their sticks from the same factory and all three of them have drift problems with their controllers. They’re just cheaper quality sticks. No conspiracy theories plz.

@LeitungEvolved Motion controls aren't inherently evil it's that some companies like Nintendo insist that this is the only way you can play a game and some games have suffered because of bad ideas being implemented like the main issue Starfox Zero was received poorly was because of them.

@agentbizzle The problem, just like Nintendo, is when Sony said they believe in gen’ and to move forward, a vociferous minority let them know that this is okay, plus low legacy sales because there is no new HW to play those old games on tells them they are right, even though they are not

@TheDuperghoul Crash has a multitude of games on Nintendo platforms. When has Halo ever been associated with Nintendo in any way shape or form?

@mudron I feel like Nintendo obviated that problem by making it incredibly unwieldy to play online with anyone you don't know personally

@sociallynomadic @Under_Ach1ever Yeah that's what I mean, the games under perform due to HW, and the choice/support just isn't there as per usual for Nintendo. The reason to own one is to have the exclusives, and to have those be portable. XB and PS don't have the HW limitations or 3rd support issues.

If I recall correctly MonHon Rise is running on Nintendo's new internet stuff and honestly feels good. Load into maps quick. No disconnection issues. Hope they bring it to other online games

@Zankoku Wowww. Seems like keeping the visual appeal of the game is coming at a cost. Do you think there's any possible solutions to this that Nintendo can actually manage? The only fix I can see right now is just playing on PC since you can't change graphics settings on the Switch

@ssbu69 @SourWatermel0n @NintendoUK How did scalpers get them when they've not been restocked yet? They released them in error yes, those might be the eBay ones. They took the whilst product down until today, now you can find them again

@TimSweeneyEpic i doubt you'll see this but here goes nothin i guess. The latest update for Nintendo switch has broken the skins and the graphics of the game. The motion blur is terrible and certain skins don't glow anymore an example is isabella.

@FortniteStatus @TaborTimeYT Instead maybe fix the loading screen glitch that happens every 3 games all the time on Ps4 Xbox and Nintendo!

@LetsAllPlay1 @NintendoAmerica Thanks for the response. They each own the games and have a code to put the item in the cart to check out but they are always denied a purchase. We believe it is a payment issue but after many attempts they are just shut out no matter the payment used Support sadly wasn't helpful

Crash 4 should've been on Switch to begin with. Anybody could've told you that the Nintendo audience would be incredibly receptive to that game lol

I have top secret info on the next Nintendo Direct! There's a new game called Super Woah Crash Adventures, as well as a new console called the Nintendo bagel! Hype!!!

The only way to transfer these is to have your user on both, and use the in-game transfer options to transfer saves. Gucci right? Well during start up the console tells you that having your Nintendo ID linked to both consoles can cause issues with titles.

watching did you know gamings joy-con drift video makes me so mad lmao it could’ve been such an quick fix for nintendo if they had dealt with it at the time of release

@TheJediSonic @IruzzArcana @AnimeGamer4567 2/2: Also, Nintendo has apparently done some software updates trying to fix drift already, with varying results. Not an easy problem to fix apparently, unfortunately. The joycons are extremely shallow joysticks, which forced them to try a brand-new design. Had some trouble! ):

@Hobo59357013 @FlompMcDomp I got my switch in October of 2017 and started drifting in 2019 and I got them fixed for free on the Nintendo program, never had an issue since.
