@Melofluff And yet, people will still find something to complain about because Nintendo is apparently the only one capable of fault. Not enough people are talking about the Cyberpunk issue and I find that really ironic.

@teddieflask @Nieveria22 @NintendoAmerica Mainly because some have suffered a net loss, often having no choice but to keep it full price online, even when we don’t like it It’s an issue with the new concept of the switch itself, the actual technical issues But games that have had made a net gain have often-

@larsiusprime Nintendo knows how to keep a handheld line active with periodic hardware refreshes, but wary of fragmenting install base either by compat or branding issues.

@PKSparkxx It’s not a different situation, really. I just find it ironic special edition releases are only bad when Nintendo does it. It’s not really an issue worth making a big fuss about. In fact, there’s a comment at the end of that article that says something to that effect.

@springtimebon @a_person7664 @SavedYouAClickV It's annoying, yes, but it's not a problem or a catch with Among Us. It's just how Nintendo operates because of capitalism. Free games make Nintendo more money if they don't require subscriptions. Paid games make more money for Nintendo when they do.

@PSIMax1 @KalosXYZ @NintendoAmerica I mean I'm gonna be pirating **** that there's no way to play now, no use in waiting around for them to rerelease it on their shitty online service at a snail's pace over the next 6 years

@VCosmoz It would absolutely solve a lot of problems, so it would be a nice move, I guess! Not sure if they'd implement rollback tho I still think that people would be mad, since it's very clear that Nintendo do not want to support the competitive scene unless it's beneficial to them

@_Salvige_ @NintendoAmerica You know you can get replacement sticks on Amazon real cheap, and there easy to fix. I've repaired them myself and I'm not the best with fixing stuff either.

@teddieflask @NintendoAmerica So they should: A) Keep it on the eshop B) Only release the limited edition and keep the game on the online service at launch

(@PSIMax1) reported
@teddieflask @Nieveria22 @NintendoAmerica I don’t like it that Wii U ports are 60 dollars, but that’s one of the biggest downsides of the switch, the carts are expensive to develop on, and some companies have lost money developing physical games on switch. It’s an issue I hope gets improved in the future, but I don’t-

@teddieflask @KalosXYZ @NintendoAmerica Because it’s within their legal and artistic right. This isn’t a new concept Marsh. Most major copyright holders take issue with this. If it happens it happens and you missed your opportunity if it gets taken down.

@lllMaddy What's the problem with nintendo online? It's very cheap (like 5 dollards per year if you are in a family group). Also mhrise will use capcom servor not nintendo ones.

@thatsnomoonSSB @PK_Saltstorm @NintendoAmerica I'm so confused as to what you are even trying to say "The translation is paid and not part of the paid service because the paid service is paid" my brain is crumbling

@NintendoAmerica I'm considering getting back to Smash after nabbing Steve and Sephiroth... but I've beaten or stopped playing most of the games on my Switch so I haven't been playing that lately. Looking to get "60 Dollar Emulated All Stars" cuz I'm part of the problem

@camcard31 @BeauPadgett0218 @HotGirlVideos69 The problem is not the cost, the problem is you cannot purchase and own these games. You must keep paying to access them, in classic Nintendo fashion, they either want you on a payment leash, or want you to purchase a copy from a retro store for 500%x's retail value

@FortniteStatus I was facing an issue on Nintendo switch 2 nights ago. Playing squads fill, checking map for drop after the bus launches, when selecting a point on the map, a white screen popped up and the whole console froze. Happened twice in a row.

@NintendoUK I’ve been on hold for 15 minutes and you just hung up on me? Is this customer service?

@thatsnomoonSSB @PK_Saltstorm @NintendoAmerica So what you're saying is basically that Nintendo doesn't want to make the online service actually worth it and won't put anything original that took work onto it OK, so basically nothing that I didn't already know. Aight
