@DisneyDLV With this update, the Xbox version has crashed more times than before the update. Please fix the bugs for Xbox too, not just PS and Nintendo.

i think the issue with nintendo making movies is that they want major A-list actors to play their characters. it’s like they don’t believe their franchises are enticing enough to draw audiences, so they get chris pratt instead of trying to make an actually good movie

@NintendoAmerica Please update the NSO N64 app so that there's no button input lag, and no frame rate drops, please.

@DisneyDLV Nintendo Switch has more problems now than before. Constantly being booted off the game. Booted offline so I can't partake in the new Star Path. It's been a very frustrating day...

@_sesart_ I lacked access to reference material as a kid. Couldn't afford comics, and no libraries nearby. So like 99% of my refs were the instruction guides that came with my friends' video game carts, or their issues of Nintendo Power. For better or worse, it shows, lol.

For relatively little work, Nintendo could complete a game and never need to touch it again. It would improve not just this game, but the reputation of the entire service. They could have done this back in the N64 days with a 1.1 version, which other games got.

@keiyakins We have 4 Switches. (one per adult in the household) Luckily I'm the only one who plays any multiplayer stuff. My condolences. Though as a test I followed Nintendo's advice and the frequency of the in-lobby "A Communication Error has Occurred" messages has not changed at all.

@GameSlushPile @theWellRedMage Great review! It’s a shame the game is so bad. As I said in the Soulsland review, I think this is a serious problem with Nintendo Store—more worthy titles are lost amid the mountain of cheap shovelware.

@_WCS_ This dude just wasted all his karma with the worst reaction to a very simple problem, maybe nintendo should obligate him to have a community manager or just delete it.

@ThornatosX @aidancoreart There’s one problem. Nintendo is the only company funded PlatinumGames and SEGA. Thus Bayonetta 3 is a NINTENDO SWITCH EXCLUSIVE! If you boyfriends want to be *** pirates, make sure youse cough up $250,000.

@AmiTheRobot I have literally purchased about 10 sets of joycons. And back when Nintendo was fixing them for free they replaced 6, plus fixed my Switch. I tried the surgery kits twice and both times one worked and one didn’t. Amazingly, the controls built into my Lite have never had an issue.

@inkfycreates That's not even taking the issues with different country laws. Japanese copyright laws are famously draconian, and if the big comp wants to take your work down they will, even if by US law would be fair use, sometimes even if you are not making money (hello, Nintendo)

@AngriestAngry @_WCS_ @MarioGotSniped Multiple sources have said they have seen documents, cant show them since that would get them in legal trouble, and PG wont break nintendo NDA so they wont release anything official. You can believe the multiple sources that saw the evidence or VA that showed nothing.

@Dave19Brown83 @NintendoAmerica Well they should at least update the Nintendo Switch Online N64 games so that there's no input lag or frame rate drops.

@Sonverse Considering we’ve been getting a patch/hotfix with each new mon. Means they are doing something, obviously they aren’t letting the game die but people forget that the matching making isn’t just a unite issue/timi issue when it’s more of a Nintendo issue.

@Dasmesee1 @AEGRO_84 They were focused on PlayStation like Nintendo or any platform acquisitions is how companies grow in game dev business! Money or buying is not a problem and odd flex given Xbox literally built 343, Turn 10, The Initiative, and Playground, and Undead Labs from beginning was Xbox.

@burntends2 @JonComms Everyone replying "just softmod it" is missing the point entirely. It's a stupid idea from Nintendo that you should have to hack your console to fix.

@HarukaSlutty @1Nine80 @LegacyKillaHD Sega was already in trouble with Sega Saturn way before ps1 was even a thing. Sega had more resources than Nintendo and yet Nintendo still came on top.

@Dave19Brown83 @NintendoAmerica Actually, this was from an actual Nintendo Power issue. This was part of a joke article about modernizing Mario
