. @NintendoAmerica The "Drop" option should always be in the same place on the list of actions, and having it be last on the list is the perfect place. It's frustrating how easy it is to accidentally consume a food item. Please fix this.

@midi2304 @LeoHealy @scully1888 Since it's DLC I wonder if you would have to transfer the files stored on the SD card. Nintendo is sometimes very backasswords so even tough you got the DLC on the primary account it doesn't trickle down to the accounts under it. I know animal crossing had the issue the primary

@SingeBelgian @thetreyceratops @Lewchube There are no excuses to this fraud game, Nintendo and Pokémon know that people will buy any game, just for the franchise. They lack competition thats the problem

@CollectNintendo We’d also get controllers for those systems. Also, I wish they were widely available (in stores like Amazon and Best Buy, yeah they can be sold on eBay but that’s where I get my retro fix), not exclusive to the Nintendo shop.

@coldwars For Nintendo to make online service $50/ year, comparable to Sony and Microsoft which have much better online functionality, at least they’ve added a whole bunch to their most popular game

@eurogamer So basically they are saying "Subscribe first and maybe down the line we will give you a quality service"? Oh God! I will politely respond to Nintendo with that very wise French sentence "Va te faire foutre Nintendo".

@TheeNintendoFan @TommySkywlker11 @NinEverything I like how people are forgetting that Nintendo Switch Online is the online service, I guess Nintendo providing classic games has made people justify the service. The classic games was always just a last minute thing so they actually have something to provide.

@tashnarr I had two sets of joycon get the drift and can confirm it's 100% worth sending them into nintendo. they didn't even fix them they sent me two brand new pairs. cost me zero not even shipping. it sucks and it's inconvenient but at least they take care of it.

@DJK1NG_Gaming @PlayerEssence Well yeah there's that, but why is it always seem to be happening on nintendo machines and not xbox or sony? Its anecdotal, sure, but I've played a lot of online games on my pc and never seem to have issues.

@flexjtyau @nomad_cap I think something about the business model violates their company culture. It's still very much a "make a game, put it in a 'box' (virtual or physical) and then sell boxes). I don't think Nintendo has a "live service" culture yet.

I'm not the biggest Nintendo fan but I see the appeal of Switch games. Most of them are just single player games with no DLC or "live service" elements that you can actually complete. It's refreshing. Kinda old school

It was an error in a line of code for the game. Nintendo fixed this with 1.1 and later releases. Project n64 n other emulators, as well as the everdrive have a built in fix for it.

Only game companies I’d actually buy their games on day 1 or full price. Naughty Dog Santa Monica Studios Guerilla (Horizon) Capcom (Resident Evil) Activision (Crash and Spyro) Insomniac Nintendo (Depends) Any developer who makes a Star Wars game .

@EmEmeraldcave Their probably like Nintendo in that case, they don't give a **** about quality, at least their online service, their only doing it for money, the only **** on their online service is Tetris 99 and Pacman 99, which are good, but they're selling NES, SNES, N64 and Sega Genesis

@HTR_x2 @htGOIW If you think what Nintendo pushed out back in the 80s is shovelware crap, then you have not seen the absolute deluge of legit horrible software that flooded the video game market pre-80s crash. There's a reason why the "Nintendo Seal of Quality" was a thing.

@phoenixtheblade God nintendo seriously is still doing this? I remember having this issue back when the first ever wave of amiibos came out I guess nintendo knows the fans will always support them no matter how anti consumer they are

Case in point: I just died inside the Deku Tree, the first dungeon in a game I beat 1000x, because I was mashing my pro controller's Y because it's in the same position as an #n64 controller's B. C'mon, y'all, fix this, or at least let us remap @NintendoAmerica

@SW1Ton Due to gamepass I'm able to buy more Nintendo switch and third party titles. I'd hardly be able to buy any new games without the service. Especially since Nintendo games don't drop in price.

nintendo needs to stop making an entirely separate online service with each console that comes out bc it’s annoying as hell

@SplashLast @animalcrossing This has always been an issue with Nintendo even before the pandemic and supply chains had issues. I'm just venting my frustration towards them cause it makes me feel better. Until they have more stock for me to purchase, I will continue to vent to them until I get what I want

@Thinkgametalk @JuiceMan_V @PlayerEssence No because the people who don't have a Switch yet are probably not hard-core fans of Nintendo and do not care about the service at all. 26 to 32 million is a growth. How can you expect 100% of new customers to get the Online sub? Makes no sense.
