@JW_Evolution are you going to ever fix how your game looks on Nintendo handheld? Or did I waste 20 dollars for my OCD to be triggered so badly that it send me into a compulsive episode..

Today I got a nintendo switch for 60€ because the seller thought the screen was broken but it was just the screen protector, it works perfectly

@EasyStreetGamer Not even close. Nintendo Switch is only $300 and it offers new and unique games rather than a subscription service that delivers 99.9% old low polygon Xbox games and multiplatforms you can get on any console or PC. Switch Lite is only $200.

@southsouthsac @Genki_JPN Yeah I think even when Xbox has tried their hardest in Japan during the early to mid 360 era, brand apathy was still an issue. I still want MS to keep trying but it's very tough to break through a gaming market that has been so entrenched in home brands like Nintendo & Sony.

I'll never forgive Nintendo for Nintendogs + Cats because cats are better. Nintencats + Dogs and we've got no problem. Or just ten cats. I want ten cats.

@TCG96 I don’t understand why Nintendo discontinued and stopped the Dr. Mario World service, which is sad, it was entertaining when I wanted to play something else on my phone. I miss it. Never played Miitomo though...

@LonelyGoomba Yeah thats Nintendo fans on Twitter lol. They just kinda take whats given to them. Asking for anything thats not a bug fix is considered "entitled" and "ungrateful." Very strange

@sjake333 @RetroGamer_Daz Honestly, if Nintendo would just be like "sure, go ahead and pirate it" it wouldn't have to be a problem. It would be smarter than keeping legacy platforms and software alive for the 10 people who actually want it out of the millions of "Twitter concerned" who wouldnt play anyway

@NintendoAmerica i keep getting this whenever I put in splatoon 2 cartridge. Now, it won't let me click on it. I've had it over a year & it became a major issue when I got a new switch. ACNH works just fine. As does the other games. What should I do?

The reason why I say that is because the PS4 and Xbox One doesn’t have weaker visuals, only the Nintendo Switch has that. 1. The PS4 and Xbox One has normal visuals like how you use a PS5 and Xbox Series X/S and PC. 2. The Nintendo Switch has texture issues not PS4 or Xbox1.

@Zoisii @im_not_board_ Yeah it is easy, it's just the thing about generations Heck I'm not sure if the Wii U is part of the 7th or 8th because ******* 2012 Anyways, the Nintendo handhelds also had problems but idk

And knowing @NintendoAmerica @NintendoCoLtd @thetruebowser They won't fix the lighting for windwaker HD it'll just be a straight up Wii U port rather just play the original that sadly doesn't have the upgraded sail at least it wouldn't burn my eyes out

@imsnoyipee @WaddlesYoRHa Hard to find much research done on it that’s recent, most of it was done back in 2018/2019. Firmware updates might have changed it. Doesn’t make much sense for wired to have more lag but that’s just Nintendo. Either way, make sure the wired option is on in the Switch’s settings.

@PQubeGames @DualEffectGames I hope a update patch comes soon for the Nintendo switch version of tormented souls. The #ps4 got one update so far, but im having major crashing issues with the switch version but its still amazing game waaay better than those silly Outbreak games on switch. All those are bad.

I have like a genuine question- Why would Nintendo implement that feature where if you don't move for long enough they disconnect you... and then have it count as an actual disconnect—

-because the Nintendo Switch has more issues than any other consoles has than you think. 5. The PS4 and Xbox One consoles needs the love too because firstly the PS4 will continue to get updates (confirmed by Sony), and secondly the Xbox One will do what PS4 do & continue updates

@Top5Gamingx Probably won’t happen since Nintendo loves taking other peoples characters like for smash but giving us their characters is when they have a problem

Camelot is a small studio and made Aces in 2 years, a lot of that games flaws are via Nintendo higher ups demanding a game out a certain time causing things to be post launch content. It’s all once again a crunch problem. No artist on a game is like “yeah let’s make this suck”

@OatmealDome Did Nintendo fix any of the save corruption or Game crashing bugs, such as the one in Paper Mario? The only thing I've heard was the two reflection & fog fixes in ocarina of time & the code screen in Mario Gold being disabled.

@NintendoAmerica what is@up with the input lag for apex legends on switch? Is that a thing? Plus wraith runs slower during phase shift than on other consoles I feel…
