@Nintendo @NintendoAmerica really needs a function to let us know when there is an update or extra DLC for games we own on switch. Just discovered @WargrooveGame had the Double Trouble content in the shop- luckily I came across it myself!

@FourHorsesGames Heard Nintendo extended the download code use period to 4th of April. Was gonna try it out, but the website gives you a 404 error.

@cccc22535155725 @NintendoAmerica It’s not graphics, its performance. No amount of style or gameplay can fix a poorly performing game.

On both the Nintendo and IGN channels the Zelda footage from today looked grim We know this engine looks nice. It definitely feels like a render error. Is there a better quality version knocking about?

@stopmrdomino This is a major disappointment! Mighty No. 9 deserved to be on the 3DS and now it's cancelled because of manufacturing issues? Nintendo needs to step up their game! #MightyNo9 #Nintendo3DS Check my pin tweet bro

@MasterCWelch @johnblueriggs Exactly. It was a good formula. Apparently Nintendo haven’t heard of “if it’s not broken, don’t fix it”. They lost me as a Zelda fan.

Due to some battery issues regarding my New Nintendo 3DS XL, it can’t stay without its charger for less than 5 minutes. It basically became a small Video Game Home Console.

@darkestflameboy Since that is a big thing I have an issue with when it comes to the Nintendo side of things but I just don’t really think it’s fair to put that on GameFreak since Nintendo is putting out rushed deadlines and GameFreak is doing their best to deliver

Nintendo will add urban yeti and karnaaj rally before they'll add anything noteworthy to the GBA online service

@drew_sk33 @NintendoAmerica I highly doubt it. It would make sense from how this seems to take place not long after BOTW, but the Master Sword seems too op for early game. It is when you do the BOTW glitch to get it early. What I'm hoping is that the Master CYCLE is available in the base game this time

@CaffeinatedBolt @SerebiiNet Someone said that was probably nintendo’s goal – get a last round of few people to pay for the service before it became free. I know there was a bug as some people were able to download it without paying and some others didn’t, just seems like the company didn’t care enough tbh

This may rub some people the wrong way, but I think NFTs and live-service games are the future. I also don’t think there will be a Nintendo Switch 2. It pains me to say that, but I think it’s true.

@TheOgEVG @Stealth40k The game could be more important to you, no problem there. However, Mario Sports games notably have less development time, aren't made by Nintendo in-house and don't have the same budget as a main Zelda or Mario game.

(@Richi09692073) reported
@TheMaractusMan @CeramicToast @NintendoAmerica Just look at BotW. Techniques like windbombing will crush the framerate (it freezes) so they had to tweak the engine like crazy to get the fast traversal in TotK to work. All these added things would crash the original code.

Nintendo direct starts, Aonuma's eyes wet & red "i'm sorry guys, the new Zelda is dogshit..we can't show anything...*sniff*..we tried to fix it..sorry"

@hardcoffeekras the problem is that nintendo hasn’t revealed enough information to justify this being a sequel & worth $70. zelda doesn’t miss so people are giving them the benefit of the doubt but if this was literally any other franchise the reception would be abysmal rn lol

@king_goomba @NintendoAmerica @PlayStation probably biggest issue would be is getting something like all community levels from ps4 to switch. Also could be cool if somehow they could just bundle one game with all LBP 1-3 story levels (perhaps psp and vita levels as well)

@tennozu_ @So_Ethereal The biggest issue will be the size. But we know Nintendo and them can get it down to a 16gb card

@CactusCorps @Wario64 Nintendo can typically be lagging behind many trends in modern gaming, but their Nintendo Directs were so ahead of the game in getting news directly to consumers without relying on a yearly trade show. Now almost every large publisher does it. And E3 became irrelevant.

Clutch Nintendo Customer service gave me a 1-time refund on this (to my wallet I believe so they still got my money but at least I can buy something I don't own already.)

(@InDisGeoff) reported
Oh and to add, Nintendo got in a lot of trouble for doing this back in the NES and early Genesis days. They had a clause that said if a game was made for Nintendo, that same game could not be ported to another console. Then being by far the market leader, devs had no choice..

(@stucktheduck006) reported
I’ll never forget an experience I had four years ago where I called my bank customer service to verify a purchase, and the guy noticed I was making a Nintendo purchase. He asked if I played Smash, and asked me who I main. He even lightheartedly said “I bet I could beat you”.

@PatroclusRex Oh! since I connected Go and then the news started to pop up, I have been waiting for something from Nintendo about it but then I stopped finding news about the problems
