@Minecraft why is it that the nintendo switch version is having trouble connecting with ps4 through cross platform? I spent 4 hours trying to get it connected to play yet i kept getting signed out of my account, not able to connect to the other world due to it not being available

@FjormForever @spike6958 @sevengranddad92 Why do you think Nintendo started this service? To keep this library accessible on future consoles.

@gewy_bewy @Deebeegeek26 As I mentioned before, the issue is not alone, that this games doesn't look as good right now as it could, the issue here is, that nintendo likes to sell you games, that could have been waaay better while charging full price, while others put in max effort for half the money.

@ITSOMARION20 @AEGRO_84 They need to fix their online. They still use peer to peer connection on some online games for some reason. And they still won’t give people something like a virtual console. People really want to play old Nintendo games but they won’t give them that option ever. Sucks.

issues from the game because Super Smash Bros. Brawl uses a dual-layer disc due to the size of the game data. Nintendo of America has stated that some Wii consoles may have difficulty reading the high-density software due to a contaminated laser lens. Nintendo offered a free

@TheVGMLover I wish nintendo would atleast admit there is an issue with the Joycons and just release a new variant.

@DreMeMoTo @HannaBarberaCap These memes are great, but the problem is that there's too much thought put into this voice casting, unlike what Nintendo actually did lol

@Ryan62088 @Sarakazi @NintendoAmerica Some did report having issues with yahoo. Outlook seems to be more consistent, but of course some does have problem with it too. I think we should just make multiple emails across different provider to be safe.

I’m still laughing at Nintendo for making a premium tier for their online service that isn’t worth the next to nothing people pay for it now. This is legit peak Nintendo.

@MrboomstickXL Master Chief would be a massive boon for Microsoft, and if it comes out say November 15th. People get even more hyped for Halo Infinite. Because there is no way Microsoft was just like “Sure Nintendo, have Banjo for your online service.” (Also it won’t just be Banjo either)

proud moment I ever done. I almost 100% it, but was missing a Sticker to the game Sonic the hedgehog 1 Japanese art to be exact. They did messed up the family Wii the first time and Nintendo got it fix the first time. It was 2010 the family got messed up again and need to

@JunoLake i honestly dont care if people play the n64 games on switch rather than emulation on other devices, but nintendo should still be called out because the service is still lackluster as hell

@ProtendoYT I will only miss it for the angry reactions from people. Like they want Crash, Master Chief, Spyro, Sora, Waluigi, and etc. I bet you they never thought of what character from a game is popular worldwide, and that would help Nintendo make more money. Frisk has great evidence tho

@Jeddy017 @Deebeegeek26 It's not about realism or sth.I'm totally clear,that a kirby game isn't supposed to look like Kena,or TLOU or whatever.The issue here is, that nintendo like's to throw some games hastly together and still charges full price,while others put in real effort for half as much money.

I'm done trying to make clips and videos with your hardware. Seems the only way to capture anything worth as content is when I'm playing live. This is sad. I have 0 issues with @PlayStation and Nintendo when I make clips and videos and they are interchangeable with other media.

@CakeBunnyNSFW @TheEbonyMaw I'd rather just download my own ROMs than pay even more for Nintendo's **** online service to get a small handful of them. They need to fix their servers before they do anything else.

@HalX2K halo 3 is literally the only reason i wanted an xbox instead of just sticking to nintendo consoles like i had even though i haven't played it too much, the MCC being on PC makes me super happy, especially with 343 fixing a lot of the issues the original halo anniversary had

@32DaCrow @AbsIsAsh @NintendoAmerica Sorry, you are right about a lot of non-legit emulators. I have gotten computer killing viruses from downloading an emulator a while back. Wiped my hard drive and did a lot of damage to my pc. Emulating does have its problems.

(3) vendor on Amazon WAS listed as legit Microsoft, and their item could be used for the Nintendo Switch. No can do. I contact Amazon support WHILE STILL CONNECTED TO XBOX. Amazon rep says it's Microsoft's fault. they are the vendor so their problem. Xbox still says nay...

@IGN That’s a great idea Nintendo! Make a paywall in front of retro games that many people love, forcing them to pay even more than they already are for a sub-par subscription service! So pro-consumer!

I wish NSO was just for old Nintendo games and the online was free. A subscription service for older games isn't a terrible idea, but Nintendo wanted to have people pay for online for no reason at all outside of pure greed.

@0li0s Yeah I get that too. But I think the problem comes from Nintendo of Japan. They are the ones against esports while Nintendo of America seems ok with it, but they can't do much about it since Nintendo of Japan are the ones in charge... overall Nintendo is just weird lol

@Sammyz91099599 The patch from what I've seen only fixes the seizure glitch so far. I don't know if they release any other patches yet. So other glitches are still there for now. Even then not everyone experienced a glitchy mess of a game on the Nintendo switch.

@theindiedevotee @Deebeegeek26 People just want prices to fairly represent the product based on an abstract universal standard. . . the problem people have is nintendo doesn't go by any universal standards within the industry. They do the nintendo thing and "supposedly" just rip consumers off constantly. (END)
