Still am not able to login to my Nintendo account so I can't get my Switch year in review, but the Atelier games and Cyber Sleuth were mostly what I played anyways

@NintendoAmerica Nothing like paying $350 + tax for your Switch OLED only to not be able to transfer a save because your netcode sucks. Fix your **** you ******* losers.

@NintendoUK I would have been able to buy some of these, but Nintendo thinks its fun to retire my points without so much as a notification. Awesome customer service there as usual.

@KodylyAwesome @witch_mote worst part is, they seem to be even cheaper in the lite, which mind you, does not have removable joycons so once they inevitably break down, you're kinda forced to send the whole system to nintendo to fix it

“dream game” of being Zelda in the vast land of Hyrule. Only problem is, I’m *still* trying to buy a graphics card for my HTPC, so unless we wanted to sit in my office. Stupid silicon shortage. Anyways; I’m writing all this because it just really lit up what Nintendo leaves…

@nintendolife Why? 3DS online still works, and people still play its games. As a matter of fact, more people play 3DS online in 2021 than Wii U, and that's saying something. Are they terminating the service entirely, or can I still use Nintendo eShop gift cards? (I only have debit; I'm 17).

@ProDonkus @MomazosMissy @OniriBoy That being said, the KIRBY elements here are totally C&D-able. Nintendo owns that 100%. And there's also the issue that even if Nintendo shouldn't be able to take legal action against you, you probably don't have money to fight the case, even if it's total horseshit.

In an ironic twist, Sony not buying the entire Marvel film rights when they had the chance is their business error on par with Nintendo betraying them to make the “Nintendo PlayStation” with Philips

Can anyone send me a private message and help me get in touch with the personal contact information of a staff member who works at Nintendo America’s customer service center? I’m asking for paid help and I’m willing to provide $100

The takeaway from this rant is that third party nintendo controllers (especially gamecube ones) are garbage. Went through 4 controllers in the last year and a half and i take care of my ****. Yes the plan is to fix them but your average player shouldnt have to do that imo

Same people as always...dropping the facts!
(@CraigHarris456) reported
@Six1Eye @killertkr6 umm. their games running on Xbox (not PC) like HellBlade 2. Both Sony/XBOX have RPG's so again its not a big deal. GamePass is a joke, it has unfinished games like Halo Infinite, again BOTH have a service that lets you play games. Nintendo/Sony are on top Xbox is last.

Geno would still have problems being overshadowed by other square reps, Him getting in as a costume atm id consider is that small acknowledgment of square nintendo and sakurai sorta understanding the demand for him but sadly geno’s chances are really tough not from the rights-

@BBCNews I remember encountering similar issues in the past when there was no chip shortages. Nintendo are notorious at this when launching a console, to purposely manufacture less to stoke up demand, the Wii particularly. It's called the scarcity principle.

@Mirage73456187 @GenkiGamerJP I have an PC with 3070, xss, ps5, and Nintendo switch. So affording thing isn't a issue, it's more of not wanting to pay extra for no reason. Since companies already making billions of dollars every year from microtransaction and others means to make money.

Setting up my equipment to go live right now, this webcam always gives me trouble getting going. I've got a lot of notes on what to talk about, we'll try to get through all this stuff about Dungeons & Dragons and then we'll get to play some Nintendo. Going to be a fun stream!
