  @NintendoAmerica Nobody beats me at any tabletop games, because I have nobody to play with. I still keep buying them. Dunno why. I might have a problem. Anyway, my favorite board game is Small World!

  @nihal_io @vicious696 Unless Sony/Nintendo allow Gamepass on their platforms the only Bethesda games they'll see are pre-existing releases or expansions for live service games. Sony will see Deathloop and Ghostwire: Tokyo due to contracts, and possibly Starfield if a contract was made before the sale.

  @ZoopWolf I’d thought about buying a Switch but I really wanted Nintendo to fix this **** first. Apparently they’re never going to.

  @AmongUsGame Hello. This is poggers update but I just wanna quietly reply with something that may be a me problem, but eh: I'm on the Nintendo Switch. Whenever I go into the lobby select screen, my controller just...stops. It works to go back home screen, but it stops working ingame. Why?

  "Apex Legends is another in a line of Nintendo Switch ports that remain impressive in the fact that they exist but ultimately are too compromised to entirely recommend. In a multiplayer first-person shooter, especially one as ferocious as this, that problem's especially evident."

  @StellaNoxEclair If you're from the US you can actually mail them to nintendo and they'll either fix it or replace it. If you're not from the US...... You either fix them yourself or buy new ones

  Ok something to think about if gamepass ends up on the majority of tv’s as an app would a PS or Nintendo fan try out the app on said tv sooo why not allow the service on said platforms to at least gain revenue through said platform...😎🤔🤭

  @JustEmian @NintendoAmerica @PlayApex That's a connection problem then. You probably have *** internet

  @marcokitty3303 @ZoopWolf Well hopefully that continues to be the case. I’ve seen nothing online that confirms Nintendo fixed the issue, but plenty of people voicing frustration over the joycons suddenly not working or that they never worked.

  @NintendoAmerica @CrashBandicoot Is it weird that I prefer Crash 4 to be a PlayStation exclusive?

  @RogueCompany @PrettyHair Fix The Arena map on Nintendo Switch. Every time i play only on this map all special effects are turned off. You can’t see bullets, fire or even ronin’s knife red light, it’s terrible and makes it way difficult to play on that map. Please fix it :(
