There clearly is some bad **** going on with management and how people are treated at Nintendo of America and probably other divisions. ******* fix this. RIGHT ******* NOW NINTENDO.

@RocketLeague trying to connect to my twitch from the Nintendo switch and when I click link account under extras, I get an error message and the game restarts every time. Is there a way to connect the switch to twitch?

@32DaCrow @NintendoAmerica I don't know why I've been so aggressively against this service in particular. I guess I should probably open up to it more... but I already have most of the things offered, so it's probably too late for me personally, but if you wanna get it, gold for you!

If Nintendo is at fault and something is done about it, then that will make them change for the better. …But only Nintendo. Contractors will still suffer, I don't think it's remotely fair to pin the blame entirely on Nintendo and sweep the the rest of the problem under the rug.

@ActionJaxonH @Allay4minecraft @NintendoAmerica You know what's an even better and cheaper win? Getting the same games over on Steam and guess what? You get to actually own those unlike the NSO where once the servers shut down it's bye bye games. And I had zero issues with the collection, seems to be a you issue.

@NintendoAmerica How about you give us a service worth paying for? Also, how about the option to buy games out of your back catalogue. Stop locking these old games up in the Disney Vault while you slowly drip feed things to the ‘service’.

@IGN This isn't a good look for Nintendo and the fact that they refuse to own up to it is even worse. You'd think they'd tweak the design of the joycons to prevent this from being such a prevalent issue, but nope. Just continue to spend $80 on something that will soon drift.

@32DaCrow @NintendoAmerica Now that I think about it, I don't know why I've been so aggressively not towards this service in particular... I guess if you think it's a good idea and think it's worth it, you do you. Your entertainment isn't my issue to deal with.

@Gnarly_Pounders @ExpandDong15 @NintendoAmerica problem with that is those subscriptions are WAY less expensive than the expansion pack so its more bothersome to pay 50 dollars and have to wait almost half a year to get your moneys worth

@JrEwing21785822 That scum would have bought Sony and Nintendo if it were in their possibilities. Microsoft got always in trouble for their ambitions to become a monopoly. No matter which industry MS is aiming for total control. M$ is the worst thing that could happen to gaming. Google BigTech.

@MetroidDatabase The issue was it seems like Nintendo didn’t understand what a bounty hunter actually was. They called her a bounty hunter but the definition in their mind was not what we know a bounty hunter to be

The one that *didn't* get discussed too much in Discord: - The whole Nintendo of America issue going on behind the scenes. I already gave my brief thoughts about this. But man, I am having second thoughts on the idea of a game developer...

@nickthepickle33 @_RaymondNoodles @NintendoAmerica Yes because nintendo's legal team can be trusted. It's not like they're currently lying their asses off to avoid admitting to a hardware issue.

One thing I can definitely say though, I don't think this is a Nintendo specific problem. Instead of saying "Nintendo is ******!", maybe we should be saying "US contractor culture/law is ******."

@NintendoAmerica The amount of money I am paying yearly, for "some" N64 games is incredible. I hope to see GameCube games by the end of the year. This premium service is pushing its luck for sure

@Carl_C_1 @NintendoAmerica For the disconnect part, there's been plenty of ways to tell. You can see them poof into thin air when they dc, their little weapon icon at the top will stay crossed out without actually graying out the weapon, and if you're on ranked, it won't deduct or raise your rank

@AndreSegers Not to mention Nintendo has stated that they have “no plans to offer classic content in other ways”, meaning that they are killing off the Virtual Console service for good. If NSO does not carry over to the successor, we’ll lose the library when the servers eventually shut down.

@Gl_acial @IGN Yeah, it's an issue that all the Nintendo haters are making up. I hear about it so much that I once thought it was real while I was playing Super Mario Odyssey and my camera started moving for no reason. It was getting to my head and I bought a new pair for no reason whatsoever.

@Loutredu_Bengal @tykulton @MinuraNakatawa BOTW is another perfect example of all those problems, yes. And the fact that Nintendo seem intent on sticking to that design template for the series going forward is really depressing. I'm over here hoping Fromsoft don't do the same thing.

@LazarusRobin Oh cool, it's coming to the Nintendo Switch Online Expansion Pass, that adds just more value to that part of the service. I already have this piece of DLC, was pretty dang good from what I remember.

@The_CaNERDian Anyone who says VC was better than a netflix-like library of retro games hasnt been there since the wii, buying the same retro games THREE TIMES so you can have them on your most recent console. If nintendo simply ports the NSO service, as is, to the next console? Perfect.
