(@H2OCoveredEgg) reported
@PownicMania5000 I don't really see why people are so upset, I know Nintendo usually do lackluster content release for these games but this seems fine. Love the style and music and the gameplay looks fine, don't think there's much of a problem

I find it odd that modern systems have trouble with backward combability in emulation. I can understand 3DS not being very playable on a Nintendo Switch due to dual screen, however the hardware should run it just fine.

@Sopie___Walten @NintendoAmerica Ehhhh I'm sorta mixed on the chibi style For BD & SP... but the main problem is that the game it self is a (One-to-one) """remake""" of the original But it plays more like a remaster if anything But do I think the 3D chibi style looks bad? Definitely, It just looks off.....

@Nintendeal Hello. We have fixed Nintendo’s online service to bring it in line with the Xbox 360. This is a massive leap for us. 🎉

Nintendo online games like Super smash lags sometimes and Mario karts cuts out just not often I would say. I hope Mario strikers doesn’t lag something is telling it’s going to lag

@DolciMatheus @NinEverything Never seen any of those rumors although it would be cool. I have trouble seeing Nintendo do this because I think they value there IPs to much. Nintendo preety stubborn to change. That said it's never impossible.

@NintendoUK hi👋🏻 do you have an email that I can contact customer service through? My JoyCons aren’t working.

@Hannah_bmbmbm Okay so this is my business idea. Buy as many broken Nintendo switches as you can, fix them, and sell them. Usually you can get $50-$80 profit per switch. You can even offer switch modding services for a premium. All work from home. Maybe 30 minutes per switch. Easy money

@NintendoAmerica $60 tag for this? Definitely Nintendo has a pricing issue. It should like $40.

Thought I was gonna finish V3 today. Then the game crashed 3 hours into the class trial. Will try again Wednesday. If it crashes again I do have the game on the PS4 as a backup. *cough cough* Nintendo, there's a problem

@Nintendeal Nintendo buys and now owns Crash Bandicoot and Spyro the Dragon. Is planning to make a franchise empire with the two.

@bowserzeki @Chawyzard123456 @NintendoAmerica I mean... you are clearly being the black sheep of the issue sadly? the vast majority of the people that I know are saying good things about the netcode. Your case seems veeery specific. maybe router firewall doing bs with the port that the game uses?

@felipefesantana @haide023 @NintendoAmerica When I was playing the game I never ran to those issues, what I can say though is that it might be connection issues, but I almost rarely run into those and only ran to it once

@sp1nda_pgh I think the main problem for running p+ Isnt the fact that we are working with Nintendo. They have shown they will just shut it down like at riptide. Thus scaring other TOs to also scrap p+

@Rattlehead73x @Colteastwood It doesn’t need to be one lol. The Nintendo one is better because it has the games. PlayStation will be better because it has the GAMES. Y’all misunderstand the value of games. The service is fine. The lack of games on Xbox is not.

@AskPlayStation Earc port you would use with sound bars and all that. Could that be causing an issue for some reason? The only thing is, my Nintendo switch doesn't have this audio issue after using the Xbox, so I doubt it

@Nintendeal That nintendo will offer their retro games to buy digitally without the NSO service on the eshop. And those who got the service can buy those games at a discount price or free offer

@Hi_There_How @TheGoldReaper57 @NintendoAmerica Well, they might need to wait a while, they're not adding any until golf. That is probably the trouble with online games, you need to wait.

I know there's a mod to fix this and give them game ps4/5 controller support but the fact that square couldn't do it themselves makes me want to pirate the rest of their games and @ them telling them to go bankrupt like I do nintendo
