@Yuyuko2hu I was talking about Konami there. But yeah I have a shitload of problems with Nintendo myself, like make an hour long rant video type of problems, but at least they can put out a good product on rare occasion. Konami only knows how to fumble the bag and be a terrible company lol

Ok has anyone noticed that BD/SP has glitches? Not only has mine done it 4 times but crashed twice. @NintendoAmerica you need to fix glitches and crashes with BD/SP for both hard and digital copies just saying.

@PAINT__ing @NintendoAmerica Anybody can fix BDSP since it is the absolute worst remake ever, probably tie to GTA Definitive edition

Does anyone know how to fix a right Nintendo switch joy-con that isn't working? I've tried resetting and everything, it doesn't recognize it anymore at all

@animalcrossing @NintendoAmerica Hi, all I want is to be able to go into the Able sister's fitting room and purchase everything I want all at once. I go in to buy every color of every item that I specifically like and that's probably over 50 times. Please just fix it. #frustrated

@StormcallerZef Joycons will eventually drift. You can contact Nintendo and they will fix them for free!

Form what I'm seeing for Pokemon BDSP getting all buggy and glitchy... I hope ILCA, Pokemon, and Nintendo announce some patch updates soon to fix all of this before Christmas. #PokemonBrilliantDiamond #PokemonShiningPearl

@DynamoSuperX All the people saying Nintendo saved gaming after the crash really don't know about the game market outside of America...

@Nibellion My main problem with this game is that it looks REALLY low budget but has the price of a full big budget game. Only Nintendo can pull that off IMHO.

@Wario64 Off topic but I bought the Nintendo switch Black Friday games from GameStop and never got a confirmation has this happen to anyone? I bought 3 games and they already sent one but I can’t track the other two anyone experiencing the same issues?

@OneShotRPG honestly same. then I think one Nintendo Power issue told me to just max earth until you get Avalanche and suddenly the game is a cake-walk.

@JaketheVGAfella 2.0 was the last "major" update, so Nintendo had to release some minor ones to fix as many bugs as they can (or in AC's case, catch as many bugs and donate them to the museum as they can).

@LoganSSBM ah yes the “partner w nintendo (who isn’t UCF’s most avid supporter) -> sell their own exclusive controller that will solve this issue” combo, DI dependent but pretty reliable apparently🥴

@blackicewoof That was a different issue. Nintendo of America was handling the localization of Stories 1 and they dropped the ball hard.

@The_KingArchie I really hope the Microsoft Nintendo partnership leads to some Xbox live tier service for multiplayer, I'd pay 39 a year to do it right

@ZechoftheWest @CommunistPrtyAC Like honestly, Sonic Colors has less going on than most Sonic games, and this version is missing some graphical features from the original, yet it still drops frames on the Switch. That is not an issue on Nintendo's part.

@NapeMango i love making posts like that sometimes cuz ur completely not serious about it and some dude named something like MetroidFan459221 comes in and is like "I agree. Nintendo should fix their marketing."

@DegenReynolds @Lee_Tensei I already have a Nintendo Switch and Xbox Series X but I want to catch ‘em all like Pokémon. I also want to get the OLED Switch. I’m totally spoiled right now. I have RTX graphics cards I don’t even use. I have a spending problem I need therapy.

@MaibergerAustin @Kingcorey971 @NintendoAmerica Very true. Nintendo should just delay thier games instead of trying to hide the fact of not being finished yet behind "Free Updates". I really started to notice this problem over the past year with Mario Golf and the past 8 months or so of Animal Crossing.

idk how to fix this. found a reddit post from 3 years ago with a bunch of people echoing the same problem, and the solution seems to be "call nintendo"... not hopeful

@sensitron as soon as issue 1 of Nintendo Power Magazine became a plot point I realized any sense of critical objectivity was out the window, UTSL was Made For Me

@TestedData1 @burgerbarnbaby @Epic_Kevster Thr problem is that video games as a whole would be completely different without Nintendo they made home consoles happen if we remove them entirely all of those games wouldn’t exist you need to keep it just for that reason alone

@MikeKofiA Capitalism is creating a problem and selling the solution. My favorite current example is Nintendo Online plus not having remappable N64 controls and selling an N64 switch controller.

@LuigiBlood I did some more test and it did indeed break... and I panicked. So I tried it with several non LRG games like Zelda, same issue. It's def a Nintendo thing and we've sent them an email.
