@QueenGoli @mrpokeplayer_ High risk high reward 1 shot thru a wall. Stingray is lower risk and also takes much longer to kill. I'm fine with the hammer clip atm, I'll wait to see how it develops in the meta. Wouldn't be surprised if Nintendo comes back to fix both the hammer and the recent hacker problem

All these small developers end up having their games **** on because Nintendo didn’t address the latest Smash rumors or fix their hardware. Even though an IndieWorld showcase ISN’T where they would ever do that because not as many people watch them.

@Regener8dRadio I’ve had my attacks not cancel an an enemies goal so many times and the lag between menus drives me crazy. Just seems like with it being a first party Nintendo game, let alone Pokémon, it should be more polished. But I think it’s the hardware holding it back not the game itself.

@iFireMonkey No fix for Nintendo Switch microphone issue? My microphone icon disappears during a match and can't talk to teammate.

The only Zelda game I haven't played is wind Waker. I need on the switch badly. And I know Nintendo is a ***** about ROMs and such, but if you're not providing me with a service that WILL make you money either way, tf am I supposed to do??

@ThyLordThyGod @vicious696 @jasonschreier Man this argument is a lot stronger if you ignore the problems Konami and Capcom had during the mid 2010's where they wanted to make "American style" games. Or even Nintendo who keeps failing to deliver modern multiplayer etc because their executive team is old Japanese men.

I have a theory that nintendo puts drift in the joycons on purpose, considering they acknowledge the problem and could probably fix it. But instead of that they're putting it in joycons so people will buy more.

@oarfishes I don’t have gamecube, I used to play it on my laptop, but the emulator is not working anymore. I’m currently playing the one for Nintendo Switch and I actually like it but the cube one is superior

@TacFlash @Kirb08 @AboutNintendo Since people are having trouble understanding this: Nintendo being stingy and overpriced is dumb, but it's not technically a problem. You choose to pay what you choose to pay for. The other companies come with ridiculous, sometimes law breaking baggage.

EarthBound: Beginnings should already be on Nintendo Switch Online. If it's already there, please do let me know. Also, if they could be extra generous, please do translate Mother 3 and make it available on the same service. I will no longer ask for anything else ever again, man.

@SparksEchidna I think it even extends to Pro Controllers. I got a new pair a few months ago, and somehow they already started drifting. Nintendo seriously needs to take this issue seriously!

@marshmard I contacted Nintendo customer service and told them what happened, but I was told I can't get a replacement or points refund. In my opinion, the reward doesn't come with enough information to avoid making this simple mistake.

@ThisIsBing007 Yep. I've said it before, I love Nintendo, but they are just the worst about listening to what their fans want. They put out what they want, how they want, and don't care whether we like it until they're in trouble.

@flatlinetf2 1. Don't group smash in with fighters. 2. Yeah of course its broken, its smash. 3. They only care about money, not fixing your game, that's why they don't support tournaments the way capcom has capcom cup. There's no nintendo cup.

@NDragon1412 @pcgamer Hm yes I do seem to recall that, it was due to a misconception that the mod had to be run using a pirated copy or a rom of the game or something like that, again a fault on Nintendo's part for their disconnect from fair use policies as even if it was a rom I think it still legal?

@DialgaMarine @MldGhost Bruh nintendo and sega are the reason console gaming is still alive, after the video game crash in the 80's it wasn't Sony who kept the market going. The market was never gonna disappear "because of Microsoft" no one company can kill gaming. Your ignorance is knows no bounds lmao

Rapid fire... - Another Nintendo Indie Direct without the Hollow Knight sequel?! - Uggggggh @ Richards & Bialik as the new Jeopardy hosts. - What If? is... interesting. Great animation, but definitely some pacing issues trying to do altered versions of movies in 30mins.

@Nosey_Tengu I’ve been using the service since it started, so here’s some advice. Create another Nintendo account and get the enough points on there and order a new one on the new account. You can’t order it again on the same account. Or ask nintendo for a new one and see if they do.

@RealFamedHater @ViktorGorchev @jasonschreier Umm studios like Nintendo have actually talked about trying to have more woman developers might just be talk but still they can identify that it is a problem and the animal Crossing director is a woman. As of now 12.8 developers in Japan are woman.

@davescook I will check that out. I think there was a demo on the Nintendo eShop some years back. I wasn’t too keen on Hover though - had some bad performance issues. That said, I wish JSRF would get a port for modern hardware. It really deserves better.
