@Sonikko06 Not really. I mean sure, Nintendo fans are generally very unfunny, but they don't really share the same issues Sonic fans have. Not to mention that what I'm complaining about doesn't really all come from the younger fans. Like when a kid is being an annoying brat you can tell it

@PaulTassi @Forbes releasing a game day 1 on pc devalues the console. just like releasing day 1 on a sub service devalues the game. and this is precisely why neither sony nor nintendo do it. notice sony & nintendo are always on the top of console sale charts. exclusives keep their ecosystem strong.

Same people as always...dropping the facts!
(@CraigHarris456) reported
Yes it looks like there will be 2-3 levels for Sony's BWC. Nintendo is charging fity dollars for 64 Games. So Sony fans need to get ready to pay. Sony however looks at it as a premium service.

Hot/icy cold take that I just want to get out, one of the biggest problems in the Nintendo fan base is misinformation. Both being too harsh on Nintendo with info that is outright false, or sending death threats to those that criticised the times when they have genuinely ******

@NintendoAmerica your contact unresolved issues isn’t working on my browser. I have fraudulent charges on my debit card what do I do to get help?

I reported them somewhere between 10-30 times. Using the Nintendo name, image or any such entry for purposes of anything harmful to pretty much anyone is something only a monster would do. And people ask me why I have confidence issues...

@Daniela_A_Wolfe The impersonating Nintendo part is curious bc it is literally looking for trouble. However, I imagine they’d get a takedown notice first rather than legal action. Still, I can’t tell what they’re even trying to accomplish with this tactic. It makes no real sense.

'We are currently experiencing technical difficulties, please try again later.' This has been the message on the @NintendoUK repairs site for weeks now. So frustrating when you have a product which is not working 😠 JOYCONS are a con indeed! #NintendoSwitch

@lemiscate @cryptocom nintendo's online is a paid option with fren codes and lag all the way. Apple is shite but has a direction and is doing things.

@Lecosanne @MrsKryl @NintendoUK They don’t permanently fix it though, I’ve seen numerous reports of people who sent their switches, their joycons away for repair, get them back and after a while they go again. Suppose it’s why that class action lawsuit was filed, eh Nintendo?

@Jyosua Mostly wifi players means there's a lot of room for connection issues and the nintendo online isn't exactly known for stability. I've had disconnects as well but I've been able to play games online before so it certainly is possible.

nintendo really impresses me sometimes. they made their service cost as much per year as many of their competitors charge per 2 months and it's stil not worth it

@m_rizky_gumilar @naigally @TrunksWD If we didn't had supply issues who knows. But as of right know it's doing great, and it's aligned with what the PS4 did, which did amazingly well. I just think the Switch will do better. Nintendo could still have 2 more years of Switch selling like this, it will go to 140m maybe.

There is little that can piss me off as easily as getting banned because I disconnected from online games when the only reason I dc is because Nintendo switch online connection errors out the *** every two seconds

Imagine: you go back in time to fix your bad hair in your yearbook picture. You come back to find that Skyrim is not available on the Nintendo Switch. “Why would it be?” You have no answer. This message has been brought to you by the Committee for Responsible Time Travel

I find it weird my parents don't get THAT mad over my bad grade. I'm dissapointed though. Maybe I'll try to fix myself now and get that Nintendo Switch.

@Daniela_A_Wolfe Given they're effectively impersonating Nintendo, there's a chance that they might land in trouble sooner this time, so I think it's worth reporting them for impersonation as well as the obvious harassment and transphobia.

@LeArgaez @astaranx Nintendo doesn't have a large 3rd party library. They need exclusives to sell their consoles. PS doesn't have this issue. Also, I didn't say sell PS games on Xbox. Sony is leaving money on the table by not bring PS games on PC. Every Xbox game is on PC and Xbox stills sells.

@Krytopsy @Nick_Marseil @theRealJayDub2 What? That the switch was outdated from day 1 and Nintendo should be putting their games out everywhere like Sega?? What's the problem with that? He WANTS Nintendo games to be on pc and everywhere else as well... Only your boy try to spin it differently.

@scottwolf14 A Genner is someone who 'generates' hacked or illegal pokemon, usually shinies with perfect IV. The problem is that when trading, I have to make sure they're not illegal because if they are and I use them for online battles, I could get banned from Nintendo.

@faulkie87 @_KeanuReaves PS4 and PS5 have been broken into. They aren't gonna have to wait for the games to come to PC to pirate them. Just like Nintendo that the 1st switch. Pirating will begin on the platform within the couple of years.

@EditingEntropy Bought Popeye. Horribly broken game. It bothers me to see someone as trusting as nintendo allowing glitchy poorly rated broken games onto their eshop. Then we the consumer suffer with wasted money and poor service from Nintendo support Line.

Had a dream I had to call nintendo customer support because every time I played my switch I would suddenly be wearing every single jacket I owned all at once. The guy told me that’s a save corruption issue with pikmin 3

Seven days later, and still no reply over a simple security setting on my son's @NintendoUK Switch. I'm not quite in despair, but really. It's really quite poor service.

@FroggyTheMii 1) Kirby fans have trust issues 2) "Aren't his ears the cutest?" sounds like Nintendo's trying to mislead us 3) Way too many Kirby antagonists have introduced themselves like "nice to meet you!"
