Nintendo could put out their own music streaming service and it would probably be terrible but I would pay actual money for it

@ashleygodbold @NintendoAmerica Nintendo really needs to fix so many things with their online services…It makes PlayStation cloud saves look good, and they’re the furthest thing from good to begin with…It’s far too easy to lose saves on Switch. Makes me paranoid constantly.

@m_rizky_gumilar Ehhhhhh Sony and Xbox are fine. The problem with nintendo is they are *excellent* at software development. It's so minimalist and neat and efficient. And so they make their hardware to play their games.

@MoSalhan I don't think this will happen completely. Maybe Xbox's subscription service gamepass could come on a powerful enough TV in the future but consoles like Playstation and nintendo want to keep players in their ecosystem in order to maximize their profits. Also playstation and...

I have broken 2 joycons now via my switch falling off my bed. Nintendo pls go back to making your products stupid, clumsy child-proof because I am a stupid, clumsy child (I'm almost 23)

@scott0852 @antdude92 Welp, another game that should exist in the Nintendo Switch Online service in the near future.

My only issue is #Gamepass I have never liked it and never will. But I know tons of people love it. BUT don't try to force others to buy it. I have seen people try to push Gamepass on others just cause they don't like PlayStation or Nintendo. Seriously stop that ****.

@Keyossa3 It's more often now though, that's the issue. Nintendo changed the Algorithm since the random recent Ninji, Expert is getting the brunt of it.

Arceus has an answer to every problem I’ve ever had with Pokémon games. It is such a ******* delight I can’t put it down. Nintendo was right to steal from itself shamelessly via BotW and the only glaring problem is the graphics shouldn’t be this bad, though the art is gorgeous.

@IzzyKatt_ @badatnames8471 Aww :( To be fair, you're not missing out on much, it almost feels unethical to be paying Nintendo for such a bad service lol

@MorsGames why would Nintendo suddenly strike them down after them being up for so long like if they really had a problem with them wouldn't they have struck them down when they were fresh uploads????? i don't understand their thought process

@KoiOfOkinawa My problems with open world games extend to Nintendo. The only one I've ever played that I actually enjoyed, and if it wasn't considered one I would personally not call it an open world game, is Xenoblade Chronicles 2.

It's a SanDisk Extreme under Nintendo Switch branding. The SanDisk Extreme is different from the SanDisk Ultra in the compatibility issue. Just kidding. They have different designs but basically they are equally sufficient.

@DynamoSuperX Another FANTASTIC example of Nintendo not doing fan service.

@NuclearZuke @StanReinhardt @IGN The game definitely isn’t worth getting into issues with Nintendo over a charge back cause you bought it knowing what it would be like. People just be using charge backs for anything these days

@Dinfire I haven’t had any issues like that with mine. You may have to send it to Nintendo to fix it

I’m not a fan of the Online service that Nintendo has. They should have just brought back the Virtual Console shop for Switch.

@hsojlightfoot @Atlus_West The only way to "fix performance" on Nintendo Sh*t is making games with NES graphics.

@koya_joonie i looked it up and it said try to calibrate them which i did but didnt fix it, and then it said that nintendo does fix them for free but honestly idk if i really want to wait to send in controllers and have them get fixed. or if that's even an option anymore 🙄

@NintendoAmerica Hey nintendo, why do your controllers still suck so bad. Super frustrating remembered back in the day I could hit my snes controllers with a sledgehammer and pick it up and play no problems....once mine are dead so is my switch not wasting 80 bucks on bum products

For some reason, the Nintendo eShop is not letting me purchase Pokemon Legends Arceus, gives me an error every time, Nintendo why won't you take my money!!??

@m_rizky_gumilar The problem is third party developers who aren't quite as neat porting to nintendo systems. The results are all janky and bad save for low tech indie games.

@WhyIsIanBlack Gotcha. When you do that you can actually disconnect yourselves from connecting to nintendo's servers. You can still use the wifi but obviously you can't play any games online

@See_Jay_Dee_ @mryhrvy I had that same issue. Looked like a sprite from the super nintendo got pasted into the game

Why create an open world game where the world is ugly and barren? What's the point? Scale back the game . I can only assume this is another infamous "what happened" issue where nintendo demanded too much in too little time from the wrong studio

@Aseiryoo @AzmoLIVE It's not a Nintendo problem. Other games on the switch look better. It's the Pokémon company not putting the time and money they can and should put into their games
