@jadethedoob exactly although some people do have a problem that the switch might end up being "the port machine" and nothing else which i can definitely see happening, nintendo really needs to hurry up with the next big first party game fast

@ampyourgrowth Hi, it was pulled from the North American eShop by Nintendo because of an age rating issue. It will hopefully be back online soon.

If Sony and Nintendo sold their own official emulators they would make millions. The issue with third-party emulators is they aren't always gonna run well, if at all with certain games.

@nintendolife Been beating this drum over and over, GamePass on Switch through Xcloud. Either that, or Nintendo fully joining the Xbox Network to fix their servers. Which wouldn't be market altering, but still a really cool thing.

(@Nightshadowxx2) reported
@Vet_093 Would make a lot of sense, Crash 4 started development around 2018, if Activision and Nintendo started dealing during that time they would let Sakurai know about the new mainline game and wait until it releases to implement Crash 4 in his pack, probably until E3 2021

@MatPiscatella Wishful thinking on my part, but may be Nintendo could throw in Nintendo Switch Online Service online only games (see Tetris 99) for XCloud to super sweeten the deal for everyone

@Theguy75768441 @nintendolife Xbox is happy with it because they're focused on selling a service now not hardware, Nintendo wouldn't be happy because they're selling hardware.

@gibbogame @MatPiscatella @Nintendo More likely we get an expansion of Nintendo and Ubitus's current cloud service on Switch only.

@theGamerPad @Wario64 & it'd most likely sell 3-4x more than PS platform too & prob PC so what's your point. This is a HW issue blame Nintendo for weak console & not XB.

@aaronwhiteeee Nintendo causes stick drift... there are a handful of good guides to fix it if your feeling brave?

@OllyTei @MatPiscatella you think Nintendo the 130+ year company will put a Microsoft service on their device without them getting a cut?

That's why Nancy Pelosi called it a "sacrifice." It was a sacrifice in their play war that makes these small wins - like Chauvin's case - seem like revolutionary moments that shows the system works. Even a lot of broken Nintendo cartridges still turn on once every 10 times.

@NintendoAmerica you haven’t fix online with smash because it obviously keep lagging online. At this point y’all ain’t recover anything. Like I’m done supporting y’all putting all my money into this system.

@kotokamiu @adesyndicate Too many thinking heads. It's the same issue with any mistake Nintendo usually do. Or any major company, in fact. Internal competition often leads to problems because it disrupts companies from the inside. Look at the mess they did with the Mega CD and Saturn...

@ftrazor ok but joystick drifting on genshin is gonna be so annoying when it comes out on switch .. either nintendo fixes that issue or it’ll simply be Hell

@SMetaldave64 Maybe Nintendo can just use Microsoft infrastructure for their cloud/online service. So it’s still a partnership but Microsoft is kept on the backend

(@NDragon1412) reported
@nintendolife Nintendo won't allow a service on their platform that would only directly pay their competitor instead of themselves? No way! Jokes aside, I would surely love it, but I don't expect that to happen xD

@richgel999 @BF_Osval @AndreaPessino Apple issue with games is it doesn't understand it. Best thing they could do would be buy Nintendo or Sega and run them independently just with good hw and os base. I've seen the strange way they think games biz works from the inside. They don't get it.

@kingboozx3 @IntroSpecktive No, Universal had the rights for Crash and Spyro from the beginning, then Vivendi and now they're Activision Blizzard's IPs and as I said earlier Sony had timed deal with Universal for exclusivity. As for Banjo, Nintendo/Rare had the rights from the beginning and after Nintendo+

@Canyon_PONband Whiskers has some nintendo music in it and the two strangers games have some really crude stuff that’s probably not stream safe 💦 That being said people have streamed them before without getting in trouble and the rest should be safe! (Including one releasing in a few days)

@Blusling Ohhh okay I hope it works.. I've seen some people having the same issue and Nintendo just sent them back their Joycons without fixing anything because "there are no issues"

@Cloudeddddd I don't really have a problem with it It's just supposed to be a collection, and honestly not many collections do anything different than what Nintendo did here.

Honestly if Microsoft and Nintendo could make some kind of deal to do a cross-platform remake of Banjo-Kazooie and Tooie in the vein of the Crash and Spyro remakes I would be really happy lol

@GameSpot Yeah, seems like all consoles Xbox, PS, Nintendo are having problems. The drift issue is unacceptable.

I understand the need for Nintendo games to be unique and fun, but if a game wants to have a ranked mode then it needs to at least look at what other objective based shooters are doing to solve these issues. I don't want #Splatoon to become homogenized. I want it to be the best!
