  @KRoolKountry Grrrr evil Nintendo fans not sucking off Nintendo for putting out 3 games no one gives a **** about. They’re litterally the most profitable Japanese game company, people have the right to complain about their lackluster service

  i wonder if crash bandicoot is still even an option with the activision blizzard dogshit thats happening. If I anyone w/ a say in it @ nintendo i'd just would not touch any activision reps entirely for a while even if they werent activision originally just seems kinda tone deaf

  I'm genuinely enjoying the latest NSO update. It is the stupidest bargain bin crap I've ever seen, but that kinda makes it fun. The service really just needs to bring in the lot of the missing Nintendo games and it'll be great. Some more frequent updates would help though, lol.

  @CleansedBandi If it's not the dock and the ports, it might just be the tv ?? If nothing works either go to Nintendo support or someone who knows how to fix it. If they can't do anything about it then probably get a new one :/

  Anyone having dbd issues on Nintendo switch? I keep getting errors trying to play with friends but I can load into random games fine. #dbd #DeadbyDaylight #switch

  @IronJoeBro @KRoolKountry Square might not want SMRPG on the service because they don't receive the exact compensation that they want for it. So maybe Nintendo wants to put it on the service but Square doesn't. That makes me think that's the case since no Square games are on the service.

  ******* wild how Nintendo won't acknowledge this as a problem with their products BUT will also issue a free repair service... Which is probably VERY SIMILAR to method above.

  @NintendoAmerica Nintendo has the worst player service in all video game medias, literally does not listen to their public, we're paying for this service and you just release random garbage no one asked for, while there are so many other games fans are constantly asking for, which isn't much tbh

  Jelly Boy is such a nothing game. Like, the character could work well in a better game, but I really don't see why Nintendo bothered getting the license from EA as a value proposition for their Online Service...

  Watch as crash was planned as the last fighter but now they delay the final dlc fighter so that it's not an Activision character. Obviously I don't know how licensing works, but even so, knowing Nintendo they would do everything in their power to protect their brand image.

  crash or spyro being the final smash character would be really unfortunate given the circumstances, i wonder if nintendo would go as far as to scrap them in favor of a second choice to avoid potential controversy

  @MFusion245 @TheNCSmaster Mother 3 not being released as Eathbound Endings is actually the biggest issue I think fan have with Nintendo. It’s so well known that Nintendo doesn’t even take down fan translations in fear of fans rabidly demanding an official releases.

  @optic_idk You can put it in a box and deliver it to Nintendo and they can fix it for free, or open the flap, blow air inside and spin the joystick vigorously basically forcing it to function properly

  @Slade4Lucas @glyphcom @KRoolKountry When Nintendo is trying to make their new online service appealing, shouldn’t they include every well known SNES game on their service, at least all the ones they can? Sure, Mario RPG might not happen because Square ENIX is hella protective of what they make, but-

  I feel like this game is so close to being a masterpiece, but it's held back by the worst of Nintendo's design philosophies at the time. The HD version helped with those problems a lot, but couldn't completely fix them.

  @NintendoAmerica What’s the priority for games released on your online service? Is this what you think western players want? Why do you keep doing this slow drip of being able to access classic games?

• 
  Paul (@banjosworld) reported 54 minutes ago

  @TheWalkingDeaf I got the game and I have to agree, it's an awkward setup. I think the issue is that this game was originally developed for the Wii with motion controls, not a standard controller. But you'll think Nintendo would at least make an effort to make it workable. Right now, it's not.
