Twitter hivemind, I need your help! My Nintendo 3DS battery appears to be losing its will to live after ~6 years of wonderful service 🎮 My question is, can you get replacement batteries & where can you go to get it changed? (I don't trust myself to change it on my own)

@NintendoAmerica Smash Bros ultimate for being the game that it is on Nintendo Platform should have the "BEST" online mode of all nintendo Games, but instead is so mediocre and is not worth paying Nintendo online service if is not going to be enhanced.

@GoldMetalSonic @Neoxon619 @CartridgeGames Rollback can only compensate so much. It's just a lot better than delay-based netcode because you don't get the same lag spike. Delay is still very popular in Japan, so I'm not surprised Nintendo uses it. Most of their testing is done locally where it's not a noticeable issue.

@RebornShadows @MargieJoJofan I don't think you understand how non-disclosure agreements work both parties lose money nda's are legal contracts and if they're broken it could mean serious consequences for both parties I can't blame Nintendo for doing this at all

Hell, i think that's also the major factor why people give Nintendo so much **** for their online services, they lack a lot of bonus games for getting the service that all things considered, shouldn't be charged beyond your own internet bill.

Nintendo fr hasn’t “switched” up their servers in a long time. 2 half life games have come out before Nintendo switched server infrastructure. Can’t wait to get clapped in Smash but without lag

I can't believe that Nintendo's online service has a Windows 98 check code.
