    Nintendo Online is the worlds shittiest service. Mf @blockbuster can run a better online service and they went bankrupt because they didn’t

    A week ago there was a very disappointing Nintendo Direct that made me think I wouldn't buy a Switch this year. It's funny how life works out sometimes because I was lucky enough to grab a Lite that had a pricing error. This also managed to settle the color debate in my mind.

    @TheOwnerOfSock It's not Nintendo. It's you. Your ISP sucks. Get a good ISP and it's amazing. Other countries don't have bad Nintendo Online. I have a decent ISP and haven't had many issues. But all American ISPs suck compared to other countries.

    @XboxTheory @TrainNtweet_ @kidsmoove Yes. I know who the game’s for, that doesn’t mean I can’t laugh at people spending $70 on it. I know who the DC Super Hero Girls Nintendo game is for, I can laugh at people spending $60 on it. I spent $70 on Godfall, I’m not mad at people laughing at me. What’s the problem?

    @gwagwazombie @SuperMarioOOC85 Yeah, that's what I mean, in a roundabout way. If SEGA didn't make that deal with Nintendo, Sonic Boom woulda been PC only and not have its problems. but no one forced SEGA to make that Wii U only. I think...

  • Johan_hyuga
    Galahad Leonhart (@Johan_hyuga) reported

    @GifZelda Nope. Just that square and nintendo were having some competitive issues and the legend of Zelda was extremely popular. Final fantasy was supposed to be the las game made by square due to bankruptcy and they made a fun of TLOZ. Ironically FF was a huge success so the rivalry

    Alot of the main issues with post 2005 sonic goes back as far as the wii. Why was the 06 team split into two? because the wii wasn't powerful enough for next gen. Why was colours more geared towards nintendo fans? because of the mario and sonic games (cont..)

    @CarterSwigert @NintendoAmerica Don't jinx it mate, if they made Heihachi, Cuphead and Tifa a Mii Costume they could do the same to Crash.

    @Shagstien @TheOwnerOfSock No. I’m just a little tired of Nintendo’s awful methods and pricing and literally all their other problems. Pity, I was always very forgiving in the Wii U days. But enough’s enough now. Time for them to get with the standard.

    @PlayDauntless @PhoenixLabs constant error (no code, just crash and software closes) when fighting Koshai. Every time. Nintendo Switch. System and software all up to date, running current versions. Help! Please fix

    Hey Evans. Ever heard of the movie Menace to Society... But your narrow mind blames video games for societies problems. Problems that have existed long before the first Nintendo.. How about you focus on the real issues.. Like Unemployment or lack of educational resources. Issues

    @JaydozeTwitch @NintendoAmerica just a little insensitive from you since slip lost 8 seconds on them in a pretty cracked world record run and you seem to get them immediately before you even discover the glitch tbh smh

    @mrpyo1 @NintendoAmerica Actually one is vetter it had a better story and things 2 only really had fan service in their name the story was kinda **** and the VA was vad too especially rex VA but that’s my opinion and I respect yours

    @ThatIrishDM @NintendoAmerica If you buy more than what you want/need then that shouldn't be a problem. Worst case they aren't limited and you can just sell the extras.

    @NintendoAmerica Holy **** Smash fans are sucj incels brainlits. Xenoblade 2 fans exist people, just because its not as popular as Crash fans doesn't mean we don't deserve to have a character for us which BTW who was originally highly requested.

    I sure do love paying for the Nintendo Online so I can go see my friend's dog and funny catchphrase cat. NSO should never have restricted people from playing online,plus the library is extremely limited. XBOX did it right with their service, Nintendo thinks it's a privilege

    @TeamGuardanator @NintendoAmerica Secondly even if disney did allow smash to use him they would want the majority of dlc sale like what they try to pull with spidey movie deal and don't forget smash still have to pay square as well. So it will bad business and to much trouble.

    It really doesn't matter how bad Nintendo Switch Online is. It's successful and just like pokemon, why fix something if people support it.
