@Daniel328DT @NintendoAmerica if they'd have just remade platinum and only platinum, i would've had almost no problems with it

@itsNaterino the problem is legally you dont own anything if you use the eshop, you have a temporary license under nintendo's discretion that can be revoked at any time, physical gives you more rights, more flexibility and value and control over your license (as you still dont really own it)

@sticky_treason @EldritchNexus @BobWulff made even worse with the fact that nintendo's always had issues with sd cards formatted with exFAT

@FireGokai @NintendoAmerica Sorry you feel that way. I bought one and it has paid dividends. I own the entire N64 library plus oodles of fan hacks, on original hardware with a CRT so it looks great and runs perfectly with no emulation glitches or errors. You don't have to beg Nintendo. There's better ways.

@SaintsRow I've bought Saints Row IV Re - Elected for Nintendo Switch recently and I have this issue when I'm at "The Kinzie Gambit", just after the cutscene where Playa and the gang exit the simulation to kick Zinyak ***, the game crashes and I must re do all the mission

@SweatbandTv When apex first came out for the Nintendo switch I saved up enough legend tokens for crypto and I thought he was the most broken legend in the game because all the stuff he’s drone could do. I miss that feeling of something new to me

@TechnoExplorer @nintendolife That'd be a massive problem. If people could buy melee for 20$ instead of 100$ for ultimate and all of its DLC. It would be like Nintendo porting their games to PC and other consoles. Its a cool idea but it could cut into Nintendo's profit, so its also a bad idea.

@pasta_wheat @Durrtydoesit Sony have never done anything close to what Microsoft have done with Zenimax. I have no problem with exclusivity, but it has to be Sony's and Nintendo's way. Not Microsoft's anti-consumer, open their wallet and just buy outway. Takes zero talent to just buy someone else's work.

Was playing Paper Mario and was halfway through chapter 5, software closes due to “unexpected error” re-opens to the start of chapter 4, which was several saves ago. @NintendoAmerica I’m really disappointed in the performance of the #NintendoSwitch #Nintendo64 online subscription

@ElderscrollsUTT @kidsmoove They are. Not dissing Nintendo but for me it just doesn’t do it. May get that new Pokémon game but it just looks empty. If Nintendo had more hardware power their games could be so much richer and full of life. That’s my main issue

@gehrig38 @JetBlue I was surprised to learn Nintendo has really gone to **** wrt customer service. That seal of quality they put on all their products doesn't mean much anymore. Corporations have reached a real "*** u, pay me" attitude nowadays. Only thing we can do to stick them is spend less.

@AboutNintendo @NintendoAmerica EXP Share was never the core of the Level-Balancing-Problem, which exists in every single Pokémon. The actual problems are bad AI and low level of Standard NPC-Trainers. EXP Share just removed the grinding for Gym leaders etc. which are even with EXP-Share a good fight.

@_Tom_Henderson_ Hopefully I don't have the impression for example that the first party games from Microsoft / Sony / Nintendo are broken on release (except Days Gone) on the other hand a good number of studios which do not belong to these 3 yes, it’s sad

I find it mildly hilarious that people are having their N64 Nintendo switch online paper Mario crash and their save data deleted randomly, now they know how the WWF no mercy folks felt back in the 2000s (and basically all snes owners too)

@EAHelp Hi, are the Fifa 22 Switch servers down? I have bought the game for my sons teen account but he can’t connect to ea servers. Only allows offline play. He had Nintendo online access

@Ambisinister_ @PracticalTAS People don’t know that pm was the most popular smash game for many (most?) til papa Nintendo nuked it from orbit. If it had melee physics/controls (fix whatever makes it feel so much worse to control) and rollback it’d be the undisputed best smash game

will never not be livid that nintendo literally wasted an opportunity to fix the problems with breath of the wild's story in a prequel and yet decided to include time travel for some godforsaken reason age of calamity makes me irrationally angry for that stupid guardian egg

@avoblackfyre @Gamer_soldier21 @TrunksWD There no way Nintendo launches switch 2 in 2022. Make no sense with chip issues and switch has tons of games coming in 2022. Switch will 100% pass PS4 next year. It only about 15 million difference today or less.

@FlorianeLts @CassondraBones It's not that that is the problem- it's more the fact the Switch is a terrible Nintendo Console and shouldn't be supported

@JorjjeG @GiLLyTHPSx @RockstarSupport It does this worse on the Nintendo switch. Everytime you hit a checkpoint the game freezes to load in another checkpoint. It’s really broken.

Want to give credit where credit is due - idiot me scratched off part of the code on a Nintendo Switch gift card. @NintedoSupport had the smoothest automated customer service setup I've ever used and had the matter resolved within 30 minutes. Thank you for a smooth process!
