Seriously, what's Nintendo's issue here, they just keep on rereleasing NES and SNES stuff but when it comes to N64 or Gamecube, they act as if those never existed ever. So bootleg N64 mini and Gamecube mini then, they've abandoned that so may as well..

@samstolgia @GoNintendoTweet you're dumb enough to hype up the most broken smash game in the series, why do you care about that does or doesnt go into developement at Nintendo?

@motiontwin Has anyone experienced lag/performance issues on Nintendo Switch? I’ve been playing on my OLED but game is too laggy and sometimes it takes more than usual loading

@magpiekilljoy Hmm I guess as someone involved in the online art world and all the fanart I see is Simpsons, Harry Potter, Marvel, Nintendo, SailorMoon etc. ad hominem it means something different. And when it's to gain a few points in the attention economy it belies deeper systemic problems

@HMKilla The marketing strategy is VERY odd indeed, especially when one considers other games that released with a lot of hype but few details ending up having serious issues. Bound to make people concerned which *might* hurt sales, but this is Nintendo so I'm sure TotK will be amazing.

@moththepuff I honestly believe no one is going to sign up for All stars lol also Nintendo and PlayStation aren't so Buddy buddy so that might cause some problems, but hey we never know something might pop up in the future

@NintendoAmerica hi!!! I’m having trouble linking my NID to my Nintendo account as the account birthdays aren’t the same! I tried the customer support website but didn’t get anywhere, anything you can do to help? I’m hoping to add funds to the 3DS before the shop closes!!

@mcquack306 So torn. In an ideal world it would be Xbox, but their issues with physical releases is really hurting my want to use the platform. I definitely have a much larger Switch collection than PS4/5, but have lately been playing a ton on PS. I suppose, currently, it's Nintendo

Nintendo, I get that players who are afk for a while will disconnect, but can you not do it WHEN MY CONTROLLER DIES AT THE START OF A MATCH??

@ImpishMATT I would not be surprised at this point, they've allowed broken games like S/V to exist, have this constant demand to release games, and now this cryptid news making it out to be a Nintendo homegrown Square situation

@Jebadoo2 This is the problem, or even something like a Nintendo Switch. Why not just ban them from all technology that can access the internet full stop? In fact, why can't we let him just die there in prison even? The life sentence is what his victims have had to endure.

@MightiestPoo @Nintendo From my experience with tera raids, the difficulty isn't in the actual battle, but in meta level crap like menus not working or the game not responding that results in us timing out because this is a wonky game. There should be a death cap, not a time cap.

@TapDatApp Backwards compatibility isn’t a issue of power necessarily it’s just a choice that manufacturers make. Switch wasn’t backwards compatible with anything prior neither was the gamecube. It has happened before. They’d be dumb to do it but I don’t underestimate Nintendo lol

@skweed08 @Shizuka96395810 With that said, it is still sad that Nintendo doesn’t put any money into a server to fix this.

@RonTheTryhard @replicantpinky It doesn’t always happen but happened to carts I had for NES as a kid, the screen would start flashing solid colors, eventually my parents contacted Nintendo support and they said they could fix them if they were sent in and it was most likely caused by us blowing in the carts

@NintendoAmerica We haven't gotten any new NES or SNES updates since July last year. Fix that

@MightiestPoo @Nintendo Players should feel frustrated and determined to do battle when they lose. Cheaty OP battle mechanics are fine, they can be planned and worked through. Players should NOT feel like the game is constantly cheating them out of a victory because of programming or design issues.

I haven't encountered a game in over 20yrs that's given me such an intense migraine as Pokemon Scarlet/Violet. It's literally unplayable for me. @Pokemon @NintendoAmerica Fix your ****. I just burnt $60 on a **** game.

@MarinaTentacles Let’s be fair these are the least of Nintendo’s problems xD Dedicated Splatoon 3 servers would be a start, can’t grind if I’m getting kicked out xD. I remember when Microsoft started that in like 2012 xD

@GoNintendoTweet It's obvious he knows something, but he'll get in trouble if he spills the beans too early...Look,Nintendo is either going to stick with the Switch formula or it's going to be something completely new..I'm going to go with a more power Switch

the issue here is i could wait a year or two and it'd still cost $70. it ends up becoming "will i burn that now or later" with nintendo.

@Sigilynk This wouldn't be a problem if Nintendo wasn't so stingy about lowering prices as time goes on. A game like Fallout New Vegas, Witcher 3, etc has arguably as much scale as BoTW and either game on a sale can be grabbed as low as 10$

@JoshuaJ52479098 @TheCupidKid @Palworld_EN I see no problem with it. The pokemon community has people making hacked roms literally ripping nintendo off and they dont bat an eye but as soon as they see a design that looks kinda similar all hell breaks loose. Seems like a weird double standard.
