@Metalfan26 I don’t understand why there’s so much complaining about Nintendo’s online service; it’s not them, the Issue is each individual’s personal wifi! I play via ethernet & my network connection is flawless unless the opponent’s console is using wifi

@PcElitist__ @NintendoAmerica Pfft. As IF. let's see you have a drifting controller on PC. Yeah. That's right. You don't get input lag either. Or have the game pause because the left controller popped loose. Wait what was my point again?... Aw shiiiii.....

@LaidBackInSong I think a big part of it for me is I was a Nintendo kid, Crash Bandicoot was the enemy haha. Probably can't distance myself from that

@KanesTheName Their ordering was off too, Nintendo has that down. You need to start and end good because that's what people remember. Starting with a crash 4 update was dumb.

@nadiaoxford Xbox Live and even the once very jabroni Playstation Network have been doing online for years. How is Nintendo's online service still what it is? The whole friend codes thing, it's all so tiresome.

@ITheCursedOne @Sleyece @Metalfan26 the problem is that Nintendo has so few servers as far as i know. and many games are peer-to-peer connection. they should improve online or make online free and market the subscription as access to these retro games and the demos/sales they do from time to time

@middaymoon__ i doubt even game freak is that stupid to exclude what was a plot-relevant thing. the rumours are that nintendo was mad enough about the gen 8 backlash to tell them to fix their ****

I don't blame Sony nor Nintendo for smaller-scale reveals since we are still living in a pandemic. The major problem with the presentation today was how many games had a near-identical art style. Also would have rather had something other than FNAF for a horror showcase.

@hecatelia @partyrockticon LOL........ Nintendo just has a problem with artificial scarcity. They just normally don’t make enough of something. I’m hoping it won’t be like a limited run, maybe they’ll keep making them for a while? And not, “here they are when they sell out they’re gone”

@NintenTalk Dude you truly believed we were only going to get posters? No way Nintendo would go through all that trouble and expense to just give us posters.

The way I’m seeing so many people’s file corrupt Nintendo needs to fix this 😭

ahaha
(@xolukeb) reported
@SuperNolanMan @IGN this state of play was still better than the nintendo direct tbh. news on deathloop, crash, kena, FF7R, and even the fnaf news. sony said they weren’t doing any first-party news so they did well in my book

@NintendoAmerica my switch controllers are not working properly. They move on their own and the buttons are pressing on their own. Is there any way to fix them? This is really bad. I’ve never experienced such bad controllers like these before.

This issue isn't exclusive to Pokemon. I see this with Undertale, P5, Sonic, and Nintendo as a whole. More noise comes from people complaining about the fanbase than the fanbase in question, to where you just end up hearing nothing about how people feel about the actual product.

@Metalfan26 Agreed but only because there’s literally nothing about the service that seems like it’s costing Nintendo that much money to provide

@Blueknight_V2 kena was good, but final fantasy carried it whole i mean crash didnt even need to show since they already did show it outside of state of play and nintendo direct

I thought the Nintendo Direct had a problem with super long boring trailers, seems like Sony also wanted in on the trend

State of Play thoughts. -Crash 4 support on PS5 is good -AAA Roguelike Returnal doesn't grab me. -Knockout King, the dodgeball game. Not Nintendo's sucky trailer; their show of the game actually interested me here. -Sifu... looks alright. Need to see more to sell me though.

@stephentotilo I sent in my joy cons to nintendo for repair, and when I got them back the right joy con was immediately having problems again, out the box. It's now back in for repair a second time :////

@stephentotilo You can get a repair kit to fix yourself but Nintendo should fix it for you.

@pkintheuniverse Never had a problem with new n64 controllers, only when used and abused. Have had issues on and off again with my switch controllers but I genuinely believe Nintendo just wants you to buy a new limited edition set every year. Pro controller has never been a problem.
