@estronautgaming They already save so much money by using cartridges over discs. And Nintendo games are 100% ready out of the box after a 2 minute install. Buy a Xbox/PS5 game and it needs a 60GB day 1 patch and still will have issues at launch

@MariohazardX This doesn't make Snake and Cloud Playstation characters Nor Megaman a Nintendo character, you can mostly associate it with the original owner, especially if it's on multiplatform Like even crash bandicoot isn't a Playstation character By that logic Leon Kennedy is

@OhMiaGod someone already mentioned this but I’d def recommend using Nintendo’s free repair! that fixed mine and I haven’t had the issue since. we’ve also had good luck with the pro controllers—neither of ours have had the drift issue.

Warning if you get a switch OLED. @NintendoAmerica Needs to fix the issue with the SD card slot. The slope they put there is causing it not to come out. It worked ok the first few times but now, I have to use forceps to remove it. Shouldn’t be this difficult to swap sd cards

@LoganPaul I find it strange that anyone would have a problem with this. Original Gameboy Colors are not more expensive than they were in the 90's, & if they were REALLY in high demand, Nintendo could just release a new version, with even better lighting!

@AHire4630 @ShenZxro @monsterhunter They asked so they knew if it was something they wanted they likely had been looking into it and had a few more things to try, but it ended up failing, my guess is it's an issue with the modified re engine on the switch or a Nintendo problem.

@OhMiaGod @thegabecole If they’re wired controllers I’m guessing they’re ones licensed by Nintendo rather than made by them, and in that case I’m not sure if any warranty applies 😬 AFAIK (though I could be wrong), the stick drift fix is only applicable to joy cons and maybe(?) pro controllers.

Reading a trouble-shooting guide for Nintendo Switch controllers and learning about firmware, software, synching, wireless connectivity … when I was a kid, you blew into the cartridge.

@FrappeFizzy Don't fix your busted joycons, shiny hunt with them! Our patented technology detects when your official Nintendo hardware is faulty and, instead of offering a repair, gives you: - better encounter rates - higher IVs - 1 in 1028 shiny odds!

In all honesty, if GameFreak (and by extension Nintendo) want us to purchase their games legitimately and not use emulators, they should re-release their older games so scalpers are out of the market. This issue has been shouted time and time again, but I'm pissed off.

@TAHK0 also i want to hyper-clarify: this is an issue with miyamoto, not nintendo as a whole. he's largely less involved these days and i think nintendo has by and large moved on from a lot of the stuff i'm talking about. he still looms large, of course...i mean, how can he not

@R0M_com @Cons_OA I would also add it may be a nintendo licensing issue, crossplay from 3ds to wiiu was nintendo to nintendo but steam or nintendo may have issues with licensing relating to it.

@Truhoopsmurph @BobWulff I do not see an issue since, let us be fair... even if some of them were usable, who would want something they may or may not barely use? There is retro gaming and there is nostalgia. I just see a table using old Nintendo hand helds. Not some crime against collecting.

We got a Nintendo switch with a phone upgrade and it's been on my want list for a while, so we wrapped it up and bought a load of games for Libby. No issues using it at my parents but when we came home the controller's wouldn't connect and now we get Orange screen when we charge

I love how the DS section of Amazon has been utterly flooded with bootlegs, and it makes me giggle, because Nintendo tells people not to emulate and buy used copies instead. Well, it seems they don't have a problem with these 500 in 1 carts and $30 Pokemon copies, do they?
