(@fluffyinnocence) reported
IMPORTANT: I forgot to mention: your character has to fit within the world of the comic, which means they will have to be bipedal (walking on two legs) and that I will not be accepting any Pokemon (last thing I want is to get in trouble with Nintendo if it got published.)

@rando9292 @lipsontgg @Nick_Marseil The problem is game pass has 3rd party games. You want gamepass on ps and Nintendo, they'd be way more open to it if you made it first party games only. But xbox users wouldn't handle that. PS isn't gonna allow a service on their console that directly keeps people from buying

@JustMwood @playvs @NintendoAmerica I understand the issues that people are having with PlayVS, but that doesn't make the "goodwill" towards my program any different. Please save the negativity for other threads.

I'm a bit disappointed that Nintendo Switch Online still doesn't have button mapping or screen border options. @NintendoAmerica - could that be added in a future update? It would improve the service quite a bit, I think.

It's my last day of the Nintendo Holiday Ambassador Program today. 🥲 Another reason I hate January so much is I have to stop doing the best job I've ever had I'd kill to be able to do this job year round, it's not even funny how many of my problems it would solve. Until October

Does anybody know how to get a hold of @NintendoAmerica for their Switch Accounts? My phone was factory reset so I can't get into the google auth app, and now I can't update my account :') I clicked 'help' on the site and it just takes me to an error page. #NintendoSwitchOnline

@hazrieal @TheRealJTV4K60 I doubt they will do that because they depend too much on console sales and the ecosystem it provides. MS just turned 3rd party so it makes more sense for them to get their service on everything. Nintendo might get it as well.

@NintendoUK hi, I can’t log a repair on your website, it just says there’s a technical problem. Please can you help?

@SagamiSword_ I think I am? I do like some Nintendo games, but not all of them Switch, Wii, GameCube, Wii U, and DS (sigh) are all nice All broken in some way :(

@Harryno5 @AlexBrangwin @JohanzelV That's where the issue with Square came about, which caused a 'messy' breakup with Nintendo when they lost FFVII to Sony.

@Lichzim @Andyblarg @MyNintendoNews The DLC comes with the service for free. The reason it's rather pricey is because of the Sega games. Nintendo pays them like, a royalty to have them on the service. I really don't know why they had to have those. A Gameboy selection would've been better in my opinion.

Once again reaching out to @NintendoAmerica @NintendoEurope @NintendoNL. My repair F570X1553807 vanished in thin air. I sent in two joycons with the drift problem. Never an update, never received them back. #Nintendo #NintendoSwitch

@midzykt @midzykt So, the only announcement I could find right now is in German, it basically says the games launch as planned on February 1st but the Nintendo switch versions got delayed a bit. The February 25th date was just a typing error which meant to say January 25th instead.

My Nintendo switch going to need repair because the SD card is not working, IDK if I should sent it away for 2-3 weeks just for that.

@R_Tsakalidis @NintendoAmerica 2/2 Writing the problem horizontally discourages a focus on math as a procedure or a one-way approach. It encourages students to flexibly think about the relationship of the number and mentally compensate, add up to ten, decompose by place value, etc.

(@CartridgeGames) reported
Sony first party blockbusters sell really well. I guess the issue is that they only release like 3 titles a year, which is similar to Xbox’s output Nintendo releases a game a month. 19 of the top 20 best selling games of 2021 on Switch were from Nintendo, the other was exclusive

Nintendo still can’t figure out voice chat, they have the weakest machine by a mile, their online service is overpriced missing bare bones features and they still sell insanely well and continue to succeed. PlayStation isn’t going anywhere. Relax.

@XboxP3 Can see Sony/Nintendo merging at some point. Sounds crazy, but they could jointly develop a new console and have All of their exclusives on the system. Buy a few of the big Japanese studios too and have a sub service like Gamepass. Love my Series S but I’d buy that too! For sure!

@HitboxBunny I've has the exact same issue with every Nintendo system that's used the "game card" style cartridges (DS and 3DS) but you'd think by now this is something they would have figured out how to prevent. There are definitely other weird issues just with the Switch too though.

(@WaspPrince555) reported
@xMBGx You know, Nintendo didn't have this problem, maybe because they're 1st party are engaging enough to not warrant the need to heavily rely on 3rd party support. Maybe Sony should slow down on the cinematic third party games and create some actual diversity

@theWellRedMage We all know the term Nintendo hard, and a lot of games get a bad reputation because they’re hard. Those games aren’t bad. There are games that are flat out broken on the NES though, and just aren’t good. Any first person RPG on it is unplayable today.

@iammuppetman @Dylan_Murphy93 @JezCorden Yeah, I'm feeling like mostly a Nintendo guy rn myself. My honest take is Phil likes to talk about Game Pass numbers because his competitors can't compare, and not XB consoles because of the third place issue.
