@WBGamesSupport Playing Lego Harry Potter on the Nintendo Switch. Download version, not hard copy. Every time we enter Hogwarts, the game crashes and returns us to the Switch home screen, with the message "(!) The software was closed because an error occurred.

i feel like the problem with remaking a game like superstar saga is it has such a specific off model style that modern nintendo could never ever replicate. But i think given the weird IP rules they have in place the remake did a pretty good job.

@DoWhatYouDo6 @RoninStrife Yes, indeed Microsoft had paywalls for their online service... take a wild guess at who has them now. GwG, sure I'll give you that one. 👏🏿 Kinect... Nintendo, yeah.. then Microsoft... LASTLY Sony.. your ("their") point? Did you (or rather. "them") really wanna go this route?

I honestly don't care if people support the cesspit of a company that is Nintendo. They're not losing money any time soon anyway. However, I do have an issue with people who try to justify it and defend Nintendo with mental gymnastics. Just makes them look like boot lickers.

@elbethium @AlexisMirror Both fanbase dude, that's the problem. At least Nintendo fanbase only cries about ports. One of the reasons to why I stopped caring and just got all of them, power of choice is indeed a beautiful thing since each have their pros and cons. But you gotta blame the fanbase on that.

Don't buy from Nintendo

@NintendoAmerica Online may actually have enough people for a full race for once. Although if you get it for the other systems that wont be a problem at all, and the connection will be better, too.

@pettipoole Super first world problem. The Genki Nintendo Switch dock protrudes quite a bit from the wall with straight adapters. Trying to get the cables a more compact coming out of it. Then where the switch is sitting it could benefit from a right angle for better cable management

@lindskay80 @Synaptic_Rabbit @NintendoAmerica Before buying ANY games be physical or digital, check the box, in the back part (and inferior) there's the modes in which you can play the game displayed with some simple drawings, if you see a drawing shaped like a switch lite then you can buy it with no problem.

@MojangSupport I can't login to my Microsoft account in Minecraft, Nintendo Switch. I've deleted all my save data, I've deleted and re-downloaded the game. When I try to login by pressing any "(...) Login Microsoft account (...)" button, it loads for a while then nothing happens.

@kocienda Sale happens with gaming. A user for Sony, another for Epic, another for Nintendo. It’s an issue to keep all your users without using something like Google as a general login. Which It’s nice, but you give away too much control imho.

@PearlteaRizzy joycon drift has barely been an issue for me, now what has been is how delicate the bumpers are I dropped both joycons only a few times and now my bumpers just straight up don't work anymore I've dropped other nintendo controllers and even handhelds without any issues though

@BeccaaFaye Somehow happened to me when I tried to sign into the Nintendo services with my Google account I was hoping an update to switch systems showed that you can sign in with your Apple ID because Nintendo apps on iPhone are compliant with Sign In With Apple

@shoibox Issue with the switch lite is that Nintendo has not fixed Joycon drift at all. Ergo if your joycons start drifting you'll have to send the entire switch in to get repaired. Really does nothing for it's unwieldiness but it's something to consider

@BogusMeatFactor Poor camera angles and controls, buttered fog visuals, severely limited "quality" RPG selection. Quality is definitely an issue outside Nintendo 1st party developers. There are a lot of reason's I don't care if I own a N64. The AKI games were sweet though.
