@AWonderfulSound @Bicenator @NintendoAmerica Not if you go up the ladder. If they're noobs you shouldn't have a problem doing that.

@PowerGGz OMG 🤩 Crash Bandicoot!!! I played so much Crash on my Ps1, then moved on to Ps2. Good times! Being a kid was so good. I tried the trilogy on Nintendo Switch a few years ago...

@patrickklepek As a kid who poured 800 hours into Fossil Fighers: Champions for the Nintendo DS, whose gameplay loop is monotonous to say the least? Yeah, I really feel like there is a vast disconnect between games journalists, streamers, and online personalities versus the average consumer.

@Youtube we are BEGGING you guys to fix this, you're killing our channels under false pretenses. I am tired of being worried or paranoid. I've also had streams flagged while playing @pokemon by 3 DIFFERENT PARTIES who are NOT affiliated with them or Nintendo in any capacity. 3/3

@Hobbswtf I'd say Overwatch 1 runs pretty well on Switch. Some dips here and there but what they managed is impressive. Looks and feels great. If Nintendo was the problem it would have been appreciated to have a reason as to why Switch was excluded. They didn't say anything.

@OatmealDome **** off Nintendo, you should fix the online issues instead of add new words to the black list.

@Vicvillon I'm no stranger to glitches, but if it stops you from making any progress... then that's a real problem Honestly thank God Nintendo patched out these types of glitches. They even patched out a softlocking glitch in Skyward Sword

@WeavyTheSomeone The problem is why Capcom chose to make the stories series Nintendo exclusive. Monster Hunter Stories is a Pokémon competitor. So that’s a problem and MHS isn’t multi platform.

@420oneechan I waited for a year or two so some early problems could be ironed out like dock scratching, controller synch & drift. Once I saw Nintendo released the Switch V2, I bought one. I played a bit with Let's Go Eevee, and BOTW, but ACNH never left my Switch for the rest of that year.

I can't help but wonder if this is exclusively an issue with American translators, or if it happens elsewhere (the differences between NA and EU Nintendo English releases makes me think it's mostly an American issue...).

I have critiques of Nintendo's Switch output. But IP variety is not one of them. By any stretch. Just be honest and say you want YOUR specific game to get representation. Pretending that there is some IP quota that can be achieved shows a huge disconnect from reality.

(@JazzyJeff2891) reported
@Jiikae If the Fire Emblem series went dormant after Awakening, it be another IP name on the list Nintendo fans would beg to come back. It's wild too because they want more more Major level IPs, but then it's a problem if Nintendo tries to grow an IP like Xenoblade or FE.

@NintendoAmerica You jerks can put out violent games like Xenoblade and a Capcom fighting collection, but my Advance Wars is being held up. Let’s fix that.

@NintendoAmerica See the problem I have here is that many game universes have creatures and various things that would practically incinerate humans upon contact. You can’t gonna tell me you would enjoy surviving *ahem* living in something like Metroid.

A few weeks ago I told you that I fixed my brother's Nintendo DS. Well... a few days ago I damaged its software accidentally... The good news about this, is that I managed to fix it again and update it and now I can play Animal Crossing: New Leaf and Mario Kart 7 🥳.

@GeekyFish @The_Flying_Kick @transgamerthink The problem with Nintendo is they haven't done much of anything to advance gaming either and rerelease the same old games over and over.

Balance your Gusto
(@broken_foreword) reported
@SpeedStar1642 @CONEY It wasn’t terrible, and neither was balan. But it was something overhyped that even the creator thought could have been done better but the parent company hat to put out. Similar issue here as without strikers we’d have gone two months without a major Nintendo release
