Hmm Has Nintendo started implementing their new online infastructure much earlier? Since In Super Mario Brothers 35 (for instance) I never Had any connection problems there & no lag But that could just Be me

@x2cybotx @LysanderSc2 The Switch is already being emulated for PC, which is a stock Tegra X1, so yeah it's not really a problem for Nintendo especially for how old that tech is.

@NintendoAmerica Your online service that I paid for is not working properly. When I play smash ultimate my attacks have so much input lag that its almost unplayable.

@chuggaaconroy I thought it was fine, but it epitomizes the problem that Nintendo has with Paper Mario where they keep trying to elevate graphics and humor while letting the gameplay take a back seat. Paper Mario thrived on fun combat and lovable characters, and Bug Fables is proof of that.

@JCeretor @NintendoAmerica Even if joking your original tweet was "It could've been in the base game" there's nothing more to it. I said that was a stupid thing to say so you started telling me about the problem with Nintendos policy, which I never even disagreed with.

I have been frustrated with the lack of an NHL game on a Nintendo console since NHL 06 on GameCube or NHL Slapshot on Wii and NO NHL 19, 20 or 21 on Switch?!? EA Sports, what the hell is your problem with Nintendo?!

Every time Nintendo ports an old game to Switch for full price and people complain Nintendo fanboys are like “um, we never had a problem when they ported games to wii u at full price before so why are we complaining now? 🤓” We? Who is we?

I'm definitely getting Skyward Sword, but it seems that Nintendo has made the Sword right handed only which is annoying. Link is left handed and so am I. I have no problem with making him right handed but I want the option to use my left hand for the sword. Hope it's okay though

The blind supporters that buy every nintendo game on release and replace their drifting joycons and then turn around and say "Joycon Drift isnt real lol it isnt a real problem just take care of your stuff". Nintendo fans been doing the same exact bad things sonic fans been doing.

@JCeretor @NintendoAmerica I don't disagree with most of the other problems you listed, however you kept telling me more and more problems without actually taking back what you said in the original tweet, which I never disagreed with.

@realdealneiman @RiderCamden I've been bitching at the club for years. Part of the issue being since the Nintendo guy departed, remaining ownership is left holding something they can't afford, or don't want to afford. They're a little guy priced out in a multi-billionaire's sandbox. That sound accurate?

@schlangche @NintendoAmerica when it comes to Unfinished Games: yes, plain and ******* simple. I shouldn't pay $60 for an unfinished package or a game that has less content than a 3DS Game and then be forced to wait for the game to become Finished. When it comes to a Finished game, there is no problem

@JCeretor @NintendoAmerica Yeah your tweet was half joking and it was a really dumb and stupid joke. I agree with you on most issues you said with the game, but your original tweet, even if joking, complained about something being patched in, there's no other way to interpret it.

@Xploshi @Nintendo If we finish the game 100%, and then have to make the Switch version, there very well could be deep rooted problems in the code that we would have to do big overhaul work on. If we tested and made the Switch version ALONGSIDE, the game would be programmed with that stuff in mind

It baffles me how Nintendo could be swimming in cash like Scrooge McDuck style but they’re just like, “nah, let’s not give people what they want and release all of their childhood memories to them while simultaneously killing off our emulation problem.”

@SuperFenix64 @Valtgaming @ArloStuff Positive. We owned 4 and had 2 our friends controllers for a while. A LOT of people had the same exact problems & it was only SS that did this. We're not just whining. Eiji taking most of his time to talk about motion control fixes proves that Nintendo is aware of issues.

Does it play?
(@DoesItPlay1) reported
@Aurelius291 However the real issue I feel is content creation. We could reach a stage where apart from Sony and Nintendo and a select few pubs most big aaa games are purely live service and online and for those cloud subs make sense

@nothingman763 @gpthree @DestinLegarie The problem is "history" doesn't matter. Microsoft is the license holder from now going forward. I remember when Final Fantasy games were on Nintendo until Sony struck a deal with Square. Keep in mind that I have no problem with Sony's 1st party software being exclusive.

@TAlanHorne Nintendo should make some old SNES games free and available on a server-side gaming platform you could log into from anywhere Not every game would work for that, bcz of controller issues on different devices, but the game you refer to would! Then everybody'd know Master Belch!

@ArloStuff I had to stop very early on because the motion controls for flying was murder on my wrist. (It actually requires a motion Nintendo explicitly forbade due to RSI issues, but first party games are exempt from the rules)

Activision: "So we're going to announce Crash 4 and Tony Hawk coming to the Switch in the next couple of days" Nintendo: "Cool, we have a Direct coming up, would you want t-" Activision: "NO"

@Dreamcrashed As long as PlayStation and Nintendo and high end pc exist we don’t face cloud only basically lol But I’d expect the bigger issue will be games made with online server and gpu usage, like games that have server powered ai etc
