If you remove Nintendo and maybe Project 64 has always had numerous graphical issues with it definitely feels right, and the real world in SMT V seems to have school sections.

@Delzethin I wish Basilio & Flavia got new English VAs, but not because I have anything against Patrick Seitz or Tara Platt (they’re good people). It’s more that I wish the two got Black VAs instead, which seems to be an ongoing problem for Nintendo’s Black characters.

developing an overarching conspiracy theory about joycon drift + nintendo being hesitant to fix joycon drift entirely even thought its been 4 years and by far the biggest problem about the switch + barely any games ever utilizing the switch's touchscreen

New Alert | Stability Issue We’re aware of a stability issue on Nintendo Switch related to switching inputs. We recommend not switching between docked and undocked modes.

@Scyhigh_ "no, you can not enjoy our older gamers UNTIL we sell you it later maybe via on kinda crappy online service" - Nintendo apparently probably mostly likely no wait that's literally what they do.

@Raphanobi1 @CentroLeaks I feel like it's kinda unfair to only blame ILCA seeing as they were given unrealistic time expectations to finish the game. I think gamefreak/nintendo/pokemon co. should get some of the heat at least. We should at least be glad they're putting out updates fast to fix things.

@pokemon @NintendoAmerica Brilliant diamond and Shining pearl need some major fixes. One of those bing a fix to the error crashing when trying to enter the underground, I'm tired of losing progress because of coding flaws.

@SirLarr @DonRelampagoo Gamers this generation complain too much.. unless its cyberpunk total disaster.. play the dam game.. remember the Nintendo days. Games had so many issues we played thru it.. gamers complain about anything nowadays

@JCriCreate @D3NNI_yt i've heard the excuse that "it's because 3D lobbies make the nintendo switch and the mobile versions lag!", but... wouldn't it be easy to implement an option to pick between 2D and 3D lobbies to avoid that problem? maybe i'm just not well-versed in game dev enough to understand

Was unable to fix my 3DS, it's whatever the 20th anniversary Pokémon model is so I can't open it all the way to get to it. Also, the copper whatchamacallit for the L button is broke so that's neat. Does Nintendo still fix these things?

@FortniteStatus I still have the screen white that becomes a black but I fixed it with login on a friend's PC to skip the mini event of start and later login on my Nintendo switch and it worked, the issue is the mini event that not leave you play.

@gameartarchive I didn't play this party game for Crash Bandicoot (also playable on Nintendo 3DS/2DS), but Crash Boom Bang (not Roxette song, but a Crash party game during reboot era (2001-10)) are so hampered and unlikely.

@LiquidHbox The Switch, no question. It has a lot of games copy-pasted from Wii U, a stupid word filter, & it stole design ideas from the mighty PS Vita. Not to mention that filthy online service & toxic Parental Controls app. Nintendo's ideologies just aren't what they were before 3DS.

@mitziestjitzy i imagine supporting nintendo would make me part of the problem and a hypocrite no matter what but really i just wanted a controller to use in n64 emulation that's faithful to the original's form factor, something that doesn't really exist in today's market unless you buy oem.

@RockstarGames @GroveStGames Please, fix your game on Nintendo Switch, specially the FPS drops constantly, 15~18 frames while driving, unacceptable

Like the fact that the expansion has justifiable buyer's remorse is an issue. I shouldn't be buying in on a gamble Nintendo gives me an allowance of decades old games. At least with the vanilla pack you can argue the NES/SNES are only part of the package.
