@MouthOfKala I think this is similar to the "Nintendo removes sombreros" issue Its less about it being offensive and more the fact that we dont really care and think its funny/entertaining. At least thats my opinion on it

Anyone else having issues with the UK 3DS Eshop? Been slow for the last week. Preview videos won't play. Just made the mistake of buying Shin Megami Tensei IV and I can't download it. @NintendoUK #3DS #EShop #Nintendo

@srgm86 @Xbox @XboxSupport Steven your are just being irrational at this point. Yes, it is a digital console but not a “streaming” console, Steam, GOG, PlayStation, Nintendo don’t have these issues. Playing a single player game offline has nothing to do with a server outage. Online DRM is NOT working.

@SpeedyBoiNoel @chozosoldier How would Nintendo implement backwards compatibility? Think about it, Nintendo is very different from Sony and Microsoft. The biggest issue is the different type of physical games from cartridge to disc. Nintendo also has a deeper history meaning digital was not a thing back then

@TheJokester_MrJ @NintendoAmerica I agree, the same for me, the first two games Collectors (+ Torna physical, which I was able to put inside the XC 2 CE), and... now... this is gonna be a problem for me... If I miss this one... I'm gonna be very upset with Nintendo (even having around 300 Switch games)

@CoronaNLimes @Cloaked_Onyx @Xbox It has everything to do with it, when Xbox is the only console that does it. Nintendo is reselling old games again and again, and putting them behind a subscription. Playstation does the same. I'd rather put up with a little outage sometimes, than buy the same game again.

@theprincessxena I dunno, digital transactions make consoles really unintuitive for me, worst of both worlds. I bought my daughter untitled goose game in the Nintendo store, but it only worked if I was logged in and only on one switch and it was so much trouble we ended up buying a cartridge.

Nintendo: cloud based games, shoddy online service Microsoft: Netflix but for games (not good) Sony: live service games, single player games with drm Pick your poison. Or just go retro. Oh and buy physical

Kutdown on Gaming
(@kutdownOngaming) reported
@Nick_Marseil Yea after yesterday CLOUD GAMING is NOT the future! Cloud gaming solely dependent on internet connection, if a player can’t access their digital library it’s useless! Sony, Nintendo and MS Need to fix this asap! We need access to our games offline as much as online

@Dazwassup Just an FYI if you didn’t know Nintendo fixes all joycon issues for free you just have to fill out some form online

@DJK1NG_Gaming They don't release them on PlayStation because Nintendo moneyhats them, or do you really want to argue there is an audience for Octopath Traveler on Xbox? There is also plenty of successful niche JRPGs on PlayStation so that isn't an issue.

Our relationship should be like Nintendo 64 classic, fun to spend hours with and every issue is fixed by blowing on it and shoving it back in.

@TAHK0 I wouldn't have a problem with this if Nintendo wouldn't try to people forget the Miis since 2017. Switch didn't even let you use the Nintendo Account Mii while some of their mobile apps do. Also, after BotW and Miitopia, the Miis definitely have a chance to evolve.

@AzurenGames Playstation can fix customer support and refund issues Xbox can overhaul their achievements Nintendo can make millions by releasing Mario kart 64 to other platforms They all can fix their game prices.

@helyearelyea The game was 24 bucks but i had the xbox version i didnt had to buy it i only pirate games for my nintendo consoles just because they dont sell them in my country and pricing problems

@ExpandDong15 I don't think Donkey Konga negatively impacted the brand. The issue was the fact Nintendo did nothing else with DK for ages.

@TOKELINK @LarsKnoll Or they can just issue Pokémon cards. Just give them a unique ID. The blockchain part is supposed to be about trustless relationships. Nintendo is the trusted party here. So why make it harder than it needs to be?

Spoiler alert: I think Nintendo's "Free Content" updates AKA their "Fix It Later Approach" is a terrible business practice and it needs to stop. We need a good amount of content at launch instead of a game that plays well that's light on content. #MoreContentMatters

@Black_D_Gamer1 Yeah not going to lie sir, what is the issue here for this anime game? Bad localized translation? Censored content? Because I know Nintendo isn't one to be censoring as bad as Sony

Also not to mention it can't run properly on nintendo switch, I have to restart several times because the game suddenly crash in the middle 😤 not the best rune experience but at the very least I enjoy it because of the soundtrack, environment, and characters.

(@SyntaxSpeedway) reported
@Sigilynk Yeah, it feels Nintendo have been trying to make these games feel like live service games recently, but it's in a weird half hearted way that doesn't really have any of the positives or negatives, so I don't really see the point
-
CartridgeGames
(@CartridgeGames) reported
@ExpandDong15 So he was right for thinking that but you don’t agree that it did? Donkey Konga didn’t do anything to the DK brand, the rise of Guitar Hero a few years later show that it was a good idea The bigger issue is that Nintendo didn’t have a dedicated DK team anymore… like now, haha

'Cause like, why would FORMATTING it, when its having MEMORY ISSUES cause this??? You'd think it would free up the memory & allow it to work but NO! & I'm so pissed! Its infuriating that Nintendo made not only a bad console, but such a bricky one ontop of that!
