@ActualAero @zigzag501 They even said it once! The majority have a phone, a computer and a voice chat app Ne bear minimum for Nintendo to do was to make a simple text service with your console friends There's no way to contact friends you met ingame to ask for social media or whatev's..

@Thelostzelda @caiokendx @NintendoAmerica None of that matters in the slightest. That isn't the point. The point is that the option to buy it and support them is not possible and there is no realistic reason for it. Some people do not want to pirate. Nintendo does not want people to pirate. Do you see the issue now?

@bremner_robin @chigrl Lol we were opposite, we had joystick and paddles but paddles were broken. We always wanted be paddles, until we got a Nintendo that is.

@questauthority But if you want to write a runtime that will support existing Java applications there is only one way to write those declaration files. And *alot* of things depend on this sort of behavior. For instance all of those emulators like DosBox or Nintendo. Or AWS's Memcache service.

@LigmaBalls01 not really cause the xenoblade 2 themed one fixed the multipress issue on the dpad and i assume the later collab models would as well. didn't hear about nintendo releasing fixed default pro controllers after that

What happened to mascots? When I think Nintendo, Mario instantly pops into my mind. Microsoft, Master Chief. Sony, though? Crash? Nathan Drake? Kratos? 🤔

@Butler258 It’s beyond a joke. Nintendo keep saying we can send it back for a ‘free’ fix. Frankly I just want a product that works!

@GifZelda @radzero83 I still have mine. A near complete set - minus 1 or 2 years when I didn’t resubscribe and a few issues that got lost while moving. I also have some Nintendo Fun Club News issues that came out beforehand. 👍

@lnc0 @NintendoUK I would definitely restart your Switch (do a hard restart by holding down the power button and turning it fully off) and if that doesn't work try redownloading the game. Never had that issue before so I hope that helps!

@Dungeon_Geek @Estevezche @Romudeth And PS Now was out before GP. lol Even though Sony brought its own renting service out first, they present it in their own way. So does MS and Nintendo. And that’s fine.

UPDATE: I think it’s an issue with my Wii because the Elgato is fine with a Nintendo Switch

I'm guessing then it's not a rights issue, but a cost, technical or legal issue with getting the games working outside of just running them on Nintendo's official emulator.

@FoolhardyMTG @ghirapurigears I guess I mostly take issue that you think Nintendo is catering to the competitive crowd, when that crowd would very much disagree. Not to say there has been nothing given to the comp. crowd at all, but catering? Many would argue the opposite is happening.

@NintendoAmerica @animalcrossing @buildabear Issue super rare items as NFTs and have them be freely tradeable online. This would bring back a manority of players who got bored

@adesyndicate Problem with fan games it's that it's a grey area. You are using property of someone else without permission. I've read the problem with Nintendo is that it's not just a guy taking decisions. Some people are ok with fan games, some are very strict old school japanese managers.

@ForShantae I’m gonna say one more Nintendo character and one more 3rd party. As for first party, no idea but you already know I want Captain Toad, 3rd party is definitely gonna be Crash or Rayman.

@CoreyYuhas @ChaseGarland3 Well Nintendo don't have the rights to sell the original rom of the game. But they can still recreate or make their own versions. So there's no legal issue in recreating the original game as long as it's not the original rom.

@JirodaArt Makes it hurt all the more how anti-ROM Nintendo is. Or how they refuse to make these games properly available through some kind of backlog or virtual console service.

@artur @nintendolife I think my real issue is that Nintendo is the company named in the headline and throughout the article, when it clearly shouldn't be about them.

(@VGDensetsu) reported
@Glowsquid @Arc_Hound The low selling price + the royalties to be paid to Nintendo meant that the margin made by third-party publishers was low. The FDS was developed in large part to bypass the cartridge size limit (32kb). Problem: this limit quickly disappeared.

(@ItsMyHeroZero) reported
My biggest problem with the Switch is one I knew about beforehand: the lack of achievements. I don’t know if I should be mad that PS/Xbox/Steam have gaslit me into being dependent on them to maximize my fun, or mad at Nintendo for stubbornly refusing to implement them.

@Pinsplashy Is there any way you could feasibly turn that into your job? I'm sure there's got to be some Source game mod Patreons actively going on. It doesn't seem like something Valve would have any issue with, unlike a Nintendo or likewise. Donations could be for you, not the mod itself.

(@AisforInterval) reported
i'm not even gonna complain about "why are they doing this instead of adding features to acnh", cuz the merch dept is totally separate also, nintendo sees themselves as a toy company first and a game company second, which is how they survived the video game crash of '83
