@Cat222Duck Crash can’t get in because Nintendo has no ties to Activision.

@NintendoAmerica Fix your game. Bring friendly fire on smash online doubles. Or stop producing cancers like Sephiroth. See a few Kirby Up B spam online, try it out on a flat map. Broken projectiles. #SpamCity #FixSmash #SmashBrosUltimate

@AboutNintendo While I do think Nintendo could've done a better job communicating, it's obvious they knew something was wrong when they pulled the update immediately, I don't think a company that didn't know about an issue would be that quick to draw.

@ExpansionLord @AboutNintendo i still think Nintendo ain't in the right and we shouldn't praise them either. they haven't acknowledged officially the problem, they haven't offered a fix, and they even lied about it in court and won. in australia, I still need to pay to get my joycons fixed. its still bad.

@basedpersona4 @AboutNintendo No lie, but Microsoft is like "Settle it outta court" and Sony hasn't offered a clear cut fix for the PS5 controllers, so you have to buy a new one most likely. At least Nintendo will repair your joycons free, hell even buying parts to fix it is a non issue.

So, some good, bad, and hopeful news: Good News: I contacted Nintendo about my ACNH save issues, and they were able to help restore my island save... Bad News: ...but, the save that got restored was also corrupted. Hopeful News: Switch is finally being sent in for repairs.

@ExpansionLord @AboutNintendo i can give the pandemic a slide as a reason for slow communication but im sitting here praying Nintendo lose a global lawsuit because I refuse to pay $600 to fix all my joycons. $150 a controller, its so awful. im actually better off just getting new ones; they're $120...

@Woomy37992203 @_CSenpai_ At least you guys get some good games with Xbox while you're paying for its online service. Nintendo Online only gives obscure NES and SNES games with less than a dozen good ones (and also they’ve only added a few since launch) Plus the service doesn't even work really lol

@KanesTheName Nintendo once accidentally sent me a box of eight repaired joycons after I sent a single one in for repair. So. Their repair service is kind of an embarrassment. I couldn’t get in touch with them to return them, either.

I'm not hating but the "game" part of very popular video games (ignoring Nintendo) started to die when Microsoft released Halo on PC. Thank goodness Crash and Ratchet/Clank are back, I think Sony & Microsoft realize that the casual gamer market is worth pandering to.

HDMI Passthrough / OneGuide makes using the Switch easier as I don’t need another HDMI cable to my displays / switch box. It only outputs 1080p60 max so there’s no limitations. Input lag isn’t really an issue for Nintendo Games. Why did it go on the Series.

@ouma_nakamura I keep hearing that but it honestly looks incredibly shallow from the outside. I've considered playing it but I liked the old loz formula and haven't played past Windwaker so if I have the urge I've got plenty to play. I guess my bigst issue is that of nintendo post iwata.

@McTroid Yeah Ik, I gotta get to playing Prime one of these days (and I’ve wanted to for AGES now). I’ve just been waiting for Nintendo to port Prime Trilogy to Switch, and since nothing has surfaced on that front i’m probably just gonna fix my Wii U gamepad and buy it on Virtual Console

@AAPanzetta @daimon_shaw @Stealth40k That’s not the problem. The problem is that Nintendo is trying to sell us a 10 year-old game running on an emulator for the price of a triple A game. No matter how good the game is, that’s a worse deal than 3D Allstats

@VOOK64 @Serrels I got the green/pink ones from Game UK because they weren’t available locally at the time. The green Joy-Con now drifts, and I can’t get it fixed because it came from the UK and Nintendo Australia won’t fix it

And as of now, The Playstation has been the dominant competitor, with Nintendo and Microsoft running into issues since 2013... Nintendo failed with the Wii U, and Microsoft had a bad start with the Xbox One, despite recovery, still came last place to the Switch and Playstation 4

My one hope for Skyward Sword HD is that they fix how the game keeps explaining collectables you've already collected every time you turn the game off and on. But knowing Nintendo, they'll just make an amiibo that has that feature instead.

@Lubidius aw man, ebay would have to be it. Hopefully none of them have a broken analogue stick... Nintendo closed down all production of the 3DS now that its irrelevant, which is a shame too I really loved the 3DS...

@geoffkeighley I can’t judge until I get a PS5. But you should add best gaming service as a category. Then maybe Nintendo and PlayStation might try to compete with game pass.
