nintendo's N64 emulation for switch causes game breaking bugs in paper mario. doing various things (hitting trees, dying to bosses, seemingly random stuff) can crash the game and delete your save files, which is really cool

@augamr @Innthacut @BITech Sony making as much as Nintendo and Xbox combined right now. Not sure they care it’s “not working”. When you can run a gaming company that can do that, give them a call. Bye.

@NintendoEurope we bought a Switch a year ago for my son, and we’ve had nothing but issues with it. Recently it was sent back to Nintendo to fix it, we had to spend £120 for it to be fixed and returned… and it’s returned TEN TIMES worse. It doesn’t work!! I demand a REFUND! Help

@The__Goomba Unbelievable that Nintendo didn‘t fix joycon drift by now, right? I love the Switch and it‘s so successful that they basically print money with it, but that ongoing problem really spoils the fun…

Its been over two and a half weeks since we've gotten a Nintendo switch Grand Theft Auto trilogy update #RockstarGames the game is far from optimal on switch. very far. I swear to God if y'all don't fix your game I'm never going to buy another Rockstar product as long as I live.

An error with Nintendo Switch Online wiped out 8 hours of progress in Paper Mario, taking me from 14 hours back to my save file when it was at 6 hours. This is despite saving at every save point etc. Won’t be going back to it now.

@PIayer_4 @PracticalTAS literally but I think problem is TOs getting access to moddable switches and also if we do partner with Nintendo we prob gotta get rid of that

That I DEFINITELY take issue with, and where I know Nintendo DEFINITELY could have done better. I still kind of like the N64 NSO app despite all its shortcomings, but what point is playing some of the heavy-hitters for the N64 if you can easily lose your save data?

@NintendoAmerica See, I would buy a new system. But why would I when I got one that constantly drifts even though last year I spent $100 to send it to you guys to fix it ‘permanently’. No reason for a new one here.

I almost forgot about my Etsy Listings for the Joy Con shims I 3D print (the ones used to help prevent Joy Con Drift (I'm not sure why Nintendo hasn't found a perma-fix for that flaw)). I will still continue printing these when I make a sale on there, but I will improve them.
