@m_rizky_gumilar @nintendolife No you’re not gettin it. It not being able to run with the other systems causes it to fall behind. It’s not about looking nice it’s about not having the power. That’s the problem with nintendo blind fans. They don’t acknowledge that the system was faulted by its power

@Patrickd3 Dots is still too complex, cumbersome and 'in preview' for me to bother with TBH. Runtime performance was good for this scene (60fps on Nintendo Switch) the issue was the way we authored the content... the meshes took up too much memory, bloating load times and app size.

@Robinator777 @UsagiCola A very subpar Pokémon fan game. The issue of it being taken down wasn't because it was the next Abbey Road, but because Nintendo was removing a passionate fan project off the internet when other companies embrace them. If you want a good fan game/ROM hack, Glazed is cool.

I just spent an hour getting the google stadia demo for #FenyxRising Working so i could unlock the cosmetic set on my Nintendo switch copy. A cosmetic set that i don't plan to ever use because it's kind of ugly. I have a problem.

@cmarguel @ThunderLotus Third. I have same problem, since Dec 25th. Also can't upgrade s/w to 1.4. No error msg. Tweeted and emailed ThunderLotus with no reply. Nintendo doesn't know why either.

@S117Oracle @MisterKidneys @SpawnWaveMedia Fun point. However, Nintendo has always had major online issues. Browsing the eShop at 3am MST & I get lag. ACNH online continuously crashed for everyone months after launch, every other Splatoon match crashes. So while your point is valid, the sarcasm wasn’t needed.

@thurrott I mean, I do like having AA as an option. When I had to replace the battery on the Wii U gamepad (which is required for the system), I had trouble finding an actual Nintendo replacement. All the knock-off ones had terrible reviews and apparently died within a few months.

@haylsho yeah i mean i don't know how much i can really blame them for not adding it to 3 dx, because it's a port of a pretty low-profile game in a pretty low-profile series, and even nintendo apparently had trouble implementing it, let alone the people they contracted out for the port

@JeSuis_Red @DefiantAsUsual @OrdinaryGamers If Nintendo didn't want people to be inspired by their IPs, why make them in the first place? I'm not talking about legal rights here. SEGA embraces their fanbase, as any creator should. Nintendo issues legal action to theirs. Just because it's legal, doesn't mean it's admirable.

Thanks Nintendo for taking 6 hours to fix your eShop with 0 communication involved and also **** you Capcom for this mess of a demo release **** off Having that said Time to sink in

Changing regions for the Nintendo Account (from US to Japan & Singapore) doesn't solve it so its not a region/ping issue for sure Changing the region on the Switch was not effective either. If both doesn't work on fixing the stutter, I highly doubt its an internet issue (2/4)

@KaijuZilla98 @Wario64 Nintendo servers had issues last night. I checked and saw confirmation on their website. Was mildly irritating as I had just bought something from the eshop.

@AnaiTheBear It’s okay you can say Nintendo. And that’s not really… it’s just how it is I guess. If they don’t hold onto their rights to their games it could cause some problems but at the same time their fans might be disgruntled. It’s all very complicated and I don’t fully understand it

Happy to announce that Theo's joycons are drifting again, which means another several-hour ordeal to get Nintendo to agree to fix them (again)
