@StudioMDHR Are there any plans to address the issue on Nintendo Switch where A is not recognized as confirm if it's registered as the shoot button at the start of the game?

@Leafbro97 Another vald complaint against Nintendo is the drip feeding of classic games and the quality of them for the online service. There's no god damn good excuse that most of the games are basically 3rd party trash.

@Cronos_Cross @HSugarCookie @Necrodaemon they're pretty much self-service replaceable, you can get the parts direct from Nintendo as well as replacement kits on Amazon with the special screwdriver needed to open it up.

@LizKatzOfficial @Outright_Games @NintendoAmerica Noticed the same thing when I popped this in for my kids. It was so distracting for everyone it killed the entire experience - we were all just waiting for another glitch to break the game. We haven’t played it since, and that was probably 4-5 months ago at least.

@artdesignbySF I guess my problem was shopping at walmart. There must be so much fraud that they couldnt release a nintendo. It was too risky.

Nintendo kneecapped the Switch’s performance and developed quite possibly the worst exFAT storage driver known to man. Surely there has to be a way homebrew can fix exFAT, and I feel game devs should be able to force the CPU and GPU to run at higher clock speeds

@BombosMedallion The issue is (for Nintendo, at least) revealing it in October would kill sales potential for the OG Switch for the holiday season.

@GameSpot This headline is such a bad take. Both satisfiss demands to different audiences with different appeals. People who want to play Nintendo games ( no emulation no chance of issues) will get the switch PC games who want their library on the go, steam deck is for them

@LizKatzOfficial @Outright_Games @NintendoAmerica Just bought that for my kiddos and noticed the same thing, but just assumed it was some lag on my side or something

@andyb2383 More people should be fighting back against that tbh but I get your point. Still, I will personally never give Activision/Blizzard a single cent until they fix their problems. Nintendo not preserving their legacy isn’t really a big deal compared to **** other companies do.

@KevCayde79 @GuardedMutant @pyromanc4 Yes, let's calm down until MS can make a run at Nintendo. They're (barely) going back and forth with Sony, and still, frequently, in last place. Especially so, now that it looks like Sony is fixing its supply chain issues.

@ZwiezenZ Oh I agree, but I think that's where the problem lies when it comes to the majority of Switch "portable only" champions. It's not the performance, it's not the functionality or the tailor made experience... It's the "Nintendo nostalgia".

Holy crap... I managed to replace a Nintendo Switch joy-con thumbstick thing, to fix the drift, all on my own... It was a bit fiddly for sure, but far cheaper than buying whole new controllers... Thanks to @iFixit for the parts and the guide... #nintendo #joycondrift #ifixit

If Nintendo ever did a service to claim 2-4 games a month it'll be 10 times better than Games with Gold

@JohnnyZaccari Square Enix really has no excuse for NOT making a physical copy of the first Kingdom Hearts for the Nintendo Switch. The Cloud service is absolutely nothing but a scam.

@FallGuysGame I’m on fall guys on my Nintendo switch and I’m trying to invite a friend but when I do it shows “oops an unexpected error has occurred” and when that happens it won’t go away and I can’t see my friends list, and this has happened 5 times even from closing the game completely

@DistroKid you sent out a copyright stike on my animal crossing stream Im guessing for some music one of your users uploaded but they dont own the rights to it. That music belongs to Kazumi Totaka and Nintendo. Fix yourselves and stop trying to steal my ad revenue

@Gekitetz_orig I feel yha, in video Games I am pissed Nintendo is only selling Xenoblade Chronicles 3 Special Editions through their online store and the damn Scalpers crashed it. So now it has been weeks since the crash and Nintendo still wont say when they are takeing preorders again.....

Help I'm currently at over 21 million score in a 4-hour Marathon (Endless) run, which should land me somewhere in the top 50 for the Nintendo Switch leaderboards, and now I'm scared I'll accidentally close the game or it'll crash or something. 💀

@SirBrayden Actually in CA Universal's biggest problem is going to be disability access for the lower lot. The elevator and tram combo isn't going to cut it when Nintendo World opens on the lower lot, since it doesn't work well now.

@SM4FN @ExpandDong15 @TheNCSmaster From what I've heard, Kingdom Hearts 3 has had problems on the newest PlayStation consoles, so it probably would not work on the Nintendo Switch.

@OnslaughtRush Gonna just drop in and say, I don't think the issue was eliminated... entirely Basically, when Sonic runs on that one dome thing in this footage, you see him stick to it, the issue still persists, its just he's running off a harder edge in the Nintendo footage.

@NintendoAmerica I’m not seeing that your servers are any better. Your website will crash again and you’ll loose more money which is not good for the bottom line.
