I know Age of Calamity isn't canon, but I'd like to think that it is and that after Nintendo went through the trouble of essentially unifying the timelines so BotW didn't have to worry about timelines, that koei tecmo then split it into as many timelines as they could.

@MyNintendoNews Any kind of compensation for the issue? I mean I make sure I'm purchasing original nintendo software and hardware to make sure everything will be ok and that this kind of issues will not happen. But they happen anyway and the ts you provide is not working. It will never work

@NintendoAmerica And are you guys even going to make more at all? Enough people complained about the same issue with the nes classic and super nintendo classic, and you made more then enough of those that people had a fair chance of actually getting them, so can you please do the same here?

@NintendoAmerica Please fix your Switch firmware. Everything since 12.0.3 NOBODY has been able to download anything... whether it's a necessary game update or new purchases from the eShop. How and why did you guys allow this to pass your quality assurance???

@ExpandDong15 @Vet_093 Crash is actually kinda huge in Japan. I remember seeing some fanarts on Pixiv where there were a bunch of nintendo and anime-styles game characters and randomly they put Crash bandicoot on some of them (with it's japanese design of course). So it's still on the tables IMO.

@NintendoAmerica Paid for it, can’t play it due to firmware update gone awry. Fix it Nintendo! Not cool.

It might seem greedy for Switch owners to ask for games like Earthbound when there are so many cheap titles in the online subscription service already. However, you have to remember that Nintendo tried their hardest to demolish the largest online archives of NES and SNES ROMs.

@LisaAEG @NintendoAmerica I'm unable to download or update. You are not alone and nothing is wrong with your switch. We need to wait for nintendo to fix the issue :(

More people seem to be running into the Switch download issue. Just remember that Nintendo recommends that you clear your Switch cache when this happens

PS: error in the tweet above, as shown in the tab it's an average of the last 20 tweets, not 30. Anyway, I'm so impressed with BTS.... Beyond that, I started this because Nintendo and Marvel seemed to have a similar popularity and I wanted to know which one is the most dynamic.

@Stealth40k I feel like it’s best to keep it the way it is. Nintendo got Strikers and that’s pretty much all I needed to be satisfied. I don’t have a problem with SMT V being a Nintendo exclusive. To me it actually kinda makes sense since most of the SMT games are on Nintendo consoles.

The structure in which the nintendo joycons where placed in is miserable. Taking apart it and putting it back together new and improved is a complete nightmare. @NintendoAmerica fix ya damn joycons and rigged internals, taking it apart without a ribbon falling out is insane.

@wallace_navarro @thenumber9door @NintendoAmerica We are talking about a game where I have trouble beating the “kill X amount of enemies” stages because I can’t freaking find anybody to kill. And those stages aren’t running at a stable 30 FPS
