It’s been over a week and @NintendoUK still haven’t redelivered or refunded me my £200 lost parcel. Absolutely terrible service. That’s a lot of money to throw away. Next time I buy Nintendo products I will go argos or Amazon. more reliable. 😖😖😖

@StarBruneDai Like, BRO. IT IS NOT HARD TO CALL OUT CRUNCH. To this day I feel horrible for the people who developed metroid prime 1, because the guy who was directing it was LITERALLY DOING NOTHING NOT WORKING AT ALL And after nintendo realized what ******** was going on, they *******->

I can't even get a full 100% completion because the DS doesn't have the Nintendo wifi service anymore lmao. One of the emblems is just connect to the leaderboard. Oh well, It'll be a 100% completion in my heart

@burantsu I don't know if its Nintendo fans or Just the vocal smash fans that cause these problems

@CloutStrife1st Still an odd choice imo. Only Nintendo has any real leverage to do something like this. Would be a bigger issue if the other two companies pulled something like this. Regardless of shortage it’s not like they were hurting to move any units. Especially in a pandemic world.

@Perfidy_X @IGNDeals @IGN Yeah but nintendo does just fix it for free so it ain’t too big of a deal

@PMortensonjr I did indeed buy new ones! They have been broken for quite a while. I do want to have them working again, but your right. I don't trust Nintendo to send me my original ones.

Begging Nintendo to just swallow their pride and admit drift is an issue so I can actually trust when it's fixed

I'll say again: I think the OLED Switch design was prepped for a 4K Switch Pro revision, but with the chip shortage Nintendo *probably* delayed the new SoC to make sure they didn't have any trouble with production bandwidth.

Someone tell me why @NintendoAmerica hasn't revealed Donkey Kong 64 for their N64 additions to #NintendoSwitchOnline. Surely it's not a licensing issue if Banjo-Kazooie is there!! #DK64

@Tenvert @Arty_Michelle I have a friend that has been using it for quite awhile now and they haven’t said anything about having any drifting problems yet but it is possible Nintendo did fixed joycon drifts (I also have the SS joycons but haven’t used it a lot)

@Pikagames64A @dannyphantomdi1 @NintendoAmerica I'd be fine with that. If they just sold the new tablet by itself directly though their own store, it'd reduce the logistics issues with retail, as well as helping reduce the risk of customer confusion (i.e. someone picking up just the tablet instead of the full set in a store).

@DollarDiligent Of course there aren’t anymore “models” planned, as the “OLED Model” is a one-off naming convention for this classic Ninty half-step. And it hardly matters anyway, as Nintendo has zero problem denying something’s existence until the day it’s released. I could go on.

@TastefulNewts I suppose that's the biggest issue I have with Nintendo. They could (and do) release barebones titles and we lap it up because the polish is great. I wish they pushed the envelope a bit more with some of their releases and had more power to do some exciting stuff.

@NintendoCoLtd Roger that but can you fix the multi hit moves on Zero Suit Samus in Super Smash Bros Ultimate for the Nintendo Switch so that they function properly and actually work? 🤝

@Dragonsmana The fact that Nintendo even answered to this BS is telling us a lot. Same guy told us about PS5 yield issues.

Seriously @playasia we going to play more games with Tormented Souls now right after In Sound Mind got pushed back to next year? Seriously? What seems to be the ongoing problem with you all and getting these released? #GamersUnite #RETROGAMING @NintendoAmerica

@MiKAuditore @JoeMiller101 Dude, you are taking way too many Ls right now. Xbox is lagging behind Nintendo. Freaking Nintendo. And still can't have a single win since their 360 Era. Where so many people felt 360 was destroying PS3. Xbox as a whole still has a lot to prove.

@yamijiisan Eh, it's the closest thing to it but it's not the same :/ I'll never ******* understand Nintendo. "Hey, here's a free game we can advertise exclusive to our system and online service! It's simple but enjoyable! Oh, you like it?... Too bad, it's gone." Just... Siiiiiiiigh.

The problem will primarily affect popular devices, such as iPhones running iOS 9 and below, Android phones running below the 2.3.6 software, Windows computers running software prior to XP SP3, Sony's PS3, and PS4 game consoles, and the Nintendo 3DS.

@DANNYonPC @NintendoCoLtd What does 2021 have to do with Nintendo being underpowered. Nintendo has ALWAYS been underpowered since the N64 and that has never been an issue. Stick to PC if you want power Danny PC

@thegameawards nintendo switch online is my favorite n64 game at least being on that hardware gives nintendo’s online a reason to lag as hard as it does

This stuff is already a pro game of telephone, but covid (which brings manufacturing issues) makes internal plans even more fluid/hard to pin down. I think it’s silly to think nintendo isn’t developing more than the OLED, but also know even true leaked info can be outdated fast.

@undeadisntdead i had to switch to frontline at the end because i didn't like teams inability to turf 🥴 but my fave weapons do be dynamo splatling and scope 😩 im annoyed because both clams and zones are one win away from ranking up but nintendo likes to give me unable to connect errors 🥴🥴🥴

@koyehtikephyo @9to5linux I avoid any NIVIDIA products that I plan to run open source software. Only my Nintendo Switch has NVIDIA hardware. I have no interest in open source software on the Switch until Nintendo shutdown their on-line service (many years from now).
