@Ryan_Lewis_64 @GOWENYT The only games that seem to not be broken on release are the first party Nintendo games. Everything else releases half finished

@ZMYaro I think you're giving Nintendo a lot of credit here. They could have presented this in any number of ways but they just kinda snuck it in at the end of an Animal Crossing direct to say "our promised better service will cost double!"

@paulyhouly @slambrechts I had a small issue with it myself. Turns out I didn't have my Nintendo Online account linked. Something which has to be done from the Switch itself.

I really ******* hate how Google can't just let you use the Google Authenticator on multiple devices, and instead forces you to transfer it over to a new one. I don't have the phone I used when I set up 2 step verification for my Nintendo account, so I can never sign in again.

I know it'll never happen but I wish Nintendo would apologise for whitewashing Tetra when she's revealed as Zelda and fix it if they make a Switch port...

@davidscottjaffe David, as an industry Vet why don't you do a video covering the biggest problem in the industry... That being planned Obsolescence. Nintendo Apple Microsoft Sony & Every single ******* company who makes disposable online games all practice it. It's not just light bulbs & clothes.

@DynamoSuperX Man, I didn't realize the dislikes were that bad in comparison. I don't think the price is going to change, but perhaps this might coax Nintendo to announce or tease more for the service in the future, to increase value.

@AJAX_HQ I could be wrong with FoD. But I understand hating Yoshis. NC got issues bro. I love the stage too but until Nintendo puts out a standstill background I don't think we can much about it.

@davidscottjaffe I've never understood why people swear allegiance to a piece of plastic. Sony, Microsoft, and Nintendo all do things that I love and hate. I have no problem calling out their BS because that only helps them improve.

@gamespite Just call them and they’ll fix it. That said if you DID have google auth and then got a new phone it would have broken and even the backup codes wouldn’t work haha Ha Anyway Nintendo’s got it

@DynamoSuperX People frigging hate the service, plain and simple. At this point, I think Nintendo shouldn't even put Gamecube or Gameboy games on the service. I wouldn't even try it if I were them. This is essentially a third strike, as this happened with NES and SNES.

@sandiano8 I mean yeah but Banjo is known way better as a Rare/Nintendo character who was bought by Microsoft and Steve is seen more as a PC or even indie character more then an Xbox character Not any problem with that tho

@Cimarus2 So, it's Steam issues. Steam been like this once in a while? Might be silly question but... I never played games for 9 years until last year via Nintendo Switch and then Steam. So I had no idea if that is norm or not.

Y’all REALLY gonna release a new Mario party game instead of just updating the broken one that already exists, huh? This is why I hate Nintendo.

@IGN This isn’t a Sony, Microsoft, or Nintendo problem this is an online Commerce problem, they’ve got to figure out how to stop bots.

my problem with a lot of nintendo games is that they'll have a really good campaign, but when it's over, that's it. it has no extra content other than maybe difficulty settings, and will often not get extra SP content. Mario Odyssey really could have benefitted from this

Lmao at Nintendo charging $50 a year for an online service w/ that still uses friend codes, has no built in messaging or party function, doesn’t give you bonus AAA titles like their competitors, and still has pretty laggy servers

Yes, the game has had a rough release and the Switch version is still buggy until Nintendo approves the patch. But even in it's current buggy state it is still fun to me. Personally if you have a PC it has the most recent patches that fix issues so I highly recommend it.

@VivianJaydeK @kruljoch @NinWire That's not necessarily a problem. Nintendo has already worked with that trope fine with Peach.

@KingOck99 @REALMadMax1960 @maemsy_ Has mudkip ever felt the embrace of anyone? Apparently not since they feel the need to mod an officially licensed game. Could get you in trouble. Maybe even sued since you're modding Disney's character out of Nintendo's game because they have an agreement. And you love to whine.
