@AdamATLien @NintendoAmerica Joycons can have drift issues. They have been sued over it several times. Mostly tied with older models of the console.

The swapped location of the A B X Y buttons on the Xbox and Nintendo controllers is the biggest problem with video games today. Don’t @ me.

@The_Gibus_Man isn't Sakurai technically not working at Nintendo?

@LarryKoopaBest the Costume of Mario is actually more reliable than the "?" Block, to compare yourself with 1 fix measures. Also, the Statuts are not considered to be the real one, even in the Super Nintendo World, so if you see a 1,55 or a 3 meters statuts of Mario, you can count it as "real"..

the Cyberpunk 2077 fiasco just reminds me that... none of the top Switch games made by Nintendo or for Switch have had these problems.. and it's why it's clearly a superior system :P

@RoseFromTheAsh0 A GBA can get broken in a few drops cause the materials is weak, a Nintendo 64 may break but it's not a handheld which can drop but still much fun to play on

@GhostShadowFNBR Make sure all connections you have that you can use to sign in with [google, twitch, steam, *github*, microsoft, psn, and nintendo] are all secured with a strong password that hasn't been in a breach (I use firefox lockwise for this, I don't know about haveibeenpwnd)

Satan designed the Nintendo E-Shop. The login, and purchase UX is horrifying.

@The_Gibus_Man @tj99er No actually they're both quite wealthy and in a great position to issue a demand to Nintendo to change their IP policies, with a threat to resign in protest. Perhaps you've heard of basketball players or Google programmers doing something like that? They just don't care... sorry!

PAPER MARIVIAN: THE ORIGAMI CHILD
(@franciscoluis04) reported
I want 3D All Stars mainly for Super Mario Galaxy :(( But I ain't paying full price for 2 games that are outright garbage for me XD Literally Activision remade Crash Bandicoot's first three games for only $40 with more features and what did Nintendo do? Emulation. Ironic lmao

@MADICOLLINSXO I heard that too. Tho I’m not sure about Nintendo. Hopefully they’d offer the same deal if players had problems with it as well.

@Stealth40k I miss the early days of Nintendo Power. I would read the same issues over and over and draw things out of it. To be a kid again!

@ReviveRadiata 400.000 is good enough to revive jrpg to today's market. I know that the team behind this game eventually make radiant historia for Nintendo ds, so does that mean that the problem is because the devs were already disbanded? 🤔

(@PushDustIn) reported
@RobRmanX yup in the end, Nintendo is making DLC not just to keep the game relevant/for fan service, but to push additional copies of the game and the fighter pass. They need to make their investments back and be smart about it. Making DLC is expensive!

@brentalfloss The New Nintendo. (Running out of good names is a possible problem, so just add "new" and nothing else)

@zel_kinne @Sora_Sakurai Crash, Bandana Dee, and Dixie Kong. Though Crash is the only one I see as reasonably realistic, since Nintendo isn't adding first-party reps unless they're advertising.

@botmaster9000 @ReMukora That is nowhere near the extent of the issues? Said licensing fee is usually way cheaper than what nintendo wanted, and there's actually support there.. and that's also ignoring everything else nintendo did...

@JasperRLZ I swear there was also an issue of Nintendo Power that had a two page spread about what happens inside of the warp pipes and how they could hypothetically work. I cannot remember which issue it is for the life of me, though :(

@RudyBlackman1 @GoNintendoTweet The legality doesn't matter. The evidence of it being legal matters. Nintendo didn't hire them or acquire the rights because it is not their problem. The Big House needs to defend themselves. The problem is that The Big House is doing nothing to help the situation!

@kaijinzero Pokemon is even under the same company. Nintendo gives that scene more support than smash and they've got more issues than smash does. Nintendo is shutting down tourneys that would be run with 0 risk of that stuff happening too. Y'all didn't say this w Minecraft con either.

Honestly Nintendo needs to fix the drop rate system so players who don’t play often have a easier time to get the seasonal DIYs and the materials to make them. Heck, even mushroom season was awful for those who don’t time travel like me. I got tons of shrooms still...

@kylekrenek @MikesBookReview Sounds like there’s an issue with the switch then. Second gen switches shouldn’t do that. I would contact Nintendo. They are really good with the warranty the switch comes with. My kid has fornite and plays it endlessly on his switch and it doesn’t do that.
