Nintendo Switch Online Issues Reports

  @TheNCSmaster The thing is Microsoft simply buys existing properties. I can never see Crash or Banjo as Xbox characters. Sony, Nintendo and Sega all had tons of in house devs making their games but Microsoft just buys out studios to get exclusives which is so lame

  @ScruffTail @nintendolife You failed to see my point that, before you calling Nintendo "awful" or "anti-consumer", the things they do are totally legal and rational objectively. You have been looking at this issue with bias and keep stressing how bad it is for the consumers.

  @nintendolife There have been copyright strikes because of music long before people made a big deal out of Nintendo doing it. So thanks for perpetuating the scapegoating I guess. There are worse problems.

  @DynamoSuperX Seeing so many people get the law confused with morale issues here. They are not the same in the slightest. Nintendo are well within their right, whether you believe that should be the case is a totally different arguement.

  @MakotoShirogan2 @LuigiBlood The problem is really that it only existed at two Nintendo-partnered universities (to the best of my knowledge), of which one didn't even utilize Mario Factory. Finding any unit in the wild would be nothing short of a miracle, not unlike the "Nintendo PlayStation".

  @JoCat105 I feel the same way. I mean it is understandable to the current world view in business of "if it ain't broke and makes money, don't fix it." But of all companies I like to see shake up the norm, it be Nintendo doing a major over haul on games like Pokemon.

  @PSLifeStyle @AndreaPichinini At least we can all agree that nintendo has the worst service

  Every so often the child shows signs of ‘Princess-ism’ e.g ‘the bed is messy, can someone fix it please’ and ‘can’t find the Nintendo Switch’ when it has been moved 2cm from where it normally is.

  @benigma2017 @BrettRedacted You’re… tweeting from an iPhone. Outsourcing to China is a big problem that virtually all companies do. Sony/Nintendo products are made in China. Apple is worse than some, better than many: they actually publish a supplier transparency report that most big companies don’t.

  @FortniteStatus the witching wing pack is not showing up in Nintendo switch item shop can you fix this because I was to buy it

  Jamie Noble (@twinhalfempty) reported 18 minutes ago

  @PSLifeStyle YEAH. Nintendo’s got the best online service! Wait….just wanna say, I like Nintendo’s strategy (I bought a lot of the VC titles so to not have to buy them individually again is nice) and don’t really use online so I don’t see the negatives. There’s so many negatives

  @WaitsBrett @Snappy_SSB @Alpharad What average sane person saves in lorelei room in gen 1 with a primape who's only useable move is rage and has no pp restoring items, or usable hms or tms cause nintendo sure as hell thinks that's a genuine issue to create unique ai, so by comparison this is a major flaw to them

  @shawceresita @DynamoSuperX There's just a few problems with that. 1) covers and remixes fall under fair use in many places. 2) Nintendo doesn't own the rights to Undertale or its music. If what you say was actually accurate, the thousands of streamers and let's players around the net would be gone.

  @BillFosterNoTec @ericlettuce @ARedCanadian And you continue to prove the issue you have is that Sony is no longer the biggest dog in the house. When Sony entered gaming, Sega and Nintendo were the bugs. Sony was the electronics, movie and music giant. No revisionist history bs will be allowed in this convo. Sorry.

  @Ardhamon92 @shawceresita @MorsGames How is calling someone a bootlicker when all their saying is that Nintendo and any other company are well within their right to strike accounts that use their copyright? The fact is it is the law, now if you want to argue the morale issue go for it but this ain't the place.

  @Dededaio I feel like HAL as a company needs a proper American division That could alleviate so much of the Japanese-exclusive stuff like the Kirby Cafe, their Twitter posts, it could fix the ****** Nintendo translations, etc etc

  Scruffy (@ScruffTail) reported 27 minutes ago

  @harrylinlisacco @nintendolife Next you'll start condemning people who emulate older games because they can't afford to spend £100+ on Gamecube hardware and games. Which is ONLY a problem because Nintendo refuses to rerelease games in an accessible manner. It's explicitly anti-consumer

  @NintendoAmerica @FortniteGame Lately I have noticed that every time I play fortnite on my nintendo switch after a while it appears "the game has crashed due to an error"

  @Ice_Greninja_ Yeah, it’s ridiculous that there’s no quality wired pro controller option and changing the settings to be “wired” doesn’t actually fix the issue. Nintendo would make a decent profit if they sold, like, a PRO pro controller that wasn’t wireless at all (@thetruebowser hook us up)

  when will nintendo make another style savvy game i think that could fix me

  @zarawesome i think that's a problem for most third-party devs, but game freak has an unusually close relationship with nintendo and i'd be surprised if they couldn't get hold of somebody to explain some of the tricks if they really wanted

  @Dean2__ @DynamoSuperX So why doesn't Nintendo try to sell these songs? That would fix the problem for at least a majority of people.

  Dear Nintendo: If you don’t release the soundtracks of the games whose music uploads you DMCA on YouTube. We are just going to pirate instead. You made the pirating problem worse, as always.

  @PlanoNameHokeB So... Valid criticism isn't allowed because it's a common criticism of the development team at Nintendo and Intelligent Systems? So like.. if there's a genuine issue that lots of people bring up... I should ignore it because it's multiple people?

  @ActualAero Could anyone help: I have Legends as a digital copy on an SD card. If I buy an OLED switch and move the SD card over and login to my nintendo account, will I have to make a new game save file? or will I keep my progress?

  @SMITEGame How about looking into some nintendo switch issues as well? Can't play conquest without dc. Can't even check everyone's items. I'm tired of getting deserter penalties because your **** servers disconnect me.

  @zarawesome I remember when all the big gaming companies were struggling to migrate to HD 3D, and Nintendo seemed to be doing just fine. Of course it really was just Nintendo pushing it off for a gen, and they had all the same problems. Oops.

  @TheKrustyKoopa Ultimate: very good the online for most of Nintendo’s games: a pathetic excuse for an online service that they make us pay for
