@BradSmi Would other Microsoft and Activision/Blizzard games also be able to go on the switch? Like say… Banjo-Tooie, Perfect Dark, Jet Force Gemini, and Conker’s Bad Fur Day on the N64 Nintendo Online Service? Or is this deal for one specific franchise only?

@connorcarried @NintendoAmerica your game is bugged. I would love for the team that worked on it to come back and fix this problem.

Another problem I find strange is Mipha’s love for link. They could’ve made Mipha normal because she looks like she has great potential of character but she just ends up being a predator for a kid. Maybe Nintendo didn’t think this one through or their just like any weird

@hodgetwins First of all, what is a student doing with a Nintendo? Fix that problem first, then work on parents and discipline of parents, children, and teachers. All needs discipline but was never taught. Go to Sunday school and church. Read the Bible and fear God. That is what's wrong.

@alexhcranz @rjcc @kellymakena Nintendo should absolutely make a more powerful version of the Switch, but gotta put the blame on GameFreak for the Pokémon Scarlet/Violet frame rate issues. Hoping the upcoming patch fixes some (or most) of those issues!

I loved @NintendoAmerica as a kid, but wading through the maze of setting up a child account, broken 2-factor authentication, having to pay to play online, etc. for the past hour tonight just to make sure my son could play Pokémon with his friend tomorrow sure was a drag…

@ChuckCallesto Problem: obvious… why in the h*ll are phones, Nintendo switches… etc allowed in any class. You’re there to learn, your at school… All items not school related should not be allowed in the classroom..period

@whirthun @thatskygame ah that makes sense. We didn’t crash at all yesterday for like 40 minutes and then suddenly crashed when my friend thanked me for Uber lol. I’m sure it’s harder to send quick fix updates through Nintendo as well. Thank you for letting us know! 🙏

$42 to repair a broken controller that is barely a month old is ******* ridiculous yall are so terrible lmfao @NintendoAmerica

@Grayhaem @aasterisms To me the problem really is the effect it has on 3rd world countries. With this pricing, buying AAA games became impossible where I live, especially Nintendo titles. I wish they'd implement reagional pricing like Steam, because paying 1/3 of the monthly minimum wage is inviable.

@ChuckCallesto Why are you mention his skin color? The problem ist not his color it’s his mind. Just because she took his Nintendo switch he went crazy. This boy needs therapy till his retirement. But again don’t focus on skin color.

@ChuckCallesto This right here is the problem with the next generation. When you don't abide by rules, some think it's OK to rebel with violence. It's a slippery slope. All over a Nintendo switch console. I mean, come on! WW3 will happen in the next 5 years. 100%.

@Keinlieb @iamrhondamary It's kind of trial and error to be honest. I bought a old original Nintendo and then my cousin also did. We couldn't get either to work consistently how we wanted so we just pulled them apart and started swapping parts until it was fixed then went from there lol

@Puertorock77_ @muzdbuz The Issue is, that Sony do it a way more often then others. Probably Nintendo do it as well and Probably MS do it, but Sony seems to do it a lot and they don't even need to, honestly.

@ChuckCallesto Let me fix: this JUST IN: 6’6” 270 pound male student attacks a teacher at Matanzas High School for taking away his Nintendo Switch during class... Video reveals the unconscious woman being brutally assaulted and struck in the head roughly 15 times.

@Avariscerator I think a big problem with this kind of defense is that much of the content we're getting SHOULD have been in the base game already. Nintendo strips their content, releases a game early, and then drip feeds said stripped content to us a "free DLC"

@thesombergamer I'd blame this one more on gamestop than nintendo this time at least cause gamestop's had that issue with a lot of games lately

@hodgetwins The problem with the kids is that 50% or more parents would be more angry about the teacher for taking his Nintendo.
