@Gl_acial @IGN Yeah, it's an issue that all the Nintendo haters are making up. I hear about it so much that I once thought it was real while I was playing Super Mario Odyssey and my camera started moving for no reason. It was getting to my head and I bought a new pair for no reason whatsoever.

@NintendoAmerica I actually like where they're going with this. I can imagine that games like Kirby and the forgotten land, xeno 3 and fire emblem 3 hopes will get dlc packs that will be added in the service. Add gba games and this might actually be worth it.

@DCUO Just downloaded on the Nintendo Switch but can't pass the "Press (A) to play" screen, no buttons respond. Is there any issues with the Switch version right now?

@GameSpot Yup, this company actually lost one of my joy cons I sent in but Nintendo fixed the issue with a free replacement

@BanditGamesYT They’ll NEVER have it together. Ppl who are diehard Nintendo fans have me like, why? They **** up SO. MUCH. Obvious decisions are botched. They truly don’t care about their fans. Games that DO make it over to switch (2 years after all other consoles) have all the issues too. Sad

@AndreSegers Not to mention Nintendo has stated that they have “no plans to offer classic content in other ways”, meaning that they are killing off the Virtual Console service for good. If NSO does not carry over to the successor, we’ll lose the library when the servers eventually shut down.

@WavePrism_ Sooner or later we will get that Nintendo accidentally caused a video game conosle making crash consoles obsolete.

If Nintendo is at fault and something is done about it, then that will make them change for the better. …But only Nintendo. Contractors will still suffer, I don't think it's remotely fair to pin the blame entirely on Nintendo and sweep the the rest of the problem under the rug.

@MoonPrismOpal @IGN Nintendo CAN'T do wrong, that's like their thing and they do it by hiding the negative comments or ignore it until it fades 🙄. But this problem hasn't left them lol. Bring on the lawsuits.

@32DaCrow @NintendoAmerica I don't know why I've been so aggressively against this service in particular. I guess I should probably open up to it more... but I already have most of the things offered, so it's probably too late for me personally, but if you wanna get it, gold for you!

I'd love to get hyped for Splatoon 3 but Nintendo are so bad at doing anything related to online that I have no doubt it'll be plagued with all the issues Splat2 had

@Loutredu_Bengal @tykulton @MinuraNakatawa BOTW is another perfect example of all those problems, yes. And the fact that Nintendo seem intent on sticking to that design template for the series going forward is really depressing. I'm over here hoping Fromsoft don't do the same thing.

One thing I can definitely say though, I don't think this is a Nintendo specific problem. Instead of saying "Nintendo is ******!", maybe we should be saying "US contractor culture/law is ******."

@Padillac_16 @TheKevstermania Yeah, but a few notes: Nintendo offered a physical version. Ninty fans were pressured due to the limited edition factor. If they didnt buy it, scalpers would. (I never Side with Ninty fans cause they can be insufferable, but scalpers are a BIG problem for Nintendo stuff)

@NintendoAmerica How about you give us a service worth paying for? Also, how about the option to buy games out of your back catalogue. Stop locking these old games up in the Disney Vault while you slowly drip feed things to the ‘service’.

@RocketLeague trying to connect to my twitch from the Nintendo switch and when I click link account under extras, I get an error message and the game restarts every time. Is there a way to connect the switch to twitch?

@LazarusRobin Oh cool, it's coming to the Nintendo Switch Online Expansion Pass, that adds just more value to that part of the service. I already have this piece of DLC, was pretty dang good from what I remember.

There clearly is some bad **** going on with management and how people are treated at Nintendo of America and probably other divisions. ******* fix this. RIGHT ******* NOW NINTENDO.

@32DaCrow @NintendoAmerica Now that I think about it, I don't know why I've been so aggressively not towards this service in particular... I guess if you think it's a good idea and think it's worth it, you do you. Your entertainment isn't my issue to deal with.

@AndreSegers I 100% expect even weird Nintendo will carry the NSO premium service to the next system, it's full switch BC I'm worried about. Nintendo only ever made 1 home console that was BC, the Wii U. They did a better job with handhelds... But idk nothing is a given with Nintendo.

@SilentBirthday2 It's just the joy cons but I'm too ******* poor to get any replacement, I heard there's a Nintendo service that fixes them for free but I don't think that's available in my country.

(@MoonPrismOpal) reported
@IGN This isn't a good look for Nintendo and the fact that they refuse to own up to it is even worse. You'd think they'd tweak the design of the joycons to prevent this from being such a prevalent issue, but nope. Just continue to spend $80 on something that will soon drift.

@MetroidDatabase The issue was it seems like Nintendo didn’t understand what a bounty hunter actually was. They called her a bounty hunter but the definition in their mind was not what we know a bounty hunter to be
