Tried using my @rayconglobal everyday earbuds with my Nintendo Switch after the recent bluetooth audio update...very disappointed to find there's a significant lag that is not only distracting, but also makes music games like Project Diva impossible to play. 😞

@RobertLouisRob3 @NintendoAmerica @PUMA Nintendo is just like EA. "We have a vast amount of games as a part of our subscription service" *Has not even 100 unique games*

I'm still surprised Nintendo added Bluetooth headphones support to the Switch. No other game console has done that, aside from the Vita, which did it badly, with noticable lag. I wonder how long they were working on it, and what changed their opinion about it.

@gamesyouloved Find roms to emulate. Playing on official hardware is too expensive to start unless already available to you. (Eg utilize Nintendo online service)

@JohnnyZaccari I'm not expecting nintendo to do anything with NSO tbh, its so late in the game, I'm not not even bothering with it, they really dropped the ball on this ever since they implemented the service

@NintendoAmerica Now maybe GB and GBA games on the online service? Or, you know...ANYTHING!

@RealGamer27 @TWTHEREDDRAGON Nintendo and PlayStation gamers don’t need to rely on a glorified rental service to enjoy video games.

thinking about how at a company retreat they had us write down what we wanted in life and I wrote “the confidence to feel okay when I’m lost” and my friend wrote “a Nintendo wii” and I got a broken compass and he got a Nintendo wii

@nintendolife Oh goddamn it Nintendo. You got me with the N64 and GB games coming to switch but u gotta ruin it with a higher priced tier for a semi functional service

@SithFrogKermit @SlimKirby Fortnite is a different story, because once upon I time I was the same way (though I wasn't very good, took me hundreds of games to get a single win), but with Nintendo games, EVERYONE suffers from your poor internet. If you lag, everyone else experiences it too.

@NBA2K_MyTEAM any word on a patch/fix for the ascension issue on Nintendo Switch? Multiple users reporting the same problem and my son is incredibly frustrated since he saved up to buy this game himself!

@CharMayCry I thought Nintendo were supposed to fix them for free? Least that's what I was told when I bought my Switch.

@younghavok @DangerDontTouch I can't see Nintendo competing with gamepass, not even with their own games, Nintendo execs couldn't find their arse with both hands, useless, but Sony could make ps now or even ps+ a compelling service in that timeframe.

@casulcr @TWTHEREDDRAGON @Optimus_Code Lmao what? Nintendo idk, but sony being indie friendly?? LMAO, hell no, they are exact opposite. A lot of indie devs have trouble putting their games on ps store, or get any marketing for their games. Look it up.

Wish me luck that my first YouTube video with a copyright claim dispute goes well. I tried to post a Playthrough and it flagged a part of video that’s repeated throughout the video. Has anyone had an issue like this with Nintendo/Pokémon games? Any advice?

The new Nintendo Switch Bluetooth Audio update broke a few of the PokeHatcher scripts... I have new versions ready that will be uploaded by tonight. Scripts affected: MasterballFarm, WattFarm, BerryFarm. The new scripts will resolve the issue of the extra menu items being added.

@NintendoAmerica Can't find anything anywhere about what's going on, but when do you plan to fix the Mario Maker 2 server(s)? At least some info about what is going on and why the server(s) is down would be nice.

@JaxMagnetic the N64 has the exact same problem as the Wii U where it's actually not *that* bad from a hardware level but Nintendo just had to do something that gave anyone outside of Nintendo the absolute worst time developing for it so they just didn't bother, but for different reasons

the 3DS port of Star Fox 64 is ******* awesome and the fact that it's trapped on that system is a travesty. It begs to be on Switch. @nintendo please fix asap

@knucklesthehot @divangreedy88 @nrm824 Aysper is exclusive to Xbox and Nintendo for their titles of Star Wars games that was originally on Playstation so I have no clue to what's going on over all but I don't have problem with it, as they say it is what it is.
