do I know if it's stolen?" Wtf? They also couldn't print out a 5 eShop for Nintendo? Other people have done it several times without any problems. Also one of the women who works there has a severe attitude problem in general. Some things I like about GameStop, others not so much

@jpegstripes Hust joking about nintendo seeing glitch exploits on the snes emulators and then going and patching old games! My joke just flopped.

@MegaSilverX1 Probably not as big as an issue as it was with the Wii, since if you linked those systems to your Nintendo account you can just use the website or switch

@WinderpTV No, it was a line of... strangely chosen bestselling Wii games for $20. I think the 3DS and Wii U had it too. imo it came far too late in the Wii's life, but with how well everything sold on the Wii I guess Nintendo didn't see that as a big problem.

Nintendo has to be the one company that hates free advertising and I will never understand it. They literally want people to not post anything about Nintendo Switch Sports online at the moment. They also don't offer a service to sell their music which makes no sense at all.

@E_Wonder85 @NintendoAmerica Thankfully it will just shutdown new downloads of it when that shop closes but the subscription service will be free at that point. Obviously it’s not going to be free forever since there will be a time when those online services will be shutting down

The game in its version of nintendo switch, is crap, every time it takes me out of the game with an announcement that says "the game closed due to an error" please fix it @Hungry_Shark @Ubisoft @UbisoftLatam #hungrysharkworld

@ChristinaTasty See, the source of the problem here is people like her who fail to call out that Nintendo does the following: 1) Release new system. 2) Release only sporadic games from previous generations with inferior settings to even the original versions. >

Like 99% of the people jumping on this issue are just using this as an excuse to hate on Nintendo while pretending to be "right". Probably never bought any games from Nintendo and have been pirating games WAY BEFORE this issue started.

I was able to preorder Sol Cresta on the My Nintendo Store, but preorders are not even open on Steam or Playstation Store. It's not a problem for me, but huh?

I’m pretty sure Nintendo is never patching Tidal Toss in Mario Party Superstars lol, that game’***** stun is BROKEN

And now using this issue to justify their pirating when THEY ARE THE REASON why Nintendo can't maintain the eshop and operating the servers on a loss.

shame because i was REALLY looking forward to a good wii sports like experience on the switch. Do the right thing Nintendo, fix these issues before launch. Also: no frisbee golf or basketball announcements? Those games were so fun in Resort. This needs work.

(@ShellTurbo) reported
@BeamoFan @PolarStar64 Yeah and the issue is that soon none of these games will be sold officially, only through third party physical copies which Nintendo doesn't make money from anyway and those that want to play the games will be forced to pirate if they don't have the money yet or don't find out

If a game is only obtainable by secondhand sellers for $300+, rather than being reasonably provided by the publishers, then there’s a problem, there. Nintendo’s decision to revoke that preservation is their decision - sure, but you can’t convince me that it will help anyone.

@Vet_infin Now the bigger question, how can it run graphics pretty well without making it sound like a jet engine or food processor is going on? If it doesn’t do that it solved an issue with the Nintendo switch ngl

@ModernVintageG I know it's not really a game, and getting it through legit means has far passed (since it's tied to My Nintendo, a long since defunct service), but I'll say Flipnote 3D, as it technically fits the definition of "3DS digital only title".

The boy who cried "NYEH!"
(@Zalno) reported
Also, a Switch port of Star Fox Zero will likely never happen. That game was specifically designed around the Wii U gamepad, which means porting it to a single-screen console would mean more drastic changes that Nintendo likely doesn't want to spend money to fix.

@dlusardi99 pink gold peach/metal characters(just make the metal box an item at that point as it's just a waste/a justifiable reason why people want nintendo kart.) though didn't have a problem with the baby characters more they should've included other characters alongside to balance them.

@PolarStar64 Instead of their terrible online service, where you don't even own the games. If Sony is willing to listen to the fans and maintain their old stores, nintendo has literally no excuse.

That's when I realised why service like virtual console took so long when you can just dump some open source emulator on it and be done with it. Nintendo actually have to step in and play test everything they releases. Minor inaccuracies or major emulation bug is not allowed.

@ProChara Would you rather have no mpu in the game or have nintendo fix soloq and get functioning servers
