@RareWarington The Switch has been a disaster hardware-wise. I've never had a Nintendo console with so many problems including controllers. They need to take console production back to Japan and get the hell out of China.

@MonkeyDLenny What’s the problem about asking for something better? Pokemon company and nintendo seem to always make the lowest effort possible on pokemon games, and it’s totally fair to ask for just better products.

@jimmyfallon #TheyNeedToFix the Nintendo Switch Online Expansion Pack because of Nintendo 64 errors and too much money.

@ReasonEddie @NintendoAmerica That makes no sense. If it’s an issue it’s an issue. Doesn’t matter how you bought it. And it is part of the expansion pass, whether you want it or not.

One of many reasons latley I am not so keen on Nintendo overall but its mostly a shame that a well taken care of system not only boots up carts but just randomly has an issue I cannot seem to adress... Any ideas would be great but as its gotten worse think I've given up for now😔

@misorahibiki11 @vita_quest While that is part of the problem, Pokemon Company 100% has the resources to pour into the company to make the game good. But they don't care because they know it'll sell just as well as their other games anyway. They're just like Nintendo.

@Growlithography Ratchet and Clank, Jak & Daxter, Crash Bandicoot (I liked cartoony platformers okay shut up), Mario Kart: Double Dash (nintendo pls gib MK:DD2) and... hm.... WoW, probably, tho that was more mid-to-late teens. I don't play any more but I still put a LOT of hours into that game.

@LovelyXboxGamer @NintendoAmerica Why are you attempting to ratio when they actually do something good with the service be real the ratio wouldnt have fixed their online you just want the clout from pretending like you did something.

@eIixirsoup @NintendoAmerica Not at all tho. Motion controls aren't that bad but if you want to play the original controls, just play it in Handheld Mode. Easy fix if you don't like the new motion controls.

@kingboozx3 @NintendoAmerica It's not the most optimal way to play, but it isn't unbearable either. People exaggerate the problems of the Switch version

@splodem @Wario64 actually Nintendo does have more polish and quality control and sales finished games compared to companies that release broken games on ps5 and xbox.

@metanetsoftware Hi, my family and I love playing N++ on the Nintendo switch in co-op mode but it sporadically doesn't save our progress and it frustrates us. Is it a known bug? We won't continue playing til this issue is fixed. We wasted many hours of gameplay, we have screenshots as proof.

@TheLastSylvixen ocarina of time fans when they play it on the switch and they experience input lag, fog issues, framerate drops, audio issues in multi-player, and the game crashes on them and they lose all their save data because the official n64 emulator by nintendo is so gof awful

@QuestForTori You did get to play PS1 games on a handheld if you bought them digitally, plus you can play those same purchases on a PS3. Despite the issue with load times, that was pretty rad. Nintendo didn't even get that right.

I really hope Nintendo fixes the issues with n64 online soon because I really want to play Ocarina of Time on the switch

@paudzmcc03 @NintendoAmerica Tbh I bought a stylus that works on Switch and had 0 issues with it. The controls aren't perfect but if people have a stylus or 5 bucks lying around, it makes the experience so much better.
