@Leolyloo To bad that’s all garbage as the hyrule historia is nothing but a fan theory Nintendo profited from didn’t stick with. Can’t have a true timeline if you deliberately leave out the Goddess of Time who’s one job is TIME. Problem solved. You can delete them jpeg now. :)

@MrMortensen I found a Reddit topic with a lot of people having the same problem. I'm guessing there will be a patch, but I'm going to contact Nintendo using the online Live Chat to see if they can help.

@MojangStatus @MojangSupport Currently in consistently and have been having ongoing problems with Nintendo switch not being able to connect to PC worlds… We have restarted Minecraft multiple times, restarted our systems multiple times, and restarted our Wi-Fi multiple times… We are tired of this.

@lunarlibraries @NintendoAmerica Both my switches are on the same account but with different names and emails it is complicated. Have the family plan for me, my daughter, her friend and my son but I bought the happy home paradise for both my switches no problem and got the dlc on both too.

@raspberrylimes @NintendoAmerica @animalcrossing I thought I was having the same issue! I realized instead of hitting A on a color choice, you have to hit the + sign on it now instead

@IGN I'd like a proper Virtual Console service, and maybe a ton of retro re-releases that don't have to be part of the Virtual Console section. Also, what if Nintendo tunes up the Nintendo Switch online servers just in case MMOs like Destiny and Destiny 2 get ported over?

@IGN It'd be real nice if it actually said "Nintendo improves and expands their switch online service"

@LuigiBlood Think that's the problem with Nintendo's abysmal rollout of games. People start to see it as a zero-sum game where getting Winback means not getting Earthbound or SMRPG or whatever. Which is dumb, bc it would be so easy for Nintendo to stick a bunch of cool ROMs on there.

@CJP_Libra @IGN No. Nintendo gets unproportionally away with it. Think Ubisoft or ea releasing something bad. They get rightfully bashed. cd projeckt . Rightfully held to a high standard and put through a whole storm to try and fix it. Nintendo does the same and gets defended out of nostalgia.

Not shocked with Nintendo being in the design phase for their next console. They've stated multiple times they want the Switch to have a longer lifespan than past consoles. Unlike the Wii in its later years, the Switch has tons of momentum. If it ain't broke, don't fix it.

@SleepmodeAU Both Bluetooth and wires will work so long as it's not a Nintendo controller, then it's just Bluetooth. But native ps4 is flawless, and I've had no issues with arcade sticks.

@bigray1981 @theRealJayDub2 So this Nintendo service is basically the PS Plus and Xbox Live equivalent?

@NintendoAmerica @animalcrossing It seems I am the only one who can't play the ver 2.0. The version is 2.0 and I bought DLC. Can't climb the fixed ladder I just made or see the one (kappa) who can take me to the new islands. Will send emails to you later. Hope you can fix the bug soon.

@RenOsln That's what Nintendo says about gamepass too it seems as their service on switch now have surpassed gamepass in paying users.

@mcswitchlite @Sharito742 @PushDustIn nothing wrong with that, and if anything we need *more* gamers 50+ but when people my age sort of hijack the fanbase it becomes an issue because Nintendo is catering to our demands rather than to kids or a general audience would love more games my parents could play too

It came back after I left my house. So it's a reoccurring bug where quitting and re-opening the game doesn't help. Fix this soon please! @NintendoUK

@JonComms Just use a fog machine in the room your Nintendo Switch is located in. That'll solve the issue and then some.

@SuperBupDX @NintendoAmerica If it can only be activated by not doing something specific, then yes, it is entirely likely they tested it and didn’t notice it happening. You can’t account for every possible action and potential problem. Not everything is Cyberpunk 2077 just because a bug happened.

@NintendoUK For some reason I still can't see the 'Invite Camper' option at the kiosk, so can't use our Sanrio amiibo cards. We have a fully established island with Resident Services building and invited guests living here. Is this a known problem or is there something else we need to do?

@NintendoAmerica @animalcrossing thrilled for the update! Just a couple issues: 1. The merry-go-round is causes lag when I walk past it. 2. “work it” and “act natural” are two mirror images of the same reaction. I hoped to get the angry reaction Flick shows when you talk to him.

@NintendoAmerica not sure if I've mentioned this before (yes I have) but I've been fighting on Omega form for the past 5 fights on Smash online. Please fix this. #FixUltimateOnline
