@Cipher348 @ParagonNHJr @OnTheDownLoTho I only ever seen that complaint with Pokémon SS/Legends. The thing is Nintendo has little control over the series and there are other Pokemon games that look pretty good (Snap,Pokken, MD DX). It's Gamefreak and their schedules that are the problem.

@NintendoAmerica how has this been a problem for 5 years? Everytime I try to redownload Fire Emblem Heroes it gets stuck on 89 and never finishes.

@HopCaterpie @Nintendo Japanese internet vs American internet. Japan's government subsidized a fiber-optic infrastructure. Our cable companies hate fiber-optic, not even Biden's infrastructure law can fix that.

It’s an absolute embarrassment just how broken @LSWGame is on the Nintendo Switch. So many game crashing bugs.

@The_Katbot @IGN Seems less like a Nintendo problem and more like a western work culture problem. Sucks, but it is what it is.

@NintendoAmerica Red bus will crash those still demanding Xenoblade Chronicles 3, DLC, WuHu Island, and NOT giving this bit of Switch Sports trivia a chance.

@The_Katbot @IGN A bit misleading. The discontent is coming mainly from contractors. That's not a Nintendo problem, it's a contractor problem. I was contractor before in a big IT company and I experienced the same negative things the article is highlighting. Being contractor sucks, anywhere !!!

@Tristama_ So please stop defending Nintendo and hold them to the same standard as the other companies instead of always justifying them. Their broken products like joy cons, employees being mistreated, destroying the smash community and more needs to stop. Period.

@Reecee_yt I’ll be happy when they add Golf, which should’ve been included at launch. I have a feeling they might do something like they did with Mario Kart 8 Deluxe and Animal Crossing, hopefully there will be free DLC with the Nintendo Online Service.

@GenePark What are the chances gaming follows the same pattern as streaming movies? Nintendo service, M$ service, PS service, Epic, Steam, Amazon, Apple divide up what's on their platform. We've already seen Game Pass games come & go from the service, so it's already following suit.

@halforcforge The green gas ones are excellent. For trigger squeeze practice I used a broken Nintendo zapper and dime way back in the day before I had money. Lol.

@LMANPAD22 @JJ_Pr77 This is about contractors, not the employees. The article make it clear that the problem is about the difference in how the two are treated. The fact that Nintendo treats its employees well didn't change, even more in other branches.

@atmikemind @TheBitsGuy2002 @NinEverything No. Firstly, the fan-translation isn't legal. It is allowed to exist because it's probably more trouble than it's worth to go after it, but Nintendo working with them would be the least Nintendo thing Nintendo has ever done.

Idk man I'm just reading the Nintendo contractor article and it's painting it as a Nintendo issue when it's a giant issue across so many industries??? I'm not excusing Nintendo but the thing is so many people get abused by companies and you can't just stop at one place

@TipToeTino @cornbreadyellow Nintendo 64. That's usually my go to for a nostalgia fix. Either that or Super Mario 64

@NintendoAmerica I think that N.T.M/N.M. knows that your not treating your contractors as equals and he knows you're not treating them fairly so he suggested that you fix this because they deserve to be treated like the nintendo employees are being treated as well so please fix it now.

@yggdrasilsaltar It's an industry-wide problem and not Nintendo-specific but that doesn't absolve them of their behavior. It just means Nintendo isn't a safe haven like people try to pretend it is. I agree though. I hope bigger accounts bring it up. Change starts with awareness.

@NintendoEurope Hi, I can't seem to complete the "Use this app (Nintendo Switch Online)" mission even though I'm looking at the mission through the app, do you know what might be the issue? I tried restarting the console to no avail.
