Whatever the hell was happening with the Nintendo website for Xenoblade 3 Special edition was horrible. 1. No news about pre-order for months 2. Opens preorders with less than a 24 hour notice and the website did not load so they close it to fix the issues. more in thread

@GloriousKev I love how Nintendo still does that. Having a focus on story is my biggest problem with modern Sony games, not saying they're bad because I did enjoy a few of them it can just be annoying.

@ShadowRockX Hopefully in future updates, we'll get more Sega Channel exclusives on the Nintendo Switch Online service such as Pulseman and Mr. Nutz.

@monsterhunter @monsterhunter there's a bug (on the Nintendo switch) that if you gather a normal wirebug (and sometimes it happens randomly too), all game sounds will disappear for a second or two. Idk if this problem is widely spread tho..

@FromOutback @Riddler_Khu @TyranitarTube Which is the problem. So the other idea would be, to bring it on the same date, which would be the 8th July. We shouldn't forget that Nintendo is from Japan and we have no idea how much they care the holidays in america, but neither i think they will ignore it. We will see.

There's indies and fangames which is the only thing to compensate in these departments. The issue with the latter being some people get too comfortable using Nintendo's IPs for their projects and find themselves at the end of a C&D situation. It sucks but that's the way it goes.

@Amethyst_Roo From my understanding a conversation surrounding doing something like a collection Pokemon titles is being explored though. Despite what people think Nintendo is aware of this issue. I wouldn’t be surprised if Gen 1 magically appears on NSO within the next 2 years.

I am beyond frustrated with Nintendo about this. How the hell can they run a company like? If the game was something like Mario or Zelda and there was an issue like this, they would have taken the time to actually fix something. But even then I'm not sure they would!

@spiviggy @Blun_Z Xenoblade Chronicles 3 special edition orders were exclusive to the Nintendo website - the website could not handle the load of people who'd simultaneously login. Made a couple minute process take several hours for many

@poobii_ They have all the disadvantages of a wireless pro controller (signal interference, having to set up and disconnect from diff set-ups, drifting oml) but worse, less ergonomic, and cost way more than one for some reason It’s a ****** nintendo product but otherwise not rlly lmao

(@Twiddiots_today) reported
@NintendoAmerica It's probably asking too much, but Xenoblade fans: please complain at an appropriate time or place, like Nintendo's customer support. The intern won't be able to do anything. Non xenoblade fans: please leave the fans be, you're only adding to the problems by replying to them.

@RawkHawk2010 Wooo!! I have about $900 charges too because of stupid “transaction error” upon check out. Thanks @NintendoAmerica for stealing my money and not getting anything back in return except for pain

Am I making this because I missed the preorders for special edition and I'm upset about it? Yes, I am. Will this be a reoccurring problem? 100% Will Nintendo change? From what I have seen, no. Will I continue to support them as a company? Idk

@SolBadguyxx @breathrock616 @NintendoAmerica For all the talk of preorder hate, I get its a capacity management issue. Why make tons of copies no one will buy. If it was a Kickstarter like preorder, we'd be waiting longer for all the orders to fill, but doing it through MyNintendo seemed like a misstep.

@PurplePadlock @CartridgeGames The problem here is its based on the assumption that Nintendo is making Camelot make these games, when really Camelot are the ones choosing to make Mario Sports games over another Golden Sun (because it sells more).

@Emwithaswitch The real problem (for me) with NS games it's the price, it's too high. I usually buy games for about 10$-20$; Nintendo it's rare when low their prices are under 40$.

Not Telling
(@Angelfoxdreamer) reported
@RiKuutuu @GoNintendoTweet Major release games can cost a lot more money to develop. What makes this sillier is as far as I know Nintendo only solo developed two Star Fox games. One was Lylat Wars and the other Guard. So the issue is more Nintendo doesn't have dedicated team for the series and others.

Hoo boy, I sure do wish I could play Torna. But wait. Come to find out, my account has been suspended for violations of Nintendo's terms of service with no email or anything despite me having not played my switch in like 3 weeks? #NintendoSwitch

Something funny I remember was when SMT If was revealed to be a part of NIntendo Switch online service in Japan last year, someone said that it sucked that the west wasn’t getting it. Someone said in response that it was the worst game in the series so nothing was being missed.

The fact, that the Xenoblade 3 Special edition pre order just, got put back up with no announcement at all and that none of the issues from the first time got fixed just, shows how incompetent Nintendo is ajdnajf
