@ballsmcnuts1 @JonTheMadhatter @IGN I mean, everyone is telling nintendo that they are wasting money, for not even trying to re-sell their library of games. We are saying it for years, they don't listen, not our problem. I know back when the switch came out most even said they would buy the whole VC library AGAIN.

@firebreather764 @Ichikyo57 Some do get censored here and there but it’s very inconsistent. They still allows many fan service stuff and then a game might get hit for something less. It’s nowhere near as bad as the blanket censoring Nintendo did for decades.

@TeamYouTube The YouTube app seems to be glitching when ever I move left to right or up & down. It's only on my Nintendo switch version of the app any ideas why this is? and is there a way to fix it?

@StarioHD @CuboneFan125 The problem with this theory is that Sakurai was very clear that he did not choose the DLC, Nintendo did.

@qtrcirclejab Listen, at least Nintendo Power had the good grace to have walkthroughs in their issues.

@AlfredMaster18 @konekobagel @GenshinImpact Again, it's not a primo problem. "There will be great announcements" and there were aloy and orchestra, two things already announced. No new news AT ALL. People still waiting for the glider and the Nintendo switch version out there, not just for primo.

@MikuZando @NobuSouji @Genshinmem Like I said, it's not exclusively a hardware problem. Mihoyo obviously doesn't have much experience with consoles. And with Nintendo sticking to a garbage hardware of a console, it probably isn't that exciting of a venture for Mihoyo.

@nndn010 @NintendoAmerica Interesting, I guess they wouldn't add permadeath, because there would be a lot of problems for the story, if you let Dr. Strange die. I just hope it has a similar feel. Thanks for the info!

@Saberspark In my opinion, Nintendo and the Pokemon Company as a whole are the issue. They know that new games are console and merch sellers. So, they basically have Game Freak push out a new game every year using graphics that they’re not used to (ie 3D ones). It’s not feasible.

@TeamYouTube @TeamYouTube. I have a problem with the YouTube App on the Nintendo Switch... Every time I choose to which videos I should watch by scrolling, the screen glitches Can you please fix this issue with the YouTube App on Nintendo Switch?

@DarknWindie @Saberspark Joy Con drift can’t be a serious problem or even exists, that would imply Nintendo makes shoddy products and can’t have that. People shouldn’t have access to our games from the GameCube era because they might prefer them, which would imply that we’ve regressed! Can’t have that

@a_aronfoster1 @NintendoAmerica I kind of agree with you, but I don't think the problem is that they're textures are low res. Lots of games have low res or no textures on surfaces, just solid colors, but they do it well. I think what you're picking up on is it lacks charm that other low poly games have, and...

@Aerthian7 @GenshinImpact I hardly doubt this is a mihoyo problem, more like a Nintendo problem they also take their sweet time porting games on the switch id suggest to get a sim card for you phone and use your internal storage for genshin only, or save up for/ ps5/pc/steam deck if you want a cheap pc.

@InfamousBigRob @NianticLabs I mean, we made our voices heard on 8/5, and they said they’d get back to us September 1. But instead, they fixed the issue 20 days later and before the deadline. Given that it’s Niantic/Nintendo in the room, i’d say 20 days was swift✨

I'm gonna be honest even if we ever see a mm3 it'll never capture that lighting in a bottle of the original. Nintendo has no interest in appealing to their diehard fanbase and most of the issues from mm1 to mm2 came from an obvious disconnect between those players and nintendo.

@abmbernation @GenshinCollect Ya, Nintendo might not even allow a collab. It would be amazing if they did tho. But, one problem is that Genshin characters have a lot of in game dialogues in both character voice over menu and in Serenitea pot. Since Link never speaks, he might only have grunt sound voice lines

@Slade4Lucas @CrashSpyroBanjo @AidenRS139 The only problem is butthurt smash fans who don't want to play anything other than their favorite games and never branch out into new territory. I swear, if Shulk got added as Smash DLC instead of a base game character, everyone would hate him for being a new Nintendo IP.

My son’s @NintendoAmerica switch is broken. We have already replaced the controllers and now the actual console isn’t working. We paid too much for it to have this many issues. #mamabearisnthappy

@immagonnaget2 @NintendoAmerica Sorry, but if botw can render trees in the background, then sword and Shield too, since its on the same console. When you are saiyng that there are no trees in the background then it is a design problem, since you try to avoid making it loom empty.
