@Jay15851610 I wonder what this mysterious error code was trying to tell us. We'll never know what went wrong, because even Nintendo didnt recognize the code. How does even happen, they made the system!? lol

@_Vampragon43_ @SauceMcGavin This is the problem Nintendo now has. 720p doesnt upscale to well to anything. 1080 does. So they have been sacraficing graphics on all their recent titles to make sure they can hit 1080. Nintendo controls the pokemon company. IT has 77% share holdings of it.

@NianticHelp HELP..Hi, I'm having trouble connecting my Nintendo Switch to Pokemon Go. I'm able to connect all my other devices on the app except for the Switch. What can I do?

@geis_shane @XcloudTimdog It's good to hold Xbox accountable if you're a fan of the platform, I think the problem is that Playstation & Nintendo fans don't really hold their platforms accountable. This ABK deal is divisive but at the end of the day, the deal falling through would be a bigger hit to MS.

@TheGunz77 @Kyozenno @NintendoAmerica So you’re confidently stating something has been free because that service is being changed to no cost in the future…..?

@psykotronn @MldGhost Doin pretty bad since Nintendo double /triple their sells of games compared to Sony and even still are king. XBox on the otherhand is more like a service, the console is a gimmick

Bought another 15 Switch games today despite my Switch still being in repair with Nintendo. I think I may have a problem. It's all @realkamakozzy's fault.

@Dave19Brown83 @NintendoAmerica I also understand why people thought there would be something more as far as spin-offs go like Mystery Dungeon or other older games for the online service like Pinball or something on Pokémon Stadium 1/2. Didn’t help that 95% of the direct was mobile games.

@TheFonzPart @NintendoAmerica It’s $35. I don’t see anything special being offered for owning both games and both game’s expansions, so who is expecting you to spend $70? All signs point to that being a “you” problem, not something caused by Nintendo.

@MldGhost Here is the thing if it was a true even 3 way market with Sony, Microsoft and Nintendo having each 30% market share and fighting over the last 10% Would Sony be in financial trouble in that version of reality 🤔

@sirvenni @DelusionPosting Like come on. It wasn't theft, it was just confiscated until the end of either the class or the school day. If you can't go a few hours without your nintendo, without getting physically violent, maybe there's another problem there?

After discussion and review of the tech (application, potential issues, community feedback) by @AJAX_HQ and @FpChavo Steve will be banned from Vortex/Events we run starting March 1st. We will review this if necessary in the future or post any patch if ever by Nintendo

@LoveRetroBTW I've had issues with the newer generation of both Nintendo, and Microsoft controller, especially the Nintendo ones. I tend to go with 3rd party controllers anymore when they need replacing because of this.

@_Vampragon43_ @SauceMcGavin The new zelda is 1080p and the trailer ran at low frames... A bunch of the new 1080p nintendo demos are laggy as well. A bunch of the games that released on switch this month are lagging to. Metroid Prime is dropping frames constantly. This is a Nintendo problem.

@normal_andy @Bendo2Levi And it shouldn't be that way especially given every countries inflation issues which when it comes to games in the uk hits us harder given how stronger the £ is plus the high street then trading less then selling high so late comers feel it worse. Nintendo is always a flash sale.

@FirewynnTV @SauceMcGavin If you make excuses for one problem, there's always another problem without that excuse. Game Freak has a laughable deadline for their game's release, and Nintendo has no control over that, as GF is part of the Pokémon Company.

@DelusionPosting I guess they missed a key element in the story. He brought a Nintendo to school. He was playing with it during class. So they have no problem with basically doing whatever you want during school hours. I'll bet they didn't graduate at the top of their class.

@OhNoItsAlexx Again, if Sony is in trouble without COD, how in the hell is Nintendo even around at all? How did Steam last those few years without it?

@Mivics_ Honestly, I don’t think there’s any reason to complain about the game, I get that Steve is broken in a lot of ways but people need to understand that Nintendo isn’t going to come back and the only way to get past is to keep pushing or quit. 1/2
