@tompoasting I was the magical Nintendo game guru, because people would describe the problem they were having with the game, and I would say that I would think about it, and I would come back the next day with the right answer, because I was the only kid with the Internet at home.

@NanoPolymath @Wolf23169 @infrarogue89 No they haven't haha, Jim Ryan literally said in his interview recently he does not see subscriptions like gamepass as the future but rather live service games. Course they ain't gonna admit PS/Nintendo are the competition when MS have been losing to them for 20 years.

-because the Nintendo Switch has more issues than any other consoles has than you think. 5. The PS4 and Xbox One consoles needs the love too because firstly the PS4 will continue to get updates (confirmed by Sony), and secondly the Xbox One will do what PS4 do & continue updates

@PQubeGames @DualEffectGames I hope a update patch comes soon for the Nintendo switch version of tormented souls. The #ps4 got one update so far, but im having major crashing issues with the switch version but its still amazing game waaay better than those silly Outbreak games on switch. All those are bad.

@NintendoAmerica Unfortunately the online multiplayer has really bad input lag that makes it difficult to time the shot bar. I hope a fix is on the way, because it makes it really hard to play consistently.

@NintendoAmerica i keep getting this whenever I put in splatoon 2 cartridge. Now, it won't let me click on it. I've had it over a year & it became a major issue when I got a new switch. ACNH works just fine. As does the other games. What should I do?

The reason why I say that is because the PS4 and Xbox One doesn’t have weaker visuals, only the Nintendo Switch has that. 1. The PS4 and Xbox One has normal visuals like how you use a PS5 and Xbox Series X/S and PC. 2. The Nintendo Switch has texture issues not PS4 or Xbox1.

@Wafl3 Yar. Folks like to blame Microsoft though I don't really think that's the issue, somehow. obvi most of the old crew left ages ago so that's a big part of it but even at the tail end of their nintendo days they were starting to flag a bit

And knowing @NintendoAmerica @NintendoCoLtd @thetruebowser They won't fix the lighting for windwaker HD it'll just be a straight up Wii U port rather just play the original that sadly doesn't have the upgraded sail at least it wouldn't burn my eyes out

I have like a genuine question- Why would Nintendo implement that feature where if you don't move for long enough they disconnect you... and then have it count as an actual disconnect—

@JW_Evolution are you going to ever fix how your game looks on Nintendo handheld? Or did I waste 20 dollars for my OCD to be triggered so badly that it send me into a compulsive episode..

Has anyone purchased a replacement joycon for the switch due to drifting and if so, did the problem occur with the new one or has Nintendo resolved this?

Smash online is unplayably laggy about 80% of the time. Considering it's the only game I play online, I probably won't be paying for Nintendo's online service ever again.

@NintendoAmerica what is@up with the input lag for apex legends on switch? Is that a thing? Plus wraith runs slower during phase shift than on other consoles I feel…

I'll never forgive Nintendo for Nintendogs + Cats because cats are better. Nintencats + Dogs and we've got no problem. Or just ten cats. I want ten cats.

@RockingSunset No. I want Security Breach for the Nintendo Switch to be as broken and unplayable as possible.

@TCG96 I don’t understand why Nintendo discontinued and stopped the Dr. Mario World service, which is sad, it was entertaining when I wanted to play something else on my phone. I miss it. Never played Miitomo though...

@southsouthsac @Genki_JPN Yeah I think even when Xbox has tried their hardest in Japan during the early to mid 360 era, brand apathy was still an issue. I still want MS to keep trying but it's very tough to break through a gaming market that has been so entrenched in home brands like Nintendo & Sony.

@imsnoyipee @WaddlesYoRHa Hard to find much research done on it that’s recent, most of it was done back in 2018/2019. Firmware updates might have changed it. Doesn’t make much sense for wired to have more lag but that’s just Nintendo. Either way, make sure the wired option is on in the Switch’s settings.

Camelot is a small studio and made Aces in 2 years, a lot of that games flaws are via Nintendo higher ups demanding a game out a certain time causing things to be post launch content. It’s all once again a crunch problem. No artist on a game is like “yeah let’s make this suck”
