    Should I expect the Nintendo eshop to not be working bc a lot of people are probably on it rn? I keep getting an error that won't let me use it bc it can't connect to the service. I'm assuming bc its Christmas and a bunch of people are using it??

    @corn_xyrup Worrying that stuffs gonna get broken is a valid reason, you'd be selfish if your life of thought was "I don't want people using this because it's mine and nobody else's" You know, like Nintendo

  • SpaceMutiny Laharl Zappa (@SpaceMutiny) reported

    without Nintendo S&P getting their noses in there with demands to cut content out. Even the second party studios at the time like Rare when they were part of Nintendo basically had a few problems with GoldenEye for the N64 that they had to basically game S&P to get what they want

  • ReverendLov Santa Rowlet 🎄 (@ReverendLov) reported

    @NintendoAmerica Why don’t you stop sending cease and desist letters and fix your damn eShop

  • JSmithFrisco Jason (@JSmithFrisco) reported from Frisco, Texas

    @NintendoAmerica my kids each got a switch lite for Christmas but they can't play digital games on their account. Of they are on the main switch they can play them. My account can play them on the Lites, but they get an error when trying to play on their account on the Lites.

    @JSteppedOn could be an issue with the emulator in the switch ... does it also do it on made-for-switch games or just games from previous nintendo consoles?
