This will never happen in a million years, but... What if nintendo secretly drops the game before 2022? And they WAIT until some guy looking through the e-store finds it, and tweets about it being out. The e-shop would probably crash xD

@BenMoore035 Agreed. The main issue is that if people don't buy it, Nintendo will just assume that no one cares about Advance Wars.

@Avrazael @So_Ethereal @NintendoAmerica The story was good. If there was an issue, it was the English dub.

@Nana_Lili_Chii Nintendo is extremely hard to get refunds from but the issue is affecting all players, Taito is working on fixing it. One of their songs made its ESRB rating go up because they didn't censor it and it was removed, you should be able to download the purchased DLC in a day or two.

@Turinnn1 @ChrisRGun it seems weird how so many suddenly have an issue with it when microsoft does it. Unlike nintendo and sony they at least allow you to play majority of their games on pc, so you're not forced to throw money at a console just for one or two games you want.

@AngeryShed That makes sense, but Activision and Nintendo are good friends, Donkey Kong and Bowser were in Skylanders for example So I feel the concept of "Activision can be annoying" is kinda invalid Also, Crash was expensive for ps Allstars since the project wasn't in a good state

John ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
(@JKrupa142) reported
@CONEY The fact that Nintendo JUST added online to games like Mario party shouldn’t be a selling point. At this point most other companies have had online options for at least 10 years. The idea that a party game like warioware DOESN’T have online should be a way bigger problem.

@NintendoUK Would love to take advantage of this sale, but that now-infamous update etc has rendered that impossible like for many others. Constant error code 2123-1502 & yes I tried DNS settings & everything else many, many times. Awaiting patiently for 12.0.4 or whatever is needed...

@Ruleof2Review The problem is, every 1st party Nintendo game nowadays has a $60 price tag, so if Metroid were the only game to be, say, $40, it would make consumers think “huh, I guess they don’t have much confidence in this game”.

@NintendoAmerica 2123-1502 error is out of control. I and others have tried the dns, reboot and cache clearing troubleshoots to no avail. Takes 20 minutes sometimes to power through the continue option when downloading to get it to work. Please fix

@NintyPrime I am actually surprised and I’m not trying to get a backlash from saying this that people actually thought that pre-orders were going to go up a GameStop for the switch pro and plus the capital N in New Nintendo switch when the switched it back because it was a error

@AdamTheMeganium Not sure though how Switch would play with Mobile or Win10 cause both platforms use XBOX Live to join friends. And Switch uses Nintendo FC Stuff… Hmmmm~ 🤔 Kinda weird that PS4 has no problem joining Mobile or Win10 despite it using PSN & XBOX Live, which are: PSN ≠ XBOX Live

@Thelastsupersa2 The problem with E3 this year was the fact that nobody came prepared for it due to COVID with Nintendo being the exception. They knew that the audience wanted to see video games and no preaching. The fact that the writers chose to put Xbox as the winner shows how biased they are.

@TricksterFGC OMG!!!! Stupid shotos ruining smash 😠😠😠 it would've been so much better if someone like Crash or Spyro got into smash 💯💯 Nintendo should fire Sakurai and hire me because obviously I would give the people what they want 😤😤😤

@PoorlyAgedStuff That's fake. If I recall, that photo of the broken Switch was originally from someone who didn't finish the Banjo Kazooie reveal and thought Nintendo didn't care after they did the bait and switch with Duck Hunt. He might have been satire, though.

Honestly at this point I should just send the whole switch to Nintendo and write "fix pls" on a little note with a bad drawing of the joycons
