  @Hot_Lap_League Hi I have hot lap league on the Nintendo switch but the controller keeps breaking and it's too expensive to fix so I'm wondering if I can play it on my phone for free because I bought it on the switch For example a code for the game

  @DisneyDLV I'd adore to see winnie the pooh, maybe Aladdin! And my fishing glitch on Nintendo switch fixed 😔. I can only catch bass and cod :( I don't know why and that's after a restart because I couldn't fish. Fix please 🙏

  @Lythero This problem would have been largely avoided had Microsoft not used xaby for their buttons but just something else. I can easily swap between Nintendo and Playstation controllers but Xbox? My brain just always defaults to Nintendo's button placement when I see the letters xaby.

  @Xyphon_ @SuperPodSaga There was some problems with Kadabra. Uri Geller, a mentalist who claimed he could bend spoons with his mind, sued Nintendo because Kadabra was based on him (Kadabra's Japanese name is Yungeler). Due to this, Pokémon Company has tried to sweep Kadabra under the rug several times

  @Lythero For me the biggest issue is confirming with the lower button and going back with the right one, I've always played on Nintendo systems so whenever I can I change the confirm button, and when I can't I just change the steam controller configuration

  @the_moviebob I don't think Blade quite counts, and not because I don't want to give the black guy credit. People considered it an action vampire movie about a guy not in tights. They marketed it the same way as Nintendo marketed the NES after the video game crash.

  If I'm plugged in using an ethernet cable how the hell can I keep being kicked from comm errors when there is also no instance of lag in the match. Nintendo/Splatoon devs please

  @GamewithDave Nintendo Switch, sort of. I thought it broke because it drifted. I got new ones and they don’t drift as much. Then I realized my controllers were perfectly fine, they just had the drifting problem.

  @samushourly Worked WAY better than Other M. Honestly Nintendo needs to fix THAT game given what they mindlessly did to Samus and the Federation as a whole in it...

  @Ubisoft Online for Nintendo Switch is broken. Doesn’t match up with anyone. Just sits at loading screen. Gave up after 30 minutes and 3 attempts

  @FireEmblemJP Can you guys fix Fire Emblem Engage english dialogue? Like holy crap, every time I played the goddamn game, the way they talk make me depressed every time. Why did you allow Nintendo of America butcher your game like this? It awful.

  Chibuga Bandicoot (@ChibugBandicoot) reported 33 minutes ago

  @GamewithDave Despite playing since the PS1...18. My PS1 & all other controllers still work perfectly, but the Switch controllers are so bad with the drift. Literally the only controller I've ever had issues with and it's not even my fault. Nintendo seriously messed up with these controllers.

  @AndrossSF0 I really miss Nintendo Power! I wonder if the old issues are expensive now? I wouldn't mind collecting them

  to be friends with? Do you remember when you were a kid, playing Nintendo and it wouldn't work? You take the cartridge out, blow in it and that would magically fix the problem. Every kid in America did that, but how did we all know how to fix the problem? There was no internet

  Words | Persona 3 (@TNEQL) reported 37 minutes ago

  @Timzel18 @GamewithDave Is yours newish or old? Nintendo claims newer Joy-Con have less of an issue, but any from within the first few years of launch definitely suffer, to an alarmingly high degree. The issue seems to be mainly with the contacts under the thumbsticks deteriorating very quickly.

  @TheTrollingQ @8BitDo They seriously are. I’ve picked up a bunch of them for Switch and none of them have given me any issues, ever. Sad that Nintendo brand controllers can practically fail outta the box but @8BitDo came along and changed the game lol.

  Are Nintendo's servers down or is it just me? Got kicked out of a match in Splatoon 3 rn and it won't let me connect to the internet

  @yggdrasilsaltar @Cr4sherX @antdude92 Low series sales + the director (tsunku) had to have something in his throat removed so he can't speak nor sing anymore + Megamix went through a lot of dev problems + dev studio got redistributed throughout nintendo. There's still hope, Tsunku says to keep voicing our love for RH

  @sneasley_11 @slain_valhallan @PostUp_bbb They are one of the market leaders (Nintendo exists) because of brand power from the 90s. Same for Nintendo. The only way that brand power can be broken is with Sony flopping like in 7th gen or with MS spending money. Sony don't care about competiton they want to stay dominant.

  @SuperPodSaga in Mike Tyson's Punch Out! for the NES, if you put in the code 800 422 2602, you'll hear a busy signal, the number is the old Nintendo Customer Service phone number.

  @NintendoAmerica From the video: wdym with widescreen enabled? Are you adding widescreen to N64 games? Also, the lag/framerate decrease in 4 player multiplayer seems gone ?
