  @RetroResolution @MicrosoftHelps @Microsoft they've probably noticed that neither nintendo or sony have fixed their broken **** and figure folks will just keep buying new controllers like switch and ps5 owners have to.

  @SwimsuitHakufu Smh. That's still a "lowest common denominator" issue the only difference is that Tecmo is stuck with the bill. Putting something on Nintendo is difficult because of its limited and expensive cart size. While other consoles have less expensive ways of doing it (disk media)

  @ComunidArcsys Strive on Switch? I don’t think Nintendo would like good online for their stinky online service, but I’ll pray for it to happen one day

  @FinaticalGamer No. We have to wait until Nintendo repair the issue.

  @girlsgutsgiallo Bowser's words do not always reflect Nintendo's beliefs. The PROBLEM is when he kidnaps Princess Peach or breathes fire at Mario and there is nothing on the Mario Kart character select screen to indicate that he is punching up or problematic. It normalizes these ideals...

  I have hundreds of magazines I want to throw in the trash. The first hundred issues of Nintendo Power, lots of Gamepro and PCGamer, tons of White Dwarf and miniatures gaming journals, and piles of other random stuff from the 90s and 00s. I don't have the means to give them homes.

  I just don't understand the logic and did nintendo really give that little information on it before launch 😭 if you could have 2d ui elements just fine what would be the issue with 2d portraits ? there are 2d cgs! prerendered cutscenes! Idgi it doesnt add up

  @MikeDrucker Nintendo is in the center with a fantastic console and truly bad online service.

  @Sora4Smash2 @Sora_Sakurai I feel like crash has the greater chance but most likely a pokemon rep knowing Nintendo

  @eCockpit89 Yes, it really is too big-time, just noticing JRPGs being a big problem nowadays too. I can't believe even I'm losing bits of interest in Nintendo after how dreadful they were last year and just a bit this year. I really can't wait for the Pandemic to be over "soon".

  @NintendoAmerica Since the newest update my switch isn’t willing to connect to Wi-Fi. How can I fix this?

  @IndieGamerChick I hope nintendo's next system doesnt have the same problem

  @chuggaaconroy @ZackMorrisDT @shinobi_skull It just stems back to Nintendo's issue of trying to add a gimmick to every game they make. Like why try to fix something that was never broken. By the end I basically spammed my coins and made the toads do the solutions for me, OK is such a slog of a game

  @GunMediaSupport @Friday13thGame I'm having a lot of problems from Nintendo switch, it crashes at any time, I don't think it's my connection problem, but the game's problem. Correct me if I'm wrong.

  @OoSKIoO @ChitoGaminYT I think all controllers eventually drift which is why in fps shooters like fortnite and call of duty have a dead zone setting. Nintendo also has a drifting issue on their joy cons and haven't offered any compensation other than shipping them to Nintendo and they fix it.

  @MojangSupport Hey @MojangSupport, why is the nintendo switch version so garbage anyways? My friends all play on other consoles which work fine and load the marketplace and servers well. Is this a problem with the game or the console itself?

  @BabyAngel_IG @RaLo_GoD @OhNoItsAlexx No you didn’t always get the whole game and in some cases it was worst back then. Say the first wave of carts of say Mario 64 had a glitch that was near or completely game breaking. What Nintendo would’ve done is released a new wave of carts where the issue was fixed.

  @KanesTheName Did it get fixed? Or does Nintendo still have a real problem on their hands?

  @GameXplain Don’t see why this is surprising. Websites with pricing errors cancel transactions, so why should Nintendo and their eShop be any different? #NintendoSwitch #Zelda #Nintendo

  . @1Life2Play I went to your event last night and now my controller that has never had issues before has severe problems. Non-nintendo adapters break controllers. I have mods on mine for accessibility sake due to hand damage. 100+$ destroyed. Very cool.

  @Hayke_ how does that refute my argument at all? obviously having a custom server is amazing, but let's be honest, it's not as good as Nintendo WFC was. even players from the same continent can lag pretty bad in 10-12 player rooms, and just one JP/AUS player can lag for everyone else.

  Nintendo, Ubisoft, SquareE, & SIE are still making these games, but if you think they'll make them forever & aren't eyeballing service games, I've got a bridge to sell you.

  @NintendoAmerica what should people who are still having issues with the 12.0.3 update do?

  Haha, one tournament that uses non-nintendo adapters and now I have controller issues. Sick.
