@LiktoGaming @NintendoAmerica Are they fixing broken mechanics? Removing padding? The repeated dungeon? Adding more side content? Updating shaders? Adding mew dungeons? Btw, all this should not be locked behind amiibos.

@NintendoAmerica @TAGHeuer So you can pay to have Mario on a watch. Yet you cant let the Nintendo switch use its Bluetooth for casting to tvs, connect/ stream games to other switch devices, fix the issue with screen recording, and address the issue where Nintendo did not address the joy con drift :/

@DommeMuenster Sorry to hear that But controller problems are really user based Only console that i have experienced drifting issues witn is Nintendo Switch And that’s mostly because it gets damaged more easily because of its handheld mode

@NintendoNews Nintendo is also shittier than ever, which doesn't benefit us. Terrible paid online, overpriced ports, broken controllers, lazy anniversary games, unfinished games with promises of more stuff being added later, etc

@WilliamCail1 @SquantoNS **** net code... Translation: Hackers literally found a Windows 98 check response in the nintendo switch files. Also just because you have ethernet doesn't mean anything. Even in tourns with top players that have either ethernet there are still harsh connection issues

also some lore for dividere (their name): since theyre based on the original nintendo switch, they have drifting problems LOL. sometimes theyre unable to walk straight & will run into ppl/things. usually a light slap on the back is enough to get them out of it

@NintendoAmerica @TAGHeuer lets be real. the only people buying these are gonna be scalpers. also you have enough money for this but not enough to research how to fix joycon drift?

@CloutYagami @SquantoNS He’s shitting on the game itself. I’m saying that it’s not the game’s fault and the devs have little to do with that. It’s not even a console problem; it’s a problem with the company as a whole. But Im not defending Nintendo for that, Im saying that hoping the game dies is edgy.

Dude went hard on defending mk8 online service even tho OP was heavily on shitting on Nintendo as a whole. Did his 1-dimensional world view shatter when I told him rollback isn’t some magic pill that will save online?

@AWDtwit At a certain point we have to stop pretending Nintendo is taken aback by the scalper problem. They always lean into it, scarcity is a marketing tactic for them.

@nintendolife Nintendo is a small indie company they couldn't fix it

@classicURGE @nintendolife Limited Run Games do it all the time. In 2020 they reprinted Shantae for the Gameboy Color and used their logo in the same font/style as the OG Nintendo ones. I don't think there's any copyright issues if it's distinct enough

@Sotamusora @NintendoAmerica Yeah everyone on this app knows the issues about the consoles and the company but there people who just buy things without waiting or waste all of there money on getting item on day one.

@NintendoAmerica @TAGHeuer Nintendo when they decide to create and sell a watch instead of fixing issues with their games and consoles (they're a very smart company)

@KawlunDram this reminds me of when Nintendo fixed early connectivity problems by adding a 5-cent piece of conductive foam inside the joycons

@NintendoAmerica is there a way I can play my Nintendo store purchased games when not connected to a wifi source. I'm trying to go camping and it keeps having to verify that I own this game....I now have the problem with Stardew Valley, before it was ACNH. Any advice?

Nintendo needs to figure out their online stuff. Playing Smash online and I got kicked because there was a communication error. I get banned because of it. Figure it out Nintendo.

@SYACVG Interesting and altho I did suffer joycon drift Nintendo did fix it for me for free so.... not the worst thing in the world

If Nintendo fixes and addresses the joycon issue… I’ll be purchasing the OLED 100%. Mostly because I need a new Switch anyway. If not, I’ll keep my curvy Nintendo Switch and bent dock with Pro Controller for another day.

@MRWADS1 @SYACVG I have two joycons that both have drift issues. One of them out of the box on launch day and the other bought separately later on. The fact that Nintendo hasn't done anything new to the way the Joycons are designed internally means they have the same chances of getting drift.

@chuggaaconroy I would not call Sticker Star the shoddiest Nintendo product when amiibo festival and ultra Smash exist. It is more like the game took the concept of trial and error to an infuriating level.

@CoelhoEspanhol @LiktoGaming @NintendoAmerica The camera was fine in the original game. I don't remember having any issues with it, and you could only control it by pressing Z. So enabled an enhanced camera by pressing a button makes sense here.
