@reduxicals @DummyBh They in fact can't "Fix Lag" But they can change their connection methods and their servers, Just like nintendo did recently, They were using a system that still supported windows 95. And there are parts in the world without servers to this day.

Nintendo online can't be summed up anymore perfectly than by getting a Comms error as you cross the finish line in Mario Kart

@Flamerpaper @TsukiMoonss @OnThisDayGaming It's $5 get over it man lol. There isn't a single cloud service that doesn't charge once you meet their cap or before signing up. Home and Nintendo Online are shitty services that need overhauls with pricing and content.

Updating wordpress plugins when there is a bug feels like I'm trying to enter the Konami code to access a cheat...after an issue, hitting up up down down left right left right select start fixed the issue. Who knew playing nintendo as a kid would help with web dev? #tech #webdev

@NintendoUK hi there I’m having issues with my right hand joycon controller. It works when connected to the console but when I put it into the handheld controller it won’t turn on. I’ve tried various troubleshooting but to no avail.

@CobaltClaw "Paid online is only an issue when Nintendo does it" Ignoring the fact they have been using the same infrastructure for 20 years, I don't use online on my other consoles.

@vg_zeitgeist @Polygon I’m not advocating specifically for jail time here *******, I just want these people off of Nintendo’s online service. Also please learn how to argue without bringing up unrelated points with every response. 🙏

@ZoraiNaccal @VTuberTweeter 1. I haven't yet seen any people having problems with game tracks other than nintendo remixes. Most developers are just glad that their work is being shown to most people (1/2)

i pray every day for nintendo to make a skyward sword remake that fixes all the problems so that i can engage with people online about it but in a positive way, instead of just how it was impossible to play

@NintendoUK Your online store service is terrible! I've been waiting for over 6 weeks for a product I pre-ordered. My order is taking days to be cancelled and all I want at this point is a refund.

@HiRezStudios @PaladinsGame I keep getting "version mismatch" on my Nintendo Switch. Any ideas on how to fix this so I can play?

@DIVINEGOD9 @king_goomba @Atlus_West Sadly, there are people like this. Whining and crying if they dont get what they want. This is the problem with most fanbase but the Nintendo fanbase is one of the worst. They keep asking for ports for every game that is released. They dont know the meaning of exclusive.

@RoseFromTheAshs "Paid online is only an issue when Nintendo does it" copypaste goes here Instead of just listing the negatives, why not list possible changes instead of crying about what is an issue/bad with the console I see too many similar tweets of a negative echo-chamber without solutions

@chandeli_whore @daniel0ooo @RPGSite Switch games have dropped in price and they recently have sales? Also the issue isn’t definitively Nintendo it’s GS. I don’t like GS’s absurd prices.

@Voultar @Voultar, I sent you my Nintendo 64 in Nov. Your turnaround time is 7-14 biz days. It's Feb 5 & you have not returned my Nintendo 64. I also emailed but you haven't replied. Even if you are unable to fix it, can you return it? I will email you again today hoping for a reply.

If Nintendo really cared about old people, they'd make like an 8 inch Switch. Vision problems, bro.
