@nathanisbored1 some of nintendo's later dpads (gba sp and ds in particular) are much better about that, i never had those issues when running metroid zero mission. but yeah snes dpad is kinda screwy and apparently it gets worse the more worn out the controller is

I see a lot of people screaming about how bad E3 is this year and how Nintendo will "save" us. In my opinion, Microsofts conference wasn't that bad at all. Others? Eh. Unless Nintendo give us Crash Bandicoot in Smash, they'll probably be a massive let down as well tbh lol

@NintendoAmerica why cant we download any game or update anything without getting an error? Cant play anything on my switch.

@forestminish I think the problem is that GameStop capitalized "New" next to Nintendo Switch. Nothing else in the sentence is like that.

@AniMat505 Typically, people don't get in trouble for doing reaction streams or videos on Nintendo's presentations, even past E3 Directs. I *think* it should be fine this time too.

@Faeyas @NintendoAmerica I don't know how accurate this is, but I've heard the Japanese version was plagued with bugs and issues. Maybe they wanted to make sure the international version didn't have those same issues.

I wish we could stop pretending that Phil Spencer doesn’t care where you play XBOX games because he absolutely does. XBOX exclusive = Everywhere except PlayStation and Nintendo. I have no issue w/ the practice, I’m just tired of ppl acting like he’s infallible. #XboxBethesda

@pcgamer Are you having a mental issue @pcgamer ? You want them to kill off what basically launched XBox to what it is. Their most memorable character for 20 years. That's like asking nintendo to just kill off Mario or Sega killing of Sonic The Hedgehog.

Meanwhile, another day has come and gone, and Nintendo STILL refuses to comment on Switch Error 2123-1502. Closing in on a full week for some people who have been dealing with this error and essentially not being able to download updates or what they’ve bought. Bravo, Nintendo.

@DieHardDragoon It happens. And for the record, I haven't noticed any errors in your posts so far. It's a big show and plenty to process. I'm just going ignore my wallet and fight the urge to preorder anything. (Nintendo Switch Pro might change my mind. Don't have one yet. *GASP* I know.)

@Rev_Sweetbreads @LikeToBeBossy If you don't update you won't be able to download new software. Nintendo already provided a server side fix so there isn't an issue with the patch itself. Some that had the patch pre-fix still encountered issues likely because of cached info. Restarting seems to resolve it.

@NintendoAmerica Hopefully by that time they fix all the frame rate issues on the Japanese version. Which so far doesn't seem to be going anywhere

@NintendoAmerica Any idea when y’all are going to fix this issue with the update 12.0.3 Especially with E3 coming up for y’all gonna get this fixed before that with the sales or you’re gonna lose a lot of customers

@TheRetroKaiju @2BforSmash Omg, yes... That game was a mess. I didn't even bother getting it because of how other companies put out. Just look at the Crash or Spyro trilogy remaster! Nintendo need to do something with their remastered games if they're going to sit there and charge an entire 60

@ds2chan @NintendoCanada I'm having the same issue. Did everything on the troubleshooting page and nothing works! Same issue when I try a system update as well. Kiddo's 5th birthday today and he can't play his new game 👎🏻.

like imagine Nintendo releasing a 30-minutes long BOTW2 demo on the eShop. The servers would crash like never before lol but it'd be so cool

(@Hydrixtheaqua) reported
@Redeyes02789579 Yeah, to say people are expecting Nintendo to “win E3” for the 4th year in a row is pretty much an absolute possibility especially since companies can’t really handle the Direct format all too well and have a lot of pacing issues and have mostly shown off a lot of boring stuff.

(@CeeganS) reported
@ZackMorrisDT That's definitely true, but pacing is still a massive problem for some of these guys. (And always has been.) It is what it is though. I really only care about Nintendo. I just pay attention to the others because, why not y'know? XD
