@VixiVulpixel It would be easy if Genius Sonority still was there and even handled the remakes or dedicated spinoffs but TPC wants them strictly on mobile. If Nintendo owned GF themselves you can bet they would send Monolith or someone to help and aleviate the issue but clearly they can't.

@Zeldamaster9001 to be fair, the switch is crappy at running any non optimized non nintendo games, running at 720p docked and 30 fps, but thats also because the cpu is capped at 1,1 ghz or something if you uncap it at 1,7 ghz (actual max speed) with mods, games run better with no framerate issues

@ShadowFoxArche @RoseFromTheAshs Microsoft has solved this issue. I think you are missing the component however that Nintendo is trying to solve issues the industry has already gotten over. You can back up user save data onto external and cloud drives on the Xbox one, for example

@tompedalino @iainfarrell @MrCharlieDave Banjo is under the Nintendo umbrella and Crash = Trash.

@AlimationsX @of_lxx @PoorlyAgedStuff The thing is, it’s not just about a broken console (in this case the switch) people have had those complaints about ALL of Nintendo’s consoles. Literally every time Nintendo has been mentioned in the last decade there are several people who bring up the child argument

I can also access the snes games from my Nintendo switch online subscription. Why is splatoon giving me trouble?

@Anghrey @matteusbeus I don't see the link. You speak of Super Nintendo, it's a console whose design has been studied to use additional chips. Where is the problem ?

@Yoship424 Even if it is mostly an issue in the west I still think it's something Nintendo should take into consideration when they are a company that works with a worldwide appeal. I mean, characters like Banjo-Kazooie, for example, might have not been appealing to japanese audiences but

Currently doing a bunch of tedious terraforming in ACNH to fix some trees that were misaligned, so look out for Nintendo to announce the next update to have those datamined buildings purely to spite me and make me do this all over again on like Monday.

@nihilisticjelly Whoops. Didn’t see that part. But in a way, I kinda understand the hate. I don’t think it was really wise of Nintendo to end off the Fighter Pass with a Fire Emblem character when we got characters like Banjo & Kazooie and people were thinking we would get Crash or Dante.

@RiendeauRoman I did at first too, but now I also wanna see what games are functional which "do not support Gamecube controllers" Nintendo doesn't even advertise this function or give instructions on it, so I almost think this is an unintended glitch where the Switch thinks it's a ProCon-

@RiendeauRoman -and forces through fixes, like Z and R being ZR, but some of them do feel intentionally programmed, like Z and LDpad being minus. Maybe somebody went through the trouble of programming this, but never told his boss, so Nintendo doesn't even know, outside of 1 employee.

@i2egulus For most of their games, Nintendo uses a p2p internet setup, So if there's lag that means someone had bad internet. They need dedicated servers for everything, like Splatoon 2 uses.

@sagittayystar just ask Nintendo customer service if preventing other player from playing is cheating, I did and they said yes

We've already seen Chuck Wendig try to take down the site's library service to capture the (admittedly imaginary) revenue he saw them as siphoning off, so it's not like this is an idle concern, either. Imagine how Nintendo will react once they find out.

@PhilTheGM Listen, I’m not gonna bother the Nintendo Customer Service people just because your team was doing poorly enough that the enemy team was able to get into your base. Sounds like you just need to get good, sir.

Only issue I can see is it might be a bit wonky with emulating non-Ninty consoles, especially anything Sony. Even if there's only like two or three non Nintendo console games I'd wanna play on Switch.

@sagittayystar look, if you want answer, just ask Nintendo customer service if preventing other players from leaving the spawn shield is cheating, I did and they told me it is, if there is a problem, it's with them

@neuroxin And...I've done tech support on and off since '92. It's not a SEMI-skilled ANYTHING. Dealing with shitty humans on the phone, 99% of whom CAUSED the problems they're angry about? Takes skill. Patience. Intelligence. AND HAZARD PAY. Nintendo the day after Christmas? War zone.

@IntroSpecktive I'm feeling someone super obvious (could be Crash), another Nintendo rep, and then something unexpected but well respected (like an Indie rep or something).

Despite Nintendo being on top and that the soundtracks being very low priority, there's no reason for Nintendo to upload or even have a service at this point.
