@iamcheerbear Oh I see lol. Seems like the lag is kinda bad I bet it's cause of the slight delay on the buttons right? Or is it like how smash Bros WiFi is? Though Nintendo should patch the WiFi here and there like they do for smash on 3d world.

@She_Who_Maws Android and Ios, Pokemon Mastes EX, might take bit of a beefy phone, but as long as it is fairly recent there should be no issues. Also a few gigs big once extra data is downloaded/progress is made so beware of that too. Oh, just in case make sure to connect a Nintendo account.

@ItBeKetchup @MagicalPuyoPopN @Ravix0fFourHorn What a weird thing to bring up. I can customize my phone so why would I want to customize my Switch? That's some huge Nintendo defense squad **** going on there. You're paying $20-35 for a gimped, half baked service. There is absolutely no excuse for it to be this bare.

Absolutely disgusted with @NintendoUK . Bought my nephew a Switch Lite 1 month ago, its charging port failed, and they are now asking for £140 fee to fix! A month old and out of warranty?! During the Covid lockdown too. @CitizensAdvice what to do?

@timely_u @elliotduby Crash would fit better as an E3 announcement anyways rather than a random Nintendo direct

4 years of JoyCon drift being ignored by Nintendo, good times! Seriously, the Switch is a great console but this issue is just inexcusable.

@NintendoUK trying to play Cake Bash online with my girlfriend and she’s repeatedly getting ‘Something went wrong error’ when accepting my invite or trying to host her own lobby. Please can you help us resolve?

I literally hate my internet so ******* much. Comcast combined with Nintendo's ****** online service is just lag everywhere. I can't even make my own Smash Arenas without my net kicking me out.

@_HowDoIUseThis @JESnowden I have twice. Just send joycons to Nintendo and they fix it free of charge. The only blemish on this system is the joycons. They have terrible range and the drift issue.

@Xploshi Problem is, as far as "some of sony's best modern games go" demand for them falls off SHARPLY after a short while. Even with steep price drops. Last I checked, even a game like Splatoon 2 outsold all but two PS4 exclusives. Meanwhile, the demand persists for big Nintendo games.

20 dollar peer to peer ******* internet service that works worse than ps2 broadband connections. Absolute pisstake. @NINTENDO is a shell of its former self and would be lucky if people even buys their hardware anymore after this **** 3 years

@SplodedChicken @supermario35th Nintendo has and always will be miles behind everyone else sadly. The price fixing is still a huge issue

@Razgriz990 Nintendo has the same problem as Disney: over-policing their brand. On one level, I get it, because their quality controls set them apart. But it's not worth creating an adversarial relationship with fans.

Nintendo Fans Complaining About Nintendo
(@AboutNintendo) reported
@jorschlol The problem is that if they fix Joy-Cons, they have to sacrifice the sensitivity and accuracy to do so. Not saying it's not an issue, but there's probably people who'd complain that the controllers became weak in response to Nintendo fixing the issue.

@Malindachan @NintendoAmerica I honestly just replaced my analog and havent had issues since. Was quicker than dealing with Nintendo personally. I imagine they still doing repairs tho.

@TempestDriver it’s just terrible. I’m fine working around other timezones, but the lag absolute kills the game. it makes for a lot of laughs, but actually achieving things in timed or later levels is impossible. Nintendo should have done better. I did complete every other level with all 5 tho.

With Nintendo Switch emulators being a thing, the Monster Hunter Rise Speedrun community should consider not only banning emulator runs, but placing some serious consequences on doing so to attempt to mitigate the issues that plague PC running @MHLeaderboards

@Maddy_AAHHH @ChawnSarter @TheLegoMoses There is a severe performance problem if adding themes would ruin the system. This would help if Nintendo wasn't constantly 2 generations behind in graphics and processing power. I'm a Nintendo fan, but they're getting left in the dust in so many areas.

@ANabs96 When this is the problem I think it's more a you thing, to be honest. I realized this with Nintendo last year since none of the games released interested me and yet people were satisfied.
