@NintendoAmerica @MarioRabbids I'm very intrigued about how the story happens. Since fusions are still a thing that keep showing up, i'm guessing the heroes never got the Supamerge off of Spawny and he got loose again or maybe they did and are just dealing with the aftermath with the new glitch(?) named Cursa?

@skeletonpup W/the Switch, the already-weakened promise of backwards compatibility in their portable consoles was finally broken, since it can’t even run 3DS games. I remember feeling pretty shook when the DS Lite became the first Nintendo portable EVER that couldn’t run OG Pokémon. Now? 😬

@NintendoAmerica @MarioRabbids my problem with this game is that it has too much rabbids and too little mario. It doesn't seem fair and I don't really like rabbids

I don’t think people understand that game companies don’t want to archive or preserve old games. Not even in a for profit set up. This isn’t just a Nintendo thing or a square thing…it’s all the companies. There’s some obvious legal issues that arise thanks to copyright laws

I'm really excited for Tiny Tina's Wonderlands! I used to be a pretty hardcore borderlands fanatic but dropped off around the time the pre-sequel came around. I gotta fix that. Anyway, just kinda lying in wait for Xbox, Square Enix, and Nintendo panels for now.

@NintendoAmerica Fix the menus, please @Ubisoft @UbisoftSupport! That bright white background needs to either be optional or be gone!!!

Which is cool, btw. We've been complaining about Nintendo never letting us buy their old games on new consoles whenever we talk about emus, so HD ports/remasters are always cool. The problem is they'll probably be expensive as **** for no reason at all.

@ShinyCaseyD The latest update caused this issue likely due to Nintendo removing support for TLS 1.3, which is a communications protocol used by some services the Internet. Nintendo needs to issue a server fix and/or new firmware reverting the changes or fixing it. I cant download anything 😢

@Alcaze Yup think i dont get caught up in the little imperfections cause I grew up on regular nintendo where if a game had a bug or graphic glitch it was there forever lols

@Chris_Levin11 @NintendoUK No option to roll back no workarounds from them works and I have 3 kids can’t play their games because they need updates. Plus no communication from Nintendo other than blaming the 4 different networks I have tried. @NintendoUK this is really poor customer service!!

@DitkoShill That Ubisoft event..... Yikes..... No splinter cell, no Rayman, no classic non beyond good and evil 2 and making Rocksmith a subscription service. Like sure it's more accessible but yet another subscription to pay for.... Here's hoping Xbox and Nintendo show cool stuff...

@Cassiopeya_ I wouldn't say it's too gimmicky, but they're definitely lagging behind everyone else. Unfortunately this isn't anything new for Nintendo.

For some reason the idea of Nintendo doing a double reveal, first showing off Crash and then Doom Slayer tearing his spine out sounds incredibly funny and it’s what I genuinely wanna see

@fuckshitstreet I wonder if it could be a server issue on Nintendo’s end? Or possibly the sd card needs formatted?

Anyone having the dreaded Nintendoswitch games Download error - restart the switch and go to the store and choose redownload from there. Temporary fix :/ @NintendoAmerica the patch has caused some real issues.

If you're expecting a non-Nintendo mascot platformer to show up at E3, you're setting yourself up for disappointment. They only show shooty shoot games and live service MMORPG's and driving simulations with quirky gamer dialogue. Expecting Rayman in all that is fruitless.

(@Encapsulatte) reported
My last predictions for Smash reveals are Crash Bandicoot and Rabbid. Crash is as close as anything gets to an inevitability at this point. Rabbid is gonna REALLY annoy the people who really wanted Rayman (and hate the rabbids), but the ties to Nintendo are much closer.

@Triggerhappy938 @NintendoAmerica @MarioRabbids at least i'm glad other people are experiencing this. I was slightly concerned it might be hardware related and was not happy at all. But if it's like this, it's almost certainly a server side capacity issue.

peoples expectations for the nintendo direct be like "botw 2, oddysey 2, crash in smash, switch pro" ***** im betting rn that NONE of those will happen

@DeepLovelyDip1 And to fix the problem, they will need big capex, and the solution will likely be temporary unless they move into competing with Steam/Microsoft/Nintendo etc by building their own platform and games. It's a dying company, and no number of apes can fix that unless they pivot.

Apparently Gearbox's presentation was even worse than Ubisoft's. Sony doesn't do E3 anymore, EA is all service games, Nintendo probably won't have anything but ports to show, so I guess Microsoft has the floor? Not sure E3 serves much of a purpose anymore.
