@thatyphoon @NintendoAmerica And like I said before, just because a lot of people don't like it doesn't make it bad. My problem is people not letting other people enjoy things, not everyone has to like the game

@DSzostkiewicz @NinSwitchIntel There is 0 chance we will get any other major home console games; we might get GB and that series of games but we fans have made the wrong move and valued Nintendo’s past library too much; they won’t give it to us as a service, they’ll sell it to us individually full price.

Nintendo should release melee on the switch with everything good patched and a billion frames of input lag so casuals will give them lots of money and the competitive scene will get upset

@Wario64 Last time Microsoft tried this they did that with MistWalker. Now MistWalker is only making mobile games. If Kojima is wise he would offer them a port of Death Stranding then make new games for Sony & Nintendo instead. Why waste money for a rental service title

@NextGenPlayer Lots of serial issues with drift. Many people saying it has made PS5 unplayable. So yeah, many things are better. including the atari joystick, ps1 controller, sega genesis and nintendo controllers and that game with a ball stapled to a paddle

@NintendoAmerica I can’t log in to my account and simply resetting won’t work because a forgotten password isn’t the problem. Please help! I don’t want to make a whole new account. 😭

Ok, might as well do a poll pre-E3 on Smash. If Crash got revealed at E3, what do you think would be the next MAJOR Wanted fighter? #SmashBros #Nintendo

@PKFCx If Nintendo leveraged their legacy content more they could really make a subscription service that knocked it out of the park. As it stands, Microsoft is doing that with more recent content, instead, though you also have to play for online services on console.

@D3stiny_Sm4sher Mainly just that a fee is viewed as a revenue stream rather than actually paying for the service? Dunno! :P PS3 did ok :P But yeah maybe unsustainable ish for the infrastructure. But yeah despite Nintendo's dabbling over however long, it's still never been a priority.

@StarkyLuv73 Not to mention, I surely recognize that Microsoft has the more powerful machine, better online service (Live and gamepass) and caters to their customers (backwards compatibility). That's where Sony also has it ***-backwards (along with Nintendo).

@thetruebowser It would be great if I could afford a nintendo switch! The games I hear are expensive as hell! I've never even played Mario! I do Love Sonic and Crash though. Hook a fan up. $FUHATERS1

@FawfulsMinion It baffles me that a Gamecube controller I've had for over 20 years still works properly with no issues and I'm already on my 3rd left joycon. Nintendo makes great games, but they aren't a great company.

@J0hnnyXm4s @NintendoAmerica If you're being serious... typically a service, app, or game that requires ports to be open will usually have those specific ports listed on their support pages and you should only open specifically just those ports and not every port.

One of the issues: Players cannot change their custom controller settings while playing Nintendo Switch in docked mode. Has been on there since January 21st.

@DeadByBHVR I’m having trouble aiming his blades. I play this on the Nintendo switch so I have to use the joystick to aim and I feel like it just misses most the time, so I mainly use his bat. Like I don’t like how u can move it up and down cause I aim too low/high sometimes.

@SerendipityX6 I think even back on the Wii U days there were licensing issues, thus why games like TMNT IV and Goldeneye didn't show up. Now it has become even more tight cuz everybody wants to make their legacy collection so maybe Nintendo is being denied. Oh but Sony definitely doesn't give

@LimitedRunDoug I think all the systems are lagging behind there former units except Nintendo.The option to play older games again isn't really a seller, it's a nice feature but does it make sense to drop so much money to play the same games on your current console. People want next gen games.
