@KyojinKayden Etika fans will bring him up when Nintendo does literally anything but soon as his own brother tries to carry on his legacy there’s a problem

Nintendo has so many greedy practices; but it’s weird to me that a $20 a year Nintendo Online service is the thing that pushes people over the edge. You’re made about that $20 but will spend $60 for All-Stars, Pikmin 3, Skward Sword, etc.? 🤔

i've almost bought a nintendo switch like 10 times in the past few years, and then i remember the drifting problem and it immediately stops me

That would allow Switch Lite players to use a larger screen if they want, and they should be able to take advantage of cloud saves. That sounds like a cheaper way to play NES and SNES games with the Nintendo Online service.

Nintendo needs to either make NSO better or make it free again. I wouldn't have a problem paying for it if the connection wasn't garbage.

Nintendo Online is a garbage pay wall service. It does nothing to improve your online experience, you have to use another device to use voice chat, you don’t get rewards for you subscription, no one gives a **** about old *** games that could easily be obtained somewhere else.

Also the service requires you to go onto your phone to communicate which only works in select 1st party games. This bad for Nintendo because people use other services like Discord and Xbox parties to communicate.

@MJ312 @RomeGoLARGE 4/? Signs. Also said Nintendo will follow suit as well, down the road. So now typically when a PlayStation guy I know say something about this, I’m laughing because it’s a big “I told ya so”. So don’t think I **** ride any of these companies. Xbox got its ******* issues,

@MurkyEggHunt I skimmed some of them, and yeah, Crash's odds are not overwhelmingly likely. If I had to guess, I'd give him an under fifty perfect chance - still possible for sure, but so many other options still exist. I'm currently guessing we'll get one more Nintendo character and one...

Nintendo online is still a lackluster service and we all know that. We're almost close to the Switch console going into another year, and Nintendo has yet to make convincing content to make their service have more value. NES and SNES will not carry the service.

Hey y'all, Lets get #selectwario trending for a important cause Lately the video game company Nintendo made Wario slower to select on Mario kart games and its a bad problem in todays society, We shouldn't waste 10 seconds to selecting Wario when it should be 1 second like N64

have so much trouble with obs audio streams, the volume wont change while on my head phones, while I'm monitoring the usb capture stream from a Nintendo NES. Not sure I'll sleep tonight thinking about it.

@StandardVlogger @NintendoAmerica yeah i guess we could do with another sonic rep. of course i feel like we would have the same problem that we do with pyra. people would probably complain about the dlc character not being from a series that wasn't previously represented in smash lol.

@lumvoo do you have any extras laying around you could test? for me mine didn’t work or my brothers so i knew it was the sd slot and not the cards if not when you text nintendo they will do a test w you to see if it’s the slot or the card, but if it’s the slot it’s an easy fix

If you want Nintendo Switch online to be worth the money at LEAST make your communication service be on the Switch and doesn't rely on third party support. #NintendoSwitchOnline

@PhantasyStarBoy I don’t think anybody forgets how big PS1 or 2 was. Two of the most successful consoles ever. Still, I don’t know of any recent examples where a PlayStation exclusive came to Nintendo... again, unless it’s FF7, or Crash, which are very old and on Xbox too.

@ArthurTAgain @NintendoAmerica I don’t see them ever putting Crash in. I don’t know why people think they would. There’s only one 100% non japanese character, & it’s cuz it’s from the best selling game of all time.
