(@UberTroy) reported
to different buttons I find it can be a bit confusing (the letter buttons on xbox vs nintendo annoy the **** out of me and I constantly hit the wrong button. I've had multiple concussions and broken my hands a couple times, my reaction times aren't always great.

@NintendoUK I made a return 3 months ago and haven’t been refunded, never got any help from customer service it’s always “it’s been escalated” I’ve been hearing the same thing for months, I need my money back asap, I hope I don’t need to escalate this myself.

@fwurrel @NintendoAmerica I do agree, they have one of the best customer service also.

Has anyone ever had one of their Nintendo switch controllers just stop working? Like I can’t pair it at all. There’s no green light and it doesn’t seem like it’s turning on. I’ve been trying to fix it for weeks but I can’t figure it out

@DeoxysPrime At this point Nintendo could probably run a modesty profitable service to stream their music and their music alone. Probably a bad idea for others but I honestly think people are that desperate for legitimate access to casually listen to their catalog. Money left on the table

@TAK0YAK14 @NintendoAmerica That's fair, but also like... All the other Mario sports games on Switch also launched pretty blatantly incomplete so its kind of damning with faint praise lol It's >fine< I guess, I'm just really tired of this pseudo-games-as-service business model.

@LisaMcRad VC was a good idea handled poorly with its drip feed approach. Sega had a better service with Sega Channel. Over 20 years ago. Just play ROMs and don't pay Nintendo for this. GC games or later might be worth the money.

@JayyMission @NintendoAmerica So don't buy it until the final update is released. I'd say "problem solved" but this isn't a problem, so, personal issue solved, I guess.

@Reecee_yt @NintendoAmerica Do you have proof that all the tennis and golf content was ready to be released at the launch of the video game without any bug or glitch? (I answer you do not have it)

The Depressed Mess @ BLM + bad at piracy
(@PapyrusSemi) reported
@NintendoAmerica Apparently the game is actually pretty good and there's more of an online focus so maybe it won't crash and burn quite as hard as Mario Golf?

@LisaMcRad VC was a good idea handled poorly with its drip feed approach. Access to tons of games all the time could've been cool. Sega had a better service with Sega Channel. Over 20 years ago. Just play ROMs and don't pay Nintendo for this. GC games or later might be worth the money.

@lordlamb2 @TheNCSmaster @NintendoAmerica As stated. My problem is the quality of the content. Not the idea of free updates.

@PokemonHome_ Thank you for taking the time to respond back to me :'). Are there any new updates in regards to pokémon home such as the error codes for the nintendo switch?

"but we have to consider the issue of brand identities in the metaverse era.." he mumbles to himself, left hand swiping the newsfeed, soaking in the morning rush of information. "honey, your cereals are soaking up the milk.." she whispers as their son boots up the nintendo switch

@PogTack I mean I guess I trust them to make better games, but like... c'mon lmao. Nintendo still hasn't really proven anything about fixing the incomplete launch content issue, so why trust them now just because someone else is developing it 💀

@Jaymonius Pretty sure there's too much red tape to get that game. The games being added seem to be games that Nintendo could easily get the license to host on their service. To be fare Caveman Combat 2 is a good game. Oh sorry, i mean Congo's Caper.

But why would Capcom, Konami, EA, etc. ever sign their legacy content over to Nintendo's subscription service when they can instead re-package it themselves into a classics bundle and then sell it direct-to-consumer?

(@ConnorStMich) reported
@RealitiesCore @WardenGg @NintendoAmerica We’re not expecting the game to not have DLC or post launch content, people wouldn’t mind post launch content if the game actually had tons of content at launch instead of drip feeding the content through out the months, which is the issue with Nintendo online games

@NamelessEnemy It has something to do with them using the same type of data transfer method since the GameCube I think? Nintendo doesn't feel like they have to upgrade that particular service cause there's no reason to. People still buy their online games even if they have connection issues

@vivivindicator Really getting tired of this "live service" model Nintendo does 😭. They already did this with Aces and Golf, like just release the game with a full roster man 💔

@unique_exemplar You can send in your joycons to Nintendo at no charge and they will fix the drift if you don't /want/ to spend money.

I am once again asking if anybody knows anybody I could talk to about refurbishing a Nintendo DS. It's an original DS (the brick). The system itself is functional, the only work that needs to be done is that the hinge for the top and bottom parts is broken.

@NintendoAmerica Dang, thought maybe Strikers would’ve avoided the same issue as Golf and Tennis since it’s a different developer 😟
