I really need help with updating my emuMMC on my Nintendo switch with hekate. If I update it with the correct paches, and I tried to open a game I installed something for on Tinfoil, it gives a corrupted data error.

@TheMaractusMan @TheProtoplasm @NintendoAmerica I think the problem isn't even that they stopped giving them focus. I think they just knew the players would be way too strong and confident to get scared at the EMMIs, so they gave the last two BS powers and underwater sections to make them harder to deal with

@NintendoAmerica Be warned many OLED consoles are having issues with connectivity to internet and even finding any network in general. I've exhausted all options and even troubleshooted with Nintendo on phone call so I've already sent mine in for repair. Otherwise mint condition console 👌

@nonoworks Hi. I have 3 questions. 1. Do you have a Terms of Service (TOS)? 2. Do you do couples/pairings? If yes, is it only b/g or do you do others? 3. If you are only accepting one character right now, can it be from any other Nintendo series or is it just Mario and Zelda?

@NintendoUK @NintendoEurope 2. Said they tried to take payment and it was refused. No come to say it was going to happen or there was an issue (can’t tell me when it was either 🤔). After more emails, finally answer & I’ve to reorder (no gifts) ‘if I want to’. Merry Xmas! NOT

@thestr4ng3r hi ! I just compared chiaki on HOS (switch os) VS android version on a nintendo switch : android version with 1080p give better results and less artefacts. Anyway to have 1080p and bitrate option on HOS ? I tried to force 1080p in config file but app crash

Kind of a huge problem. I shouldn’t have to be referred to a tool by a Nintendo Life article to make this a less excruciating process and my progress shouldn’t be reset because I couldn’t either find a tool or set aside 3-4 hours in a single day to find it.

@grimwiser @NintendoAmerica I dont think that's the issue. The EMMI are deadly regardless. Imo, rhe reason they arent scary is because when you die, you dont get sent back that far. The consequence for getting caught is minimal.

@currys Should add that due to these problems I ordered a television from Richer Sounds and a Nintendo Switch from Very, despite Currys being able to compete on price

@TriforceZard It's funny how Nintendo fandoms continuously bully the underdog. The same **** is happening with Unovabros. Genwunners were the problem back then, and now Poke-zoomers incorrectly latch the toxic portion of the fandom on B/W like we're the same crowd or something. Can't ever win.

@SYACVG The only surprising part is that people bought minecraft on the Nintendo switch. It’s bugged to hell and back. My copy doesn’t work properly anymore and there’s no way to fix it.

@Bored__Witch @LimitedRunGames This same issue will occur with any Switch game that has a digital patch and we've reported it to Nintendo using Breath of the Wild as an example. They are looking into it and we hope to see it fixed in an OS update.

@EmpyreanHeaven @MalcontentRonin @pettycommajared Nintendo definitely needs better online services too but last I checked services is not hardware. Joy cons are 100% a massive issue but also the Switch Pro controller is great.

Stand up @NintendoUK @NintendoEurope as you have officially won the award for worst customer service ever. Pre-order placed back in August for goods & free gifts. Chased them up, took days to answer and said “it’ll be shipped” no delivery; chased again (took days to answer) 2.

@SuperHooktailJr @yyoshisteven Yes this has been an issue since the beginning of the Wii U. Nintendo is still following the same patterns they always have. They make a big successful console, they get cocky/lazy, they fix it, they have another big success. Idk if they'll ever break the cycle at this point.

@Jonatha85719302 @NintendoUK Customer service is a joke, I've been waiting for delivery of a switch but no sign of it being dispatched. Also can't cancel the order so I'm left without my money and no Switch. Terrible website

@NintendoAmerica Blocking people here who say make better games, fix NSO online, or any other negativity here. They're talking about a game that also gained considerable attention, so please give any game they would talk about that isn't Mario, Zelda, Smash, Pokemon, or Metroid a chance.

@FSlider64 Fr which is why I’m hoping for Nintendo to re-release some of them on switch or add list of GameCube games to the switch online service.
