@NintendoCanada Cool, now if only you guys would fix it so I can actually sign in, maybe I'd be able to buy something.

I sent my switch off to Nintendo to get the screen fixed (it’s gotten cracked since 2018) since it’s insured, but instead they said there was “no problem with the screen” but messed with my controllers - one of which was brand new and had been used a grand total of TWO times.

@FrankBadu8 It is more so that people don't consider the consequences of them getting what they ask for. Plenty of people wanted a subscription-based service and for Nintendo to stop supporting the 3DS AND Wii U (1/2).

Had to scan my passport for my Spring break service trip. What else did I find in my passport holder? A Nintendo DS with Pokemon inside.

@NintendoAmerica Yeah okay, but this service will suck when the 3DS and Wii U eShops close. Legit, you are saying u hate money by doing that.

@Thatonenicostan People are mad at this? Tell me you never had a Wii without telling me. Hell, any Nintendo system or system in general from around that time. Those kinds of warnings were everywhere. Still kinda are. So many "if you have problems, immediately stop playing and go get help".

@TorlionDragon @ShiroSirius No cause unlike Yahtzee am willing to admit Arin Hanson errors and actually play more than 30 minutes of a game (or 5 if it's Nintendo) before declaring it "****".

@GameFreak164X @nintendolife IMO Nintendo also should made these games transferable, like Xbox does. That's the fix for buying the same game all over again. That's not convenient for Nintendo tho, they want us to keep buying it seems

@thicc_stick_boi Victim blaming again, sad to see, reminds me of the joycon boys before Nintendo finally admitted they'd been sweeping the drift issue under the rug, people just didn't take care of their stuff apparently. 🙄

@HellixBastard @keneedsomeamogu @Nibellion Well that rating isn’t really reliable. The game only has 22 reviews which all give it a 100. That’s the issue with Metacritic. Games now get reviewed by way more people than that. Besides, the industry has a bias towards Nintendo anyway

@NintendoAmerica Can't wait for it to be buggy as **** and have even worse input lag than the Wii U VC version!

@Pretzemilia @NintendoAmerica Digital storefronts are always going to close, it's just inevitable. They were up for 10 years, which is honestly a very long time for an online server. My main issue is Nintendo's refusal to make legacy content available on current storefronts, leaving piracy as the only option

@TheNCSmaster PS2 and PS1 were both top-of-the-line. The low testosterone problem is a Nintendo problem.

I really wish Nintendo would release they're game soundtracks, or at least have them on a streaming service

@callmeceri That is a big issue nowadays of games is the balance. There are way to many games nowadays that just focus on the story while the gameplay is lacking. Not every game needs a good story. Look at Nintendo games as Mario been functioning for decades. Gameplay comes before story.

@Neoxon619 @BombosMedallion I think across the board it’s definitely an issue, I’ve seen so many bad takes about both - but you’re definitely right, there does seem to be a shift & hopefully Nintendo will start to pay attention 🤞

@InsomniaAhypnia @ChrisSensei615 I would uninstall Twitter and Reinstall or alternatively try logging in on a PC or iPad or your Nintendo Switch or something to see if the problem replicates.

@DiegoEs2002 @nintendolife That's Nintendo making a problem and selling you a solution from the 3DS to the switch everything you purchase is linked to your Nintendo ID account meaning all Nintendo has to do is just offer virtual console on the switch and you can download all your old stuff for free.

@Joeytehwriter @Harbindinger @NintendoAmerica did that. both versions good. 3ds version slightly worse due to aforementioned atmosphere being *slightly* wrong, but the difference between a 9.88 and a 9.89 is nothing. you lose out on basically nothing playing 3ds with swimming fix.

@SmallRobotArmy @uint8_t Ahhh it all makes sense now. May I suggest you get the pdfs of the Nintendo Power magazines and work through the games in there? Perhaps even just allow yourself one issue a week, and that way every week new games come out and you have new ones to look forward to.
