@dendesune @youngtoiletgod @IGN Nintendo’s got like a million other problems with the way they run their business.

@NintendoAmerica The discontinuing of YouTube support for Wii U is absolutely obnoxious. This was how my daughter was able to watch YouTube easiest in my household and you have discontinued support for a free service for no acceptable reason.

Also, can you please help me with a tiny issue? I have the Arkanoid game for the Nintendo which runs fine the only problem is I can't move the bar left or right using either the D-pad or Keys. Where am I going wrong?

@MojangSupport I use a nintendo switch light and I can't sign into minecraft at all. It keeps showing me QR code to scan or remote webpage as the only way to sign in but even though I have done that nothing else happens. Is there any other way to sign in? Cheers.

@daphoenixdiva Nintendo had nothing to do with it past paying for it to exist. Platinum has been having problems the past few years, specifically babylons fall and wonderful 101 remake severely underperforming. So the pressure was on to get this bayonetta out now as opposed to waiting

@MayorMori When you look how badly the game suffers from lag, when you decorate this tiny island 🏝, maybe Nintendo just thought, why bother when we’ve milked the AC community already, let’s just move on

@CapcomEnjoyer Maybe some day! I think the problem is that Nintendo helped publish the game kinda like bayonetta

@TECHASPiKE @DoesItPlay1 Only games I've encountered having this are Forza Horizon 5 and Halo Infinite. Some other games like Gran Turismo 7 on PlayStation and Starlink on Nintendo Switch have the same issue though. And I hope Sony and Microsoft stop this trend due to the backlash they both got.

@Falco_X Also not releasing the biggest titles on Nintendo Switch the market leader in japan is also a problem

@xdadevelopers @AdamConwayIE It doesn't appeal to me at all tbh. I'd rather play on a big screen with better graphics and frame rate. It was a similar issue I had with handhelds like the PSP. Why would I just want to play the same games on it as a Playstation? There's a reason Nintendo does so well here.

I figured out how to fix the Nintendo Switche’s Joycons… just stop buying/using them.

@hyruleskyward This is the issue with Wind Waker, too much crayons into it and knows it too well and it would be wise to let it go until later. When Breathe of the wild has mods, Nintendo stalls it period until people stops or has it secure. Naruto Shippuden affects it due to court & Bleach too

@phosphor_glow with the camera and way they control i just can't. this is a big issue for a lot of 64 games but the nintendo games for me were real bad

@BlackBurai I think the issue is Nintendo went on a different direction when’re Japanese developers/publishers have to pick a strategy. Focus on mobile and Switch or focus on big AAA development. Nintendo or Japan in general is not a good market for the latter choice.

small problem is nintendo decided to make things awful so i gotta put all my good miis on my brother’s miitopia switch save file then import them all back to my reset save file if i do replay

@PownicMania5000 Kingdom Battle had its fps drops as well which happened in the same way. The Switch's low bandwidth has been an issue since literally day 1 for the console (Korok Forest in BOTW struggles to due the bandwidth). I can only hope that Nintendo next console focuses on fixing that.

@NintendoAmerica Yeah I'm just gonna say don't believe the lies about the game and so called performance issues though it seems those are from idiots who don't know what they're talking about or haters or both

@suzismini @MoniseLSeward I had a math teacher for geometry and pre-calc (same teacher) who played on a Nintendo game boy or went into the hallway to chat with the algebra teacher. “Open the book and do the problems” When I complained, he responded that his union wouldn’t care.

Be careful buying Nintendo switch games via the online store…if there’s an issue @NintendoAmerica just pushes it off on the developer. If you ask me it’s Nintendo’s job to take it up with the developer not mine!

@Chaosxsilencer Well, the problem is not many companies want to develop or port AAA games for ARM. Even though the Nintendo Switch is proof that it can be done.

stop crying when nintendo bans you for cheating. You agreed to the tos by getting the nintendo online service. Nintendo is in the right for banning you. If you want you chunks so badly, go play Salmon Run, holy ****.

@GosGosu I have no problem with these people. I have a problem with hackers complaining about Nintendo or Splatoon being banned

@YokaiRiderVT I don't understand people getting mad at artists for having drawn porn in the past. Why is that an issue? And even then, don't they realize that Nintendo ok'ed these designs, as in they don't see an issue with them at all?
