  • UwU_Bombahed 🛹 Bootleg Rider 🅱️om🅱️ahed 🏒 - PLAYOFFS BAYBAY (@UwU_Bombahed) reported

    @HeroTuberRonin I want to play that **** too, WITH HOMIES but the problem is that there is no Steam version here available and I got a Switch with no Nintendo online sub

  • Owairio Anime Style Barrack Obama (@Owairio) reported

    @barbieorlanda It might also be on the N64 nintendo online service for switch! I know that at least OOT is so far.

  • JackminJames JackminFPS13 (@JackminJames) reported

    Definitely changing my channels content around to Pokémon games Pokémon pack ripping and other things Nintendo. Only problem I have is I need to get my switch back from my friend lmao.

  • Demo_Kirby Demokirby (@Demo_Kirby) reported

    @MisterAddons I mean ragging on the Master System is just being mean, Sega was making a best go at Nintendo's dominance and 3rd party restrictions with it. N64s real problems (I don't consider controller or video smear actually problems of the time) stem from Nintendos own ego.

  • BEEPINGNERDS BEEPINGNERDS (@BEEPINGNERDS) reported

    @antdude92 @UltimaShadowX I remember seeing this in my Nintendo Power, and my mother yanked the magazine out of my hand thinking it was an error with a more mature magazine

  • 12Hxvenus M (@12Hxvenus) reported

    We’re in mercury in rx shadow period and my nintendo switch won’t turn on 🥲 already having problems ig

  • rebolledo_inaki Clemente Iñaki Rebolledo (@rebolledo_inaki) reported

    @EAHelp I am experiencing a problem in FIFA 22 where when I take a free-kick I don't see the circle so that I can aim. My platform is Nintendo Switch. Please help me

  • iminabandjb JAB Leone (@iminabandjb) reported

    @LoganPaul I’m 37 years old. I remember when these bad boys came out. Been a Nintendo nerd since I was 4 (1988). I’m not even a Jake Paul fan but I am not mad at all at this. These could all be broken ones. Who knows and why should we care? There’s more out there. This is dope AF

  • LuminaryVohris Vohris (@LuminaryVohris) reported

    @writersflood @Helexzura Ye, I was saying that you could still play on Nintendo’s plastic box, but have access to PlayStation’s games. You already have access to Crash Bandicoot, Spyro, Final Fantasy, Ori, and Cuphead So what’s the difference?

  • liminal_warmth Liminal Warmth ❤ (@liminal_warmth) reported

    At 9 years old I could not for the life of me solve this I didn't have the internet, none of my friends had played the game, and no one I asked had any idea I scoured issues of Nintendo Power at the library looking for the answer FOR MONTHS

  • patricknotirl patrick (@patricknotirl) reported

    nintendo wii broken

  • dancingships Maggy (@dancingships) reported

    How the hell do you send bug issues to @NintendoAmerica?? I cant even sign into MyNintendo account because the button is grayed out… they really need to fix the issue with remodeling Villagers houses & not being able go give them wreaths w/o paying 9k!!! #acnh #AnimalCrossing

  • GalvanTheGod ♡ R/S | GALVAN! ♡ (@GalvanTheGod) reported

    @Trysty102 @MajorDcps Crash, Spyro, and Rachet&Clank aren't even nearly as good imo. Those are B rate Nintendo imitation games that release few and far between. It's laughable to think that'll make me happy. Not my cup of tea. (2/2)

  • 4ndr311999 FlashLink99 (@4ndr311999) reported

    @GroveStGames Fix the Trilogy first, it still needs some work, especially on Nintendo Switch

  • ScreaminJWalkin Jesse, is tired. (@ScreaminJWalkin) reported

    Did Nintendo ever fix the Switch's joy-con drift issue?

  • thenewsimon Simon Wilson (@thenewsimon) reported

    @NintendoAmerica bug in Animal Crossing for switch. Can’t load game when on WiFi with no internet. Have to enable airplane mode. But then can’t use wireless controllers. Please fix!

  • Nate99125604 Paladin N8 (@Nate99125604) reported

    @seasaltcosmos @AboutNintendo Plus nintendo of "'MARICUH!" are really JUST a advertising and PR firm... No caps on the name of nintenDON'T due to absolutely anti-consumer decisions. PS: I am American... But I have fun with decent humor making fun of us. Like the football issue.

  • Advooooo_ Advo (@Advooooo_) reported

    If Nintendo actually fixes their lag problem then lag rules can be enforced. I feel like lag rules are a little janky rn mainly because of Nintendo deciding to be *** at programming good games. Bad netcode, low tick rate and non existent servers

  • dizzydragonflyy logan huntzberger apologist (@dizzydragonflyy) reported

    there’s no reason for nintendo to be selling joycons for $80 if they know that there are issues with them

  • rogulj7 Christopher Rogulj (@rogulj7) reported

    @MojangSupport experiencing download issues with markedsplass on version 1.18.2 on nintendo switch. Nothing showing up, just loading indefenitly...

  • CeeganS DuoStuff #MonikaGang #AnotherMonikaMod (@CeeganS) reported

    @JulianSlick Okay. I just think it was weird to only specify the Nintendo systems when this problem was far more prominent on the PS2/Xbox. (Although despite that those systems are still fun.)

  • funkyneurotic Patti Marcellus 🏳️‍🌈 (@funkyneurotic) reported

    @DrJayDrNo Oh I remember it well. Also… I blew on a Nintendo Switch game card yesterday after it had a read error…

  • g_tm64 TM64G (@g_tm64) reported

    @makeupasplatfan this wouldn't be a problem if Nintendo didn't stop making amiibos for no reason

  • Jamesjimmyjimm 𝚓𝚊𝚖𝚎𝚜 𝚕𝚊𝚠𝚕𝚘𝚛 (@Jamesjimmyjimm) reported

    So. Is Nintendo ever going to fix the N64 input lag on the switch?

  • lamp856 Joe West-Taylor (@lamp856) reported

    @onterrian Wow. Nintendo seriously needs to fix this game, there's so much discovery of glitches in this game.

  • FuckOffAndDie18 DepressedDude69 (@FuckOffAndDie18) reported

    @GamingBoy256 @IntroSpecktive They started doing paid DLCs and added an online service requirement, but they still have to add micro-transactions and Lootboxes unlike the rest, so i doubt Nintendo will jump on NFTs any time soon. Not for innocence, just for speed

  • g_tm64 TM64G (@g_tm64) reported

    @makeupasplatfan wouldn't be a problem if Nintendo didn't stop making them for don't reason

  • IrishNerdLife Irish Nerd Life (@IrishNerdLife) reported

    @GalaOfEarth I finally got it out with some brute force. I think the problem is that it's a third party card and may not have been constructed as well as the Nintendo ones. There is now marks from the guide rails on the memory pack!

  • Trippertrasher MWAsh (@Trippertrasher) reported

    @EAHelp is there an issue with your nintendo switch servers currently? My daughter is unable to connect to knockout city due to the following error- 1.46#4002. Please can you advise?
