    @MOVIELORD101 @antdude92 I mean, a character doesn't have to have a significant history with Nintendo to begin with (take Joker for example). As long as they originate from a video game they qualify. Not to mention Crash is kinda one of the bigger gaming icons, so I get why a lot of people wanted him.

  • jetthejudge Jet (@jetthejudge) reported

    @DolimiccanDerg @BenjiSales The library is just okay at best, that's the problem. If Nintendo actually made games of their past quality and standards, then maybe I could let some of their bullshit slide but they don't even do that anymore.

  • WeebCultur3 WeebCulture (@WeebCultur3) reported

    @bluethunder1228 @AWonderfulSound @NintendoAmerica If the exp share was balanced and heavily nerfed then people would have no problem with it being forced, but the exp share is ******* broken even in swsh, people want the ability to toggle it off because it atleast allows the player to have lower level Pokémon and give them a

  • carloalbino Carlo Albino (@carloalbino) reported

    @kb1140 @NintendoAmerica Yo! I've bee getting this for weeks too. I can't even buy controllers. Customer service didn't do anything! Nintendo can you help?

  • TheDoDoGuy TheDo-DoGuy (@TheDoDoGuy) reported

    Bc if you don't pay the online service you can't use that dlc so basically what I'm saying Nintendo is you should have made just the n64 games a free addition like the nes and snes I see through your lies and BS Nintendo trying to make people pay more you all done ****** up.

  • solaries_ Solaries ❄ (@solaries_) reported

    @DabuzSenpai People not realizing you're joking 😭 Still it does feel really frustrating how Nintendo gives these pseudo 'buffs' instead of fixing actual fundamental problems. If jab 1 was safe on shield it wouldn't break the character...

  • MOVIELORD101 Steve Kidd (@MOVIELORD101) reported

    @antdude92 Why were some people insisting on Crash in Smash? He has no significant history with Nintendo. At least with Kingdom Hearts a good chunk of the original ports of the side-games were on the CBA, DS and 3DS!

  • NoctaireSoul Noctaire De Las Sombras (@NoctaireSoul) reported

    @concraft338 @GamingBoy256 @NintendoAmerica Yeah, that's what I said. People bitching about the Cease and Desist are babies that don't understand that terms of service are a thing.

  • squirtleace 🦇🎃🌘AceTrainerSquirtle🌒🎃🦇 (@squirtleace) reported

    @NintendoAmerica And the My Nintendo service has finally been validated.

  • Ralph10068762 Bup Boy (@Ralph10068762) reported

    @MLFoxwell @MOVIELORD101 @antdude92 I think he means history of being ON Nintendo consoles. But even with that logic, he'd still be wrong since the early Crash games had GBA ports.

  • SinisterBeing1 Spooky Dunlop 🎾🔪🎃 (@SinisterBeing1) reported

    @murochuu Sounds like trial and error to me, aka Nintendo hard.

  • AZChick924 Amber (@AZChick924) reported

    @TheSwitchForce Totally just tweeted yesterday's GMM from the 5:29 mark to BOTH the Japanese and Nintendo America Twitter accounts. I'm with you and hoping that they do more to fix this mess they've created.

  • Rawdawgski Nick Widowski, Male Gigolowski (@Rawdawgski) reported

    @FragAllZoomers @NintendoAmerica I hope no one takes your advice. Dread selling well means more Metroid. Also it's a single-player game that has nothing to do with the online service.

  • Ashton68781988 Ashton (@Ashton68781988) reported

    @Warden201 @NintendoUK Crash will get his chance in the next installment !

  • multi_echo_rep Echo (@multi_echo_rep) reported

    @snoosnoo13 I had pokemon home already so I didn't mind the swsh issue plus I remember Nintendo always having issues carrying things over from gen to gen without adaptors and a bunch of hoops. VA missing etc are all agreed points. Definitely think they should just commit to a full story

  • dark_tamara DarkTamara (@dark_tamara) reported

    @MOVIELORD101 @antdude92 Crash has had games on nintendo systems in the early 2000s, and both the N-Sane Trilogy and Crash 4 are also on the Switch soooooooo

  • icelikestwice ice™ │ 🧪 (@icelikestwice) reported

    my nintendo switch's zr button is broken 💔

  • Shonnieb2 Topdog' The Last Real Brotha Alive (@Shonnieb2) reported

    @xbot42 @TheXboxPost @Nick_Marseil And Xbox has failed every generation because they have no talented studio's, gamepass was only created because xfans don't buy games, Nintendo and Sony don't have that problem.

  • santalunecity santalune city (@santalunecity) reported

    @FrootyNoir is he broken?? i feel like they’d make him like bayonetta to ruin th whole *** competitive scene cus nintendo are silly

  • MLFoxwell Matthew Foxwell (@MLFoxwell) reported

    @MOVIELORD101 @antdude92 He does have history with Nintendo though. The same at Sonic did. Crash acted as a rival to Mario during the N64/PS1 console war.

  • SkriIIaT T🇸🇴🇳🇱 (@SkriIIaT) reported

    @OrigiGreatness It will try to be on everything. Bigger companies i.e. Apple/Google may try to make it more complicated for Microsoft, but small dogs like Sony/Nintendo pose no threat to MS creating consoles. Microsoft is investing hugely on this service so profitability in the future inevitable

  • Giffendulum Klaasje 🕺 (@Giffendulum) reported

    @NintendoUK I am trying to set up my debit card on my Nintendo switch lite but it's not working and therefore I cannot buy anything on the eshop. My card is fine and works for everything else in my life, just not my Nintendo switch lite for some reason? Please help!

  • TheDoDoGuy TheDo-DoGuy (@TheDoDoGuy) reported

    I see right through your lies Nintendo charging more for an online service by giving us sega games that people can go buy for 30 bucks from the sega collection on switch an animal crossing dlc that people who don't play it won't care about and they don't even own the dlc either

  • realbrianmullin Brian Mullin (@realbrianmullin) reported

    @venser92 @bradxperez Uh huh. It's not like we used to get fully made games that didn't need us to download additional stuff to fix issues that shouldn't be in the game to begin with. Tell me, how many patches did you download on your Nintendo 64? None.

  • altyo_ ُ (@altyo_) reported

    Alr good night y’all I finally asked my dad to fix my phone so hopefully ion lose my Nintendo account

  • AdrianR79844649 Wild Pants (@AdrianR79844649) reported

    @Jakal_SS So if they double it he'd get $200 instead of $100? Think it's a nintendo not supporting their community problem

  • goshblox2007 🦅 🇺🇸 Golden Eagle 🇺🇸 🦅 (@goshblox2007) reported

    @mcsquiddies I'd love if Nintendo just made the online function free and instead served a retro gamepass. I would pay $50 if we had a gamepass service with NES all the way up to Gamecube. Also why are cloud saves a paid feature? Even Xbox gives free cloud saves.

  • OrigiGreatness OddAIs #HokagoPlushClub🐰 (@OrigiGreatness) reported

    @SkriIIaT Consoles is directly against the core of GP. Services like Netflix are successful because they are everywhere. The existence of the consoles is making Sony and Nintendo not want to accept GP because it's a service from a competitor.

  • OrigiGreatness OddAIs #HokagoPlushClub🐰 (@OrigiGreatness) reported

    @SkriIIaT Killing the console so that the service can go on PS and Nintendo is access to way more users than the console will ever provide.

  • Mariussa04 Marius 🇳🇴 (@Mariussa04) reported

    Does anyone know how to add less then 10 USD (100 NOK) to the Nintendo Eshop balance? Im trying to purchase the Sora DLC, but cant buy him the regular way because it gives me an error code when entering my credit card.
