  • AbeMechanoid Abe Mechanoid 🤖 VTuber (@AbeMechanoid) reported

  • nexgen999 nexgen infinity (@nexgen999) reported

    @LightningMods_ But Xbox error IS Fake... Nintendo want remove retroarch from store.. And Xbox view people are angry so.... They Come back... Same as Xbox Live gold.. same story...

  • PrismaticSeal PrismaticSeal (@PrismaticSeal) reported

    @_quillmonger @AboutNintendo @NintendoAmerica Is funny, because Nintendo also is ****** and evil cuz they wont fix their joycons to not adress the issue they are faulty so they dont lose the lawsuit, not as evil as someone using a deceased person legacy to market a scam but still evil

  • Quack0i_ Quack0i 🏳️‍🌈🦆 (@Quack0i_) reported

    @AboutNintendo @KissTheSkyMedi1 @NintendoAmerica if you really want to get them in trouble with something, report them on twitter for hateful content or impersonating etika. nintendo realistically doesn't have any ground for this

  • 000_004 l._.eaf (@000_004) reported

    Why is it so difficult to do 4v4 matches on Smash? I did not ask for 3v3 so do not put me in those matches @NintendoAmerica fix your ****

  • marcardofan64 MCF64 (@marcardofan64) reported

    @contxtsonic @KaryoCat @RealUltraFox I don’t think anything “bad” with the game itself. It’s pretty fun and the Endless mode was nice feature. I think the problem is how Nintendo handled it. $10 was probably a bit too much, you couldn’t play offline, and the game just ATE a lot of data.

  • EvanAndMir2 EvanAndMir (@EvanAndMir2) reported

    @WinthrupJ @PlayAvengers Well, that's too bad, because Nintendo has the license for the Ultimate Alliance games now. So, either get used to live service games, or get used to playing games on a switch!

  • AlexMcKeever2 Alex McKeever - アレックスマッキーバー (@AlexMcKeever2) reported

    @spectre_635 @ModernVintageG I’m not exactly a developer but I’ve dabbled in code here and there. It wouldn’t surprise me if it’s because of the partnership with Nintendo given Nintendo’s history of blaming emulation on their issues with piracy due to the demand for games they themselves can’t legally offer.

  • WrenchWeasel Wrench Yinglet, Patriarch Of Boom Zhings (@WrenchWeasel) reported

    @Kipper_snax That sucks, I'm sorry. :( On the upside, Nintendo will repair or replace your Joy-Con for free if the troubleshooting doesn't fix it.

  • Amr9G Amr (@Amr9G) reported

    @AlexanderWhos change region of nintendo acc i got this error before

  • KawlunDram kawlums (@KawlunDram) reported

    Here’s a tip about Nintendo leakers (and games leakers in general) If they have a worse track record than a broken clock, STOP GIVING THEM ATTENTION

  • StarcasM85 StarcasM (@StarcasM85) reported

    @getonthestiix @Mr_InfernoX0Psx And what about Nintendo raising the price of it's online service, merely adding N64 & Sega Genesis titles?? Where's the backward compatibility on the Switch??? Services, Huh???

  • LinneaJuliet linear equation👩🏼‍🚀 (@LinneaJuliet) reported

    @NintendoAmerica i keep calling the customer service phone number but the phone keeps disconnecting after i get “put in line” plz help

  • Mogulseeker Nate (@Mogulseeker) reported

    @justintross @kkdumez See also: Gerber, MgGee & Me, Spiritual Warfare (on Nintendo), Psalty.... I remember going to the church library after service and getting to pick out the cassettes and/or VHS tapes and/or books for the week.

  • GoldenHelikaon Vicky (@GoldenHelikaon) reported

    Hm now what is my Nintendo login...🤔

  • OppaiZenpaii Zenpaii(≧▽≦) (@OppaiZenpaii) reported

    @wewerenishiki I'll give you 2 Nintendo trying to explain why their 15yr old+ games ported over to the switch cost £50 when they've changed nothing Nintendo trying to explain why you have to pay money for an online service that doesn't work and sucks ****

  • huckhound58 Huckleberry Hound (@huckhound58) reported

    How to fix your dying Nintendo Wii console. What you will need: -Screwdriver -Hammer Step 1: Pry the bottom case part off of the system. Step 2: Gently set the screwdriver on the Hollywood chip. Step 3: Hit the screwdriver really hard with the hammer to put a hole in the chip.

  • TermStayRes Terminate and Stay Resident (@TermStayRes) reported

    @KevinMKruse Does it work like a Nintendo cartridge? Will this fix it?

  • patricknotirl patrick (@patricknotirl) reported

    nintendo wii broken

  • Dangerously_Ben DangerouslyStupid (@Dangerously_Ben) reported

    @Spectrobits @ArloStuff I know the question is for Arlo obviously, but this just got me thinking about my thoughts on it. The funny thing is that the problem that Nintendo faces and has faced with Amiibo is that it's such a NINTENDO problem. They love doing their blue ocean, "innovation" in gaming 1/?

  • Quack0i_ Quack0i 🏳️‍🌈🦆 (@Quack0i_) reported

    @KissTheSkyMedi1 @AboutNintendo @NintendoAmerica what's nintendo gonna do about this??? you cant get in trouble for vaguely drawing joycons

  • steven_wheat CFC C.O.E. 20/21 (@steven_wheat) reported

    @trustyfuttrader EA isnt concerned about legal action but they are concerned about bad PR. Media involvement will get their attention. Years ago @kksl1der successfully got EA to take action on some Nintendo Switch issues. Liam - do you know anybody who will write up a story on these hacks?

  • PakoHedgeDog ★Pako★ (@PakoHedgeDog) reported

    @BettisMarquiss It sucks that that's the case for there terrible netcode, love nintendo but seriously they need to fix that issue That's why I'm scared to play Smash online tbh... 😓

  • Invader_Zeta Zeta (@Invader_Zeta) reported

    I can't believe Nintendo gives their business to United Radio. Joy-con drift is a widespread issue. United Radio shouldn't lie and pretend they couldn't replicate the joy-con drift I was experiencing.

  • hexamath Hexamath (@hexamath) reported

    @theaontwt Demonix³’s Nintendo account is set in Europe (don’t ask) and I have trouble playing any online games that require the Online Membership. So, I created Greenie² to set it in the Americas so I could play. The servers I connected to were still Asian, funnily enough. Nintendo weird.

  • hannahjayne23 hannah (@hannahjayne23) reported

    Because of shipping issues that were resolved I am getting two Nintendo switches for the price of one 🤭

  • YukiKazeko Yuki「Friend to ALL」 (@YukiKazeko) reported

    @LocalPizzaBox Not many people owned a Nintendo Switch. (Limited pre-orders, remember?) So with: the limited amount of Switches circulating BotW being WAY MORE POPULAR And I dropped the game around the time MK8D released ...Yeah, not many reasons FOR server issues.
