    @ilan_profile To be fair, Microsoft is the best when it comes to backwards compatibility and they give a lot of ways to play games from the original Xbox There’s just one small problem tho, there aren’t alot of classics or good games there XD At least compared to Sony and Nintendo

  • d3_books d3_books (@d3_books) reported

    @NintendoAmerica Disclaimer! The narrator is not in the games so don’t be deceived this game has no voice acting it’s flawed it’s broken, it has missing Pokémon.

  • ShaunChiefEFC Shaun Davies (@ShaunChiefEFC) reported

    @SamsungMobile have had my phone for over 3 weeks, Samsung have had my money (£192) since the 19th March, yet my phone still hasn't come back or any updates! Yet Nintendo fixed my girls Switch and had it back to us in a week! Awful service from Samsung!! 😠😠

  • TheChrisGlass Chris Glass (@TheChrisGlass) reported

    The Nintendo Switch had a new update... v12.0.0. And it's just a bug fix update.

  • bemyyyy ******* (@bemyyyy) reported

    @dragon_alt @The_Pickle578 Can’t be Nintendo, the original price on Amazon before Nintendo selects was 40 dollars, with Nintendo selects it was 20, and this was during when Nintendo supported the wii, they don’t change Wii prices anymore, so either it’s an amazon error or amazon is being scummy.

  • Soda_Breads Eggs Benedicked (@Soda_Breads) reported

    I hope nintendo brings crash bandicoot to smash but as a swordfighter just to anger all of the people who complain about swordfighters

  • Maysaristhename Maysar(Commissions open???) (@Maysaristhename) reported

    @ActualAero I don't really get it because the times i've used the Nintendo Online VC, I just plugged my regular earbuds in my phone to hear/talk and listened to the game through my tv/system? I dont see what the problem is, can still hear both. If you use discord, its basically the same way

  • iridescentaudio DAVEHA~1.MID (@iridescentaudio) reported

    The more I think about this the angrier I am. The screws in question (middle screws underneath where the joycons sit) aren't even necessary. It smacks of tamper-proofing, because Nintendo want you to send it to them to fix. No idea how I will open it, short of breaking it open.

  • liam_bonsall Liam Bonsall (@liam_bonsall) reported

    Is anyone having problems with Nintendo e shop on Switch @NintendoUK #NintendoSwitch

  • CryptoAl_ex Alex (@CryptoAl_ex) reported

    @cryptorangutang Is there really no problem between this project and the Pokemon Company / Nintendo? Legitimate question, I just don't know how it goes unchallenged

  • Raxcental 🎮Rax Do A Game🎮 (@Raxcental) reported

    @nintendolife If it's just a bug fix then why the hell does it have a major version change? Nintendo is really just trying to anger people aren't they?

  • Cole81567230 Koleheckman (@Cole81567230) reported

    @Respawn I just got Apex Legends on Nintendo Switch and it is so fun but sometimes I can’t play for like 1 day or 2 because of some little bug I love your game hope you can fix it oh yeah and I was wondering just since it came out on switch if you could make like a special Ninte-

  • khaledweboi675 خالد( سو ساد 🥲) (@khaledweboi675) reported

    @eve95640107 @xKingNightx @FortniteStatus My guy why do you think that fortnite will be on the switch pro ? If they didn't fix the game on switch I hope that Nintendo never puts it on the new console before they fix the game on switch

  • Trail_txt monster hunter rise enjoyer (@Trail_txt) reported

    @alish_r1 I'm pretty sure it is finished or nearly done, i think itll be spread like crazy online by the time Nintendo issues a c&d

  • AndrewBradley21 Andrew Scherbatsky (@AndrewBradley21) reported

    @B0bHardy My 1st game was Crash Team Racing on PS1 and it's funny tho coz I asked for Christmas a Nintendo GameCube and my mom gave PS1 Idk how she got confused, I was angry coz I wanted to play Mario Kart and Smash but then I went to store and bought CTR and I enjoyed more than I thought

  • barto_lol_mew bartowyeah 7️⃣ (@barto_lol_mew) reported

    VIDEO PREDICTION - Nintendo wifi connection The online gaming service on the DS and WII, interesting it sure is, this could be a LONG video, but as he has said he wasnt too familiar with the internet during this era in his mariokart wii video, it'll probably be average duration

  • HueyVintage Vintage_huey (@HueyVintage) reported

    @GAMER1984dude @Reecee_yt @NintendoAmerica It sold well because of brainless idiots like yourself supported a flawed broken messed up game.

  • slowlydeeply gritty kitty bitche$ (@slowlydeeply) reported

    Why did it take so long for Nintendo to get that newest crash bandicoot it’s about time game

  • vDeadbolt Deadbolt (@vDeadbolt) reported

    @PatitoSsbm @PracticalTAS Nintendo wouldn't let that slide. They shut down the big house because they were using emulators. If Nintendo catches xanadu, then it could mean trouble.

  • kanelibell Fran @ yugioh brainrot (@kanelibell) reported

    From what I’ve seen aswell there are a few more problems besides these and also don’t get me wrong there are elements of the game that are original too and then there are elements where I’m literally shocked Nintendo didn’t press lawsuits

  • PrinceDemetre Demetre ♕ Durham (@PrinceDemetre) reported from Los Angeles, California

    @NasirNeutron @okBEAUX Facts! Also, If it is, you can send it to Nintendo and they’ll fix it.

  • nathan2smm NathanSMM (@nathan2smm) reported

    @TO4Dw @Itay_tmr Nintendo needs to fix their stuff, how tf did they mess up this bad?

  • deathflared ️️ ️️️️️️️️️ (@deathflared) reported

  • MNeko MNeko (@MNeko) reported

    @NintendoAmerica Google Chrome won't let me interact with the Nintendo web site properly. I keep getting errors with a Blooper (squid) any time I try to redeem codes. What's up?

  • EggParidot Mr JACK0 (@EggParidot) reported

    @FortniteStatus Fix the Nintendo switch lite gameplay it was so great until season 6 came it feels like I’m playing on a really bad mobile
