  • edritchBurrito Burrito ™ (@edritchBurrito) reported

    @Hello_Cactus @Laughlin4 @NintendoAmerica You're completely missing the issue. Like it's 100% flying right over your head while it's shitting on you

  • kurintooo Princess Neo ~ Mobius-Haver (@kurintooo) reported

    @Atlus_West Still unable to download this game. The error code keeps popping up. Thanks Nintendo

  • NintendoShame Nintendo Shame (@NintendoShame) reported

    It's been 239 days since the last game was added to the Nintendo Switch Online service

  • Zillatron5000 Gerry (@Zillatron5000) reported

    @NintendoEurope How generous Nintendo. Service is a joke. It should be a much larger library available. Gamepass and even ps+ makes a mockery of this Nintendo service.

  • PSI_4ce PSI Force (@PSI_4ce) reported

    @retrogameremix @Nintendo Even with the Booster Pack from MK8DX, the Expansion Pass is still not really too worth it, ur better off doing some netplay on an N64 emulator than throw more money on an already mediocre online service They still have yet to fix it...

  • kurintooo Princess Neo ~ Mobius-Haver (@kurintooo) reported

    @Atlus_West Not unable to download the game because of the error. Thanks Nintendo

  • HalfPint_Prince 🏝️ Halfpint 🏝️ VV Zine (@HalfPint_Prince) reported

    Nintendo fixed the issue...thank goodness

  • CatTom_NG Cattom (@CatTom_NG) reported

    @PyraKms Yeah but theres still another game coming in the future. And im gonna burn down Nintendo if i dont get crash bandicoot

  • Seanlafs Skorner64 (@Seanlafs) reported

    @Brandino1103 @Simpson_761 @ELDENRING So you can add them to future purchases other than just a seperate "approved items" list, thats nice. Only problem is their visibility in the store. I had no idea I was accruing them through purchases, thought it was just Gamepass quests. Nintendo makes things easy..I like easy.

  • DonaldBergin2 Donald Bergin (@DonaldBergin2) reported

    @sincespacies The Wii Speak Channel ceased functionality after May 20, 2014 since the free Nintendo Wi-Fi Connection service was discontinued. 🤔

  • jrsowash John R. Sowash (@jrsowash) reported

    @Mr_Brilla @soundtrapstudio My son and I figured out how to stream and record from his Nintendo switch to a chromebook. It's a bit of trial and error but we got it to work!

  • HenerzH Henry Harling (@HenerzH) reported

    @IGN I share a big family 4k sub with a couple of mates. Nowt wrong with it. Nintendo actively encourages this. I don't see the issue. As soon as you can't do that anymore I will be canceling my sub.

  • thatstevecena Stephen Cena (@thatstevecena) reported

    @BobWulff Whoa whoa whoa..... @NintendoAmerica added games to its online service? I mean, weren't we just blessed with F-Zero for N64? The expansion pack is so not worth it......

  • VentiVROfficial VentiVR (@VentiVROfficial) reported

    Mario Kart DLC and Kou week 2 Releasing on the same day Glitch and Nintendo are hiding something....

  • stickndstone potatoplebby (@stickndstone) reported

    @NintendoEurope Nintendo online Expansion pass is just an overpriced glorified nostalgia cashgrab, plus the online service is garbage as **** even with good internet. At least put the money in better services instead of turning them into tho 69th version of a mario game

  • SerenitySeraphi Heather Sclafani (@SerenitySeraphi) reported

    @DieselMcgee @FortniteBRFeed You should be able to log in to Fortnite epic store by your console login (Nintendo, Xbox, PS4/PS5) unless you play via pc.

  • lawyit Lawyit-vtuber (@lawyit) reported

    @vvarrrgs @NintendoAmerica Nah this is likely going to cause the game to be dead in the water,this is its secound delay (likely from internal issues with recent events being used as an excuse) and it now no longer even has a release date,its effectivly soft canceled because this conflict will likly1/2

  • ChimeGanda Chimecho Propaganda (@ChimeGanda) reported

    Anyone else having a problem with Nintendo E-Shop/NSO lately?

  • TreeDemoil TreeDeMoil🏳️‍⚧️ (@TreeDemoil) reported

    @SNobusuke @TropicalMaku AM2R would have been fine if Nintendo wasn’t remaking Metroid 2 themselves. GF shut down the Pokémon ones because they had a patreon iirc and thus were monetized which was the issue. GF let’s fan games and rom hacks exist without much issue usually.

  • MaikelSchoeber maikelMblaster (@MaikelSchoeber) reported

    @NintendoAmerica Fix the textures

  • Snivy932 Rob Williams (@Snivy932) reported

    @beemoh @JoSofte @NintendoUK All "mega drive" games on the NSO service are all the genesis roms so they can run at 60Hz with no squished screen, all games on the service use the genesis covers to let users know this

  • CornPopThaBad Cornpop (@CornPopThaBad) reported

    @NintendoAmerica Your eShop is sleeping. It's it going to wake up anytime soon? I have money waiting for you Nintendo, hook it up with some service please.

  • MajorasMoon21 Majora’s Matt Gaming (@MajorasMoon21) reported
