  • zwafflezV4 in my grits era (@zwafflezV4) reported

    @I_d_k_m_a_n_ Nintendo as a whole did this somehow, people mad at free stuff but if that same stuff had a price tag there wouldn't be an issue

  • petrochemicsoul Fix Your Heart or Die. (@petrochemicsoul) reported

    Thing is, no matter what Nintendo says, Samus will forever be a body horror monstrosity if you so much as scrape against her human seeming. "Hey, Samus, been a bit. Did you always have a bunch of visible energy-absorbing organs?" "...Sure." "Ah, okay, sorry." "Not a problem.'

  • ___firestar Francis Seaman (@___firestar) reported

    @wh3resmycar @IGN Clearly you seem dead set on this opinion, which is fine, but as you can see, you are very much the minority in this regard. I have many issues with Nintendo, but them offering a good remaster that runs well on the switches hardware and at a decent price is not one of them.

  • CurlySquare pushing 20 (@CurlySquare) reported

    @ponettplus bill gates himself wanted john nintendo to fix this but they wouldn't so he had to step in with some money

  • the_papajones Jonas Joseph Alvarez (@the_papajones) reported

    @Nintendo Here is one solution regarding your game leaking early. Just release it digitally for the first 2-3 weeks. After that then do the physical. It isn't ideal but it fixes your leaking out early problem. Do that. Fans can ve the best and worst at times @NintendoAmerica

  • drc_gamin Dave (@drc_gamin) reported

    @SatonakaKenji @NintendoAmerica Oh yeah and swords have like no great movement and only 1 range not counting levin sword. You claim your framme solos maps but i doubt you are playing the harder difficulties because of this otherwise you would not be confused to my problem with swords in FE.

  • DreddStarin Bracardi Curry! (@DreddStarin) reported

    @giugabs I'm not saying they can't do it. It's actually quite refreshing to not know a lot about the game before release. But the problem is that people are so starved for info that it increases the chance of leaks by a lot. Something that could've been alleviated by Nintendo a little.

  • CommonPaco Paco (@CommonPaco) reported

    @NintendoAmerica @Wario64 Patch the game utterly broken

  • cruelgay MIRA || radahns husband ! ☆ (@cruelgay) reported

    begging nintendo to fix their online servers so i don’t have to keep playing salmon run

  • kunvln Ari (@kunvln) reported

    @BriHyrule @NintyPrime Nintendo’s legal team will have a hard time getting a copyright infringement against him specifically because he’s not the one leaking it. He’s making videos showing you other people’s posts. The original leaker is the one that could run into problems… if they can find them.

  • paracuandolarue Rue #yoshination (@paracuandolarue) reported

    Nintendo didn't add jonesy to smash because he would be too broken

  • cbfarrar Vash The Stampede (@cbfarrar) reported

    @NintendoAmerica Does this version of the switch run Pokemon Scarlet/Violet without having all the known bug and problems with the game?

  • BCKingGames BCKingGames (@BCKingGames) reported

    NINTENDO PLEASE FIX YOUR FREAKIN' ONLINE!

  • BartMan247 Bart (@BartMan247) reported

    @KevinFSchlep I hate Vizio. I got burn in on a Vizio plasma years ago from a nintendo game and their customer service blows

  • basedtweetsonly fi (@basedtweetsonly) reported

    @NintendoAmerica Fix the game it’s trash

  • Venom1998ert19 Venom1998ert19 (He/Him) (@Venom1998ert19) reported

    @NintendoAmerica One question what Nintendo gaming consoles are discontinued or continued because I have a Nintendo GameCube (Works but the disc tray is broken), SNES (Console Broken), GameBoy (Console Broken), I used to have a Nintendo 64.

  • ignuBignuL LungiBungi (@ignuBignuL) reported

    @cbfarrar @NintendoAmerica I haven’t run into a single issue once

  • Zuthua Zuthua (@Zuthua) reported

    @NintendoAmerica just reprint old GBA/DS games already, or put them on a digital service thats actually good. im tired of seeing my childhood sell for hundreds on ebay when I just wanna play something that makes me happy.

  • rjbeasterw98 wRjbeasterw98 (@rjbeasterw98) reported

    @NintendoAmerica Did yall ****** fix the ******* greenish tints on the ******* oled switch and the yellowish tints ?

  • iColi3_ JadaPinkett ShakurAlsina Smith TROUBLE (@iColi3_) reported

    Playing crash bandicoot on my daughter Nintendo switch 🙌🏾😎

  • FadeFennix Fen (@FadeFennix) reported

    @StuckiJake Same thing as galaxy, press R on the joycon or pro controller and use the motion sense to create a cursor. Trust me Nintendo would find a fix around it

  • ERRORCODIE Codie 🐀🍵 VTuber (@ERRORCODIE) reported

    I have been lying flat on my back on my bedroom floor for an hour, listening to Nintendo wii themes on my speaker I believe this is a symptom of a larger problem (⁠‘⁠◉⁠⌓⁠◉⁠’⁠)

  • SmolLemonss Lemons 🫶🏻🍋 (@SmolLemonss) reported

    I finally contacted Nintendo support so I can fix my switch my ex broke. Soon I’ll be able to play Animal Crossing again and other games I’ve missed dearly. 🥹

  • holyshitcheetos bea (@holyshitcheetos) reported

    and the answer is "on an original nintendo DS whose hinge is broken"

  • substitub3 Substitube OFFICIAL (@substitub3) reported

    @DPPt_Shitpost that's usually more of a re-seller issue than Nintendo's...probably. Ports and re-releases would help tho

  • YoSahop YoSahop (@YoSahop) reported

    @ScottyWilsonSr It should be a forever PS+ at this point. Nintendo doesn’t do a service to themselves holding games back at high prices, but Sony selling the same game at $60-70 back to back lightweight robbery. Either way, PC ****** Winning this whole situation

  • jayjedi1 jay Metzner (@jayjedi1) reported

    @rhtaran @RetroBlastUS Yeah the only thi g I see that working on is local co-op. Those Jagers need perfect synchro to work and I've heard too many problems with lag and disconnects on Nintendo online. So this would have to be either XboxS or PS5 exclusive

  • ShivRoulemet Siobhan "Shiv" Roulemet 🍥 (@ShivRoulemet) reported

    @Silksterrr @kiwithesmol And I'm not the one out here trying to cancel people because my feelings got hurt. I give my money to Nintendo, and SquareEnix, and Amazon, and other companies that have issues. There's no innocent consumerism. These people only try to cancel **** that's convenient.

  • TylerJohnsonPDX Tyler Johnson (@TylerJohnsonPDX) reported

    @SuperLiveGaming on my Nintendo switch it says that your offline is it an issue with my Switch or did you remove me as a friend?

  • briannakane Bree 🍄 (@briannakane) reported

    @VirticonTTV I know one tweet that was written poorly without context about Nintendo from you, someone who hasn't put up much of a standing argument yet on the issue we were actually discussing. I'll research that on my own time-- I don't jump when a random stranger tells me to.
