    @DOC_DARK1985 Phil said game was was only a sustainable service...not a profitable one. Phil said xbox bowed out the console war...they are fighting stadia and amazon....not dony and Nintendo. Phil said more bad news is on the way

    @NintendoAmerica My first Switch OLED had issues with green tint and the screen looking grainy sometimes. I exchanged it for a new one and this one has these problems even worse. What’s going on with the OLED displays? If I send it to Nintendo repair will they fix it?

  • Hypnocrite Tomm Hulett (@Hypnocrite) reported

    @IvanDashSmith @cynixy I tested summers for 2 years, then he paid me to do level and boss design for an indie PC game, then a few years later I started an indie group and we had Nintendo license status. Where’s the part where I’m not working for years?

  • DanielTirino Daniel Tirino (@DanielTirino) reported

    @jotanet Hey, your game Jack Quest is broken on the Nintendo Switch, it crashes on the spider boss fight, could someone fix it please?

  • STAGEBLOQ STAGEBLOQ (@STAGEBLOQ) reported

    @GRIMMYRAX @Entercheatcode I’d invest in that. The problem is allocating their first party away from the PlayStation and spread them thin. Nintendo solved that problem for themselves by making a hybrid. Sony was well on their way to something similar to the hybridization like the switch long ago.

    @RinoTheBouncer About there games they see Nintendo does basically no wrong everyone even forgot about the whole extend service for n64 games

  • AronSpiker72 Aron (@AronSpiker72) reported

    @Yoship424 (also I don't necessarily have the biggest problems w/this trailer or Byleth but this is more of an objective analysis) I'm saying that the way Byleth's reveal was structured would fit better in a general Nintendo Direct as a way to fake out it was about smash instead of FE3H 2/?

  • SirrGhostly Spoobs Ghostly (@SirrGhostly) reported

    @SuperIsaiahYT @josiah_awkward @techmuse8 I think I understand what your saying but the problem is Nintendo sees any property of theirs as monetized as stepping on their intellectual property, even lets plays were considered that until somewhat recently 1/?

  • JTentako ᴊᴇᴛ ᴛᴇɴᴛᴀᴋᴏ𝐕𝐢𝐥𝐥𝐚𝐢𝐧 𝐕𝐭𝐮𝐛𝐞𝐫 (@JTentako) reported

    I just watched the Legends Arceus gameplay preview and it looks like Nintendo actually listened to the fans. It looks like breath of the wild but with pokémon in it, which is exactly what I wanted so if I don't like it then I guess that's my own personal problem.

  • RomanVaught4 Roman Vaught (@RomanVaught4) reported

    @itsamike @HurewitzJoey I didn’t know there were Sega website terms almost reminds me of a YouTuber who got in trouble with Nintendo for inappropriate videos which I admit was a bit of a surprise for me idk why

    Ok so this appears to just be an error with all the N64 titles having the same rating. @NintendoAmerica might wanna look into this lol

  • namverse suk⁷ 🌱 (@namverse) reported

    @crystal_snoww pls 😭 my sister & i shared ours but we bought them after most of the hype was over so they were cheaper. almost fried my nintendo DS when i went to india bc i didn’t take a proper outlet plug thingy 😭 & the back left button on our 3DS is broken i can’t play luigi’s mansion 😔😔

  • WotterPlusQuag Shelly The Dewott (@WotterPlusQuag) reported

    @MiruFriends //i wish i can play that game back then... but the problem with new leaf is the automatic villager kicking method that nintendo did back then... otherwise i still wish i can play the game back then, IF I HAVE MY 3DS.

    @trollreaver @R3P01012 I promise I have done FAR FAR FAR more research then you. So sit down kid. If you like gaming and like big blockbusters you don't like day and date. Service doesn't matter. If its playstation it's bad if it's nintendo it's bad.

    @blowfishstudios Hey, don´t know if you are aware but one of your games called Jack Quest is broken on Nintendo Switch, it crashes on the spider fight, please could someone look into in?

  • SirrGhostly Spoobs Ghostly (@SirrGhostly) reported

    I don't agree with this line of thinking and its sad Nintendo sees it this way because so many of their problems would be fixed if they just allowed their systems to be opened up by modders. They wouldn't have to worry about piracy of their games if 6/?

  • SirrGhostly Spoobs Ghostly (@SirrGhostly) reported

    @SuperIsaiahYT @josiah_awkward @techmuse8 The only reason they allow lets plays now is because they see it as a way to get free advertising. Nintendo isn't like Bethesda or Sega where they can monetize off modders work. And because most mods require hacking into their systems/using emulation they see it as a problem 2/?

    @Toon4Thought One thing I don't like is people digging up old Nintendo Direct announcements and say they're excited. The problem is....they're old.

    For some reason, I’m having trouble trying to transfer my Wii U Nintendo Network ID to another Wii U. I got off the phone with an agent on Nintendo Customer support and tried all I could. Hopefully it works if it doesn’t, I might make a new NNID for my Wii U.

    @cheems_of to me it's not a problem would love to see official Nintendo ported games on pc, Plus it would be fun to watch the nintendrones cope, and hate the idea of it happening

    @iMatt42 @OrigiGreatness "Game companies sell consoles at a loss to attract new customers. Profits are generated in game sales and online service subscriptions." this is the model everyone but Nintendo follow specially at the beginning of the console launch after a while they do.
