  • watchmensCLC77 Watchmen’s Collective (@watchmensCLC77) reported

    @ALincToThePast If the opportunity is there but it isn’t Sony and Nintendo have their own competing sub service and Sony has cloud while Nintendo offers some games on cloud! MSFT doesn’t need to force Nintendo or Sony PC, mobile, and Smart TV devices offer better chance to put games everywhere!

  • Mystar_21 Mystar⭐21 (@Mystar_21) reported

    @gy_sup Yeah I don't understand it! They have no issue with artistic freedom for another Mario characters, but with Mario??! Everyone goes wild over it. Seems like you have to copypaste Nintendo's design of him or else you art in insulting the character or something in their heads.. 😓

    Hi @YouTube @TeamYouTube My channel wasn’t accepted for monetisation again for months now even when deleting my videos of Sonic Movie 2 which I thought was the problem. All my videos are mostly gaming and I own the footage that I record from Nintendo games. What am I doing wrong?

  • PandyProduction 🇦🇺Panda Frontiering Production Studio (@PandyProduction) reported

    @Emis_doodls @CoralReefee I had no issues with it on Nintendo Switch.

  • tootalls valrico cleare (@tootalls) reported

    @FonzGaming @Dealer_Gaming an easier cheaper option, get a PC. don't need to pay for a service to play online, much better than paying TWO subscriptions. And everything (except Nintendo games) eventually land on PC....

  • GluffOfficial Gluff 🏳️‍⚧️ (@GluffOfficial) reported

    @Zizoxgamer13 so like, a Sony fanboy tried to criticize Nintendo fans for complaining about the Last of Us remake looking the same while praising 3D All Stars. The problem was it's completely untrue since 3D All Stars was very polarizing amongst Nintendo fans.

  • rd_raymond Raymond d (@rd_raymond) reported

    @OuterSpaceBro24 Wrong final fantasy was first on nintendo back in the day how about Sony let go of spiderman and God of War to other consoles never would happen so when xbox does it now it a problem or what about final fantasy 7 remake xbox do not got it or see it because Sony pay for it

  • phyerboss Phyerboss (@phyerboss) reported

    @JAAY_ROCK_ See, there's a huge issue with that mention of "innovation". There's an insurmountable brick wall they gonna always hit when dealing with the other platforms in those regards as MS can't dictate when Sony or Nintendo finally ever steps up their tech to where xbox will be.

  • Bruh_Rly3093 Bruh_Rly3093 (@Bruh_Rly3093) reported

    And are even in danger of getting in trouble for remaking a game they like which is so dumb imo So companies like @Nintendo and @NeedforSpeed you should take in these people and use and improve what theyre doing like i guarantee theres basically no cons to it Youd earn a tonne

  • theforestowls Jordan (@theforestowls) reported

    @STAGEBLOQ @mcquack306 Here’s the thing, Microsoft had good games they didn’t know what to do with. Nintendo and Sony didn’t have that problem, at the time.

  • RasheedaASmith Rasheeda Smith (@RasheedaASmith) reported

    @dark1x @GenePark Nintendo with their large litigation team and lack of sales on old games lol nah all these corporations have issues.

  • Shaddon2 Shaddon (@Shaddon2) reported

    @SkillUpYT That's a lie, but you obviously don't care. Microsoft purposely neglected Japanese market as it couldn't compete with Nintendo, Sony and SEGA before it. Furthermore, Japanese developers deliberately choose Sony as siding with foreign company would become a serious PR problem.

  • macishish macishish (@macishish) reported

    @ReaperII7 @Mirror_Instinct @Kmega4 looking at BOTW and anything MS did, it seems hardware is not really the issue here. Of course they are more than allowed to be criticised but whataboutism about overpriced slow xbox has little todo with nintendo's issues.

    @FallGuysGame Fix the Nintendo switch crashing bug ffs!!

  • themilkman696 SharkoHunter (@themilkman696) reported

    @PS_Inquisitor @TWTHEREDDRAGON I dont get why Sony and Nintendo are allowed exclusives but when Xbox does it that’s a problem

  • SmoggyLamb49 SmoggyLamb is running up that hill (@SmoggyLamb49) reported

    @NinStatusBot Alright, @NintendoAmerica, but if I see "server down" 5 minutes after this tweet, you dun goofed!

  • Unlimited_Live5 Brendon (@Unlimited_Live5) reported

    @JamesTmw @MisterAddons Also a Panasonic Q that I am reassembling, sega mark iii with fm sound chip, Nintendo TV Game 6, and I'm selling my FM Towns Marty after I replace the disk drive belt and test it out. The PS4 and Xbox Series S are in the main living area. I buy broken consoles cheap and fix them.

  • Otteraft Raft (@Otteraft) reported

    Just saw a tweet complaining about Nintendo when the problem literally doesn’t even exist. Like, hate the company all you want but hate them for actual reasons, not reasons you think are happening but actually aren’t

  • itselguapo itselguapo (@itselguapo) reported

    @oridjinn @brettnll The problem with Consoles is that even Nintendo doesn't have anything for like the rest of the year aside from 1 or 2 games. Splatoon 3, Bayo3, maybe Pokemon Violet, Sony has... God of war ragnarok, and Microsoft has... Xbox game pass? I dunno PS5 isn't worth it still.

  • NintendoShame Nintendo Shame (@NintendoShame) reported

    It's been 414 days since the last game was added to the Nintendo Switch Online service

  • SherlockJones94 Jake Britton (@SherlockJones94) reported

    @dark1x @GenePark I would say Nintendo has there own problems. Online still sucks and if we are going to complain about Sony charging more for the ps5 why aren't we complaining about the lack of a price drop on the switch?

  • MrBlackHearse MrBlackHearse (@MrBlackHearse) reported

    @Spartan_sal '92, only had a super Nintendo with Mario All-Stars and Batman Returns. Also got a ps1 with Dino Crisis, RE3 and Crash. I miss those days 🥲

  • appen_l Doctor Jenny Talia (@appen_l) reported

    @dark1x @MrKlawUK @GenePark The problem with Nintendo is. I easily bought over 200€ worth of games on their e shop. And you, me and your grandma knows I have tops 10 years left to play them before Nintendo will just shut down the servers and leave me with no money and no games

  • DryadMantis Dryad Mantis 🇧🇷 (@DryadMantis) reported

    @Wpk_12 Sorry to hear your save data loss... Is there some kind of Nintendo fan forum that you can post the error?

  • Marek665557016 Marek6 (@Marek665557016) reported

    @geoffkeighley @voltest52122 (6) Comsumer happiness. Nintendo don't have to do anything cause they've been doing this for so long and look at the numbers. Yes, there are some problem like their protective nature of everything and their instant sueing of those involved. But they're the most successful because

    @EpicGames customer service are telling me my daughter cannot link her epic games account to her @NintendoUK switch for 365 days due to a restriction, she is now unable to play fortnite for a whole year?! This is utter madness and needs sorting, your systems are ridiculous

  • aggressa Black Elmo (@aggressa) reported

    @invisipel @stackf3O @Nibellion Requiring a lot of money to sustain is not the issue. Xbox has been on the market for about 2 decades. Despite that is has take. About 100 Billion in investment from the parent company to make it competitive. If Sony or Nintendo had screwed up that badly, they would fold.
