@NintendoAmerica It’s not working for me. I have save data for Pokémon Shield but he doesn’t give me anything.

@RunJumpStomp In my case I was a huge stadia supporter which led me to you and Lloyd... Unfortunately my enthusiasm for stadia dwindled because of how Google is handling the service but luckily it exposed me to your coverage and I am frequent viewer for your nintendo and steam deck coverage

@DreamyPumpkins Its a ps2 game and it was remastered on the ps3 and ps4 i think! No nintendo console as far as i can tell but still, its a great game. I believe the ps3 version has a glitch with the fps that makes the game harder (guess who has that one AND a faulty controller :’D)

@Wunderdasrvicbl No, they don't all have bugs this bad. Try to find a game breaking glitch that you can come across casually in MGS3, in Metroid prime. Besides, let's not pretend that Nintendo puts any decent effort anymore into Pokemon - the game hacing such glitches is just a testament to that

@NintendoAmerica Please fix the N64 games. That's the tweet.

@Meep_the_Hoppa @thatskygame if they could fix it they would but sadly Nintendo only allows them to have 1 hotfix a year if im correct so blame it on Nintendo

@TheAsraLover @TheNCSmaster I don't get that. It's 70 at launch. But it'll be down in a couple of months so what's the issue? I don't think it's more horrendous then Nintendo if you can find it at 30 or 40 a few months later, which is almost unheard of for Nintendo games. So I'd say it's still better.

@Jolitero_ Yeah, the motion control stuff was definitely more of a problem many years ago, it's good for some people but terrible for others. I think what irks me is this is all the weird decisions people would not let slide if it wasn't Nintendo.

@daliacrossing i feel like if nintendo offered the option of buying extra spots that would *kinda* solve the problem? kind of like what apple does for buying extra cloud space. for example i’d gladly pay an extra $2.99 for 30 spots, because i know i’m going to fill them up!

I changed it to Maple Treeway, but damn I hope they get reuploaded. And if it's people profiting off of their stuff that Nintendo is worried about. Then they can upload the songs online themselves and avoid that entire problem to begin with.

@imjustkale Nintendo to have competition in the genre so they actually pay attention to all the nonsense problems in the game. Calling this an Ult specific problem is just a blatant misrepresentation.

@CuentaS03459565 @NintendoAmerica I don't think that's gonna happen since nintendo said there done with major updates for ACNH and only doing small updates like glitch and bug patching

@Reggie Yet Sony can barely do the Playstation Move. Yet again, it's Sony's issue, not Nintendo's problem

@0rka_yt @NathanielBandy1 It's not hard for Nintendo to do either, Gamecube is a perfectly capable system for Nintendo to do on their service, GC controllers are supported on Switch already through the GC adapter, they just need to use the emulator from SM3DA, that'd be the only effort needed.

@08olaffuBoniblA @Alf1607xD The recent server-side changes (recent being 2018) to the CDN prevent downloading of games that you did not purchase on Nintendo's eShop. You need a legitimate ticket (which you get when buying a digital game) to download digital games. These piracy tools are broken forever.

@SylveonWill @NintendoAmerica I actually fixed it but now am having issues with the micro sd card. I tried formatting it but it still doesn’t recognize it. It is an official Nintendo micro sd card. Can you let me know what I can do? The support ticket doesn’t have a category for this

@NintendoVS @NintendoAmerica there should be a report button on this tournament. There are cheesy lag switchers that will ruin it for everyone. And it was so laggy that it counted as killing themselves and got kicked out the tournament. There also should be no items

@romelia1973 @DuchessLupin @AP No. You people are making this a Race Issue. But, I'm not going to sit here and argue with you. Kyle Rittenhouse was aquitted, whether you like it or not. Go back to your basement and finish playing your PlayStation and Nintendo games. That's all your good at anyways.

"Smash has everyone already theres no one else to add" Uh idk dude Resident Evil, Soul Calibur, Crash, Spyro, Conker, etc are all still legacy franchises on nintendo systems

@TeamYouTube Like I'd say "infringes my rights" but that wouldn't be right, as they're infringing @NintendoAmerica's rights. But as a general whole, what they teach, show, etc, creates a systemic issue with people selling bootleg games, etc. So I'm not sure what to select to report it.
