  There’s a glitch in the family #Matrix - my kids, 8 and 10, refuse to refer to #nintendo, instead calling it Intendo with the sincere belief that I am wrong despite all evidence to the contrary - in the alternate universe it’s clearly Intendo. This is our #berenstein bears.

  @Cerebus77 @NintendoAmerica I guess I could have broken out the Wii U for Zero Mission, but I just don't want to hook up all that stuff.

  @kitschyliepard @pix_ssb What else do you think it could even be bricked switches are software issues and it coincides with nintendo pushing a broken update. The only reported cases of bricks outside direct tampering have been from updates and this has happened multiple times with switch updates

  @X_Dress789 @NintendoAmerica Over priced? What are you talking about? This is a brand NEW Metroid game. Not a remake or spin off, a NEW MAINLINE Metroid game. If you have such a problem with this, then don't buy it.

  @Powergannon @ArloStuff @NintendoEurope If they can prove that Nintendo caused the system to malfunction and are not willing to accept repairs for it, they can get into trouble, atleast in the United States, since the Joycon drift lawsuit is still ongoing.

  Apparently the newest Switch update has been bricking Switches and Nintendo is charging people to fix it. Wow.

  @SMHspeaker @NintendoAmerica It's not a problem. Retail workers doing their job isn't a problem. So, so, so, so whiny

  Fake criticism is the new normal. You're only allowed to criticize anything anymore if you're coming from an insider P.O.V. It's the reason you can't call Nintendo anti-consumer or discuss that mess of an online service, unless you happen to be a sanctioned insider. Cult tactics.

  “Worldwide simultaneous release of a Shin Megami Tensei mainline game with a huge marketing push from Nintendo and a big premium edition” is still a concept im having trouble wrapping my head around

  The botting is getting absurd for literally anything nintendo now days. easy fix would be stop listing the **** online until AFTER the physical release. Make sure store actually get copies first THEN allow online sales. just a thought. sucks for anyone who is too lazy to go out

  @DarkWatto @nearthirdimpact @NintendoAmerica They’re talking about the patch for the update. That patch has actually bricked some systems and is causing download problems.

  @Theswweet Don't you know that modifying your Nintendo:tm: Switch:tm: is against the Terms of Service:tm:

  @NintendoAmerica About that. How about a new Switch System update to fix the SD card download so we can get these digital deals?

  @crossingtessa New joycons? I’ve tried a few tricks and it’s always a temporary fix, Nintendo needs to fix the drift problem. It’s annoying, but sometimes you can find joycons on sale. :/ sorry

  @MarioGotSniped Why should Nintendo copy PlayStation if Nintendo games sells +20M and review just as good? Why is it a problem if Nintendo says something like: "Oh yeah, we can't make a game like Forza Horizon 5."

  @ToppoDestroyer @jd41700 @Mega_Mii51 Well they'd honestly have the right to rage, Crash is one of the most requested characters rn. Nintendo knows this. Reducing him to a mii fighter would be pretty tone deaf. I wouldn't blame them for being upset I suppose. A Hollow knight mii costume would be goated tho

  @NintendoAmerica Can’t download or update any games cause of the update. Fix it

  @Powergannon @ArloStuff @NintendoEurope If they can prove that Nintendo caused the system to malfunction and are not willing to accept repairs for it or give it back to them free of charge, they can get into trouble, atleast in the United States, since the Joycon drift lawsuit is still ongoing.

  @DarkT_64 No, the most recent Switch update was causing an error code on all downloads. Nintendo pulled the update and released a fixed version of it a few days later, but people that downloaded the original version were stuck with the issue.

  @groenboys @badvgtakes It did not. Sadly it sold poorly as hell. Best selling metroid games sold as good as indie metroidvanias. Series is good. Just... Has big sales problems, partially due to nintendo's faults

  @huttaburger Man i wish nintendo hired you to remake the whole game in this style... also that they would fix the ingame hints so that they were actually useful.

  @Parmersan @ZionDood You don't need to be on a Nintendo platform to be a smash fighter. This rule was broken with Joker and I don't know why they keep being made

  Did Nintendo fix the update on the switch that makes games unable to update yet

• 
  Stealth (@Stealth40k) reported 1 hour ago

  Not saying Metroid Dread will sell like Animal Crossing: New Horizons, but the same formula is in Play: 1) It has been a VERY long time since the last Metroid game. 2) It is releasing on Switch For a Nintendo 1st Party game, that usually leads to series records being broken.

  @NintendoAmerica how about making your company games on the "sale" list actually on sale, the fact you keep discounting your games by 20 bucks especially ones that have been around for 2-5+ years. but you have no issue discounting indie games and other game company games by 50%-90%
