    @SNick_WT idc, go pop a vessel over this, be an extra hater if you got nothing better to do, or make some head canon about how this guy thinks he's gonna be the next big nintendo dev, if y'all are that bitter it's honestly your own problem lol

  • YUXLOA YUXLOA (@YUXLOA) reported

    Did the non-nintendo port of Fatal Frame: Maiden of Black Water actually fix all of NoA's script edits or did KT leave them as is?

  • AlexButJust1 Sonic 06's strongest soldier (@AlexButJust1) reported

    @OkamiBuster @CoconutKitten29 @NintendoAmerica I thought this didn't posted since I got an error about it lmaooo

  • NayrmanBSC Ryan Malis (@NayrmanBSC) reported

    @NintendoAmerica What if we already have NSO? I imagine most Splatoon players already have online service so what good is this?

  • DigitalJaymz MST3K Guy (@DigitalJaymz) reported

    @elitherealist1 I found the Nintendo Power last issue yesterday. I had it safe and sound in a filing cabinet, so it's been untouched for the last 10 years. If you lose that auction and are interested in my copy just send me a message.

  • Drenttzaggett20 DrennttGG (@Drenttzaggett20) reported

    @BulbaWhat98 My only problem with the statement is that both Microsoft and Sony have been way worse in executive decisions. Nintendo is the best out of the three.

  • Wawaluigi99 John_TRW (@Wawaluigi99) reported

    The problem came from Nintendo oversimplifying the designs for The auto mode for MK8DX and the on-rails play of Tour; on top of them being very inconsistent with the faithfulness to the original. Lets use Snow Land and Sky Garden as our examples.

    @WWE_ENFORCER @JonnyIncredible @MTxMCMG You like WWE? great. AEW? Great. Wrestling is wrestling, and I enjoy it in many forms. What you're engaging in, is some petty, "My Nintendo is better than your Sega" ****. I don't have any time for that nonsense. I like what I like. Not my problem if you don't agree.

    @_ClownCat nintendo stop being ****** with customer service challenge

  • Fool3yLoaded84 Fool3y (@Fool3yLoaded84) reported

    @xMBGx There's two options; 1) Pass the cost to the customer. 2:) Get innovative. Nintendo is having the same issue, so they used smaller boxes to fit considerably more for shipping. Sony made it choice. Stop making excuses for a billion dollar company that made record profits.

  • lexplayyy Lex Play 🪴 (@lexplayyy) reported

    @xoxoarly Modding is against Nintendo’s terms of service, so there’s always a chance that they could brick your switch if you go online with custom firmware

  • vlboxboox OctoGOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOORB (@vlboxboox) reported

    @ProChara @NintendoAmerica issue im seeing with it is it being loud when charged.

  • Cryogenicyuki Bryan Calderon (@Cryogenicyuki) reported

    @AndreaBogazzi @emoralesramos @ModernVintageG It’s also unreasonable to say legacy games should be behind a paywall when for some reason Nintendo takes issue with emulation, but emulates some of their rereleases like Super Mario 3D All Stars

  • Superadam101 (Planning on changing) Superadam10 is in Equestria (@Superadam101) reported

    My god Splatoon 3 still hasn't fixed the most annoying problem. Come on Nintendo. How hard is it to get a button to skip the ******* sister thing.

  • ItsAnEd Training Arc Ed-Boi 💙❄️ (@ItsAnEd) reported

    @LimitedRunGames @SukebanGames a curious issue with the Nintendo switch version of VA-11HALL-A. I had the physical cartridge, downloaded from eShop, the game is now looping at start seeking updates. Is there an update for eShop not available that's on the physical cart?

  • Willez99_ Willez99 (@Willez99_) reported

    @Oblivion129 That's way too slow. Nintendo should fix this method by releasing an upgraded version of the Switch with better read time to boot the game faster

  • RyanThezeldafan Ryan heath Malone (@RyanThezeldafan) reported

    @NintendoAmerica Please let dodrio be broken to counter tyranitar ttar is to overpowered

  • Ndibu Ndivhu Mogashoa (@Ndibu) reported

    @garymurphy1919 @Boxenberger They did it for 4 generations no problem. Playstation more than Nintendo and Xbox in revenue but we are supposed to feel bad for them because the inflation is mean to them? Nintendo is a much smaller company than Sony and their revenues are vastly different in Sony's favour

  • YikesMasami .:Masami:. (@YikesMasami) reported

    Ima tell yall rn nintendo yall need to fix these hair physics why is it different skisikskakakk

  • JenosonTwit Goose, Blade of Miquella @CC:E AA 🐍☁️/❄️🔥🔞 (@JenosonTwit) reported

    @mrpyo1 Like I get being upset but it really is just how Sony has been for nearly 30 years on the console game. It's going to be 'sucky' as a PS fan for a minute but they'll fix ****. MS and Nintendo has their own cycles too but I'm a 'Sony Pony' and an old so its like...meh.

  • Kyl0Z3n 🏴‍☠️ Kyl⭕ZΞn 🏴‍☠️ (@Kyl0Z3n) reported

    @FortniteGame @EpicGames how the heck do I logout of an account on the Nintendo switch to sign in with my kid's epic account? This really should be easier. Any time I logout on the switch it logs him right back in.

  • Syncridge Syncridge (@Syncridge) reported

    @TwitchSupport the nintendo switch app has been broken for almost 6 months if any ad plays at all the stream will not resume after the ads are over and can not be watched without closing and opening the stream again this is for all switch users hope this helps <3

  • allyson_meghan womens wrongs advocate (@allyson_meghan) reported

    crying laughing remembering the day my ex and I spent HOURS using the animal crossing glitch to duplicate hundreds of nintendo switches so that we each had 3 million bells. the 5 pm music will never leave my brain

  • trippyxjo trippyxjoTTV (@trippyxjo) reported

    @NintendoAmerica ****** *** COMPAGNY! YOU DON'T EVEN CARE ABOUT YOUR PLAYERS IT'S DISGUSTING HOW YOU DISRESPECT US WITH BULLSHIT *** GAMES! FIX MARIO STRIKERS RIGHT NOW MAN WTF IS THAT

  • VivaLaBlane Tristonian (@VivaLaBlane) reported

    @TiltedTowers_ @yaboyCombo @IGN Not really Microsoft’s problem Sony didn’t allocate resources properly. Inflation is no excuse. If Nintendo and Microsoft are refusing to raise their prices while their competitor, who makes a massive profit on every unit sold, that should tell you something.

  • FluffehHimeAria HimeAria channel - current pngtuber, future vtuber (@FluffehHimeAria) reported

    @NintendoAmerica Hell, VETERAN players are gonna have this issue. This is a brand-new mechanic just added in the new installment. Why isn't a basic game mechanic included in a game mode who's sole purpose of even existing at all is to teach basic game mechanics?

  • MarkPl08 IMark 🏳️‍🌈 (@MarkPl08) reported

    @RenOperative_ Yes, but the PC market is recovering, there’s more graphic cards and the shortage is declining, same with Xbox and Nintendo Switch. Playstation is doing nothing to deal with scalpers, problem still exists. So instead of dealing with the problem, they increase the price of their
