  • yourcompanionAI Twilight Sparkle (@yourcompanionAI) reported

    @chc40 also i think mine and everyone else's view of the dmca has been broken by nintendo who pointedly refuses to take down decomps

  • genderqueernoct ♥️🖤Untrustworthy Goro Boy🖤❤️ (@genderqueernoct) reported

    @MysticDistance literally the only reason i knew about it was because i borrowed my friend's nintendo power and that issue had a review for twewy in it. i thought hEY HE LOOKS LIKE SORA and got so ****** hyped for it lmao

  • KroenkeBurner Fraudulent.com 🇸🇮🦆 (@KroenkeBurner) reported

    @4BAMEY4NG You wish you would even down 2 of my pokemon. I was playing and watching the anime in the womb. I know the lite isn’t perfect but I really do miss playing the Nintendo. I need something for the fix

  • Wayne38323018 Wayne (@Wayne38323018) reported

    @CatCet3 @NintendoAmerica They won't remake the game for us and melee isn't like all the other smash bros games in its series. Thats the real problem. Honestly, if the would would just make another like it or just put in a melee MODE, people would forget about melee.

  • Emblemmaniac Mad Doc Isak, #BlackLivesMatter (@Emblemmaniac) reported

    @Silverjojo08 Because they are getting money on IPs ain´t with no agreement with Nintendo to fix it.

  • gelatoBENE hello (@gelatoBENE) reported

    @mattstat7160 @TurtletheEpic1 @animalcrossing i dont think so becayse there's literally nothing to unlock. Money isn't a problem cause Nintendo can't properly balance their games and you can abuse trantuals. The shop has one (1) expansion (NL had 5!!!). The is a joke to pay. Getting a 5 star island is a joke too. If you...

  • 3quinoxthegreat 3quinox (@3quinoxthegreat) reported

    hey lets not forget that @NintendoAmerica has a huge disconnect with their fans so lets not let melee die and #FreeMelee

  • Smeeezus Smeezus (@Smeeezus) reported

    @NintendoAmerica I’m canceling my online service for Switch right now. I’m speaking with my wallet. Not another cent to Nintendo as long as I live, or until melee is free! #FreeMelee

  • AnorakFrankfurt P.J. (@AnorakFrankfurt) reported

    @NianticHelp Actually, that was what I had tried the whole time... sooooo... only partially helpful... I have somehow managed to work around the problem, but you guys really need to work out the login/auth processes with the guys at Nintendo ASAP...

  • patricknotirl patrick (@patricknotirl) reported

    nintendo wii broken

  • Emblemmaniac Mad Doc Isak, #BlackLivesMatter (@Emblemmaniac) reported

    @Silverjojo08 No... but they are working for a mod that is used FOR an IP, that they have no contract about. It´s as if someone made a third-party online service for Nintendo Switch, without Nintendo's permission.

  • Diction NICK (@Diction) reported

    Gonna stream some Unfortunate Spacemen with a couple of nerds in about 2 hours. If you don't show up I will DDoS your Nintendo Switch.

  • MaxPowe58522452 Max Powers (@MaxPowe58522452) reported

    @fuchsiarascal @NintendoAmerica Well the thing is Nintendo has a bad history of listening to fans. Look at right now for Nintendo Switch Online. People have been complaining about it for 2 years and Nintendo continues to ignore its problems. The same will be said with this and QOF features people want.

  • lumorsb lumor (@lumorsb) reported

    @Chaos_Blade22 @JohnnyLombardi0 @IncomeTaxxx Ok but Luigi has a TRUE zero to death from a grab!!!!! That’s broken!!! Nintendo plz nerf!

  • AkwasiNanor Akwasi Nanor (@AkwasiNanor) reported

    This whole Space Buns thing is wrong can we please not argue, i know you are a video game company but please fix this @NintendoAmerica

  • mellow1472 Callie (@mellow1472) reported

    @WavePrism_ @Mlickles Reminds me of the image of the broken nintendo switch. You know the one

  • sarshelyam SarshelYam (@sarshelyam) reported

    @_MissClick_ So sad. I was plagued with syncing issues and floating controls. I would LOVE to see Nintendo do this up for Switch sans gimmicky controls.

  • Emblemmaniac Mad Doc Isak, #BlackLivesMatter (@Emblemmaniac) reported

    @Silverjojo08 @Nochlosa @NintendoAmerica I mean, apparently, they have contacted Genesis and Shine too.... and who is to say that the attention that it has gotten because of this moment ain´t apart of the problem?

  • Silverjojo08 Herlock Sholmes stan || JOSI WON NORRIS (@Silverjojo08) reported

    @Emblemmaniac @Nochlosa @NintendoAmerica It has very little to do with the legality of Slippi. The issue is just that Nintendo as a company doesn't like emulation and thus they are evoking their right to stop a broadcast of their media.

  • Nochlosa Nochlosa Lalosa (@Nochlosa) reported

    @Silverjojo08 @NintendoAmerica Okay but the issue is that every time Nintendo posts something, people just jump right in and start going off to Nintendo about shutting down their tournament. Like, we get it, but complaining on twitter will get you nowhere fast.

  • OppizFireburb Oppiz (@OppizFireburb) reported

    @bl00vern The issue is more Camelot than Nintendo. Camelot is out of commission now

  • chadmccullough Chad McCullough (@chadmccullough) reported

    Anyone know how to edit the parental controls in the @Nintendo Switch eStore? When I login, my son is unable to view or purchase any Mature titles. I'm wanting to purchase Doom 64 for myself but it's not allowing me to do so.

  • xkjfjejf Yu-Ching Fei (@xkjfjejf) reported

    @NintendoAmerica So instead of fixing problems with melee you have decided to do Pikmin 3: but again #FreeMelee

  • Smaggle3 Smaggle (@Smaggle3) reported

    @redvoltrongd @RomanN64 @NintendoAmerica No what's the problem

  • Trabis777 Trabis (@Trabis777) reported

    @Kanikou @JKamron_1 @bobbyscar Ultimate online it's pretty bad, didn't have rollback or dedicated servers on 2020 they still using p2p for an paid online service, and the matches have so much lag and Nintendo doesn't care about that. If Nintendo improves his online the fans wouldn't do mods like this

  • googamp32 Pizza, Pasta, Payday Loans! (@googamp32) reported

    @glungers @ElPerrowsky @NintendoAmerica I understand your problem with it, but I'd rather be able to play the game legally for $60 than not be able to play it legally at all. Besides, this is Pikmin. One of Nintendo's many series that could DIE if the games don't sell well.

  • redvoltrongd redvoltron (@redvoltrongd) reported

    @Smaggle3 @RomanN64 @NintendoAmerica Do you see the problem

  • Smaggle3 Smaggle (@Smaggle3) reported

    @RomanN64 @NintendoAmerica just use the shitty Nintendo online service for Ultimate and sacrifice Melee for this year problem solved

  • hollowskyspear tabs (@hollowskyspear) reported

    i really do have to think about which console was my least favorite though actually because i’ve almost never had a problem with the ones i’ve played on probably nintendo wii. that **** gets really loud when it’s doing anything i also know i would absolutely not like the switch

  • StalkerWalk SleepWalkStalker (@StalkerWalk) reported

    @raulgabriel0626 @chuggaaconroy However you could get a larger one (not one from Nintendo they are actual rip offs) put your Current one in your pc copy the data to the new sd card and then the problem is solved
