  • MarioJoe11 MarioJoe11 (@MarioJoe11) reported

    Nintendo scams us outright with **** like Mario kart tour and joycon drift, I see no problem with returning the favour lmfaoo

  • Evileye515_ Evileye🍆💦 (@Evileye515_) reported

    @ashtindo64 @OmariBelgrave @ScrambledFaz Its Nintendo's fault because uh, as you can see, the game doesn't lag or **** up on other consoles. Switch is just underpowered.

  • kyxrem Manu (@kyxrem) reported

    @Tsukento The problem with nintendo, and I already said this, is that they just don't lower the price I own a DSi XL, Wii, Wii U and 2DS XL I know what I'm talking about

  • jumpforcole jump (@jumpforcole) reported

    @shotgungunshot @BravestCorwin likewise, the original tweet didnt mind if "jumpforcole" disagreed. the purpose wasn't to change my mind about the issue, it was to pressure nintendo.

  • Maxodex Mᴀxᴏ(dex) (@Maxodex) reported

    @DaveTheScwede @MelloMakes the main issue is that nintendo has a crap system that encourages piracy by not allowing people to play their older titles, especially from consoles like the gcn. if they had a proper system that allowed people to legally buy stuff, then half their problems would be gone

  • bearysoda mar 🖤⚡️ (@bearysoda) reported

    I like how ioma knows my nintendo id login and I don’t

  • BUSCHaGAME 🦃🦎Just_A_Lizard🦎🦃 (@BUSCHaGAME) reported

    @PatStaresAt And the Joycon Drift is a no longer a problem, another thing Nintendo likes to pretend even thou Joycon Drift is still a problem.

  • DynamoSuperX JOURDON⚡ (@DynamoSuperX) reported

    I'm not trying to defend piracy but Nintendo has just as much do to with the problem as the fans do.

  • Xeno_VII Xeno VII (@Xeno_VII) reported

    Sony: "No one cares about our legacy content." *Delists everything pre-PS4 off the web browser PS Store, doesn't fix PS3 store or add PS1 games to PS4/5* Nintendo: "Piracy is such an issue that we totally can't solve by re-releasing more of our games on Switch."

  • AvianTrash Robin~ 🐦 (@AvianTrash) reported

    Nintendo's gotta take the modern approach to piracy Aka the whole "provide a service better than piracy" thing because WHOOOO BOY rn their legacy content support is ****

  • dynoyoshi YoshiDyno (@dynoyoshi) reported

    Dear @Nintendo, please patch this fishing issue. You know what I’m talking about. #highdollarfishies

  • Le_Chucho Chucho Dando Gracias (@Le_Chucho) reported

    @aro_arox @younghavok @noxlongerxhuman The nintendo fanbase is literally blind, so they're an exception. No other publisher does this. And let me say again, because you might not be understanding. This isn't an economical problem. It's an ethical one. As a consumer, we have every right to complain about such practices

  • back_air back air (@back_air) reported

    @Jotaro_Parody @The_Hypist @NintendoAmerica You have a problem

  • bratty_mara mara❄️ (@bratty_mara) reported

    @CrashBandicoot please bring Crash 4 to switch PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE spending $500 to get a new crash game please please please 🥺🥺🥺 IM BEGGING @ToysForBob @NintendoAmerica

  • KammunistKaerl KammunistKaerl (@KammunistKaerl) reported

    @IGN Piracy isn't a consumer problem l. It's an availability problem. People have to pirate games when there's no easy way to play them. If nintendo just brought back virtual console with a bunch of gamecube games people wouldn't be pirating nearly as much as they do now

  • HollowGrapeJ HollowGrapeJ (@HollowGrapeJ) reported

    @Raggy_5B Nintendo crying about a problem they created

  • EightBitWarrior Mike (@EightBitWarrior) reported from Greece, New York

    The problem with Nintendo’s black friday eshop sale, is the sales prices are what those games should already be. Forever $60 games is so stupid.

  • seantreehalf 辞めて下ストツプ🐙 (@seantreehalf) reported

    @TyVulpintaur @SSEG_KingCosta @NintendoAmerica Yea we were pretty irked about that, but that is only a small piece of the problem :)

  • AnUnorginaljoke An Unoriginal Joke (@AnUnorginaljoke) reported

    @Edsanji @TylerClibbon @NintendoAmerica Most buggy* most are exploits. not everything that doesn’t go right is a “glitch”

  • furrygahbidge Franken Fran's #1 Franken Stan (@furrygahbidge) reported

    @cummiewummie @That_Nes_Lope @BravestCorwin wouldn't be a problem if nintendo wasn't addicted to Mega Limited Releases of stuff they know will sell a ton

  • DannyAndazola Danny Andazolarreaux 🗽🩸🦷 (@DannyAndazola) reported

    @ChaosFantasy888 @PlayStation I agree but everytime I go to Walmart or Target they say, we don't know when we will get a shipment. Even for the Nintendo Switch. Plus Playstation just announced that they having a supply issue.

  • starwarriorsora StarWarriorSora (@starwarriorsora) reported

    @Cats10Taco @NintendoAmerica That doesn’t change anything. The roms aren’t the problem. The problem is Slippi

  • parfae_ kiana💎 (@parfae_) reported

    how does nintendo discontinue perfectly good games and take them off the eshop then complain about piracy, do they not see the issue

  • Cats10Taco Taco_Cats10 (@Cats10Taco) reported

    @starwarriorsora @NintendoAmerica Eula refer to the disruption or selling of illegal copies of the game which is wrong but slippi doesn’t do that the user can and that is there problem the only reason it is shut down is because Nintendo wants to

  • Ginger_Douglas Briceson Ducharme/ Ginger Douglas (@Ginger_Douglas) reported

    My email address is invalid and can’t be used for a restock email. I’ve had said email for 15+ years and no ones ever had a problem emailing or spamming me, including your weekly emails. @NintendoAmerica please help. I’ve been after this since Covid started. 😭😭😭

  • Rocky712YT Rocky712 (@Rocky712YT) reported

    @Crizth1 @OneStageAtATime @McTroid Of course there are games that do have licensing issues, but Nintendo itself has a ton of great games in their library that they fully own. Just look at the Virtual Console of the 3DS and Wii U. Almost nothing of that is on Switch. Republishing them via a VC service does not

  • Shiro937 #MUDKIPTHEBEST (@Shiro937) reported from Helotes, Texas

    @JohnnyLChase @NintendoAmerica Well... its on wii u, which us like the definition of a dead console, and cost of keeping the online service working probably not worth for the few people that still play on a wii u

  • RandomName256 May (@RandomName256) reported

    The Joycon drift issue is a massive problem. This **** should have been fixed already in later units, yet here they are denying it exists. I think Nintendo WANTS the drift so that people will buy more controllers. It's ridiculous.
