  • erasmolbj Erasmo Bellumat #KOFXV #GrooVR (@erasmolbj) reported

    @UbisoftSupport Please fix the Monopoly on the Nintendo Switch, this game have soft-lock on Online mode. It’s impossible to end the turn sometimes, freezing the match.

    nintendo wii broken

  • TactIndustries TactFNC (@TactIndustries) reported

    @Encrylix @2nd_placer I think Nintendo just has nothing much to offer because nobody agrees with their online service LMAO

  • MercyKnifed MercyKnifed (@MercyKnifed) reported

    @Emblemmaniac @DynamoSuperX The only people satisfied with Nintendo’s current service are people who don’t even play online multiplayer. They like the retro game libraries and would continue to use them if this change would happen

  • glacienprimus Zen Nick (@glacienprimus) reported

    @Mass_Strangula @Puertorock77_ Whether you game on a PS5 is irrelevant. Sitting here disparaging miliatary service for any corporation is the problem. F*ck Sony, f*ck Microsoft, f*ck Nintendo. You a whole clown. Soft a**. ****

  • silver_huskey Angela Moseley (@silver_huskey) reported

    Without the Wii U there wouldn't be the Switch as we know it. That said, I do think the Wii U is one of Nintendo's worst console given the fact that's prone to such a crippling error. From what I've been able to learn, certain software titles like Smash can cause the error.

  • Encrylix SugaCryption | Encrylix (@Encrylix) reported

    @TactIndustries @2nd_placer The online multiplayer in some games bro….abysmal “Oh but Nintendo was never meant for online buddy, they’re new to this” Because Phantasy Star Online wasn’t on the Gamecube and the Wii never had an online service, like, it’s been how many years now??

  • Nerdy_Sage Geo (@Nerdy_Sage) reported

    @NintendoAmerica fix your damn online that **** is ******* terrible

  • FactsVibri Vibri (@FactsVibri) reported

    @1994Nemesis They're not Nintendo. From what I have heard, SONY will only take things down if the franchise creators disallow it. I doubt that we'd run into copyright issues.

  • MercyKnifed MercyKnifed (@MercyKnifed) reported

    @DynamoSuperX Literally everytime I hear someone praising Nintendo Online, they specific talk about only using the game libraries. it would more or less be a win-win for both kinds of people who either use actually the service's libraries or only play online

  • MichaelFury20 MichaelFury (@MichaelFury20) reported

    @NintendoAmerica Regardless of how much fun this may be and even if you don’t experience online issues, a supposed best of or compilation can’t have same and even less content (only 10 characters) than it’s predecessors!

  • mobkiller97786 Blastinloads (@mobkiller97786) reported

    @EAHelp The system is Nintendo swicth This issue really bothers me

  • The_FlumeAT The Flume Unplugged (@The_FlumeAT) reported

    @DynamoSuperX the classic games is used as an excuse from nintendo to make people forget about the actual online aspect of the online service so it wont happen

  • rand_yosh314 randomyoshi314 (@rand_yosh314) reported

    I am always constantly peeved off at how Nintendo botched the construction of the joystick of the Nintendo 64 controllers, and now it's nigh on impossible to find controllers that work on the original console with no input lag that still have the same deadzones and everything.

  • SeraphOfFire Pyro Bob (@SeraphOfFire) reported

    @FalKoopa_ Did they make it so 1's minigames don't **** up your hand so badly Nintendo got sued and had to issue a glove?

  • directdude Mipha | (@directdude) reported

    @LazyChim @SypherPK lmao yes. but that's not epics problem. the companies like nintendo need to catch up, because this will look good on ps5 and xbox, but not switch, cause it is still the same hardware from 2017

  • PorkLazer PORK LAZER (@PorkLazer) reported

    @GasolSE @OliverAsLatias @edmundmcmillen They wanted to but nintendo of europe is lagging on approving the game rn

  • ScarletM1926 Scarlett Martinez (@ScarletM1926) reported

    @NintendoAmerica @ACNewHorizons Who can help? I help trouble with happy home paradise! I can’t access it! After 3 days it doesn’t appear anymore 😭

  • NabbitFan730 Possessed Puppet 💀🎃 (@NabbitFan730) reported

    @DynamoSuperX Because Nintendo knows that *** service has no real value outside paywall my internet connection and poor emulators. Greedy f*cks!

  • JustifiableT Justifiable Treason (@JustifiableT) reported

    @MightyKeef I think Pokémon fans biggest issue is that they don't play other games lol- Nintendo fans I general have a problem feeling like Nintendo games are the only games worth playing. It's funny to see. Sad. But funny.

  • NabbitFan730 Possessed Puppet 💀🎃 (@NabbitFan730) reported

    @DynamoSuperX That reason and the service is really rubs the wrong way especially when Nintendo is the few consoles manufacturers who actually were decent enough not to charge for online.

  • Chaosbringerkey chaos_bringer_keybae🔞 (@Chaosbringerkey) reported

    @DynamoSuperX nintendo still tryin to figure out how to do a good online service and it certainly aint good

  • Redacious_ Яedacious🌹🔜G8 (@Redacious_) reported

    Such a dumb and way too specific problem that I can't do anything about besides send it to Nintendo and take three weeks t get it back

  • watashihov 𝔥𝔬𝔳 (@watashihov) reported

    was excited to play ocarina of time on the original 64 version, but apparently the input lag on this ******* nintedo 64 emulator is 220ms.. nice one nintendo

  • can_i_just_ big jumper lady (@can_i_just_) reported

  • grapeshoez gumlycrossing (@grapeshoez) reported
