  • HodesAj A.J. Hodes (Jaguar Warrior) (Me/Myself/I) (@HodesAj) reported

    Did some last minute purchases of some 3DS games that I missed before the eShop closes for good. It's kind of sad that Nintendo isn't doing more to preserve more of their backlog. Their online service still sucks

  • SMASHnewsBOT Smash Headlines BOT (@SMASHnewsBOT) reported

    Sakurai SHOCKS THE WORLD by announcing Shadow of the Beast DLC, and Nintendo shocks the world by announcing new DLC character from Kingdoms of Amalur, and Hazmatt is already claiming the character will be BROKEN

  • Bumblebee0400 Bumblebee0400 (@Bumblebee0400) reported

    Hey guys, I got bad news, I won't be able to post Luigi's Mansion 3 or possibly my reaction to Nintendo High this week, the storage device I had these on is now corrupted and I can't fix it, so I have to redo everything I had on it, but I will post them ASAP I'm sorry about this.

  • kcblues000 Cryodagger (@kcblues000) reported

    With Metroid Prime remastered having fantastic feedback with its upgrade, how do you prefer Nintendo to handle their Gamecube games? should they port to their online service, or go the same route as Prime?

  • kiapurity Kia Purity in 🧡💜 emetwol/azemet heck. (@kiapurity) reported

    I'm convinced Amazon is no longer reliable for release date delivery with video games as whole anymore after not being able to get Ishin on release day -- used to be a problem with Nintendo games but now it's affecting other consoles too

  • IronJoeBro Iron Joe - Ashley & Red for whatever can have ‘em (@IronJoeBro) reported

    oh hell, you can only use those profile backgrounds you buy with platinum My Nintendo Points with characters from the associated set. what if I wanna put Spring Man in Frigate Orpheon huh, what’s the problem

  • twhmorris Billy Morris (@twhmorris) reported

    Raccoon dogs is a needlessly confusing term since they’re not raccoons or dog. We should call them tanuki which elides that problem, is a snappy word, and already has some penetration (thanks Nintendo!) in English.

  • spectralsquire Slightly Miles (@spectralsquire) reported

    Imagine being @NintendoAmerica and having a worse online matchmaking system that @Blizzard_Ent @Activision … like… having the money to fix it and make their people happy and actively doing nothing

  • jai_jigoku Jai (@jai_jigoku) reported

    ATLUS. PLZ. PHYSICALS. AND FIX GAMES BEFORE YOU PORT EM (cough p3p). I’d pay egregious amounts for Switch physicals. If I wanted the digitals I’d just pirate em :) @NintendoAmerica @Atlus_West

  • TheKingofDawg Jdawg (@TheKingofDawg) reported

    okay Nintendo you really got to fix this cause this getting annoying you are telling me that u can't put me in a match with different players but instead u give me the same person 3 times in x rank. Seriously man it's like im giving him wins but I'm trying not to.

  • c_duruin Luke_hokage (@c_duruin) reported

    Hello @NintendoAmerica sorry for this Notification, But Pokemon unite is a Huge success For The moneygrab but for us We're not having fun with @PokemonUnite the game, it seems they don't listen to Us and they just keep ******* up the game. Fix it for us -Love Phrogbot >:(

  • trojanisaac #1 echo simp (@trojanisaac) reported

    How is Nintendo gonna charge 20 dollars a year for a **** *** service 🤡

  • patricknotirl patrick (@patricknotirl) reported

    nintendo wii broken

  • __Riggy__ ☀️Ryan☀️ (@__Riggy__) reported

    Why is my ps5 controller drifting this is supposed to be a Nintendo exclusive issue

  • athentheliar athen 🏴‍☠️ (@athentheliar) reported

    If the next balance patch doesn't deal with most of the problems in the meta OR fix most of the maps in some way then it's quite literally just pure laziness from Nintendo developers. It's already obvious but if it happens again it's just conformation.

  • supergalaxysam samuel! (@supergalaxysam) reported

    so i got scarlet earlier this month and sped through it so i can get walking wake and iron leaves. apparently due to an error, they're going to repeat the event in april. nintendo switch allows multiple save files, and i want to have my OCs more involved in what i do...🤔🧐
