    @DandyP_ @Schaffrillas i have no problem with consoles. Im unironically nintendo worst race though. Go back to retweeting anime girls instead of pretending you know anything about gaming bud

  • fighterninja9 flurry (@fighterninja9) reported

    @BandaiNamcoUS Hey can you guys please fix the save mode on the Switch version of One Heros Justice 2? Game wont save progress. I don't give a damn about the other new DLC stuff until its fixed. #OneHerosJustice2 #Switch #Nintendo Switch

  • K05968798 K (@K05968798) reported

    @AngryJoeShow Because they are probably going the nintendo subscription route with a bit of psnow twist. They dont need day 1 releases, financial reports show this. Xbox needed day 1 service as no1 was buying the games. Playstation is doing more than fine,why copy 3rd place

  • HomuTamu_chan Tamura-chan (@HomuTamu_chan) reported

    @bndzmakehadance okay so if i look at it from a black persons pov, I don't see anything wrong? They aren't stealing my culture and parading it as their own. They aren't disrespecting it by wearing it in a kids nintendo game. What's the issue?

  • YTangeldevil21 angeldevil21 (@YTangeldevil21) reported

    Hi, today I will give you tips of avoiding problems with your Nintendo, PlayStation, or Xbox controller, what I mean problem is mostly drifts or buttons malfunctioning or both so these are the tips I made and found, I have my splatoon 2 pro controller for like 6, 7, or 8 months

  • elliotduby Elliot Duby (@elliotduby) reported

    @Reecee_yt Too negative about Nintendo. The Nintendo crowd has an issue with forced positivity People take it too personally when they don’t agree with his takes

  • GallaerOfficial Gallaer (@GallaerOfficial) reported

    @AtarashiColyn @OatmealDome Microsoft already had years in online service before consoles and Sony was similar. Nintendo hasn't. They are trying to figure out systems that work and remain family friendly and suitable to investors.

    @TheRodSaN @commodoreihs Eh? The PS1 was launched in September that is a non issue imo. But timing is everything, Sega and Nintendo ruled the console market in the 90s, by 1992 16-bit was in its prime the market was nowhere near ready to go 32bit, anything and everything released in 1993 and 1994 failed.

    @m_rizky_gumilar @nintendolife The only problem with that is the Switch we have now is still selling so well that Nintendo knows they can take their sweet time on that. They forced themselves into releasing it on current hardware with the 2022 announcement.

  • trax_txk7 TraX-TXK7 (@trax_txk7) reported

    @Tapsy___ @zerin_7 been a while since i was on a ladder. its a hassle to write and strike all the time xd nintendo should just fix their matchmaking.. -.-

  • NintendoShame Nintendo Shame (@NintendoShame) reported

    It's been 229 days since the last game was added to the Nintendo Switch Online service

  • SlickShinySexy SlickShinySexy (@SlickShinySexy) reported

    Nintendo really needs to fix this Joycons drift... Just got the OLED it's not even 4 weeks old and the new red and blue joy cons are already drifting. And yeah still sticking with the dark mode dock...

  • FNGameUpdates Fortnite Updates (@FNGameUpdates) reported

    Epic has released a maintenance patch on Nintendo Switch to address stability issues. #Fortnite

  • deadgameinalt DEMONDICE Fangirl/Celesheep (@deadgameinalt) reported

    Good morning y'all. This was gonna be a nice tweet and I was gonna post a pic of some of my cats but instead... I believe my nintendo switch has broken. Idek how. It worked when I plugged it in and then it just... stopped turning on. Hopefully it'll work again when I get home.

  • Landon32292614 SWITCHL3R (@Landon32292614) reported from Beaverton, Oregon

    @FortniteStatus The nintendo switch is a stability issue itself

  • DIAGRAPHEPHOBE — board-tan enjoyer — (@DIAGRAPHEPHOBE) reported

    @mizuironosunday HELPPPP i added that to be silly i like to think the nintendo worker polycule have game nights and then crash late at night

  • eriktuf Erik (@eriktuf) reported

    @KVennie @the_Gex Microsoft clearly have no problem letting Banjo hang out at Nintendo these days

  • DemZenbus ChrisYukineisbestGeah (@DemZenbus) reported

    @OfficialXboxU Console warriors have severe brain problems. Sony, MS, Nintendo ain't paying y'all yet you still shill this hard for some plastic boxes?

  • LOLzers__ lhama (@LOLzers__) reported

    @Clemmy_1969 @LynneAndrews18 @mariokarttourEN No! Just login into your Nintendo account again.

  • elbethium Elbethium (@elbethium) reported

    @Nyegnav It is nintendo and a zelda game, it is guaranteed to be praised by critics. And they dont need modders to fix it either

  • TheNSAagent TheNSAagent (@TheNSAagent) reported

    @EvilLucario @NayrmanBSC Ah, I see now. The problem you're talking about only exists for multi-platform games, where they can't design the entire game around a single controller layout. Except this has and always will be a Nintendo game. So they totally can design the game around a single controller.

  • playFPS91 OneEpicAbove (@playFPS91) reported

    @NinEverything And now I demand to fix the Nintendo online netcode.

  • SamFisher09 Andrew #BlackLivesMatter (@SamFisher09) reported

    @AlleywayBrawler @YongYea The same way Naughty Dog got a pass for the ****** story of the TLOU2? Playstation and Nintendo have notoriously got away with things. It was never an issue then. Sometimes a game is so great that technical shortcoming are forgiven ie BOTW,ED, Skyrim etc

  • Primal_Dee Captain E3 2018 (@Primal_Dee) reported

    @kaiyerra Funny Nintendo switch online subscription service

  • welshland syeve (@welshland) reported

    @NintendoUK why is your customer service so poor? I bought the wrong region DLC for Binding Of Issac and have been in contact with customer service but they are now ghosting me regarding a refund.

  • KokSenWai Kok Sen Wai (@KokSenWai) reported

    @TechieKitteh Luigi Mansion 3 is Nintendo, so that is on the Switch. I heard great things about It Takes Two though. Couple's coop. Story is about a husband and wife going through a divorce before their daughter cursed(?) them to be dolls and they have to work together to fix themselves.

  • una_bassil Una 💙💛 (@una_bassil) reported from Rīga, Rīga

    @NintendoEurope hi I am located in Latvia. I barely used my Nintendo switch. Now the joy cons are moving on their own uncontrollably and I can’t fix it. What should I be doing?

  • phillswaffer Phill Swaffer (@phillswaffer) reported

    @NintendoUK I’m still awaiting a response to an issue 2 weeks after it was initially raised. Any chance of a response?

  • RolandCezanne Stefano D (@RolandCezanne) reported

    @thatskygame Hello! Is there some trouble for Nintendo Switch users as well? I have networking errors although I'm regularly connected.

  • 96Nardone Jacob_Nardone_96 (@96Nardone) reported

    @That_Y_Guy @bandicootpage If they're just sitting on their asses and not working with those games, then yes, I am. Fans have been waiting on new games from those IPs for years, and Nintendo has published Kid Icarus Uprising a few years ago, and nothing new since, while F-Zero had nothing for decades.
