@WayneClear @NintendoAmerica If you get a subscription service, maybe. But this isn’t a subscription service. You are purchasing a digital product. You own that product once you have paid for it. And of course they aren’t confident it’ll be a hit. You yourself are an example of why they have no reason to

@NintendoItalia Thinking of Nontendo to every problem I have: here my poor eyes don't recognize the too little nations' flags😳 Can the Nintendo create a joke for Kids to recognize&learn all the Flags of all the Nations? Maybe with 2words to explain the meaning of any flag🤩

@scantypop point being that it's a valid criticism. Why do pokemon fans complain about pokemon fans complaining about actual problems like am I supposed to accept whatever Nintendo puts out?

@Wario64 Also just an FYI, Nintendo is apparently having processing issues. My Pokemon pens have been stuck in Cleveland for like a week.

@NeoGameSpark Nintendo has the most trash online service, can’t even party chat. Not making excuses, just setting realistic expectations

Hello @ChadGrenier,I have a question regarding nintendo switch and I would like to know please if you have an answer. My question is,do you have a patch planned to fix the game's voice chat in crossplay?I mention this because it is impossible to talk to friends on other platforms

@dkAbbaspeaks @notaxation @geoffkeighley Nintendo too. The problem is though, is Sony and Nintendo have issues in other areas. Sure, they make awesome first-party content, But Sony needs to be dragged into the crossplay era kicking and screaming, both Nintendo and Sony have terrible digital return policies, etc. (1/2)

@NWitheld @NintendoUK They wanted to charge me £60 to fix one of my joycons (kept drifting) which is pretty much the price of a whole new set 🤔 hopefully you can find a solution!

The only consoles that GTA V did not get a re-release in are the Wii U and the Nintendo Switch. Mainly due to hardware issues like in Outer Worlds or something. I could be missing others.

@NWitheld @NintendoUK Oh I'm sorry to hear that! They should fix it, it's not like it's damaged on purpose 🤔😔

@CloudySpotty As someone who still owns an NES and had to recently take it apart to try and fix the old and corroded pins, I dispute the "continue to work" part of that. :P But that technology still powers most of Nintendo's stuff (the Wii and WiiU being the only exceptions).

@EminemSwirly @BoundaryBreak I mean the Tweet was a troll but personally I'm fine with Friend Codes Real problem is lack of a party w/voice chat feature, but hey, Switch Pro on the horizon, just hoping Nintendo fixes this stuff eventually

Nah but in all seriousness Nintendo has listened to the fans the most during the switch era unless they are new issues cough cough drift so I feel like if it was ever gonna happen...well nows the best chance given its less than a 10% in my mind

What to put in Nintendo's E3 to make me freak out: BotW2 MP Trilogy or MP4 Just anything Metroid Crash or Impa in Smash The rumoured DKC New Fire Emblem Obviously don't expect all of these. Don't want to expect anything at all tbh. But if 1 or 2 of these happen I'll be happy

@SMariohero It's not true. SML did bad **** with his Mario Plushies, meanwhile SMG4 had permissions and used Mario characters for his videos with no issue from Nintendo, don't be biased, dumb ****.

@RandomName256 @time_pizzer You know what, this whole graphics argument is not making the issue any better, I’ll just say that the whole stigma of PlayStation versions of Sonic games being “objectively worse” mostly boils down to “PlayStation Sonic bad, Sonic better on Nintendo and Xbox, tee hee hee.”

One problem with the Switch’s eShop is that it’s becoming like the Wii’s library - full of shovelware 🙃 a lot of the third-party games are cheap and cheaply made games to get a quick buck and Nintendo doesn’t regulate it

@gayworms Like hell ill ever buy a console again , even if i wanted to play Nintendo games the switch is so broken and disappointing that i would not feel safe shelling out another few hundred bucks on something that may ship with the same defects
