  Setting up that queue for last night was fun, and it certainly took my mind off my Nintendo switch problem for a while 🙈

  @Jaden31497 @LeakyPandy Of course Zynga is going to deny it they don’t want to get in any further trouble with Nintendo. Plus even if Znyga doesn’t have it it doesn’t mean the other 10 sources doesn’t.

  apple is lowkey going to beat out gaming consoles simply because people can’t get new Gen consoles at retail lmao if Microsoft/ Xbox and Sony don’t fix it in 2 yrs apple will be the gaming champs they’re already beating Nintendo as people aren’t getting switches anymore

  @SuperZeldaGirl My main issue with Other M is the controls. "Options are scary" was the absolute most boneheaded mandate any Nintendo executive ever made. Give us an HD version with better controls!!

  @PokemonUnite Please fix the issue where you can link your Nintendo/Pokemon trainer club account when your trying it on mobile.

  Even just this list would take years to complete and I hate having a backlog of so many quality games that I don't have the time to play. Switch is the main Nintendo console that having too many games has been a problem to me. Full list is 3x this. Whats on your backlog?

  @NinPlay307 @jacko_tc They don't have Nintendo plushs anymore they got in trouble with Nintendo so they use their own original characters.

  I’m surprised people are still so dead set on Crash being the final Smash character, I feel like Nintendo would wanna stay as far away from the Activision **** as possible.

  @NintendoAmerica Just say Crash Bandicoot and call it a day

  the only valid criticism so far is the gacha rates etc, yes i agree that the rates are bad but other than that some i just, dont quite get it - there is a lot of bugs mhy is actively creating new contents and trying to develop for nintendo switch while trying to fix bug

  Ummmm so I bought a game & the website said there was an error but I still got charged & don’t see the game @NintendoAmerica?

  @kenzer161 I host a server that has 3 Xbox and 1 Nintendo Switch player, plus 2 PC players so yeah. Cross play is a big deal. Also being able to login on my android tablet to check up on things is a massive plus. Also I simply prefer the game engine, it's just way smoother than Java.

  Anyone else still playing Animal Crossing New Horizons? Cause I'm getting ready to murder Pascal, & I blame you @NintendoAmerica cause that glitch still hasn't been fixed & I need those mermaid gowns not pearls!!!

  The Nintendo Switch Online service contains a library of NES, SNES, Nintendo 64, and Sega Genesis games. Holy crap, what a timeline we're living in.

  KahoXN (@KahoXN) reported 33 minutes ago

  Oh, and Nintendo wants to charge more for the online because they're adding more Virtual Consoles to their online service. Which I should remind you, is something again, you already pay for on the online. A lot of people think it's ok? I'm just again, disappointed.

  not to get my hopes up, but does anyone think we’ll get resident evil 2 (for nintendo 64) on the switch online service

  @TheDemoScout It’s just not gonna happen. I have accepted that it’s not gonna be Sora, Crash, Rayman, Master Chief, Doomguy nor Ryu Hayabusa. Knowing Nintendo, they are gonna put in another generic anime swordfighter from a series that is obscure.

  Ssbu online is crazy. One match connection is rock solid, next match it takes 10 seconds to move an inch because the guy is lagging so bad, and I get a warning from SDing or Dcing because who ******** wants to play that out? Braindead Nintendo.

  @monsterhunter Fix your dang regional pricing in Taiwan at least. Man it's worse then Nintendo.

  MADMASK (@Purple_Pimper) reported 47 minutes ago

  Nintendo is the only platform that can remove features/functionality and completely get away with it. 2DS/New 2DS. Switch Lite (a switch that literally does not switch.) Why do we let them do this while they also continually lag behind in nearly every aspect of online everything?

  @ecto_fun N64 was just announced for the Nintendo switch online service So just put up a bunch of posters and a tv and ur pretty much living that era

  @azure_monarch The rumor is that Nintendo did inquire about Crash, but Activision wanted way too much money, so Nintendo said no.

  Gaijinhunter (@aevanko) reported 54 minutes ago

  Now that I've had time to let TGS sink in, I think the only issue was that they had done the Nintendo Direct and called the vid shown a "teaser" and suggested it was a teaser of what they will show at TGS. So it made my expectations higher. Not disappointed in what they did show.

  @MigLarrosa @Drunkenshaolin @IGN Agreed its a console why people have this thing when it comes to Nintendo I never understand why it's a problem to call it what it is now granted it's hybrid unless you get a lite then yea I get it

  @Nobody507350453 @FlyBotJus83 @kidsmoove That logic doesn't work considering how well Bethesda games sell on playstation and Nintendo, they're saying no to $ already, a monopolised subscription service for games is a possible future if it happens the industry is ******
