Om3gARED66 (@Om3gARED66) reported@SpartanKyro I want the million dollars but the game is so difficult! Also there's no mercy from lag on this map if you play Nintendo Switch. Sadly my Step Sister had to experience that
-
Strange Vision (@StrangeVision99) reported@theWellRedMage Even on the eshop, the service that Nintendo controls, they run offers on their games. The price doesn't get a permanent drop though and the concept of "players choice/platinum" releases seems to have died out with PS3/Wii U, so that may be part of why people feel this way.

Josh Bacon #SupportUkraine 🇺🇦 (@JBTheCarFanatic) reported@TheIkranRider @Aiden1291 “since the big N is a ***** in preservation” Becuase Nintendo would much rather you buy Nintendo Switch Online and play the games that way with their service, since they'll make more money that way than if they let you download the ROMs for free.

Jared Pachan (@tsundokugames) reported@BobbyStein @WickerMan22x @therealcliffyb Copyright issue. Xbox had to be different because the A/B/X/Y layout is a Nintendo patent. Also why Don't originally went with symbols.
-
mouuu~ (@minamoto777) reported@Chaosxsilencer @ScufGaming Nintendo switch/PS5. Cause the last console that I had before it was broken was a PS1
-
Powers (@GamePowersYT) reportedWhy tf do I queue a 6 star ditto raid just to get screwed by lag? 2 turns in and the Tera energy is released? **** ty for nothing after several mins waiting.... @NintendoAmerica
-
DrennttGG (@Drenttzaggett20) reported@MarioDiamondYT It is a lot of personal issues in my life, and having different opinions about Nintendo than the usual majority. I insisted on there being a likelihood of paid dlc for battle league and everyone hated my guts.
-
miranda ☭ (@mirandapptx) reportedNintendo is so weird because like, yeah, a lot of their issues as a game industry giant stem from their nature as a capitalist corporation, but even within a capitalist framework they somehow manage to make the worst decisions imaginable and STILL get rewarded for it.
-
TheIkranRider (@TheIkranRider) reported@JBTheCarFanatic @Aiden1291 Yeah more money, more problems wi/ lagging internet, and very lil choices; stark contrast to even the Wii Virtual Console, and the second hand market is nearly impossible! No thanks! Nintendo is a neglectful business and NEVER cares for it's retro library with scarcity and greed!
-
Nestor of Neandria 🇯🇵🇺🇲 (@KNeandria) reported@trainerluna13 @NintendoAmerica It's super annoying, right? Have you had any issue with the Switch's internal clock incorrectly tallying up your Play Time for any games?
-
Kenneth Daniels (@Kdot20219) reported@FortniteGame @EpicGames Fix the a Nintendo Switch version my goodness
-
TheCrazyGuy (@AzureGamingHD) reported@KingDudley_XBOX @XcloudTimdog The issue with that the FTC doesn't care about all of that. The fact that they a creating a artificial duopoly by not including Nintendo as a competitor shows that.
-
Chris Virgosun Ariesmoon Librarising (@chriszapata666) reportedDuring the cutscene here. Luckily it got patched, but this error at the time had me kinda creeped out. #DELTARUNE #Nintendo
-
Hokage Luminary (@trainerluna13) reported@KNeandria @NintendoAmerica Its really annoying and no I haven't had issues with my switch's internal clock and I have a lite
-
Blair Renaud // LOW-FI 🟥🟧⬛ (@Anticleric) reported@brian1625 @DanStapleton I think there are legal issues with having a live GBT bot in the game. Could say something off colour, and Sony or Nintendo might not like that.
-
🍄 Hidden 🍄 (@hidden_is_dumb) reported@volcelfemale How is it your fault that the game crashed? I know you forgot to save, but if the product wasn’t flawed so drastically, you could have played the game without fear of losing your progress 🤔 Nintendo/ Gamefreak need to step up and fix it
-
165hz Rollback High polling rate enjoyer (@HouseHusbandFGC) reported@ModernVintageG how is it possible that nintendo has the best retro service atm when theirs is also super lackluster. Imagine how bad this Sony library is. I only feel bad for people who got baited into the retro upgrade.
-
BewbsOP (@BewbsOP) reported@chadmasta5 @Ceresbane The problem isn't even youtubes copyright system. The problem is nintendo believing that fair use doesn't apply to them because they don't have it, yet using dmca which *they don't have*. It's like they only care about acknowledging the legal systems that give them power.
-
Yassine (@ysobh53) reported@EuloIsTaken @Shiriaro I am working on the port let me run it by uncle nintendo first Fr tho u can play those games via streaming, if people genuinely wanted to get into a game they most certainly would (disabilities and money problems not with standing)
-
🌼 shines✨a dragon's mate (@Dragonchants) reported@miqoroni Cries well I did want to restart my island so I guess... motivation. I just had no idea you needed to do your manual island backup when I had Nintendo's cloud service enabled. That's what those services are there for!! 😰
-
Neil4321 (@neil432111) reported@NintendoUK disgusting behaviour, admitted that its been lost & had problems with the courier, which I assume means they stole it! No coms, up to us to chase, need to hand sign a form for a refund, Ridiculous, now have to pay £100 more, wish my son liked @sonic_hedgehog
-
glhfbruno (@glhfbruno) reported@ImmatureGamerX ( the nintendo switch was lagging so much in chapter 2 and 3 it was unplayable tbh )
-
Dan🌻 (@apparently_dan) reported@DougDougFood Bought this Zelda game for my kids to play together. Booted it up and discovered only one person can play? Returned the game immediately, and now looking into whether I can return the console. Nintendo used to be good when I was a kid. This is just poor customer service.
-
Pea’s Miscellaneous Archive (@PeaNSClips) reported@sookaretto Same, but I’m the only one having problems out of all the people I’ve played with bc I’m a bad person according to Nintendo
-
SoulRez (@nelpwn) reported@m_rizky_gumilar @spicy_nudeduls @gematsu Thought Indonesia had smart people but then comes ur retarded *** you are a disgrace and you also have mental problems because u keep trolling about switch on every Nintendo comment but you like every official Nintendo tweet.
-
Sawyer Morrison (@Slammoryt) reported@NintendoAmerica fix scarlet & violet. I just lost 10 hours worth of stuff due to my map not opening and freezing everything
-
Marc (@MarcTech1996) reportedMicrosoft would be better off being a third party publisher at this point and not losing $100-200 per console sale. Imagine having all their (now that it includes Bethesda) games on PC, Nintendo and PlayStation hardware and with an EA Play like subscription service as an option…
-
Andi (@audirauf) reported@witchergame Whenever I try to link my steam account in the menu screen on nintendo switch, I get redirected to a page with the message "This page cannot be displayed" pls fix this :( thanks
-
Niels Slotboom (@Razelimus) reported@Sicho @IGN Well yes, just as much as EA, Namco, Capcom are doing on their own games, I was talking about the 30% revenue platformholders take when host games on their service (just like Sony and Nintendo do, and the reason why we have multiple launchers)
-
Kwayke 👀 (@Kwayke9) reported@Sendouc @PKfuzzy Sub saver might be an issue here. Making it so it cannot increase the number of subs you can throw in a single ink tank kind of kills sub spam outside maybe jr (depends on how Nintendo handles the big ink tank)
