Tuggernut (@Tuggernut4) reported@GTBreezy_ @Imladris1893 @PostUp_SOG Okay so what you're saying is it's Xbox doing this to get everyone over to gamepass to then raise the price?? Is that why Nintendo is doing $80 games as well?? The reaching to hate on gamepass is getting old. It's a good service.

blanko (@Blanks_o2) reported@SW1TCHBLXDE ok so you would need an update and internet to update so you would not be able to with a fresh system or a system you had to restore and a fresh cart. this would be an issue if/when nintendo offlines the servers/shop. both are pretty common scenarios
-
Pixel (@pixelluma) reported@NintendoAmerica Omg porygon2 everywhere! Better watch out, might crash into a wall
-
Mr Topps Card (@MrToppsCard) reported@uniformcritic They're designed to stand out. They sure do. Look at the TD one in Toronto or the Nintendo one in Seattle. No amount of complaining will fix it. They're awful and they're here to stay.
-
Eduardo Sinisterra (@socv55) reported@Nintendeal Instead of resolve the issue flat out they just put a Band-Aid on the situation L Nintendo
-
DragonStar Errorita (@DS_the_Echidna) reportedClosing statement. This isn’t a skill issue, as most of it is just clutter from the amount of players. My sibling said ”you only have fun when you’re winning” IM NOT HAVING FUN BECAUSE ITS JUST STRAIGHT UP FRUSTRATING. This was a huge downgrade from 8 deluxe. Do better Nintendo.
-
ᴀᴅᴅɪᴇ🥀 BORN AGAIN (@addiebee03) reportedcommunication error on two 1st place finished i hate u nintendo im sorry i cant afford mario ksrt world let me live
-
TempestWolfVT (@tempestwolfvt) reported@retro_cheater @ArtistNcs That's a good decision too. I should've stated *as of now* but then again, Nintendo never did fix the drift for the original Switch either so we'll have to play the waiting game to see what they do. We can only hope for the best.
-
Buhnug🏳️⚧️ (@buhnug) reportedProbably not a broken move but one time when one of my English teachers brought in her Nintendo switch to play games and we played ssbu I played as snake and just spammed his crouching Jab and somehow it was just able to beat them, the only counterplay they found was to play Ness
-
FlaksOut (@FlaksOut) reported@ActualAero You are assuming GF is the issue here… Nintendo is the one not letting them finish the game to match the release schedule so they can sell merch
-
Detvan SK (@DetvanS) reportedBut I was not meaned any of these things. You was just assumed I meant that but I wrote something else. Yes, I wrote it is risky, I still think that and if this risk will not go well then PS and Nintendo lost competitor and on the contrary, they will hardlock more games into consoles than before because will have enough of users for that. But yeah, I also think would be good if Xbox would go well with console working along PC system. But what I was really critizing that Xbox Rog Ally do not solving any of that. It is Xbox device that do not working at Xbox system. It is just next Win device just optimised to compete with Steam OS. That is only purpose of device.
-
Monado // Justin (@Monado_) reported@KahunaCilver520 Same people that call Nintendo the devil of the industry too, like yeah they have their problems, like being lawsuit heavy and such. But at least I know the money for that $80 game isn't lining the pockets of the CEO. They're actively hiring people, not firing lol.
-
Noir 浮世 (@madcap412) reported@brielarson @NintendoAmerica You could have purchased several of these with no problems, as you're a washed-up celebrity Why do you get to receive a free one?
-
Diaily (@DiailyDarudas) reported@pory_leeks So the big ******* problem with pokemon games are with Nintendo making gamefreak push out shovelware games.
-
Septemberus Octoberus (@ElCaptainCook) reported@NintendoAmerica Can we fix mario kart? Bugged wall jumps, 0 progression progress, no multi-player free roam. The game feels unfinished. Which is wild considering how long you said it's been finished.
-
How-to Gaming (@how_togaming) reported@AnAverageGamerX I don’t think he’s a Nintendo glazer like so many people act like he is but I kinda wish he would leave the haters alone, I think that’s his issue. He’s brining a lot of attention to a controversial topic. But I do hope those numbers check out so he isn’t hammered anymore.
-
Elevatorisbest 🗿🦅🇪🇺 (@Elevatorisbest) reported@videotechuk_ @NintendoAmerica Nah, don't justify even higher prices, 70 euros/dollars is expensive as is, add in fact that publishers like to price things at 10-20 dollars more in poorer countries for whatever reason and it's a hellhole that deserves some AAA crash
-
Epicness (@ABitofEpicness) reportedOkay, im genuinely getting pissed off @NintendoAmerica Pikmin 3 Deluxe is broken on your system. Its not even just crashes its literal visual bugs that are borderline seizure inducing Care to explain how a glorified Wii U game ran better on the Switch than its successor ?????
-
MegamanNG (@MegamanRA) reported@antdude92 I'm not surprised. Nintendo has a major shovelware problem. They allow this game to be on the eShop and yet games like Neptunia Re;birth, Menhera Farm and others are denied. Know what I call this? Hypocrisy.
-
ChiefBee (@johnditty321) reported@GameSpot Will cost $89.99 to sign in to your account through the Nintendo server
-
Tobi Adeyinka (@AdeyinkaRotimi1) reported@Chris_Dring I fully expect them to launch a streaming only service or subscription for TVs and stuff in the future if adoption starts gaining traction. But they will do everything to ensure that 30% is still very lucrative on their own platform and not give it others. Nintendo will be well..
-
plasticbagger (@plasticbagger) reportedim honestly shocked no one woke has brought up how the inventor of Donkey Kong said in a Nintendo Power issue in like 2003 that he based the character and world of Donkey Kong on minstrel shows….like wtf. is Nintendo that powerful they can just bury ****** up **** like that?
-
Kuchi @ Neo RGamePH 🎮🏇🎤 (@KuchiSeiyuGamer) reportedThe free to play Power Pro baseball game for PlayStation 4 and Nintendo Switch by Konami is closing down its service
-
GregToms (@Itstommytime1) reported@panik1881 More *Microsoft* platforms LMAO That's the problem LMAO Thr agreement exists. They promised nintendo players
-
Mooc (@MucharV) reported@PropaneMan92 @Nintendo I mean, your community has been making up words for years, why is it a problem now
-
Moove Over (@ZoieNolan1) reported@NextGenPlayer There was a world parts shortage in 2020 thanks to the COVID pandemic. Because of this, both Sony and Xbox struggled to produce enough units to meet demand. That is no longer an issue in 2025, Nintendo has access to it's parts. So I feel like this is an unfair comparison.
-
ً (@Mordexai0) reported@Texalogic @MightyKeef The problem is you still need the Playstation connected (& I think on or running?) & you need a GOOD internet connection or it sucks ***. Also the difference between Sony & Nintendo is the Switch IS the console itself. You can't just buy a Portal without a PS5, like a Wii U.
-
2Bpie (@taskarimasta_) reported@AG_Gobstopper You're right. I don't have a principle, a rule I apply to every company. And I have absolutely broken this standard with other companies, probably without even knowing. This is specifically against Nintendo, and I should probably apologize for making it wider than that.
-
Weeb Fiend (@Unfiend_17) reported@LucarioSplat2 I have the same issue. Not just Ninjala, but other games too on Nintendo Switch 2.
-
violetpurpleish (@violetpurpleish) reported@Adziwo_ @NintyPrime Yeah that's the part I really hate about buying new hardware. If the issue with the trigger seems like something that doesn't fix itself over time, you might want to send it in for repair. I would hope Nintendo lets you keep the console so you can still play it in the meantime.
