  The Ninja Kitty (@NinjaKittyLife) reported 24 seconds ago

  @NintendoAmerica @NintendoCanada Is it normal for a Switch 2 to constantly have ' Software Was Closed Because An Error Occurred ' when loading games even after rebooting and redownloading the games?

  Probably 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

  @Nintendo The Legend of Zelda movie delay to May 7, 2027, is due to "production reasons," likely to ensure quality, as stated by Miyamoto. This is the first delay since the March 2027 date was set in 2025. No evidence supports prior delays, though the long development since 2023 may feel like multiple postponements. Fans are split—some are frustrated, others back the focus on quality. Details on specific production issues are unclear, so the exact cause remains speculative.

  4/ The Switch's Joy-Con Drift: Trust Issues? 🎮🔧 Nintendo faced criticism for the Joy-Con drift issue, as many players experienced problems shortly after purchase. This led to lawsuits and demands for better quality control. #NintendoSwitch #JoyConDrift

  @tash__i @jukins5 @pushsquare The switch 2 is selling faster then the PS5 and switch 1 were selling at launch 💀 No, Nintendo themselves confirmed they shipped enough units so they wouldn't have issues with stocks.

  @jonathancigaret @iiWhiskey @Nick_Marseil well playstation isn’t trying to be a streaming service. They still want to sell consoles and console exclusives is how they do that, same as nintendo

  @_Ashaman @Pirat_Nation I heard the Mario movie had the same issue with Peach, and Nintendo forced Illumination to reel it WAY back until we got what we actually got.

  @dgxchvz @yggdrasilsaltar ...how can Mario steal from Crash if Crash isn't the first series to do a thing? Good job trying to skirt you original point --- Mini-turbos come from the original Mario Kart. Diddy Kong Racing is from a sub-series Mario. F-Zero (a Nintendo game) did anti-grav before Crash.

  It’s the exact same console, same components… even the same broken controllers that drift. Stick to the switch 1 and give it like 5 years until nintendo actually innovates and makes an original console again.

  @charlieINTEL @ethangach That’s the issue facing Microsoft is the cost issue for handhelds with x86 cpus, that at lower power burgers are not as efficient as ARM. To put console games on arm, the whole code needs to be compiled for arm from x86. Nintendo has been the biggest pioneer of ARM gaming.

  @AngryJoeShow Or, don't support it at all. Game pass being "cheaper" is by design. Nintendo created the problem, MS replicates the problem and is selling the solution.

  How @NoMansSky released cross save with Nintendo switch 2, have be absolutely broken and unable to play cross save, after people paid for the product for a second time. To not even acknowledge it is diabolical behaviour.

  @APXMK Nintendo needs to add cooldowns to the jump thing. Shows how broken it is

  @Grummz imo its not even the price, but just bad customer service/quality lately. i miss old nintendo. im passing for now.

  @coyotejack343 Nintendo is known for letting devs take time. Mario Wonder had no deadline and metroid prime 4 has been in development for 8 years because it was originally not good enough. The Pokemon problem comes from how Gamefreak and TPC operate together

  @Sadcat42069 @ModernVintageG Because Nintendo first party games are very polished, high quality, no day 1 patch games. Nintendo launched a new console with a new multiplayer game and it worked. How many new online games have server issues the first couple of days?

  @MucharV @ShadowzPaine @Nintendo That’s the thing about these triggered troons. They project their problems onto you with pathetic insults then block you

  @Nintendeal Instead of resolve the issue flat out they just put a Band-Aid on the situation L Nintendo

  @Grummz I'm more concerned with Nintendo's decaying business practices. The empty cartridges, the increasing service fees, and mistreatment of talent is what's turning me off.

  Stephen (@lostfrog1357) reported 45 minutes ago

  @SteelSupport My Arctis Nova 7P doesn't show up as a sound output device on my Nintendo Switch 2. The system sees the headset as a USB microphone, though. I can't find anything about this issue. Are there plans to resolve it with a firmware update?

  @Pirat_Nation Actually Nintendo isn't the problem as they actually offered to help Game Freak, and Game Freak ******* refused

  @ev1dentLEE @Murillos14 @kirawontmiss Yeah? thats what i said? are you reading what i said? The problem is support console price hikes, game price hikes and further pushing the “you don’t own what you buy” narrative more by nintendo having full control to brick your switch anytime they want. shouldnt support that :/

  If I said that I think $80 games aren’t the problem and that the problem is that the general public doesn’t get paid enough to live comfortably while still being able to buy things they enjoy I’ll get called a Nintendo glazer and to shut up
