    anyway guess i won't be playing pokemon unite 'til i fix the 2fa on my nintendo account i mean i could still use the switch i think?? but yeah no mobile pokemon unite for now huhu,,,

  • GameAW1 Steven Alvarez (@GameAW1) reported

    @segagamer @Djsazm182 @pcgamer Nintendo hardware is fine. Its always been the cheaper option and to this day they still are the hardware pioneer. (You can't seriously believe Deck is its own thing with no Switch inspiration whatsoever) The problem comes when they try to push it harder than it can handle.

  • DarklingGaymer ❤️Darkling Gaymer🖤 HYPED FOR SONIC FRONTIERS!!! (@DarklingGaymer) reported

    @VgDiegazo No because that's a live service. If a games online is bad it's bad servers then you blame Nintendo or whoever the company it is for having each of their games use their old servers. If a game was judged only by online then any Nintendo online game should be rated poorly.

    @NintendoAmerica Ban them tryhards and skilled players off of Mario strikers battle league for trolling, harassment and bullying casual players by saying skill issues

  • kaminskaya 🐬 (@kaminskaya) reported

    @NaomiFermin3 @LogitechG I got it to use with my Nintendo switch and yes it DOES NOT WORK. Being dealing with it and their cs for days now, countless trouble shootings and still no luck even tho it connects to my iPhone with no problem as well. I’m honestly so disappointed like wtf

  • PrinceThunder59 Prince Thunderflare (@PrinceThunder59) reported

    @MischiefsYT Sony fanboys have to delude themselves to believe Sony is anything but a garbage company compared to garbage companies. My go to comparison to that tire fire is the Skyward Sword remake, because Nintendo actually tried to fix every issue with the gameplay.

  • ThatOneHollow Dude (@ThatOneHollow) reported

    @GRAPEYafterDARK @AStupidJerk Really nice looking pin, kinda curious though how does this kind of stuff work with it being a Pokémon? Any issues with Nintendo to worry about or it all good?

  • TheRealEnate JRPG Enate (@TheRealEnate) reported

    @PhantomChampi0n @Mirage_4574 @PlayStation I'm playing Xenoblade 3 right now so trust me I hear ya. The problem isn't right now but how future Japanese games move on the PlayStation platform. If things keep going the way they are going an PC keeps getting everything I may be a PC/Nintendo player only in the future.

  • tj_mackey432 James aka That Tony Scott Guy (@tj_mackey432) reported

    @Gingerdome81 @alleywaykrew I was subscribed to Nintendo Power for about 10 years and only randomly bought issues of Gamepro and EGM.

  • rahjeetherager Eastside Rage (@rahjeetherager) reported

    @Main_Valkyrie_ What Metacritic should do is try to work out a deal with XB, PS, Steam and Nintendo so they could have users link their video game accounts and have an algorithm to check their achievements/ trophies to see if they own it. That way review bombing wouldn't be an issue.

  • KombatTimePod Kombat Time Podcast (@KombatTimePod) reported

    For me, it was all three? I had the most Nintendo Power issues of course, but EGM was my favorite. GamePro was what I took to the bathroom, haha. - Josh

  • TabbyWritess TabbyF (@TabbyWritess) reported

    @Connor_Gaming00 @JonComms To be fair, this is more of an industry problem than a Sony problem. At this point the only 1st party consistently putting out child friendly games is Nintendo. 3rd parties do it a lot less these days too.

  • LSakura154 🏳️‍⚧️LunaSakura154🏳️‍⚧️ | RE-DEBUT COMING SOON!! (@LSakura154) reported

    @sensitive_salt @ThatSrb2DUDE @NintendoAmerica To be fair as long as you know the password to your Nintendo account that wouldn’t be much of an issue

  • PrincessLilMomo Emiko Nikki (@PrincessLilMomo) reported

    Can I get a rip in the comments for my Nintendo switch? Recently sold it due to personal issues.. was a good switch gonna miss the boyk ;_;

  • BlueDragonKaise BlueDragonKaiser (@BlueDragonKaise) reported

    @Lizardlogan_TWO He literally says in the video that he noticed the lag during Ultimate's Nintendo Treehouse presentation and had reported it to them. He has nothing to do with NSO.

  • KazuichiSouda8 Kazuichi Souda 🌹 Anti-ML Arc (@KazuichiSouda8) reported

    @Flowers1nSpace @Cedrik1699 A ton of people tried pre-ordering XC3's special edition (the one with the concept art book and metal case and ****) and Nintendo's failsafe when you can't connect to the site is just pop up a wario pic and "Oops" with the usual error codes and such.

  • NintendoShame Nintendo Shame (@NintendoShame) reported

    It's been 411 days since the last game was added to the Nintendo Switch Online service

  • ArtStalker999 ArtStalker99 (@ArtStalker999) reported

    @SportsballJ @TheFantasticIan The fact that Nintendo was obliged to fix them for free is just proof that they are a faulty product wdym

  • DUltra69 DragonUltra69 (@DUltra69) reported

    @TAM3600 thanks to Nintendo bringing drm to the switch shits gonna crash before sonic has the ability to boost running at 10fps

  • NathanHarper123 Nathan Harper (@NathanHarper123) reported

    @jrock3188 @DanteBiasatti @davidscottjaffe They were for Nintendo and they sold really well. I remember buying Final Fantasy 3 for SNES for 99$ brand new in the store lol Price wasn't an issue back then it's only used for console wars these days.

    nintendo wii broken

  • kumimono Jari Heiska 🇫🇮 (@kumimono) reported

    @toonstyle1981 Oof. Cheapest N64 game is still more expensive than anything on the PS. I think Nintendo might have made an error by sticking to cartridges...

  • BlackStorm97 Black Storm (@BlackStorm97) reported

    @Fawfulthgreat64 @6amerBr0 @mariokarttourEN who knows maybe Nintendo is having that same issue with the RPG characters

  • Mirage_4574 Mirage (@Mirage_4574) reported

    @PlasmidSouls Nintendo fans who had no interest in TLOU to begin with were attacking the game for weeks but when people started saying some of the Xenoblade games were meh they lost their mind. See this issue with JRPG only gamers too. It’s not your thing to begin with why care?

  • Noobstoise 🎃Tony Foster🎃 (@Noobstoise) reported

    @Iggy67392 @NintendoAmerica I doubt they'll take the servers down until the switch is no longer relevant. Splatoon 1 still has players and the Wii U had a much smaller user base.

  • matthewhenzel VideoGameObssession (@matthewhenzel) reported

    @tigheklory @stupedgamer85 Hey, if they have the means, disposable income, and it makes them happy, why not? There's worse things which people can spend their money on. Original Nintendo FCN issues are undeniably a better investment then NFTs/BiTCoin. It's also an important part of Nintendo's history.

  • saint_necro 𝖄𝕬𝕸𝕬 (@saint_necro) reported

    and you KNOW its really Sony creating artificial exclusivity because somehow, every other company suffering supply chain issues like Nintendo and Microsoft have magically managed to continue production consistently at this point. Why is this a problem unique to Sony???

  • S_Poffington Spoffington (@S_Poffington) reported

    @NintendoUK I've been attempting to book a repair for a few joy cons for a couple days now and your website still states that you are experiencing technical issues when I try to book the repair. Can I please get an update on when you expect we may be able to book again?

  • ManekiVtuber ManekiVT | Mental Arc. (@ManekiVtuber) reported

    3/? I demand that they look into the issue, and asked them what the heck i was to do then. They told me to contact their online support. I go home, call the number wait in 30 min queue, no answer. So i try their ****** "online chat bot" that tells me to contact nintendo..
