    @trzef Seeing that type of stuff on YouTube is so frustrating. I like to go out and see if I can find good deals on games but people like them make it actively hard to get ahold of any game you might want physically. Even stuff like Nintendo power issues aren’t safe.

    @TheEggman64 Emulation =/= piracy This is still emulation, just directly through Nintendo's service. It's just better to only say that you're not interested in pirating. No need to mention emulating, since you're already doing that.

    Juwt to be clear, I'm saying this because I'm totally sure that there will be reviewers saying that this is a "commercial from Nintendo" or "the fan service destroyed this movie"

  • iinsanity_____ _____evie (weirdo) (@iinsanity_____) reported

    @CookieCloudss Nintendo would never get me in trouble

  • RainingKhaos Dakota (Helios Solheart) (@RainingKhaos) reported

    @delmontyb The problem I have is mainly with Nintendo specifically. They tend to think their games appreciate like a house. So if something is at $70, its never coming down. But, I rarely buy games at a $60 value anymore. I wait for sales bcuz the market is too saturated to buy games at $60

  • strubbergGaming Omega Zone Gaming (@strubbergGaming) reported

    The second reason is somebody has to play school teacher. Remember the great gaming crash that happened because people were throwing any b******* onto an Atari system. Nintendo handled it and there early days with the seal of approval

  • pepperonitonyTF eli (@pepperonitonyTF) reported

    @Bad_Rats_King the y type is actually bullshit cus me from 3 years ago stripped a screw on my ******* nintendo switch when trying to fix it because i had no eyes and now its fuked up

  • bikerman0000 Bikerman (@bikerman0000) reported

    @ProChara @BeastMode4TM That being said, I honestly believe Nintendo should fix the already existing maps before adding new ones.

  • iBazly Barry M (@iBazly) reported

    -child labour. But it's a lot less clear who was responsible, there are people within Nintendo who advocate for change, and there are attempts to apologize and remedy when these problems come up (even if they aren't always satisfactory, if we want to discuss Nintendo's-

  • Elementalisman Jack Witty (@Elementalisman) reported

    @LordChiguire @SuperRADLemon Trouble there is, all three different Xeno are published by different companies. Square still has the rights to Gears, Namco Bandai has Saga, and Nintendo who owns Monolith now has Blade. And Square is stupid as hell about remaking games we actually want tbqh

  • WelchyTV_ WelchyTV (@WelchyTV_) reported

    I don’t subscribe to Nintendo Switch online, but if they announce the Gameboy Pokémon games for the service then I will throw money at them! 🤞🏻

  • MatchaMellowttv MatchaMellow (@MatchaMellowttv) reported

    My continued Nintendo switch saga: I found my games... but now my switch will not connect to the internet no matter what I do. Currently formatting the whole system in hopes that I can fix it 😭

  • cashewgames1 Cam (@cashewgames1) reported

    @charcoalcharizd @Peyton02460675 Amazon, Best Buy, and GameStop all had the same error then. Maybe Nintendo initially planned for the 13, but then decided on the 22nd instead. Maybe the stores will sell it once they receive it which could be before the 22

  • The_Vboy Vboy (@The_Vboy) reported

    @reaver_troll @Noir19841 @Chris_Dring Superior bankroll? They didn't buy any big publishers, even their major IPs like Crash Bandicoot wasn't theirs. They simply did better than SEGA, and Nintendo was also doing dine on their own terms and is still strong today, without acquiring a major publisher!

  • Jared_BC2 Jared/Peter (18) (@Jared_BC2) reported

    Not to mention my Lite (Which I litterally got to fix the issue of not having a portable Switch) has a very mild clicking sound on the ZR button I have a pro controller for my main Switch thankfully, but it still sucks to see how easily broken Nintendo hardware is

  • Firebreather452 Firebreather451 (@Firebreather452) reported

    @TWTHEREDDRAGON We don't want gamepass. Nobody asked for a game subscription service, we want to buy and own our games. Not some glorified rental service. Gamepass is cool for old games, give them a second life kinda thing. @Xbox @Microsoft nintendo and sony do it just right

  • nellucnhoj John Cullen (@nellucnhoj) reported

    Are there any decent third party alternatives to the Joy-Cons? Mine are suffering from the dreaded drift issue, and there is no way I'm paying the Nintendo tax for another pair.

  • The_CrapGamer The Crapgamer Hi-Fi Rushing (@The_CrapGamer) reported

    @Dasmesee1 @AShortyfei They're already at over 30 million for Game Pass. A completely different service than PS+ or Nintendo. They have the best seller Xbox ever right now!

  • PoliticalGamer PoliticalGamer (@PoliticalGamer) reported

    With even Nintendo hopping onto the $70 train with #ZeldaTearsOfTheKingdom, I have to reiterate: I would not have that much of a problem with it if that's the only price-tag attached. But it won't. Like Breath of the Wild, there's going to be a season pass. So I don't like it

  • CookieCloudss Cookie ☁️ (@CookieCloudss) reported

    @iinsanity_____ Don’t get in trouble with Nintendo 😭

  • curiousquail cohost.org/curiousquail (@curiousquail) reported

    the biggest mistake nintendo made in regards to the 1993 Mario movie was not releasing a 'Mario The Movie The Game'; let's hope that after 30 years they've learned the error of their ways

  • HelloImLuigi1 Hello I'm Luigi (@HelloImLuigi1) reported

    @SplatoonNA Remember, kids, there is no financial reason why Nintendo would rig the splatfest, so stop saying splatfest are rigged. Say that there was prob a glitch in the system knowing Nintendos online

  • RobSmithson6 Rob Smithson (@RobSmithson6) reported

    Hey, @NintendoAmerica—why aren’t the original Metroid devs credited on the remaster? Fix this.

  • jermaineatl Jermaineatl (@jermaineatl) reported

    @GrumpyBonesCos @PointCrow When we've seen more of the Mario movie than totk that's a problem. Arlo even agrees at the beginning of the video that he wants to understand more of the game and that's the problem that Nintendo hasn't provided that information.

    Reason 2. Quality control remember the great video game crash the over saturation of games onto the market primarily aimed towards Atari. That would most likely happen again. Nintendo in the day handled it with the seal of approval.

  • eriponderful777 nele ⛳️🎀💚 (@eriponderful777) reported

    I thought my life problems were fixed when the switch enabled bluetooth audio connection. but now I’m here with wireless audio devices and not able to use them with my nintendo 3DS.

    @Cryptic_TX55 @LuigiBlood Even as somebody who likes VC and would want at least something like that to be an option, I do wholeheartedly agree with that sentiment especially with the bank for your buck that you get with the service now in 2023 by having many high quality Nintendo games all in one service.
