    @DetectiveGrumpy I'm not able to stream often due to computer issues but I'm 31 and do like to stream usually Nintendo stuff.

  • KingBobert21 Boo (@KingBobert21) reported

    I hate to crush people’s dreams cuz crazy picks are always a possibility but people never seem to learn their lesson when it comes to smash reveals People keep asking for people like rayman or crash and Nintendo’s like “haha sephiroph and terry go brrrr”

  • nikochanr3 niko (@nikochanr3) reported

    @playasia HPlayasia sold me a used eshop code. They are fighting me to the death but the first person who talked to me made the mistake of calling it an error, which they said needs to be refunded. Nintendo says it was used. Don't order from there.

  • TheOwenBrody Owen Brody (@TheOwenBrody) reported

    @BATatum1159 @NintendoAmerica There were some, uh, “development” issues. There were things that were in short supply that wouldn’t give Switch owners the, uh, smoothest experience.

  • PepsiOffline Pepsi (@PepsiOffline) reported

    @IOnlyDropRisky I've had my switch since 2017 and sometimes it overheats time to time. Also Nintendo doesn't consider Joycon Drift a problem so they just do free Joycon repairs which doesn't fix ****.

  • wrathofwr8th PK (@wrathofwr8th) reported

    @NintendoAmerica I hope you have enough of those god damn mario pins available because if they aren't im gonna flip ******** out! that God damn website better not crash either!!!!

  • KillzzXx A-MED👻 (@KillzzXx) reported

    Good morning everyone and dealing with internet issues again ugh, this snow storm really annoying. Hope it comes back on before the Nintendo Direct starts, not really a fan of watching it on my phone. But yeah hope everyone been doing okay with this snow storm.

  • KingBobert21 Boo (@KingBobert21) reported

    I mean rayman and crash are far from impossible, I just see them as less likely because Nintendo keeps throwing curveballs. And then when we do get characters that people actually vocally asked for like steve, they seem to be revealed like the minute all hope is lost on them

  • TheTyton Titus (@TheTyton) reported

    @antdude92 I'm guessing Crash in Smash and at least SOME Zelda news.... Hopefully a new Kirby game - I really want a 3D Kirby game really bad Sonic. Something New OR Adventure 1 and 2 Remakes/Ports CHRONO TRIGGER and EARTHBOUND on Nintendo Online

  • MeruSensei Meru / メル (@MeruSensei) reported

    Hoping for a Ring Fit Update today Negative hype for Smash. Prediction: a char reveal. Y'all gonna hype it for 2 weeks then move on and complain cus Nintendo could add a Teletubby to Smash and still make them ultra toxic. Useless patch notes, major problems (NETCODE) unaddressed

  • BabyDan67148992 Baby Daniel (@BabyDan67148992) reported

    @Napolisaur @NintendoUK The games already released on their online service like nearly a week ago.

  • Just_A_ShyGuy Bouff (@Just_A_ShyGuy) reported

    Today I've learned that I am a junkie, Nintendo is my dealer and Zelda is my fix... well, that's how it feel since yesterday.

  • carrotcrow13 Alex Wayne (@carrotcrow13) reported

    @pcgamer Very rare issue for me on Sony in general. More worried about my Switch. I'd rather it just happens and get I over with so I can get my replacement before Nintendo pulls some shady stuff.

  • ArtsHollow Hollow Hermit (@ArtsHollow) reported

    @St0rmiKat @CureSaul02 @NintendoAmerica there are multiple spelling and grammar errors lmao, it's pretty much all but guaranteed it's not real

  • KingGarYT KingGar (@KingGarYT) reported

    @NintendoAmerica Bandana Waddle Dee for smash, it most likely going to be crash though

  • dopekjoda Jody ✨ (@dopekjoda) reported

    @darkravenseven I can't believe it. Is this what Nintendo thinks of their fans? well this is what I think of Nintendo!! *insert pic of broken Switch*

  • jestingwheat856 Jestingwheat856 (@jestingwheat856) reported

    @SickinatorD @bandicootpage @NintendoAmerica Hes just a big rat ho eats mangoes and spins There are so many better reps for sony and wayyyyyy more better choices in general (but i would happily take crash over geno at least)

  • SayYesToDepress Mr.Meme🏳️‍🌈 #bIm (@SayYesToDepress) reported

    Nintendo put N64 games on NSO and fix OOT's pausing problem challenge

  • MasonAnimator MasonTheAnimator (@MasonAnimator) reported

    I have a feeling that in the Nintendo Direct today that they will being talking about the Crash 4 port then say "Speaking of Crash..." then he joins Smash Ultimate. Would kind of ruin the surprise of who it will be when the trailer intro comes in. Still hoping for Crash though.

  • Kazvto_ A weeb for fun. (@Kazvto_) reported

    Nintendo Direct today? I heard #SmashBrosUltimate is going to be apart of it?? Character announcement maybe? I'd say #Sora4Smash but watch it be Crash.

  • SSJSpeedRacer It's Luke! (@SSJSpeedRacer) reported

    I've heard multiple times now "boy bowser's fury chugs a little in a way that nintendo games never do, we sure seem due for a switch pro!!" Zelda, literally the first game released on switch, had a bunch of frame rate issues C'mon now
