    @BlandrewYT The same arguement goes for Nintendo. Y’all were had no issue paying $69.99 for a controller that should have been bundled with the console. You guys have no issues paying for a lackluster online service, you guys have no issue paying $60 for 5 year old games.

  • WatermeloNinja Ian (@WatermeloNinja) reported

    @Cptn_Alex AC:NH is basically just unfinished. I hate the current trend with games now where it's "release unfinished, fix over the course of the next year or two." There's so much missing in New Horizons that was in the base game of New Leaf (Nintendo items, The Roost, Gyroids, etc.)

  • Northern1306 Gail (@Northern1306) reported

    Awful service from @NintendoUK .... Ordered a hoodie on the 8th December... Still not received by 19th Jan so cancelled... And now they haven't even issued the refund as promised in their email

  • Zestran94 Phil Rogers (@Zestran94) reported

    @THEREALRTU PS4 and Xbox One games have trouble being ported to Switch so I imagine PS5 and Series X games will be almost impossible. I think if Nintendo wants continued 3rd party support they'll have to release a Switch Pro or whatever

  • DemoKev97 Demolish🙃 (@DemoKev97) reported

    @PressStartKofi Like if it was nintendo increasing their prices to $70 then we have a problem. Because they're games barely go sale unlike the other publishers. So yeah games being $70 definitely SUCKS but at least them games are $50-$40 after a month or two. Don't buy one just wait 😌

  • haveyouseen01 HaveYouSeen (@haveyouseen01) reported

    @BilalPrinceAli @Mace_gamer @The_CrapGamer Again we have no verified digital data. NPD digital game sales tracking are used at certain authorized retailers and websites, and the Nintendo and Microsoft doesn’t use NPDs service. Do you actually know what you are saying?

  • Understandab1e_ Understandab1e (@Understandab1e_) reported

    @NintendoUpd8s Finally. The biggest issue of the Nintendo Switch's life has been fixed.

  • CCharmanderK Kevin the Disaster Nerd (@CCharmanderK) reported

    @theateremokid @ZFighterAmuro Iirc W101 was also a Nintendo joint project, and PG had to ask Nintendo's permission to bring it to other consoles with the remastered version. The difference here is that W101 bombed on Wii U, so Nintendo likely saw no issue in letting the IP go due to lack of potential on-

  • luigrobinhood robin 🍎 is a rocket apologist (@luigrobinhood) reported

    @opossumteeth_ @NintendoAmerica FIX THIS

  • hobart_tm Hobart (@hobart_tm) reported

    I honestly wouldn’t want subspace back with that gameplay. It had some fantastic fan service and great moments in cutscenes and bosses but godamn half the time it was just a very slow platformer with Nintendo faces slapped on to it

  • grasspond_ maya ⋆˙⊹ (@grasspond_) reported

    ppl complain about the game being unfinished, but then when nintendo brings things from old games back it’s a problem, lmao. i’m not saying anything else, but 🤡

  • stay_black16 StayBlack16 (@stay_black16) reported

    @DJK1NG_Gaming @BlandrewYT Brought yourself here by calling me cheap. If you have no issue paying $70 for a controller, do not complain about the upcoming $70 games coming to Nintendo. 😚

  • Ilwillexplode Coco Bueno (@Ilwillexplode) reported

    @DomConnor2 @NintendoUK Switch era Nintendo is a company at their most egregious, anti-consumer. Infact, downright contempt for the consumer. Faulty hardware they refused to acknowledge, limited time games, terrible online service, games that are 3 times the price as on ps4. **** nintendo at this point.

  • Michael67908066 Michael Richardson (@Michael67908066) reported

    @Blkcub87 @NintendoAmerica Yeah seems like a you problem. Just let one of their biggest sellers end that makes sense

  • richardfornoles Richard Fornoles (@richardfornoles) reported

    @Fighters_Gen One of Nintendo exclusive never got a chance to ported or remastered on other consoles. If that's possible. It will likely a Japan-exclusive due to licensing issues in West. No hard feelings but, this how license works internationally.

  • murilo_1303 𝚖𝚞𝚛𝚒𝚕𝚘🌫️ (@murilo_1303) reported

    @f0x_crossing @ColourPopCo @NintendoAmerica no problem!

  • ElusiveNerd ElusiveNerd (Monstrosity) (@ElusiveNerd) reported

    @TheSquishyOne1 @NintendoAmerica @Pokemon not to mention they fact of all the glitch's in the game that are actually bad and dont care to fix it lol Like all the day skippers out there to force shiny pokemon. this is a major problem yet they dont care to fix it

  • denea_neel lady malign (@denea_neel) reported

    @Johnnyboy_63 @animalcrossing Nobody has forgotten that. But when the game is boring people desperately want more content and sorry a once a year festival that doesn’t even give new recipes to decorate with isn’t going to cut it. There should be no issue pushing out new content, Nintendo is simply being lazy.

  • iamjohnporter67 John Smith (@iamjohnporter67) reported

    @JuanFelipeBR73 @animalcrossing Look the problem isn't the events or updates. Its how Nintendo has left them out and slowly but surely adding them into the game. Not to mention how they are not really improving the game as much. With the lack of new features and new content the game feels more boring and stale.

  • megatronzelda Megatron💋 (@megatronzelda) reported

    @FortniteGame can someone message me about a fortnite crew issue I am having? I purchased it for Nintendo switch. It charged my card, but hasn't gave it to me in game yet

  • skyreaper69420 Skyreaper (@skyreaper69420) reported

    @masterduffus @NintendoAmerica mario 35 has the same problem i wouldn't even care if they put gacha elements in it to make money from it, it seems pointless to remove a game that has possible profit

  • Seumas757 James (@Seumas757) reported

    @NintendoAmerica @animalcrossing Please fix the game before you add these events that are just boring versions of the ones in New leaf

  • patricknotirl patrick (@patricknotirl) reported

    nintendo wii broken

  • cowacola 0 (@cowacola) reported

    nintendo button layout is so confusing... I mean historically it makes sense but my brain just can't register the x button accordingly it doesn't represent x as in x axis like on xbox nor as in "x marks the spot" on playstation. this button is the goddamn problem lmao

  • lokizarro Loki (@lokizarro) reported

    @OhNoItsAlexx But Alex, you're a hypocrite because you like Nintendo and not Epic Games Store, because those two issues are exactly the same. (That strawman will be here in serious form any minute)

  • richardfornoles Richard Fornoles (@richardfornoles) reported

    secured by Nintendo's simple DRM. By updating the game's version and linking your Nintendo Account for separate cloud storage in case of console problems. This also makes the internet-based items are time locked until the exact date of said event.

  • DemoKev97 Demolish🙃 (@DemoKev97) reported

    @BlandrewYT It's the same with nintendo as well and y'all nintendo fans stay quiet. Paying $70 for games is definitely a problem if it's the likes of EA, Activision or Ubisoft where they put a bunch of mtx in they're games all the time. But most of PS games dont so it's not really a problem

  • arcticstigma ❄️🎐Arctic the Snow Doodle Noodle 🎐❄️🌨️ (@arcticstigma) reported

    @TheBlueIsIn123 @PoorlyAgedStuff The error they made was being too poor for Nintendo to profit on the lawsuit.

  • kunaiss ً (@kunaiss) reported

    @GT_ICON Nintendo does a whole lot of bs yet people still support them. Sony does the most minuscule thing and it’s a problem.

  • melanie_peel Melanie Peel (@melanie_peel) reported

    @JohnLewisRetail can you please provide a customer service number for Nintendo? JL c/s say that my warranty for the switch I purchased in November is with them, not you. I was unable to note the number on chat on Saturday as the whole thing crashed when I tried to save it.
