  • Locke_PSB Bruce-atron (@Locke_PSB) reported

    Hey @NintendoAmerica I let my NSO subscription run out. I will give you my money when you fix the eshop. Thanks me.

  • patricknotirl patrick (@patricknotirl) reported

    nintendo wii broken

  • Flip5ide666 Ŧɭเק (@Flip5ide666) reported

    @markoftheD This might be my issue, out of actual choice I'd be playing Nintendo, watching documentary or a film maybe.

  • HD_Gamer_84 HD_Gamer_84 (@HD_Gamer_84) reported

    @SpreadEmPunk @avoblackfyre @ShawnLayden with Sony or Nintendo with the standard business model, at least not since the X360 They simply aren’t selling enough games or enough boxes. The change in focus to a subscription service makes perfect sense & is in line with the rest of their business with Windows etc 2)

  • KamenGamerRetro Kamengamerretro (@KamenGamerRetro) reported

    @BlizzyP039 @SinKion_PMU @NintendoAmerica yeah and when they go to try and fix it, people like you cry, so they honestly cant win. There will be nothing wrong with cycling Pokemon in and out depending on the games setting going forward, and you will have Pokemon home to store them all in.

  • LiberalTugboat Krak Head (@LiberalTugboat) reported

    @patrickklepek @duckvalentine Or happy that Nintendo didn't **** it up as a service game?

  • DialgaMarine WilliamTSherman (@DialgaMarine) reported

    @TAFKAB2 Honestly, they’re already there. Phil made it clear that they have no issues putting GamePass/ XCloud on PS and Nintendo. It’s just that Sony and Nintendo don’t want it. If they change their minds, Xbox goes third party in a heart beat.

  • DKPARODOX64 DemonAngel Gamer (@DKPARODOX64) reported

    @NintendoAmerica Ever since it's update came out I only can be online for like 10 to 15 minutes and then my Nintendo will automatically disconnect from the Wi-Fi when I have it on I auto connect so can somebody help me with that.

  • DeathByBJ Anderson (@DeathByBJ) reported

    @NintendoAmerica @NintendoNYC I could make it. I live in the city so this is no problem for me

  • Ceresbane Arturo Sanchez (@Ceresbane) reported

    @Griffindor23 @specialreserves apparently nintendo are now applying that cardboard fix (the principle fix not the exact solution) on their latest batches.

  • Context4Context Context For Context For Poorly Aged Things (@Context4Context) reported

    @AgedContext @PoorlyAgedStuff The main idea is just Nintendo now also has a subscription service like Xbox and PlayStation

  • SilverTheCatast LpMpLkHp (@SilverTheCatast) reported

    @dnakoka @Grizzly_Sigma @NintendoAmerica If it's not too much trouble, do you think you could link me to where a September Direct was announced?

  • powerofmido Mido (@powerofmido) reported

    @ChucklefishLTD, while playing #Eastward on Nintendo Switch (ver 1.0.4) I encountered a bug, I saved the game at the "Big" station and now the game doesn't start when I try to load any save files, it stays stuck on a black screen, is there a way to fix this? tysm

  • illmaTic_z Kev (@illmaTic_z) reported

    @Tesso_dan You either don’t notice it or not sensitive to it because you’re used to it. Even with perfect connection the minimum frames of input delay is 12 frames. It’s that bad & yeah, they’re not gonna fix it, it’s Nintendo we’re talking about lol

  • IkarukaEU Niels van der Ploeg (@IkarukaEU) reported

    @SIFTDgames @michaelpachter I don't understand why Mr.Pachter (who I love <3) thinks a Nintendo subscription service containing legacy content on mobile would be so succesful. Those games don't transfer well to a touch screen and Wii motion control games would be impossible./1

  • ItsSups ItsSups (@ItsSups) reported

    @NintendoAmerica I swear to god if the final smash DLC character isn't Crash, Spyro or Waluigi I'm literally gonna strangle someone #SmashBrosUltimate

  • N8Tube Nathan | N8Tube 🌊 (@N8Tube) reported

    Thank the lord its still under warranty, thank the lord for Nintendo repair service

  • etienne_mendoza ET Mendz (@etienne_mendoza) reported

    @MegaManMain @PoorlyAgedStuff Every era of Nintendo has its problems, if you take your nostalgia goggles off. Like third-parties hated collaborating with Nintendo back in the NES/SNES era or the Gamecube had a lot of games had less than 10 hours of content. That doesn't prevent criticism, tho.

  • Yahya_no_1 Yahya Osama yahya (@Yahya_no_1) reported

    @Kumnaa @GoogleStadia On launch only people who had the preorders done wa able to play. Anyone looking to buy the game from ingame or from eShop got an error message & could not buy the DLC on launch. Nintendo were jerks & delayed their update to fix the issue for 2 and half weeks until it went live

  • lamisscherrie CHERRYSIX - LAMISSCHERRIE ☢🍒 🇲🇽 (@lamisscherrie) reported

    @PoorlyAgedStuff Context: Nintendo released pay online service. And it's god awful.

  • Theyhateme973 Alejandro Matias (@Theyhateme973) reported

    @NBA2K I just like to know because I have a Nintendo switch now I had a problem last year with the rec , it takes up too much loading time in Nintendo switch can somebody please fix that's problem please.

  • CANADlANPSYCHO jas magnotta ❦ (@CANADlANPSYCHO) reported

    Nintendo do you like giving children anger issues?

  • PureVoidheart Pim (@PureVoidheart) reported

    @CartiMain God that sucks. Nintendo pls fix your damn controllers

  • patrickklepek Patrick Klepek (@patrickklepek) reported

    @duckvalentine Agreed! Remain sad Nintendo did not treat it as a service game :/

  • TheRavingTimes TheRavingTimes (@TheRavingTimes) reported

    @PoorlyAgedStuff Context - The successor to the Wii U; the Nintendo Switch charges fans for their online service which many consider terrible. Factor in the removal of the Virtual Console and fans are rightfully annoyed by these setbacks.

  • GamerofOzz The Backlogged Gamer (@GamerofOzz) reported

    @Raven15769 @RowdyCMoore No, the comics only had like 5 issues. A bunch of Nintendo comics around that time were like that. They were all printed by Valiant and didn't have very long runs.

  • NostalgiaNavy CJ 🧽 (@NostalgiaNavy) reported

    @BLINDINGSIDE @NintendoAmerica please it’s already there it drains from 100-1 in 4 minutes maximum, i think it’s just a display issue cause it runs on “1%” forever

  • Alcoholikaust The Drunk Cat™ (@Alcoholikaust) reported

    @ViewtifulCereza @BombosMedallion maybe. still needs to be announced tho. rumor is it’s a new controller for an unannounced system for the Nintendo Online service but seems strange

  • jeffmcnamee Jeff McNamee (@jeffmcnamee) reported

    @timeshade @BasedCorp @SeanTrende That might have been an issue absent a pandemic. I remember serious shortages of the Nintendo Wii Fit in 2008.

  • Eleven06 Black Lives Matter (@Eleven06) reported

    WWE must be in financial trouble, they sold the NXT brand to Nintendo. Splatoon crossover and DLC incoming.
