    @RSPN_Hideouts Im glad the fix is coming tysm for the hard work. I hoping that you & the devs will take a look into other platforms being able to glitch & play in Nintendo Switch only lobbies on Tokyo. Its hard to enjoy the game casually & have fun in ranked when pc & players abuse the glitch🙏

  • KungFuMan316 Kung Fu Man (@KungFuMan316) reported

    Imagine a situation where Nintendo says "We can't release this game on the eShop, because it would hurt the secondary market if we re-released it in this form." That's the problem with Magic the Gathering's reserve list.

  • epicanime009 Epic, Incarnation of Victory (@epicanime009) reported

    @Helptendo @super_red56 @NintendoAmerica It's the same issue in that i just said i didnt want to pay extra just for one game., especially not a whole console.

  • jmanesports Jmanesportshypeman (@jmanesports) reported

    @NintendoAmerica The fact that they didn’t launch the service with this game is baffling

  • MetroidFREAK21 Corey Cooper (@MetroidFREAK21) reported

    @TFS0ul @NintendoAmerica Won't be paying for the service, but I hope those that are enjoy the game. Especially for first time players

  • Mid_GeekCrisis Mid-Geek Crisis (Joe) (@Mid_GeekCrisis) reported

    @RoguePCustoms @shawk670 @Yoei_RetroCOOL Also, they let smaller makers do all the trial and error then when done they contact said factory in china and copy the mold. Again, this has happened multiple times. Yes it’s owned by Nintendo..but then we would have ANY of these shells made

  • Monadospower14 Ya Boi Shulk (@Monadospower14) reported

    @ActualAero $110 for the whole game experience really doesn't sound pleasant, I know a lot of people might drop Nintendo if that happens. Then imagine if the keep NSO as a paid service, and increase its price as well. I can just imagine the outrage

  • softiepillows Wulandari 🏳️‍⚧️ (@softiepillows) reported

    @Dgok17 i still don't understand why nintendo do all of the work for the 64dd when the main issue they had is that they stuck with carts ahhdehhf

  • 2manylukes 3ManyLukes (@2manylukes) reported

    @BayesicMK8 Nintendo got a bunch of tracks they gotta fix. Bsr looks awful

  • thefinaIwitness l'aiha | y'shtola apologist (@thefinaIwitness) reported

    like. the boom in players since shb, and the necessary expansion of events like fanfest in turn, seems like one of the things they actually COULD fix instantly with money. so... why is it such a scarcity fight? lack of foresight? the nintendo "fake scarcity" stunt? they keep

  • DalanelTweets Dante Nelson (@DalanelTweets) reported

    1. Xbox, after the acquisition, would still be behind Sony in the gaming industry. And Tencent too. Like, this wouldn't even make Xbox the leader! 2. If the "competition" (like Nintendo and Steam) are cool with how Microsoft is handling things, then what's the problem?

  • HouraizanKagu Houraizan (@HouraizanKagu) reported

    @NintendoAmerica lmao, tendies are hyped that Nintendo are drip feeding them ROMs one at a time for PREMIUM SERVICE that they could be playing literally right now on better devices

  • epicanime009 Epic, Incarnation of Victory (@epicanime009) reported

    @super_red56 @NintendoAmerica same issue

  • knapplebees Harry (@knapplebees) reported

    @NintendoAmerica This service rocks so much and I can't wait for this to drop... too bad the whole NSO library will be gone when it's discontinued in ~7 years

  • yoloswagfish67 Matthew Cline (@yoloswagfish67) reported

    @Sammie_cutest @JuniorReyes17 @charlieINTEL You use the term bullying. Im not sure you understand what it is. Sony is the only company besides Nintendo being exclusive. Microsoft is trying to be inclusive for everyone. Sony is the issue here. Why cry about inclusion for everyone? Please explain and don’t cry bully

  • KenRaves You crackers would break apart in the Belt (@KenRaves) reported

    @NintendoAmerica Would love to be able to purchase this standalone so I don't need like a service thing going on to be able to play it!!

  • Zakaarus Zakaarus 🐉😵‍💫 horn E (@Zakaarus) reported

    @BadInkversePost id rather they fix brellas first than get a good kit or even direct main weapon buffs at this point all 3 at the same time is ideal but nintendo

  • thisisspike Josué (@thisisspike) reported

    @YaibaniS @KaijuVGC @PokemonUnite lmao Gamefreak is the creator company of Pokémon, not Nintendo. They can't fire themselves. Also Gamefreak never apologized about the bugs on the game, just Nintendo. Because they (Nintendo) decided not to give the GameFreak team more time and put out a broken game bc of money.

  • Zamandius Zamandius (@Zamandius) reported

    @NintendoAmerica @Pokemon Why are Tera Raids SOOOO BROKEN?! I just want the new Verizion. Was in a raid when suddenly half the time just vanished, then the energy beam was released about a second later. 🤬🤬🤬🤬

  • MetroidFREAK21 Corey Cooper (@MetroidFREAK21) reported

    @SuperSourMelon @NintendoAmerica I'm not paying for the additional service, but I'm excited for those who never have to get into it

  • Kirvyx kirvyx (@Kirvyx) reported

    @BottlesTheMole @yggdrasilsaltar @NintendoAmerica I guess But also we only have 6 If we had like 15 at launch, sure But man, sucks *** that, at best, we end the year with the gba service at 15 games, which is kinda sad for a service i pay more for

  • BrandonNwz BrandonNWZ (@BrandonNwz) reported

    @Drenttzaggett20 @NintendoAmerica Definitely also I want the Pokémon games on the service

  • Helptendo Kiyoshi 2 (@Helptendo) reported

    @epicanime009 @super_red56 @NintendoAmerica "same issue" its not the same issu if you wanna play a game you need the right console for it lol ? Its like saying I wanna play ratched and clank but no I will not buy a playstation >:( lmao

  • sullivans2004 sullivans2004 (@sullivans2004) reported

    @DoryaMaster Yeah fair enough. Agreed, Steve needs to be nerfed. And if Nintendo comes back to Smash Ultimate, imo, they should fix up the “low tier” characters. (Little Mac, Bowser Jr., Isabelle, all of those that struggle against the rest of the cast!!)

  • ToTaLlyInSanEfr blah blah blah (@ToTaLlyInSanEfr) reported

    @NintendoAmerica please fix the switch error for joining raids, my Pokemon are fine!!!! They are not the be paradox ones, I'm losing out of raids!!!

  • eduscxbox Eduardo Soares (@eduscxbox) reported

    @PaulTassi @Forbes I'm not sure how capable CMA board is to read an agreement. The deal was made with Nintendo, not the Switch specifically, and this includes next-generation consoles that might, and probably will be, more powerful. They trying to find a problem where there is none.

  • FFAJosh Josh Barnett (@FFAJosh) reported

    @Ruleof2Review This is such a hilariously bad take on two different levels. Not only is it terrible because it's supporting scalpers, but it's even more ridiculous that it's also justifying Nintendo's weird supply issues with its games. It's 2023, there's no reason we can't produce enough

  • CheeseFondueCEO ⛩️・AkiN・🍣 (@CheeseFondueCEO) reported

    I've been seeing a lot of extremely good players IN S RANK You can't tell me the rank drop thing isn't an issue Also I've heard that X rank sucks ***** now. There are so much things to fix and I hope Nintendo addresses these in the upcoming patch. 1/4

  • akiapapaya akiapapaya (@akiapapaya) reported

    I’ve been wanting to play little nightmares but not wanting to play the ps and use the little subscription service preston has bc I prefer to okay handheld, so I looked in the Nintendo eshop and BOTH WERE BUNDLED FOR $8????! For only 3 more days????! 🥹

  • DishonestMom May🌸 (@DishonestMom) reported

    Id hate to be working customer service at nintendo right now lmao
