    @supremecorvid wheres the one with the 11/10 fine quick ups? you know im a boomer with this tech ****, im the last millennial to not have anything but super nintendo and a broken scrap part gateway desktop growing up

  • Fenix_glacialis Nesser (@Fenix_glacialis) reported

    @Ganondoodles Some people need to urgently go outside and touch grass because if your edit triggered them, the problem is not you. Personally, I would have preferred if Nintendo had kept Ganondorf consistent with the rest of the Gerudo instead of going the "he's green because evil" route again

  • mrbasil_pesto Matthew Castle (@mrbasil_pesto) reported

    @matronboy Someone will probably reverse them and reveal they're saying "subscribe to Nintendo Switch Online family plan" and the spell will be broken.

  • Ruleof2Review Rob of the Kingdom (Ro2R) (@Ruleof2Review) reported

    @aweingartner13 @NintendoAmerica I bought it. Would’ve been so cool if they had sent it to me but I had no problem purchasing it to show my love for Samus.

    @aweingartner13 @NintendoAmerica I bought it. Would’ve been so cool if they had sent it to me but I had no problem purschasing it to show my love for Samus.

  • rcoleman92 Rebecca Coleman (@rcoleman92) reported

    @NintendoUK bought an e-gift card in a @Tesco store and it didn’t work. Both customer service teams telling me it’s nothing to do with them. Any chance you guys can help them decide who’s responsibility it is?

  • Claytoncyre Clayton Sterling (@Claytoncyre) reported

    @moscowvinny @JadeAtrophis Good point! I guess that's where superhero movies are going too based on the saturation. Also reminds me of the big video game crash that happened before Nintendo came along. People don't want to keep paying for garbage.

    @Horizon_Jumper @NintendoAmerica Sucks that a Mainline, Popular, New, Online service game get updates and cool things based on other events.

  • Cereamangus Cereamangus (@Cereamangus) reported

    @BryceWeir6 Fortnite want to ,the issue is Nintendo themselves and you fanboy of Nintendo don’t want to admit that

  • InuJoshua Joshua Jackson (@InuJoshua) reported

    @Horizon_Jumper @NintendoAmerica It’s pretty much a live service game. They’re whole existence is justified through constant content updates.

  • UnMistakableGG UM.GG - BrellaBuff (@UnMistakableGG) reported

    @Horizon_Jumper @NintendoAmerica Sucks that a Mainline, Popular, New, Online service game get up dates and cool things based on other events.

  • Utyranto Utyranto (@Utyranto) reported

    As much as I love SSBU as a game, the amount of online issues I've heard about gives me conniptions and I do hope that the more popular mods have much better netcode. And/or Nintendo tries to make it a more viable fighting game and have Rollback for once.

  • SamNX236 Spartan Sam (@SamNX236) reported

    @NerdPropellant @haveyouseen01 In 2022 Sony had God of War Ragnarok In 2022 Nintendo had Xenoblade 3 Of course delaying Starfield was miles better than releasing a broken mess, but games like Pentiment and As Dusk Falls are appetizers, not stuff to carry your whole year.

  • KCenvtuber Crim in Space 🕶️ (@KCenvtuber) reported

    @Maurici89730394 @adifying How could it not be the problem of the console that runs at half the performance of the rest? Its fine to like the switch and its games, but at least be honest. Nintendo really needs to stop lagging behind for the sake of gimmicks that will be out of date by the next gen.

  • PCisInferior PortBeggarDestroyer (@PCisInferior) reported

    @GH0ST1945 @phantom_kaiju Bad optimization is an inherit PC problem. You can't use it as a crutch constantly and then claim PC is superior lol. Enjoy your nintendo switch textures.

  • Marcusius1973 EB (@Marcusius1973) reported

    @DMC_Ryan @MilesDompier Well I am first a Nintendo fans However I am a 1st gen gamer who saw diversity and this issue bother me. I don't see a market without the Xbox brand. I really hope they get a grip over their issues.

  • CyberTranz Paul Couto (@CyberTranz) reported

    @tynerds37 @KinsellaNadine @Lbabinz Call Nintendo. I've had them reset my cart 3 times this year. Literally just got off the phone. It's a Canada issue, apparently. Anyway, Team Courage for me!

  • btrazzini Bruno Trazzini (@btrazzini) reported from Grande ABC, São Paulo

    @HAMSTER_Corp I am writing to express my disappointment with the quality of "Metal Slug X" for Nintendo Switch that I purchased. Unfortunately, the game is extremely slow and does not meet my expectations at all. I am not alone in experiencing this issue, as there have been other…

  • Sigilynk Rae Sigilynk @ please patch Sonic Origins (@Sigilynk) reported

    @Cure_Spicy youd think but apparently literally no one can replicate the glitch intentionally so no one knows what is causing it in the first place. not even Nintendo can figure out whats causing it which means they cant fix it either 😭

  • 1MagicK1 MagicK (@1MagicK1) reported

    @Andrewgspeedrun It remind me of Nintendo Power highscores, I don't remember which issue, but there was some score who didn't make any senses.

  • Wiggler11807635 Wiggler (@Wiggler11807635) reported

    @NintendoEurope @NintendoAmerica can u pls fix a bug in #MarioKart8Deluxe? The super horn can’t blast the blooper away! Pls can you fix this?

  • __inny_ Inny🍇 (@__inny_) reported

    Got a jail broken Nintendo DS card with over 500 games and now I’m living my 8 year old dream

  • eric_fortnight eric (@eric_fortnight) reported

    @FroggyTheMii @doofus_dr but that issue doesn’t start from nintendo itself

  • ponyy_spl Pony (@ponyy_spl) reported

    .@NintendoAmerica fix x rank. Making people *choose* a division based on region is one of the stupidest decisions ever made in this game. This is unacceptable. Fix your ****. If I see the message saying not enough players one more time I’m gonna lose my mind.

  • Demonpizzaidc 💀Raven the whatever idk🖤 (@Demonpizzaidc) reported

    @zayunderworld Idk ***** I don’t have the game plus the Nintendo switch my brother has is broken (I think???)

  • ccollison89 TheSuperGamer89 (@ccollison89) reported

    Ok @NintendoAmerica you need to fix the issue with these 7 star Terra raids cause I'm dealing with the game literally skipping my turn and then out of nowhere the raid is over. Plz fix this issue cause it's not fair.

  • mrfreshchicken Mrfreshchicken (@mrfreshchicken) reported

    @Xbox it has been a little over a year and we still haven’t received any new fps boost games I wouldn’t mind if you guys were drip feeding the patches just like how Nintendo does with their subscription service but you guys need to do better. This feature is a console killer

  • KCenvtuber Crim in Space 🕶️ (@KCenvtuber) reported

    @Kimberly_Edo @adifying Its okay to like something and still be honest about its faults. People have been complaining about how badly nintendo has been lagging behind since the original DS.
