  • ls4290 Barry (@ls4290) reported

    @king_goomba @NintendoAmerica Never happening. Nintendo is a greedy corporation just like any other. Why would they let you pay once and keep your games when they could instead tie them to a service you have to keep paying for and milk as much money out of you as they can?

  • Basile_Zilba Zilba (@Basile_Zilba) reported

    @RyGoesPOP I'd say characters like crash for instance have an even bigger likelihood of joining the next smash since Microsoft already established their willingness to let Nintendo use their characters.

  • Innthacut Joe Smhoe (@Innthacut) reported

    @BrokenGamezHDR_ @BenjiSales I mean I have a PS5. If anyone truly wants a PS5, they would have one by now. But either way, thats a Playstation problem. Xbox and Nintendo going through the same chip shortage and they figuring it out. Tell Sony to figure it out.

  • CosmoJames CosmoJames (@CosmoJames) reported

    @ReasonEddie @DimitriMonroeZ It's because NOJ would let the Nintendo Ninjas loose if problems started happing. Lol

  • AtarashiColyn Atarashi Kami le 30/03/2022 (@AtarashiColyn) reported

    @zemc07 @NintendoAmerica No, I don’t find any reason for this service to be that ****** in 2022.

  • Zero_Chilling ZeroChill (@Zero_Chilling) reported

    @AboutNintendo @Collcroc123 The sad thing is that every platform's main controllers nowadays suffer from drift issues like the Joycons... meaning it's no longer a Nintendo-only issue

  • kstarpr KStarPR (@kstarpr) reported

    @AboutNintendo You have to keep in mind that Xbox isn't as big in Japan, where the other two come from. Also the "console wars" between Xbox & PS cause a lot of angry fighting. Nintendo has a lot of problems but many core fans look past that.

  • LoliBambi Rant (@LoliBambi) reported

    Splatoon 2 really ******* sucks. But I don’t know if Nintendo can do anything. Cause it’s not a video game issue it’s more of the people playing it. Still lots of hacking or just idling waiting for matches to end.

  • Ki67100606 Ki utft (@Ki67100606) reported

    @patto1878 I had a problem with an older 720p television and a Nintendo switch. The problem was the switch was forcing 1080p but the telly didn't support it so there was weird flickering. I don't know anything about the new xbox but if your tv is 1080p try and lock the console to that.

  • USMCMohammad Devil Dog🇺🇸🇺🇸 (@USMCMohammad) reported

    @TheDomino @CNBC Charles Schwab Software Sucks! Its like a 1950s spreadsheet. Ameritrade is like a 1990s Nintendo Game. FREEZE LAG FROZEN

  • TrollWarLorddd TrollWarLorddd (@TrollWarLorddd) reported

    @PiyushGoyal Please bring Nintendo to India.They have a large fan base here in India and we have good relations with Japan.All Nintendo products are currently imported from China, we don't even have Nintendo service centre in India.

  • king_goomba goomba (@king_goomba) reported

    @NintendoAmerica Ressurect virtual console service, we want buy the 64 games!

  • Luca_Pac Luca Lempi (@Luca_Pac) reported

    @NormallyNormal7 @NintendoAmerica They have fixed several problems on other N64 games, they could work more on the online experience too since they ask a lot of money for it

  • geoffEXE Geoff64 🔜 PAX East (@geoffEXE) reported

    @AtarashiColyn @NintendoAmerica You actually have mental problems

  • thechurroman27 Joshua Rodriguez (@thechurroman27) reported

    @appled_apples @NintendoAmerica Yeah but it just masks the issues that I stated. That’s y I won’t get this until they make it an insanely great value. It’s bothersome that the base online is 20$ yet offers no good online features, and then the 1 thing that could’ve made it at least a bit better is 35$ extra

  • thechurroman27 Joshua Rodriguez (@thechurroman27) reported

    @ElliottNieves @appled_apples @NintendoAmerica I currently do that with my current base membership. And money really isn’t the issue for me, its just moreso stating a message. I don’t wanna continue to support a lackluster service but I need it for online so the least I can do is not buy the expansion

  • etterkopp Olivia Toilets (@etterkopp) reported

    @WhereDidJennyGo Also a big problem in games as well. Wish I could recall the source, but it was interviewers talking to prospective hires who seemingly had no favorite animators, authors, directors, what-have-you. I think Nintendo specifically hires non-gamer devs to prevent this.

  • mare_oie_noeud Begg (@mare_oie_noeud) reported

    @HeavensHero If only Nintendo released the game directly with online play... A lot of people would still play that game but unfortunately it's not the case anymore. The game is still fun to this day tho, sometimes I login to play a little bit

  • dakarai_green Goweegee#1 (@dakarai_green) reported

    @NintendoUK If you can fix us not getting hit in the middle of a combo then were set also stop uploading more trailers I don't wanna spoil myself

  • Evil_Trapezium Evil Trapezium (@Evil_Trapezium) reported

    @32DaCrow @Hylianhero777 @NintendoAmerica WHAT?! He's complaining about an issue that needs to be sorted out instead of being happy with whatever quality Nintendo leaves him with in their $50 premium service?

  • zemc07 Zeca 🚩 (@zemc07) reported

    @AtarashiColyn @NintendoAmerica Just don’t buy the ****** service. It’s entirely up to you

  • AtarashiColyn Atarashi Kami le 30/03/2022 (@AtarashiColyn) reported

    @geoffEXE @NintendoAmerica I would if the service released in 2006. Get laid by some other hoes instead of dlixir pumping nintendo

  • LionRGC Lion (@LionRGC) reported

    @NintendoAmerica Fix the controls. This game was calibrated to the real N64 controller. The Joycons and Pro controller are too sensitive, it makes it too hard to turn without losing grip.

  • MrMonkeyMan94 MrSpaceBoi (@MrMonkeyMan94) reported

    @DarkCloudVA @GamingBoy256 @NintendoAmerica Wake me up when we start getting 3 games on each system again and then I’ll stop complaining. SEGA Genesis literally got one extra game since it came out. That was last year. See my problem?

  • iamerror13 I am Error 13(what are Comissions?) (@iamerror13) reported

    @NintendoAmerica Once you fix your servers so they won't lag on watching friends and helping them on the games

  • atharvpareek22 Atharv Pareek (@atharvpareek22) reported

    @dbrand can I please get a Nintendo switch my family promised me the switch but due to some issues I couldn't get one please can I have it

  • StrangeKeith Anime Strange | Black Lotus Dragon (@StrangeKeith) reported

    @srrydari Oooooh. You gotta convert to video in game then in-game there’s a “post” option so do that and it uploads to YouTube. Then go on Nintendo Switch Online on your phone and sign in and you’ll be able to see your post. Then screen record from there

  • Rebirthing_End ⸺𝙀𝙫𝙚𝙡𝙮𝙣 𝙏𝙞𝙤𝙣𝙚 ( SOUL HACKERS 2 HYPE! ) (@Rebirthing_End) reported

    ☕ NINTENDO. WHY IS THERE FRAMERATE DROPS ON F-ZERO X ON SWITCH. FIX YOUR EMULATION. PLEASE. THE N64 ORIGINAL COULD MAINTAIN 60 FPS EASILY, AND OTHER 64 EMULATORS CAN DO IT EASILY. aaaaaAAAAAAA NINTENDO, I S2G

  • thechurroman27 Joshua Rodriguez (@thechurroman27) reported

    @NintendoAmerica Maybe lower the expansion price first? And like maybe just add actual online features like voice chat, a party system, messaging system, and actual dedicated servers? Maybe then I’d consider an expansion pass that is somehow more than the online service itself

  • MrMonkeyMan94 MrSpaceBoi (@MrMonkeyMan94) reported

    @el_xu4n @NintendoAmerica On Nintendo’s online service? No thanks.
