    Nintendo, deal with your ******* COMMUNATION ERROR ISSUE! Stop dancing around the ******* problem with these bullshit, "fixes". Your servers are broken and straight up dogshit!

  • wolfgirl2525 Casper the Enby Ghost ♿🏳️‍🌈♏ (@wolfgirl2525) reported

    Is the internet gunna bully nintendo to fix Mario like they did with Sonic?

  • KIDGoggles AGN K.I.D.Goggles (@KIDGoggles) reported

    @Cagt3000 This has been a problem for at least 15 years sadly. And without something on the scale of Nintendo paying everyone a lot of money to get on the same page, I think so it's unlikely to change

  • Emblemmaniac Isak Wolff (@Emblemmaniac) reported

    @LoganSKeefer @SpawnWaveMedia While I get what you're saying, no offense, but as someone who can watch both with no problem, I would rather have Nintendo make the adaptations in the best ways possible. Since they have explicitly stated that they are open to animated adaptations, it looks to be just that.

  • LifeOfFiction1 LifeOfFiction (@LifeOfFiction1) reported

    @gremuir Go to the Nintendo website, sign in, and add funds on there ,and merge it with your funds on your 3ds. That’s how I did it, was able to renew my pass.

  • LastationCPU Lady Black heart (@LastationCPU) reported

    @Staryfate_ the issue with it is it just isnt the genre of game to come with the tons of content nintendo fans are used to, that and nintendo dropped support for it very quickly, considering its competition, didnt stand much of a chance

  • 4everNblujeans SgtHulka (@4everNblujeans) reported

    @BoundingComics If Nintendo was happy with it and kids like the movie, I don't see an issue. I really wish the weirdies would lay off Pratt, and put the energy into finding a way out o the parent's basements.

  • VeganPower16 Vegan Power (@VeganPower16) reported

    @RealitiesCore @OrdinaryGamers Just having an emulator isn't an issue, actually emulating Nintendo IP is.

  • EccoModeGames EccoMode (@EccoModeGames) reported

    @SarahCl0316 It would be cool but Nintendo probably will shut down the service years later maybe. I always wanted a wonder swan console but it probably is hard for me to play most of the games since it's in Japanese

  • DacJoshFGC DacJosh (@DacJoshFGC) reported

    @kyle700 @riennezelda That’s a systemic problem though, you can’t blame Nintendo for that being an issue everywhere

  • twumblunni Bonnford (@twumblunni) reported

    There was also unfortunately an unexpected fandom ableism issue with that particular disaster. Cos Nintendo actually did a good thing by having a separate queue for disabled people, and then abled people were complaining they got "special treatment" ugh...

  • nyacinthie cynthie! ✿ (@nyacinthie) reported

    @HIGHMETRICEV0 if nintendo won't make disability-friendly options, the only thing to do is explore 3rd party options. if they have a problem with it, they should be more inclusive

  • Sleepless_loss ᴠᴇɴᴏᴍᴏᴜs||Venom||Ven||Veny (@Sleepless_loss) reported

    @PlayOverwatch Uhh so anyone help? My boyfriend plays on the switch and hes been playing for a long time on Nintendo switch ow1 and when he logged into ow2 its like he was new and apparently it never asked him to merge his account anyone know how to fix this? Or should he wait till ow team fix

  • jaxcat3000 Jaxcat (@jaxcat3000) reported

    Nintendo really said let’s give splatoon 3 the best soundtrack you’ve ever heard but not release it on any streaming service because we hate you

  • Ant1069 anthony dixon (@Ant1069) reported

    @absofruitlyash Copyright issues.... with nintendo..... no way 😳

  • CherriBlossomTV Charlie BOOlossom || #HearthGuild (@CherriBlossomTV) reported

    // Nintendo clearly did here. I have my own personal problems with Chris Pratt (and Im sure if hes reading this, he doesnt like me either with the rainbow flag in my bio) but as someone thats actually trying to become a voice actor, seeing roles get stolen just bc their famous //

  • dragonicheriot Dragonicheriot (@dragonicheriot) reported

    @Mr13eyond @wattbloxart So you know how Sonic fans "bullied" Paramount and SEGA to fix Sonic? Can we "bully" Nintendo and Illumination to fix Mario?

  • Speedleo129 Speedleo (@Speedleo129) reported

    @Mei_K_Lier @JessePinnickVO You'll have to research it for more info. I'm no lawyer, but with Nintendo's antics in regards to copyright, and universal not being very much better, there might be trouble. Again, I'm no lawyer so you might have to look into how copyright works with movies.

  • nerpaseaI nerpa (@nerpaseaI) reported

    i've gotten 2 connection errors in a row on splatoon i just wanna play the ******* game nintendo

  • Zancuno 🔥Zancuno🔥(Commissions Hiatus) (@Zancuno) reported

    @TheJazzyWaffles @El_Aleph87 There is an issue of Nintendo DREAM that discusses the what parts of the body are made of. One japanese wiki mentions this and this image might be from the issue. Said wiki didn't include a photo or transcribe as proof to confirm. The magazine issue is not available for reprint

  • Reel_Bender Cal J. (@Reel_Bender) reported

    @NintendoAmerica I'm expecting that some scenes could be fixed for rhe mario voice. Doesn't have to be perfect. Visuals are stunning. Just fix the English version. Other languages seemed to be ok for Mario voice

  • _daemons _daemons (@_daemons) reported

    @KnightNZ GOG, Steam, Nintendo Switch Online, PlayStation Plus, and Xbox all offer old games that sell reasonably well. Every single one is a dollar earned that isn't a pirated title. Part of the problem are silly people like Jim Ryan who think old games sales cannibalise new game sales.
