    @PokemonUnite Fix theses ******* bugs and lag in nintendo switch

  • DakDread DAK⚡️ (@DakDread) reported

    The Nintendo game problem where you might as well buy it at launch bc the most you’ll get of a sale is $5 off a year from now

  • J2KChoiceCuts Jon (@J2KChoiceCuts) reported

    @m2hroy @onlyitsmereid Btw I’m pretty sure most Nintendo games are QA tested by Mario club, so most games have the same depth of glitch hunting. These guys are revered for their ability to find even out of the way bugs and glitches, some of the best in the industry, and they didn’t find these.

    @MichaelPrestis @cubedc28 @PlayStation Yes like I said an advantage to be able to be a portable console. Even on stand by the Switch can be taken many places a PS5 can't go. loading times over all though have never been a problem on Nintendo consoles. The ps5 sucks it charges extra for faster loading times terrible

  • SoS_Aerow Mister Launius (@SoS_Aerow) reported

    @ImpishMATT @PushDustIn Nintendo has this core problem where they begin to focus on a select 4-5 franchises, and then begins neglecting the rest. As of now, that's basically Mario, Zelda, Splatoon, Pokémon, and Animal Crossing. Metroid now, too. But the rest... It feels like "selective acknowledgement".

  • mastersworrd ⚔️ zoe ⚔️ (@mastersworrd) reported

    can nintendo pls speed it up with botw2 because I am very depressed and need the game to fix that !

  • JavaReef Want Some Coffee?/BLM (@JavaReef) reported

    @NintendoAmerica Broken link?

  • stay__there__ ♧tuney♣︎ (@stay__there__) reported

    @SoraxaroS97 Literally most of your rts and posts are either pokemon bad or Nintendo bad, playstation fanboys need to deal with their parental issues i swear

  • umbreon3000 Dimension Gamer Inferno (@umbreon3000) reported

    @THEAP99 Problem we have is that Nintendo has a lot more die hard fans that will support everything they do, than the other companies. That makes it hard to make a dent in their profits big enough to send them a msg. Which is unfortunate.

  • thepoindexter_ jack (@thepoindexter_) reported

    Hey Nintendo, I thought with all of your experience you'd know that if you're doing a remake you should actually fix the problems the original had.

  • DragneelHill Dylan 🌌 💰 | Watch Edens Zero (@DragneelHill) reported

    I think Mihoyo took one look at Nintendo's online service and immediately back pedaled away from a Switch version for Genshin. The only explanation for no new info in over a year about it.

  • dany156 Legend of Kailia (@dany156) reported

    @TimGettys Nintendo has done it. Just copy it. The problem seems like these other companies cannot fill multiple directs. They keep showing the same or old things over and over. So just dont do them. They want something like treehouse? This aint it

  • cryptidpdf fried egg fan 🍳 (@cryptidpdf) reported

    @tiredchocolates @Marshylor i hope its okay to add to this but i just used the same proxy service 2 order my splat pennant flag off the nintendo website and it got here fast as **** so i do recommend them bfhdsfds

  • PiplupPeanut PiplupPeanut (@PiplupPeanut) reported

    @ExpandDong15 @this_Ozzi I like Nintendo life but I mean this is reeeeeeeally stretching and contributing to the problem on their end Gotta get what clicks you can to make that money I guess

  • JamaltonD Jamalton DeWanye (@JamaltonD) reported

    @SamuelJ94476399 @veegsredds @NintendoAmerica A lot more people use regular Switch. And you can buy joy cons for Lite so its a non issue. The concept isn't very new. Platforming games have had timed minigames, this just isn't done well.

  • rhythmdrspam malo (@rhythmdrspam) reported

    everyone has said this but nintendo we buy an online service to play online not to play nes games please bring virtual console back please

  • ZTOwlz Zo Owlz (@ZTOwlz) reported

    I don't understand how Nintendo wants people to pay for their "services" if they can't even be bothered years ago to fix their netcode at all. I mean, not everyone owning the Nintendo Switch console is rich enough to pay for high-speed internet. @Nintendo @NintendoAmerica

  • RotiniFactor Beeg Noodle (@RotiniFactor) reported

    **** you Nintendo fix my **** for free it’s less than 6-months-old

  • silverfallsgame Silver Falls (@silverfallsgame) reported

    Thanks for waiting, everyone. We apologize for the delays regarding the 3 Down Stars update to fix those glitches and crashes. We have been waiting for Nintendo to push the button to launch it on eShop but haven't heard back from them all month. Maybe you could @NintendoAmerica ?

  • Lumiel_Hears Lumiel (@Lumiel_Hears) reported

    I started watching the Nintendo doc "Playing with Power". But crackle is such a terrible streaming service that I couldn't make it past the second episode. I might buy the blu-ray or wait for it to come to other digital stores.

  • VinceVance9 Vince Vance (@VinceVance9) reported

    @NintendoAmerica When are you going to acknowledge and fix JoyCon drift, you asses?

  • KalosTrainerMic Ace Trainer Mike (@KalosTrainerMic) reported

    @UltimaShadowX @NintendoAmerica My problem with Ranger is that it's one egg per cart. Unless you have a way to erase the data completely, it's one and done for that cart forever- and, I know we got Rescue Team DX so it's possible but I'm still not confident we'll get the Ranger trilogy...

  • samuelmworthy Sam Worthington (@samuelmworthy) reported

    @Aniloidfill @lavender_blob The recent battletoads game has shown that stuff can come from these old IPs. It just has to be done right from the owners pov. This **** about nintendo doing BK better service is rubbish too, DK hasn't been served well in years neither has Metroid.

  • AlexYan30725249 That Little Cat (@AlexYan30725249) reported

    @NintendoAmerica So why not include SNES masterpieces like Mega Man X, Super Castlevania IV, EarthBound, Final Fantasy VI, Super Mario RPG, Turtles In Time, etc. But I doubt it will happen soon. Because Sintendo of Japan doesn’t have the ***** to include them on the SNES Switch Online service. 😒

  • snodaze branford (@snodaze) reported

    I DO NOT LIKE THE NINTENDO SWITCH GAME CASES. Why am I the only one with this problem?? I feel as if they should a bit thicker so they can display logos or side art. The games are so bland on my shelf, it's pointless to collect. WHY AM I STILL COLLECTING???

  • I_am_Sovereign_ Sovereign Sui Generis (@I_am_Sovereign_) reported

    @BelongieLuna I thought you'd be a fox girl given your love for them. Also is there any reason not to be a pokemon girl? You know human girl with pokemon features, ears, tail and such. Or would that be a problem with Nintendo?

  • burninglowkey Brenden (@burninglowkey) reported

    @gorboob 7/10 I could’ve done better on a broken Nintendo joystick with gamer goggles smh my head

  • AkiraLikesRamen いざなぎーのーおかみ/Used to be Akira Kurusu (@AkiraLikesRamen) reported

    God damn I just need like 120 more My Nintendo points but for some reason the Age Of Calamity website is having some issues giving me the points
