  • CaioDaniboy Caio Augustos Daniboy (@CaioDaniboy) reported

    @NintendoCanada Nintendo please fix Mario kart tour mobile multiplayer as it is unbalanced and players are using hack that teleports them forward! Items like banana and hooves that should work as a shield are not working

  • FootballManager Football Manager (@FootballManager) reported

    @footrf1 Hi, we’re continuing to investigate the loading issue affecting saves created prior to the Main Data Update on Nintendo Switch. We're sorry for the inconvenience this has caused and will give an update as soon as we can.

  • GamerObscure That Obscure Gamer (@GamerObscure) reported

    @draaaaaain Nobody REALLY knows at the moment, but what we DO know is that it seems to be a NAND storage issue, the current theory is that Nintendo was trying to just get Wii U's out the door and at an acceptable price and just let the quality of the nand flash tank

  • baekyoongie_exo bia ☻︎ (@baekyoongie_exo) reported

    I'm having issues with my Nintendo Switch huhuhu can't catch a ******* break!

  • PiranhaPlant22 PiranhaPlant (@PiranhaPlant22) reported

    @KitandKrysta My Wii U said goodbye forever because the internal system memory is failing. Hopefully the EMMC NAND module in the 3DS and the Nintendo Switch don't have this problem too...

  • DevLilnut ☆ Daichi ☆( dev )🐻 (@DevLilnut) reported

    Cant post any thing to twitter because the Nintendo switch posting is acting stupid help how do i fix this

  • patricknotirl patrick (@patricknotirl) reported

    monsterhunter: Players wishing to use the save data transfer services in future are strongly encouraged to download the software before the end of Nintendo eShop service on these platforms. (4/4) Thanks everyone!

  • NintendoShame Nintendo Shame (@NintendoShame) reported

    It's been 600 days since the last game was added to the Nintendo Switch Online service

  • KindlyBaseball TheNameOfTheAccountButNotTheHandleThisCouldBeAnyth (@KindlyBaseball) reported

    @JamieMoranUK One of PCs biggest storefronts is literally called "Good OLD games". PS+ out there requiring you to pay for the highest tier of service in order to access their oldest games. *Gestures broadly at Nintendo* Good games don't expire. They're not cartons of milk.

  • _Otterocket Otterocket✨ (@_Otterocket) reported

    @2000redred @poke_miners The company that made XD and colosseum are still owned by Nintendo and TPC and still work with them on the game pokemon cafe mix. The designer of shadow lugia worked with gamefreak until Gen 9, so unless it’s been stated by niantic I doubt it’s a rights issue

  • VC_Pelu Pelu (@VC_Pelu) reported

    @kitosan "smaller" games like that should be part of NSO I feel like. Titles like Dr. Luigi, NES Remix, Pushmo and more would make the service even better! But nintendo won't hire me to tell them about it 😤

  • lsanchez1393 Leonardo Sanchez (@lsanchez1393) reported

    @FortniteStatus My nintendo keeps saying session may end and it kics me out of creative.can you fix that plz and the way the ghraphics look.

  • oliver_drk Oliver Darko (@oliver_drk) reported

    @Craig_Higgins @VGC_News Fair enough. But this brings us to another problem: Nintendo games almost never receive official price cuts. After six years Zelda: Breath Of The Wild costs still $60 at eshop.

  • MiamiSunryze MiamiSunryze 🌞🏝️🌊 (@MiamiSunryze) reported

    @missmandia It is awfully rare that the Playstation version has frame rate or gameplay problems so i usually get games there. Love Nintendo but it can be a difficult decision to go with Switch sometimes for performance reasons.

  • moonylovergirl mary peter (jily's version) (@moonylovergirl) reported

    i really believe that if nintendo released nintendogs on the switch all of my problems would be fixed and i would never be sad again

  • rena_rawr_ serena the 3rd (@rena_rawr_) reported

    love how twitter's bot problem keeps getting worse under musk, now they show up under almost any tweet that mentions nintendo

  • Agent20000Snow 🍃❄️ Agent Snow ❄️🍃☕️ (@Agent20000Snow) reported

    @New_Agent3 I hate when it does that!! Nintendo needs to fix this crap!

  • Yosha_101 Yosha (@Yosha_101) reported

    @Ginseng___ There is room to improve but ultimately the issue is resources. Some developers just don't have the resources to make what is the equivalent to a whole other game; Not everyone has the Nintendo Bucks to make Subspace Emissary (not even Nintendo has done that)

  • realENHolloway Ethan Holloway - EthaCade (@realENHolloway) reported

    @SMS_8bit @pkintheuniverse That’s the problem with so many big retro YouTubers they lose interest in original ideas and focus on clickbaiting Nintendo for extra clicks and cash

  • Negrodamus175 Hood Pope (@Negrodamus175) reported

    @Jiikae Honestly Gen z will have some one without a super technical background get bored and come up with a emulator honestly. Like current consoles should be way easier to emulate for sure. Nintendo consoles lowkey could the main issue Nintendo is going so out of pocket to emulate.

  • CupKingT Cup King (@CupKingT) reported

    So today, my internet is bad. My tablet charging nintendo switch broken. I cant connect to Minecraft servers. ROBLOX BANNED ME FOR HATING ON GAY PPL AND FURRIES. IVE GOD BLEEDING CUTS ON MY FINGERS. MAN AINT I ****** ENOUGH FOR TODAY!🤬🤬🤬

  • gmac929 Max (@gmac929) reported

    @MetroidDatabase i think that has more to do with the emulator being used for nso than it does nintendo actually changing the palette itself. a lot of gba emulators have issues with color display but others have settings for this type of thing
