  • THUNDERATIONS THUNDERATIONS (@THUNDERATIONS) reported

    Trying to enjoy #Splatoon2 @NintendoAmerica, but having trouble since most games are ruined by one or two players scoring 0. Maybe a reporting or blocking feature would be helpful. You’re welcome. Signed, Common Sense.

  • HeroineofMemes Heroine (@HeroineofMemes) reported

    @RexForSmashUlt @Zakkugame @NintendoAmerica its not supposed to fix those weaknesses of the game, the new control scheme is supposed make it more accessible for more audiences

  • DIDYOUK17196905 DID YOU KNOW (@DIDYOUK17196905) reported

    @GameTimeAsia It was so hard for me just to get my PS5 that's even more difficult now just to get games for my Nintendo 64 kind enough problems just getting the three I have

  • ReyHoots Rey⭐Lei (@ReyHoots) reported

    Watch Nintendo announce a new Atlas fighter like some one like Shin Megami Tensei joining smash and having the internet saying " It Sh0uld have been CrAsh!"

  • robertotoxd Jido (@robertotoxd) reported

    @Gaunglai_Kangyi @bluzueur @NintendoAmerica Resolution is, the graphics and lighting aren't, that's the problem

  • MoppyGames Moppy (@MoppyGames) reported

    @Ninkirboo570 The main point of my tweet is that it's 2021 and you should be able to play all the Nintendo greats on their most current system, either via a port, remaster, remake, BC, or streaming service and if it's a ****** port it better not be $60.

  • vvvchi v chi • Nier: Automata (@vvvchi) reported

    I wish ult had hitbox visualizations in training mode or something so people could learn what their moves actually can do instead of relying on animations and then complaining when their moves don’t work. Nintendo clearly has never cared about the hitbox =/= animation problem

  • JordanBotelho2 The Alien Tree (@JordanBotelho2) reported

    @InvaderGirlLum Literally the solution for Nintendo to the whole emulation issue is to just release the games, and not leave them out in the dust. The general people will pay and be excited for an official console re-release. Otherwise, pirating is the only choice matey.

    @knockoutcity is it Server error?? After logging in on the title screen, it becomes an error screen with nintendo switch. please help me.

  • NitroFlame250 NitroFlame 250 #GrookeyGang (@NitroFlame250) reported

    @EFOctony Damn I'm so very sorry to hear about that man. Have you tried to talk to Nintendo support or someone else about the problem that you are having at all?

  • HarutoChVtuber HarutoChVtuber (NO NSFW ART) (@HarutoChVtuber) reported

    @matik_guy @NintendoAmerica He's black so there isn't a problem

  • dippyy47 Dippy 🌹 (@dippyy47) reported

    @The_Katbot Quantity of games was certainly an issue, making the jump to HD while also supporting a handheld system slowed things down, but I think the bigger issue was variety. Nearly every active Nintendo franchise was represented well on 3DS. Wii U had some marios and not much else.

  • Floraoutsold Stan lotus 2.0 (@Floraoutsold) reported

    @LiebeSchiffer @ACrystalGemRGG @TierMaker the existence of these roles is still an issue though, even if her best is really good, her average/below average moments outnumber them this will keep going until Nintendo realizes she doesn't need to be a damsel all the time

  • L123Sparkle Sparkle (@L123Sparkle) reported

    @ACWorldBlog The live service thing was the worst. Unlocking and upgrading everything yourself was so much fun. Now you have to wait until Nintendo adds stuff, but its been a year and 2 months, Leif and Redd are the only characters added, and the museum upgrade is the only upgrade since...

  • pokeashN Pokeboi (@pokeashN) reported

    Man can another company make the online for Nintendo to make it better cause man why the ****** smash game always lag making impossible to react.

  • MoppyGames Moppy (@MoppyGames) reported

    @Ninkirboo570 Backwards compatability does not mean using "disks" my ps4 digital library is 100% backwards compatible on my ps5. Same goes for Xbox. "Oh but Nintendo doesn't have a digital library like that" yeah thats exactly the issue and why they suck.

  • JoshuDomo Joshu_Domo (@JoshuDomo) reported

    @NintendoAmerica how many times I gotta send my joy cons in before yall fix it right these hoes go out every 4 MONTHS

  • RexForSmashUlt gaming (@RexForSmashUlt) reported

    @HeroineofMemes @Zakkugame @NintendoAmerica Besides, the hand-holdy dialogue and the linearity of the world are pretty substantial aspects that held it back, and a new control scheme won't fix those.

  • Nermie01 Nermie01 (@Nermie01) reported

    @Dickenhiemer @NintendoAmerica Assuming that the amiibo 'fast travel' should be a base feature is the problem. If they didn't make the amiibo ability, this wouldn't even be a discussion. It's not like the amiibo is even real fast travel anyways, it's just like using a bird statue, but anywhere. Big deal. You-

  • nic0981323 Nic0981323 (@nic0981323) reported

    @SEGA @AdamKoralik But I can emulate it hopefully you don’t have a problem with that unlike Nintendo

  • RexForSmashUlt gaming (@RexForSmashUlt) reported

    @HeroineofMemes @Zakkugame @NintendoAmerica I get that. If they "fix" SS it wouldn't really be recognizable. You can only course-correct so much with a remaster. But structurally Zelda games benefit from more open ended exploration and SS's linearity hurts that structure a bit. Similar structure, less impressive execution.

  • PlantedWave5190 Jacob Henson (🎂 B-DAY IN 22 DAYS!!) (@PlantedWave5190) reported

    @Akfamilyhome This error message occurs when the Game Boy Player accessory is not connected to the Nintendo GameCube system's Hi Speed Port. This message will also occur on a Wii.

  • Dickenhiemer Why Do You Care (@Dickenhiemer) reported

    @Nermie01 @NintendoAmerica Sounds like a lot of lip service to say “not all bird statues are equal, but spend 25 to make them equal” instead of that just being in the game. If you’re so against them, you don’t have to use them, right? Let the players have more choice, not make them spend for that option.

  • musiccitynerd Christian Eulinberg (@musiccitynerd) reported

    @Drexl_Raz And its biggest issue was that it had little to no third-party support it was a Nintendo exclusive machine. Nowadays ppl using consoles for more than just gaming it's their media center hub.

  • ArtGuaky Guak 🔞 (@ArtGuaky) reported

    To fellow artists - did anyone run into trouble making exclusive content off Nintendo characters (e.g. explicit alternative variants)? I just received some warning about that

  • dave_warhammer WarhammerDave (@dave_warhammer) reported

    @RubenBeebe Yeah give it 8 years before xbox no longer makes consoles and lives as a streaming service on Nintendo and Playstation consoles

  • flipitbleu David (@flipitbleu) reported

    @robertotoxd @NintendoAmerica I personally don’t care about graphical improvements as long as they fix QoL issues from the original, like Fi stopping the game to annoy you about having low health or low batteries, or the tedious Tears of the Godesses fetch quest.
