Like it's not that the criticism of Nintendo isn't warranted. They're just like any other corporate entity. My issue is the idea that they are somehow worse than they used to be. Naw man they have been in the same state for years. It's just Reggie and iwata aren't here now.

@parentinfluenc1 Honestly, I've had more issues and stress with grown-*** adults acting worse than children on a lot of flights. Give me the flights with crying three-year-olds and Timmy playing Nintendo Switch any day over Karens and drunk men starting fights.

Nintendo did such a bad job of balancing sephiroth man, “this character is so insanely broken with wing and has one of the dumbest counters in the game but hey he’s like REALLY light so it’s fine”

@PorterJonD2 @one2escape Yes you can. And that's fine. But some people don't like using unofficial key sites due to various issues. They prefer official storefronts. When comparing prices fairly Xbox store, ps store, Nintendo e store, steam, epic, stadia store etc should be the only ones used.

@NintendoAmerica Any idea why I keep getting error 2123-0209 since April? I have tried just about everything to troubleshoot this on my end.

last night I dreamed that nintendo released a "canada bug fix" for animal crossing because the seasons were broken. For context it's only JUST started to be spring where I am, it still drops below freezing sometimes at night

@race_penguin Whatever helps them sleep at night. I just know that I can play all Nintendo and Xbox games on PC and most generations of PlayStation too. Let's give Sony a chance to fix that before the modders fix it for them lol

Nintendo really needs to improve their hardware, Even Apple and Samsung can put 120hz on their smartphones with no problems

@LordSothKotL @theRealJayDub2 A lot of CEO's are only human. But when your lineup with the Xbox only has Halo Infinite & nothing else your miserable. Like.. Even the Nintendo Switch as underpowered as it is; has a damn fine lineup of games. Something Xbox still cannot say it has & they need to fix that.

@WillasaurusRex8 This is just kind of rough. They're trying to be a gamepass service but emulating the Nintendo system of slowly adding games to the service. W E A K. Just give me the persona games and I'll buy in

I have been a huge Nintendo fan my entire life. @NintendoAmerica's inability to assist me with this issue in any substantive way for over five months is a masterclass example of alienating a lifelong customer. Nintendo had always been my main platform of choice until now.

@NintendoAmerica can you all please help me, I’m having a problem with rocket league on switch. The epic account I played with got deleted cause it was a work email. But my Nintendo account I would play on is on a separate email. Epic won’t send recovery to the Nintendo email

@KingGeoshi64 Still no reason for people to automatically hate any new game that comes out. But as long as they don’t pull a Bomberman Act Zero, brand recognition for the Mario series should not be an issue Nintendo needs to worry about.

@GAMER1984dude @ChupaThangE @ModernVintageG You seen to be very confused. I don't have a problem with anti-bullying, but I am fine with clowning on people who make silly posts, like yours was. Complaining that you couldn't get MVG taken down by Nintendo for discussing security exploits of old hardware is very silly.

@Carl_Sagan42 Rip, it was great while it lasted, glad you downloaded some of them! Nintendo shouldn’t ever delete levels it’s so dumb, like sure if it was glitches they can patch it but still keep the level up with that glitch.

why did nintendo never fix the link’s awakening framerate issues like PLS JUST CAP IT AT 30FPS IT BUGS ME SO MUCH

If you have a problem with Mysplaced looking like Link's Awakening on Switch you should probably get over it. If you have performatively @'d the Nintendo Twitter to defend the brands you worship from imitation, you should probably get a life. You are genuinely ******* pathetic.

(WARNING: LONG NERDY RANT) Amazingly, it seems like Nintendo actually fixed their credit card issue with the new update. I was finally able to place my first physical rewards order since December. I wish I could say I felt better about Nintendo now, but honestly I really don't.

@THUMPnsfw @Nintendo Surviving a broken PC and not being defeated is already better than i usually manage when it happen to me. Hope your work is safe but this content is also good stuff.

I think most likely Sunshine and Double Dash are on this Service at launch. TTYD, Luigi’s Mansion and Wind Waker maybe in an Update. The others just seem to make this thing look way more generous than Nintendo will ever pull out lol

@elonmusk Can you buy @NintendoAmerica and fix all the cheating in the #Pokemon #vgc competitive scene? @verlisifyYT can attest to this.

@Youknowme_tdj @N2NOther @Griggity Every first party PS5 game this year was a delayed game from last year. If there weren't issues last year, they'd have the same amount of games this year. I guess it really all depends on where devs were at in the development process when the pandemic hit. Nintendo delayed BOTW2.

@mr_rat_mod @Ryleain1 @Ploogak1 As I said he came up in conversation and he’s got a major anger problem . I don’t think about that fat head /fat ***. Keep the same energy when he throws something cause he doesn’t get to level 6 in a Nintendo game

The most reliable way to fix poor sound quality in my AirPods is to blow into them with the full force of my lungs. Thankful for my practice with Nintendo cartridges.
