    @MRMAN19981 @NintendoUK Yeah so go talk to the division of Nintendo that ACTUALLY caused the issue

  • TheCookingDojo Justin Kontovich (@TheCookingDojo) reported

    @MrCabanaNerd Yea I don't really think its a communication issue as much as Nintendo is just VERY protective of their properties.

  • raismithv r 🐱 (@raismithv) reported

    @NintendoAmerica Why is Nintendo online a service!!!!!!!!!!

  • Battlefieldsla1 𝖇𝖆𝖙𝖙𝖑𝖊𝖋𝖎𝖊𝖑𝖉𝖘𝖑𝖆𝖞𝖊𝖗𝖒𝖆𝖓𝖑𝖔𝖗𝖉 (@Battlefieldsla1) reported

    keep it alive. For example, Jim Sterling of The Jimquisition gave Breath of The Wild a 7/10, a decent score despite what the screeching anons of the internet would have you believe, anyway, Nintendo crusaders took issue with this and proceeded to take his website offline, insult

  • Dandy1ionGamer Britt (@Dandy1ionGamer) reported

    The devs outright refusal to add basic options & quality of life updates to Animal Crossing is why I don’t say “it’s just the business side of Nintendo that suck” Cause from my point of view some of their games have had some serious problems lately. It’s not just the legal team

  • ExTheMan Nick (@ExTheMan) reported

    Valve may still have some other issues, but i'd argue honestly they've done more things for their fans than nintendo ever did tbh

  • SADB0YKiiLO jay! 🎄❄ #RIPJUICEWRLD (@SADB0YKiiLO) reported

    nintendo is more focused on taking down a bunch of fanmade events & controllers made for charities... but can't spend a second to fix the controller drift issue.

  • thomadash thomadash (@thomadash) reported

    @NintendoUK I apologize for all the people blaming the problems on you.

  • Punk0PoPs Punk0 ♂️ (@Punk0PoPs) reported

    Idk why they are still crying and bitching about Nintendo as if this is the first time they have problems.

    @FortniteStatus @FortniteGame there is a bug on Nintendo Switch Lite. Once accepted a bounty challenge, can no longer open the map 🙈🤯 ...please fix

  • ccissio #FreeACPC (@ccissio) reported

    @Me87844660 @RayrayTheCarrot @Pocket_Camp No, Google wants to make app developers make their apps compatible for both 32 bit and 64 bit. The problem is that Nintendo only wants ACPC to be compatible for 64 bit OS phones.

    @babiedontstop shotaro: so, i accidentally left ur nintendo switch fall down and now it's broken, it can turn on 🥺 me: awww baby, don't worry, it's ok and i can buy another one (I can't bcs it's so expensive), are u okay? did u eat already? ♡

  • RennyTheTwat Durr Burr 🐻‍❄️🇧🇷 (@RennyTheTwat) reported

    @LonelyGoomba @DarylRhysT I know, right? Slippi takes in a original copy of the game, ripped by the player, to work. And it works better than smash ultimate online (and we all know nintendo can't have fans making a better service than they can). Ffs they're like gaming's Disney. Good games, shitty LT.

  • lazerem91 lazerelf 🎄 (@lazerem91) reported

    @JonDillonger @TuesdayATX honestly why doesn't Nintendo hire modders to fix the Ultimate net code? just solve all their problems by fixing the official ****

  • TheMogMiner That Mog Over There 🏳️‍🌈💻🎮🎶🇸🇪 (@TheMogMiner) reported

    I ran across it since I had the time to **** around with the game, with nothing better to do until it passed Lot Check. I reported it, and the project managers pretty much said, "Well, let's prep a fix, but also hope Nintendo don't find it". Nintendo didn't, we shipped with it.

  • Cariichan91 AHS | Carii (@Cariichan91) reported

    @ActualAero Well about that Pokemon Prism thing, I can see why Nintendo can't support Romhacks like this. Its about copyright issues etc. But I would to see Pokemon Company collap with RPG Maker to announce an "Pokemon RPG Maker" :D <3

  • TheRealGarnio Garnio (@TheRealGarnio) reported

    @EricW66959446 To fix Nintendo, you first have to fix their entitled and infantile fan base

  • superkeefo superkeefo (@superkeefo) reported

    @Untamed_Ghost Its a world wide issue with nintendo, not about 1 tournament. I've already said this and you continue to ignore it. Unwilling to read or learn about what the actual issue is, if your going to be uneducated you should refrain from commenting imo - or choose to educate yourself.

  • MaDWaSTeD MaDWaSTeD (@MaDWaSTeD) reported

    @HesGoingtoScore @markjpwns Unfortunately we can't blown into 2020 like a Nintendo cartridge... this may be the problem

  • NintendoShame Nintendo Shame (@NintendoShame) reported

    It's been 76 days since the last game was added to the Nintendo Switch Online service

  • PerKimba_ PerKimba (@PerKimba_) reported

    @john_dermont @TheSegajorn @ActualAero So, I just looked up and it was in fact the trademarked logo. Nintendo has no issues with modified JoyCons on sale, the problem is when you put trademarked stuff in it. Also, the guy was already C&D in September over the design and yet he insisted. Now that is insanity.

  • PerKimba_ PerKimba (@PerKimba_) reported

    @erikbso64 @ActualAero Charity does not give you the right to use a trademark. The problem is the logo itself, and the designer insisted on it even after he already got a legal threat from Nintendo in September. In order to avoid legal issues, all he has to do is remove or change the trademarked logo.

  • coolkiwiii coolkiwiii (@coolkiwiii) reported

    if you're going to take down silvagunner music, at least start releasing the video game music on your own seperate yt channel or streaming services. these videos survived over 8 years, why does nintendo have a problem now??

  • VirtuaCitra Citra, Agender Mario (debuting 04/16/2021) (@VirtuaCitra) reported

    To avoid copyright issues with Nintendo, all my VODs will be edited to remove the sounds from alerts and if required, text will display if I was speaking while the alert went off. Having a GF who has editing skills is poggers, she has her own **** to do, so VODs may release late

  • MRMAN19981 Asad (@MRMAN19981) reported

    @R4ptor2125 @NintendoUK They won't listen the more we spread the word the better also #FreeMelee is just the tip of their shitty business practices that nintendo needs to fix

  • LonelyGoomba LonelyGoomba (@LonelyGoomba) reported

    @Compiler421 @NintendoUK My issue with walljumping isn’t even the practical use of it. I just think it’s a bad mechanic. The prompt just pops up randomly, is inconsistent and generally just happens by mistake. Feels a bit sloppy

  • Fabrilax Fabrilax (@Fabrilax) reported

    @GilvaSunner Then give me a ****** STREAMING SERVICE NINTENDO

  • DjPhantom2158 DjPhantom #BLM (@DjPhantom2158) reported

    @DemeechYT Honestly Nintendo, there are worse things that are happening right now, shutting down things that are not hurting the company just shows your greed. Instead of shutting down Etika Joy-Cons, fix Joy-Con drift. It’s that simple @NintendoAmerica

  • Not_Gab_ 💙 Gab 💙 (@Not_Gab_) reported

    @SasadeWorld @KakashiSecond But why did they stop? I mean how ******** am I supposed to play melee or double dash now? Or whats about Galaxy 2 or Pikmin 1 and 2? Oh don't forget my Donkey Kong 64 on Nintendo 64. You get the problem? We don't hate that they try to save their properties. We are sad that they
