    this is currently an issue with the Nintendo website that does not load all 5k Switch games so i can review them all. thanks i hate it

  • lilal75775 Alonzo Vines (@lilal75775) reported

    @anarchyKaos666 @sonicpulsar @HipHopGeek86 Nintendo owns the IP but I don't think there would be an issue

  • perytonchua peryton chua (@perytonchua) reported

    @ColourPopCo @NintendoAmerica plz I need #AnimalCrossingxColorpop 😭 fix my 2021

  • GingieJP Gingie (@GingieJP) reported

    @Dark_Wizzy_ I personally liked the mode. honestly there are several Nintendo licensed games with far worse single player offerings imo. I took particular issue with tennis aces and and Super Mario Party as at least WoL had options and fun gimmicks while Aces and MP were linear, dull, and bad

  • Blakamon15 Darkonflare15 (@Blakamon15) reported

    @IronLordPodcast Stop praising bad intent seems to be a problem for Microsoft. Where is the stop praising bad intent for Nintendo or Sony. Until we start seeing full out rage for the stuff they do then we can make it fair. Until then people should start policing the others.

  • BabyVampireBat Vampress the Vamperor 🦇 (@BabyVampireBat) reported

    @rosecoloredpres @ColourPopCo @NintendoAmerica imagine begging for something because you "mentally ill" like others dont have problems LMAO

  • Marloges Capcom Appreciator (@Marloges) reported

    @Dezuuu This one's on the Nintendo Switch online service. You can play a select few titles of both NES and SNES for free if you got a subscription.

  • clavi06 clavi06 (@clavi06) reported

    @RandomName256 @MellyManLegends @sonic_hedgehog The problem with the story is the forced bad jokes, in DS it is better, the level design is not terrible, but it is a bit more like a Mario, using cubes as platforms (because Colors is focused on Nintendo players)

  • unwarycoin Unwarycoin (@unwarycoin) reported

    @NintendoAmerica Will there be anything missable or could I freely revisit any area? (Also, could the assist block permanently ruin my shiny stars, or did that stop being an issue with 3D Land?)

  • Joebotnik gone (@Joebotnik) reported

    Nintendo misspelled "monkey" when they invented Donkey Kong. With Biden in the White House there is nobody left to force them to fix it

  • TheJClifClark TheJClifClark (@TheJClifClark) reported

    @NintendoAmerica it’s bull! I have to have an online membership to get different fruit types on @animalcrossing . Anyone else having this issue? #smh

  • AloofPlays ALOOF (@AloofPlays) reported

    @CelestialCicada @NintendoAmerica The absolute zero take is actually “fix the mainline games.” I want them to focus more on spin-offs.

  • GreenieDude GreenDude (@GreenieDude) reported

    @NintendoAmerica Wow the ground looks so bad, fix your **** Pokémon lol.

  • p0eticjvstice__ hailey hermosa💋 (@p0eticjvstice__) reported

    see... my problem is I want a diverse *****.😭I want him to be aggressive & tote guns but also watch "the notebook" & play nintendo switch wimme.🥴

  • marissadolce •*:・゚✧ 🌸𝒢𝑜𝓉𝒽𝒾𝒸 𝑀𝑜𝓉𝒽🍼🌸• (@marissadolce) reported

    @The_Great_Green Psst is sell your extra Nintendo’s and buy a used one and fix the old one but there’s probably no point I. Buying a new one when you can repair one for $75

  • Dripz___ Dripz (@Dripz___) reported

    @kooogler Why would you put yourself through s customer service call to nintendo? Lol

  • MarlonUltra Miora Night Sky (@MarlonUltra) reported

    @add9575 did you ever get a letter from Nintendo to stop doing lewd arts etc. heard many artists have that issue atm

  • KapralovDavid Metal Elitist 89 (@KapralovDavid) reported

    @GirlOfSelfLove Nintendo: Banjo-Kazooie Xbox: Halo PlayStation: Crash Bandicoot

  • Yamirah7 Yamirah (@Yamirah7) reported

    @jackson271984 Wait. Dragalia is crashing for you. Dragalia is a Nintendo IP. Crash Bandicoot has crash in his name. Crash confirmed for Smash.

  • MuzzoEl El Muzzo (@MuzzoEl) reported

    @IOInteractive Please fix the server problems on Nintendo Switch. I get disconnected and cannot go online again. I have to restart the app which takes a couple of minutes.

  • Seumas757 James (@Seumas757) reported

    @nintendolife Good. Hopefully Nintendo will fix it now

  • diseasedrodent arynn (@diseasedrodent) reported

    my dad gave my mom my christmas gift (money to fix my car) and she's spending it on a nintendo switch instead of letting me have it :)

  • robinmowat R. Mowat (@robinmowat) reported

    I screwed up a purchase from @NintendoAmerica today, and dreaded the customer service call. But it actually was smooth and successfully resolved. Thanks!

  • LumLotus 𝔏𝔲𝔪𝔦𝔫𝔢𝔯𝔳𝔞 (@LumLotus) reported

    @DP_leet Earthbound would obviously be one of the games to try. The only issue with this is you have to either find a super Nintendo and the game (can be expensive since it's a prized cart) or emulate it. (Might be hard to find the rom because Nintendo doing a crack down on such things.)

  • alley_artist ❄️Wintery thighs❄️ Alley the slime lover (@alley_artist) reported

    @Valanway_Slash Thats litterally what their problem is? The anti rise people want it to be like world on other consoles even tho the series is primarily a nintendo rooted console, world was even made with a completely diff dev team and very little og creators input

  • KirbyKnight00 KirbyKnight (@KirbyKnight00) reported

    Cyber shadow is being released on Xbox game pass today and I’m pretty excited about it. One of the top games that got my attention when it was showcased during the Nintendo indies direct. (It sounds weird when I say that, seeing it on Nintendo but playing it on an Xbox service).

  • Atomix105 Atomix10 (@Atomix105) reported

    @forestillusion Do you happen to know of any archive project for the defunct Nintendo Video service or have those videos been lost to time

  • emph0ria em 🥰🦈 (@emph0ria) reported

    @ColourPopCo @NintendoAmerica #AnimalCrossingxColorpop pLS i'm begging my switch is literally broken and all

  • JWTProgrammer 𝙹𝚊𝚜𝚘𝚗 𝚆. 𝚃𝚑𝚘𝚖𝚙𝚜𝚘𝚗 (@JWTProgrammer) reported

    @FiteTV @peacockTV I think it's a bad move for wrestling fans. My hope was that the WWE Network would be a home for all wrestling promotions including rivals. I pictured it as becoming the Nintendo of pro wrestling. Now it'll just be an archive on someone else's service.

  • BlueCatBanjo73 ✨CosmoBrittany73✨ (@BlueCatBanjo73) reported
