@HatokTalk Let me just pay the voice actor for Lucina to voice a character in my Fire Emblem mod, I'm sure Nintendo will have no problem with that.

@mjc0961 @Wario64 Maybe if this was still on the wiiu in 2013, while nintendo is still inferior with online benefits and quality to its competitors you can still play things with people with little to no problems. Especially if you are hard wired

@Shpeshal_Nick If Nintendo were the issue, I’d guess MS would’ve offered to release the remake on Nintendo platforms. I don’t see why that wouldn’t have made them happy.

I just wanna play a real Mario Kart and have fun ... Any time Nintendo wants to port the characters and costumes from Tour to 8 though... I wouldn't mind paying for that! I'll pay to play dress-up, no problem!

@NintendoAmerica With the control issues that everyone has with the game… the fact that the controls for everyone playing online are reliant on the host settings is terrible

@NintendoAmerica Online is not written out. And why do you want it to be online if you're the same ones who demanded to fIx OnLiNe? Just give this game however it is a chance.

@fxshaw More competition ms as of right now has more studios than Sony and Nintendo. The competition is already there, the issues is output and management in which XBOX is lackluster in

@DrDoobi3 Netflix has so many sharks in the same pond. Twitter is the only viable microblogging service and theres so many attached things (like Nintendo sharing, Share to twitter, etc) but Elon is so in the red on birdsite he might need to keep it in order to not pull out of TSLA more

@MisterBiotic Did you ever get this fixed? I've always used PayPal and my debit cards but I'm getting the same error. I hit up PayPal and there's nothing wrong with it (plus I've used it plenty of times) and Nintendo can't seem to figure it out.

@CJ_Mystik MGM handles legal issues. MGM took down the links to XBLA. MGM took down the GoldenEye 25 fan remake. Back in 2008, MGM would've said no even if Nintendo were to say yes. MGM is the culprit.

@KnightsMagicEn @dgripper00 @Wario64 You're not gonna change my mind even with using slurs to prove your point. Besides your completely ignored my point about Nintendo releasing good games that don't need improvement. You're crazy if you think Nintendo games are broken. I'm not wasting time on this subject 👍

Trying to connect to "RISK online play" on Nintendo Switch. But it won't connect to ubisofts server. I called nintendo support and was told the problem I'm having is coming from Ubisoft. Then i left a ticket with you guys (Ubisoft Support Ticket: 17787272). Please advise!

@MikeyWhetstine @splatoonfan1234 @NintendoAmerica Yeah, but if GC games can easily be emulated via Dolphin, Nintendo should have no problem doing it either.

@sonicmega It'll take 10,000 years based on how fast the USB 3.0 port is, but it'll get it done. Good luck trying to transfer over to a new Switch though. Nintendo being archaic with that, simply formats the card contents instead of a "you need to sign in and verify these are yours"

@NintendoAmerica Mario Party Superstar has a huge problem with the online feature. Every time I try to play online with my friends, the game kicks one of us out due to connection error but we all have good connection. Can you guys please look into it & fix the issue. Thanks

@KnightsMagicEn @dgripper00 @Wario64 I've never had issues with Nintendo games being broken enough to be unplayable. modding games & changing them is disrespectful to the original creator yes bugs and all. you're not preserving the original vision. It's like if u take a Van Gogh, draw on it and say "it's better"

@Zugatti69 I actually got in trouble with Nintendo for trying to name one of my pokemon "Pine" because apparently it means "****" xD

The Last Switch in the Target
(@Iwanttobeat) reported
@MangleMan25 That's the problem though lmfao They got mass appeal by going for casuals. The Wii U was marketed like it was for babies and parents thought it was just a Wii upgrade. Nintendo made it clear the switch was different and went for all ages and for "everyone" this time
