@Aquatic_Rampage @CaptainNwa1ps @nintendolife What if the leaks were about somenthinh that isn't ready creates tons of hype and Nintendo is forced to either work their devs to death to fix it on schedule or release it in a bad state and then have to fire an entire dev team cause they did a bad job? Devs are humans too.

@tpitch51 @NintendoAmerica That's definitely true. I had the opposite problem in MP1 with the Slot Car Derby. Of course that would be the last minigame. 😭

Nintendo is one of the worst companies out there when it comes to accessibility, fyi. Almost every game they create has some sort of accessibility issue. Lone exception might be Sakurai's games because he loves to add options.

@olpentis @jrgibson90 @thicc_stick_boi consoles were literally created because it was too much trouble using a computer back then , i'm talking about the days of the nes and snes. so instead of releasing a came to work on a pc nintendo distributed the platform and the games together.

@theroomacattack @Canadianguyehh Really doubting his chances tbh. Based on previous picks, it'll be a first party rep or another Japanese ip. Nintendo's a Japan first company, and biggest fan base is there after all. Crash is nowhere as huge in Japan like he used to be in his heyday.

@peenSLly It’s technically possible but I feel like Nintendo already thinks they solved the problem with the Nintendo online app so it probably won’t happen

@MojangSupport Hello, I am currently on my nintendo switch, and did not login previously to Minecraft before adding minecoins (9.99 pack) and cannot find my minecoins, or the money back on the eshop (which i wasnt expecting anyways). Is there a way I can fix this/get a refund?

Dunno who needs to hear this but if your Nintendo Switch controllers are on the fritz (Joy-Con drift, etc) you can just fill out an online form and Nintendo will fix ‘em for free.

nintendo has released like the fourth trailer for Skyward Sword HD and still has not made a single attempt at communicating whether or not they fixed the more atrocious issues with that game's pacing and no the amiibo scam does not count

@NintendoUK @NintendoUK is there a fix for my #NintendoSwitch right hand controller thats started drifting at every inconvenience when I'm in the middle of a game. Its starting to drive me mad.

@CptSparky360 @DarkBlueMonkey It was slightly cheaper. But nintendo recritified the pins problem from the original nes with it. They came out after the snes and was inspired by the snes design with the curves .. the controllers have been nick named "bones". These go for a decent amount of money these days

@MrDream923 @DynamoSuperX I think the issue is that to the vast majority of people, Min Min is a no one. At least Springman would have been someone they might recognise considering Nintendo did try to push ARMS, but Min Min wasn't a massive part of that pushing so she feels out of place.

@Ebonscale I can’t even log into the Epic Games launcher without logging into my Nintendo Account first due to Issues that have Never Resolved. It takes even longer. It’s not fun, that’s for sure.

@csd_was_taken i mean aside from the 60 dollars it looks like it'd be a great game to pick up, but i'm moreso upset with nintendo's constant practice of rereleasing old games for full price and this isn't a problem specicially with skyward sword hd

@BlindinTerpines @NintendoAmerica They're not going to remaster this game since it defeats the whole purpose of having it on the online subscription service, in other words it needs a remake not a remaster just like link's awakening

@MrJRock_tweets @NintendoAmerica They're trying to fix it, as of now, just reset your switch until it works (by that i mean shut your switch off for a bit then turn it on, when the network is back, download the game)

@sam_malones92 @theroomacattack @Canadianguyehh To be honest that's not entirely true. Crash actually does pretty big numbers in sales in Japan. Unlike Spyro sadly Crash has a decent footing in Japan and yes Nintendo does show favoritism they do break that a lot more these days. I mean look at Steve, Banjo and Terry

@NintendoAmerica Fix your game. Bring friendly fire on smash online doubles. Or stop producing cancers like Sephiroth. See a few Mega man spam online, try it out on a flat map. Broken projectiles. #SpamCity #FixSmash #SmashBrosUltimate

At the start of the 1990s, Sega had a problem—a big, fat, moustachioed Italian plumber problem. Although it had just launched the well-received Genesis console, the company was still no match for the might of Nintendo, with its NES games machine and rotund plumber hero, Mario.

@Kyubeasy @hildasdeodor @TAHK0 Konami let them put Castlevania in the base game with quite a lot of content so I doubt it. But yeah Square would be problematic. A Smash Ultimate port wouldn't be as expensive as the base game was though so maybe Nintendo wouldn't have a problem with the cost.

@Sunnspott_ @TAHK0 It’s not even the “lack” of content that’s the issue it’s the fact people spent way to much time in the game because of the pandemic. There are people that have like 300 hour saves in the span of not even a year and a half. That’s not Nintendo’s fault
