  • aggromango1 🎃aggropumpkin🎃 (@aggromango1) reported

    Why do so many people hate the idea of a Nintendo Cinematic Universe? It's a neat idea and I don't see anything not working if the characters all belong to Nintendo.

  • thicccccpikachu thiccccccccccccccccccccccccccccccccccccccccccccccc (@thicccccpikachu) reported

    @TheMikeRobles @generationrecs Man, I remember that issue of Nintendo Power. I think I have it somewhere

  • KephirBaron Kephir Baron (@KephirBaron) reported

    @NintendoAmerica I've got a few issues with what I've seen, but overall looks better than what sword and shield was at the start

  • Aonaskull Aonaskull ☠ (@Aonaskull) reported

    @nintendo @NintendoAmerica Fix your servers, what a shame we pay for that

  • simplybeingelle Elle (@simplybeingelle) reported

    Is it @NintendoAmerica or @Disney fault for Dreamlight Disney always suddenly experiencing an error and closing. Me loosing what I just did.

  • NerdlyDragon Corey (@NerdlyDragon) reported

    @NintendoAmerica Considering it’s weak to only Bug and Dark, First Impression and Sucker Punch won’t be a problem. And yet people complain it’s just the same as another ability, Protean/Libero exists.

  • Boxolita Hapu (@Boxolita) reported

    @TriThreat98 @Waterstarlight @NintendoAmerica It’s not broken, but it definitely is useful.

  • brxndybrxndy brandy (@brxndybrxndy) reported

    @NintendoCanada @NintendoAmerica @SplatoonNA Day 27 (28 with Splatfest) of asking for a fix for the “not enough players” error on Splatoon 3. Fix it or refund me and everyone else who bought the game and still can’t play due to this error.

  • tudsworthington - ̗̀ 🏳️‍⚧️Tuddy🏳️‍⚧️ ̖́- (@tudsworthington) reported

    @Deeteckz @onixhope Hoping beyond hope that Nintendo invests in them and turns things around because they deserve better than dying chasing the Live Service bag.

  • notyourusualcup visy ~ AbraKitten (@notyourusualcup) reported

    @textfiles @llamasoft_ox Nintendo’s famous strict about failing cert for minor text copy issues like aformentioned a button

  • Mudkipking9991 MudkipKing999 (@Mudkipking9991) reported

    @gameo7_ i was gonna say yooo gameo for switch but then I saw the issue. I mean if your willing to wait like 2 weeks you can send them to Nintendo to get it fixed

  • Kallumforeal kallum Foreal (@Kallumforeal) reported

    @basedtweetsonly @RealitiesCore @NintendoAmerica Ehm, sorry, got a 3070ti here, it was poorly optimized period, all the mod did as fix their optimization Also, the patch you're talking about was for a VERY long time Epic excusive lol

  • CrispyFrise 🎃Crispy boi🎃(CEO OF GUMBALL) (@CrispyFrise) reported

    @JeffMan1490 @ExpandDong15 Damn, I guess every video game character that was even a little inspired by a Nintendo property is a Nintendo character now. Crash bandicoot is my favorite Nintendo character lowkey

  • starie_wolf Starie 🎗 (@starie_wolf) reported

    Here’s a thread of some perfectly timed communication errors. Nintendo needs to fix this…. Feel free to drop yours below too. #splatoon3

  • wereallwaluigi WeAreAllWaluigi (@wereallwaluigi) reported

    @NintendoAmerica @SplatoonNA fix your game fr. i have to wait 6 minutes when i never disconnected it said my connection was unsable so this is just unfair.

  • FanficSuccubus hex friend (@FanficSuccubus) reported

    How do people play Pokemon that they get so into it? I play it like an RPG where I get bored from the grinding, which is clearly not working out Not that I want to play Pokemon, Nintendo games are so expensive

  • SylviaRuriri ☁ ˗ˏˋ Sylviarill ˎˊ˗ ☁ COMMISH OPEN (@SylviaRuriri) reported

    @botzerve @NintendoAmerica Oh, you mean the same platforms who had frame drops because Square was unable to fix that mess and fans needed to mod it to have it fully work better on PC even with their recommended GPU at the time?

  • patricknotirl patrick (@patricknotirl) reported

    nintendo wii broken

  • goebaghoul head injury enjoyer 🏳️‍⚧️ (@goebaghoul) reported

    This is why I hate stuff like xbox or nintendo online, like ok so I paid for the machine, now im paying monthly for the internet in order to also pay monthly for the service on the internet that lets me do the things I got the internet for in the first place

  • landxhp Laura Lanford (@landxhp) reported

    @LifeIsStrange @Nintendo When are you giving your customers proper treatment and fixing the errors in the PS4 versions? Both Before the Storm and Life is Strange are still bugged ever since release. Sony denied refunds so we're stuck with bugged dysfunctional games. PLEASE fix the Remastered versions.

  • bapotiline836 Sonia Lewd (@bapotiline836) reported

    These Mario movie character design reveals made me realize something. Nintendo manage to get these designs right the FIRST time. Whereas with the Sonic movie, SEGA had to fix one really bad design. I love Sonic & his games, but sometimes it feels depressing to be a fan... 😔

  • KLSoraine Kelsey Soraine (@KLSoraine) reported

    @NintendoCanada You guys need to fix your online shop. Shipping is always chaotic and it won't show me any shipping method options

  • _Mnooper Sp🎃🎃ky Mn🎃🎃per (@_Mnooper) reported

    @AustiGaming @NintendoUK does it matter if they break if theyre renewable? that was the whole problem with breaking TMs in the first place

  • 1Bprice NF-T. Rowe Price (@1Bprice) reported

    @0xKeef Sweet! can you bring your nintendo? Mine's broken. I blew in the cartridge and everything. Didn't work.

  • Boxolita Hapu (@Boxolita) reported

    @TriThreat98 @Waterstarlight @NintendoAmerica It’s not really broken, but it’s definitely is useful.

  • SolidNopeRope Lawful Everett (@SolidNopeRope) reported

    @SMetaldave64 Why buy them and put that “creative” mind on your team when you can just buy their IP, especially after they crash and burn? Nintendo bought the Astral Chain IP, if they wanted PG they would have already.

  • bapotiline836 Sonia Lewd (@bapotiline836) reported

    @elliotduby Seeing all these reveals of the characters and Nintendo getting them right the first time makes me depressed that the Sonic movie struggled with that one really bad character design and had to fix it. Why is it so hard to be a Sonic fan?...😔

  • Master0Skynet Master Skynet (@Master0Skynet) reported

    @ElderScrolls Developers of Bethesda. Hi! Tell me, will you fix Skyrim Anniversary Edition for Nintendo Switch? I bought this update and the game became unplayable. Riften 15 fps. Or release a fix to disable the Anniversary Edition mods. The original Skyrim worked well.

  • joshua_kreiser Joshua Kreiser (@joshua_kreiser) reported

    @CatrachoNacho @EmberAlberson @RealUltraFox Dreamcast was released way before Nintendo Switch online was even a thing. You can't really compare the 2. Internet back then was still it baby step for both consoles and computers. My main problem with Switch online was when they added a premium on top of the price. Before that
