    *Ending to Fahrenheit 451* Granger: And this sad, sad man has committed issues 1-43 of Nintendo Power to memory. Me: This order is big, but then, he's a pig.

  • SEMobster Ollie {SEMobster} 🤔🗿 (@SEMobster) reported

    @Tatsumi_Plays Both Nintendo's and Sony's have gotten worse. I think Microsoft was the only company that cared about making it better this generation but the placement will always be it's problem

  • BoyBovril Ewan then (@BoyBovril) reported

    @jack_the_the @thetruebowser Why did you ask what the problem was then you idiot? You utter buffoon. You absolute mud brained little stain in a suit Mr. Nintendo man

  • WaifuPalace WaifuPalace (@WaifuPalace) reported

    At least Xbox and Steam games aren't shipped in a broken mess like PlayStation and Nintendo games are....

  • macboi64 MacBoi #AntiWar #FreeUkraine 🇺🇦 (@macboi64) reported

    Also, don't use this tweet as an excuse buy the Nintendo Switch Online Expansion Pack. It's also a big expensive scam with emulation issues galore and I'd HIGHLY recommend staying away from that, too.

  • FFoxuwu reality_master_foxy (@FFoxuwu) reported

    @FortniteStatus @FNCompetitive can you fix the lag for Nintendo

  • Bonkle8 TormaToS (@Bonkle8) reported

    @MischiefsYT Lmao, i can imagine buying a Nintendo switch for the Xbox but the only way to use it is to buy a subscription service that you can buy and use on your phone. I feel bad for the people who do buy it

  • moondrunklover 🌙 (@moondrunklover) reported

    i just ordered a new nintendo 3ds xl om back market cause my old 3ds is broken and i have so many games im going to replay this summer

  • Anubirai Anubirai (@Anubirai) reported

    @Helexzura If you get a Razer Tartarus most PS games can be played on PC, still having an analog control for movement and mouse for better aim or faster menu selections. Can't help with the switch issue though, they're greedy at Nintendo.

  • AtomicIDX Atomic IDX (@AtomicIDX) reported

    @FallGuysGame @rudeism Pls fix code error 201_003 for nintendo switch pls i can't play with my friend and I've tried every fix option i could think of @FallGuysGame

  • DarianLegend Darian_The_Legend (@DarianLegend) reported

    @HMKilla Disappointed 😔 but not surprised and it shows me that Nintendo magic is dying. Sorry to sound like a broken record but Sony and Microsoft killed Nintendo with this years Non E3 fest

  • BurningInSins Shadow Mastiff (@BurningInSins) reported

    Update:I can login on my switch but not my playstation? Would like to be on playstation for a more stable game (no shade on nintendo)

  • patricknotirl patrick (@patricknotirl) reported

    nintendo wii broken

  • psyleafookami Frank L Våbenø (@psyleafookami) reported

    @motiontwin Is there any way that you can fix the game on "Nintendo Switch" so that I can get the achievement "The cowl does not make the Monk" ? I can't seem to unlock it on my main save, and its the last achievement I have left. Love the game though 🙏🏻

  • Iona_RoseFGC Iona Rose || #TeamMonét (@Iona_RoseFGC) reported

    @Bronagi the issue is more the fact its meant to be "nintendo partnered tour"

  • poppunkbuddhist paige 👽 (@poppunkbuddhist) reported

    @FallGuysGame Please fix the issue with squad mics not working for Nintendo Switch 😔

  • BriceNicholXIII NakoTheDrakon (@BriceNicholXIII) reported

    @Marlotix @ItsMaxHP Absolutely it is partially the team's fault. But Nintendo, knows how dissatisfied classic fans are with Modern Paper Mario. And Miyamoto should by extension know. And he should at this point. Approach Intelligent systems and CORRECT his mistake already. That's the problem

  • hiro4476x Hirox (@hiro4476x) reported

    @DoWhatYouDo6 @New_Legal_ The fundamental problem is, PS killed Japan, not-Nintendo publishers needs to support Steam since 2013 and now Xbox, to find new customers.

  • DomiiLotus DomiiLotus (@DomiiLotus) reported

    @GoodSoaked I think the time is linked to the time of your Nintendo, so if you can fix the time on there it should work

  • Gutboy Dreddbolt, Finally a Game Dev (@Gutboy) reported

    @DualEffectGames Tormented Souls Nintendo Switch pro controller issue. Joy-cons work, but I prefer not to use the joy-cons. When I use an official or off-brand wireless or wired pro-controller, down inputs on the d-pad aren't recognized. I don't know if it is my system.

  • Mystic_1217 Mystic (@Mystic_1217) reported

    @ItsMaxHP Totally agree. The extreme traditionalism is a massive issue at Nintendo rn. We need new blood managing stuff.

  • alishaskaggs3 alisha.skaggs🌻 (@alishaskaggs3) reported

    Our relationship should be like Nintendo 64 classic, fun to spend hours with and every issue is fixed by blowing on it and shoving it back in🤪

  • Chris_X_Jones Chris Jones (@Chris_X_Jones) reported
