    @witchghast @forestminish In fairness, Nintendo workers have not broken into a fridge to drink breast milk

  • Botcysincara69 Botchy (@Botcysincara69) reported

  • StringAged 🎃Aged String🎃 (@StringAged) reported

    @RemyRaccoonYT Pirating always solves problems. Infinity Train gone? Pirate! Nintendo not rereleasing a game? Pirate! Intrigued in a Disney film? Pirate!

  • _ImBoredand Clapper (@_ImBoredand) reported

    @dumbdragon5 @willperkin_ well tbh nintendo games are good, just the console sucks, like ssbu would look better in 4k and not lagging.

  • MitsValen mitsy | 🔞 (@MitsValen) reported

    @Tails_External @kaiiteaa Yes it is. But nintendo games are more family oriented and there's no big story to make the lack of growt seem like a problem, plus the characters don't even speak. But sega tried several times to give Sonic something serious and tragic like in forces or 06 >

  • CrustyNB Crust (Pikmin 4 😳) (@CrustyNB) reported

    The only problem is I'm not so sure Nintendo working with them will be able to fix Illuminations other major issues, mostly just being **** writing with all the tropes and **** jokes. But who knows I'll still see it cause cause my caveman brain gets excited when it sees Mario.

  • FrankyXop FrankyXop (@FrankyXop) reported

    @NintendoAmerica I'm playing Splatoon 2 until you fix the awful ranked matching and the bugs.

  • JWilley1980 JW1980 (@JWilley1980) reported

    @digrett @NintendoAmerica This “upgrade” pretty much ruins the game. I’m lucky to have a physical release so I reloaded vanilla with the update (have had no issues with update only). However I must note I completely deleted ALL saved data and game for a fresh install.

  • O_Macaroni Macaroni (@O_Macaroni) reported

    @massivetitty and i doubt nintendo would fix this mistake in future occasions

  • InfendoJustin Justin [✜--ⒷⒶ] Clough (@InfendoJustin) reported

    @Ballyman91 This is easily my favorite thing about the Nintendo Switch Online game service. Many of the games on it are ones I’ve genuinely wanted to play, but never wanted to spend the money on. Now I can boot it up, try it for five minutes, and never play it again without feeling bad.

  • Encrylix Encrylix | エンクライ (@Encrylix) reported

    @OrdinaryGamers Ohh that’s what the problem was Nintendo is shivering their Timbers rn

  • cahtlaydee ᴇᴍɪʟɪᴊᴀ 🤠 (@cahtlaydee) reported

    I feel like all of my problems would be solved if @nintendo had pokemon stadium or old pokemon games for the switch

  • patricknotirl patrick (@patricknotirl) reported

    nintendo wii broken

  • sxxxidal XX (@sxxxidal) reported

    ***** we knew these problems existed but you wouldn’t listen bc u only play $60 Nintendo games on launch

  • CMDRErekSprax Extra Life Mike 2022 (@CMDRErekSprax) reported

    Hey nintendo fans, does anyone have a copy of the music disc that came with the launch day edition of Legend of Zelda BOTW? my disc was not put away properly and when i found it, it was broken. I did not have the foresight in 2017 to put this on my computer and digital versions

  • digrett ⭐Digrett⭐ (@digrett) reported

    @JWilley1980 @NintendoAmerica Oh yeah, same here. Apparently people are claiming they've submitted reports to Big B and they claim there's a patch on the way... The reason for issues is allegedly the scripts for AE are running too fast and the game can't load them.

  • JWilley1980 JW1980 (@JWilley1980) reported

    @The_Musho @NintendoAmerica Actually like others have said it makes it even worse. Best to wait. I reinstalled mine back just to fix it.

  • mavezst mavez (@mavezst) reported

    @DazzlingDazzaD and cuz all of those are nintendo representations besides crash who doesnt even have a movie it feels like theres a bias for those always

  • JWilley1980 JW1980 (@JWilley1980) reported

    @PanqueConNueces @NintendoAmerica There’s an upgrade for 19.99…but I like other who already bought it say wait. The DLC literally breaks the game. Frame rate drops to 15fps in many areas and the awaited survival mode crashes the system if you get to freezing status. Definitely wait for a fix.

  • BillyHoWCR BloodofHeroes (@BillyHoWCR) reported

    @N1Domee @spartan523_ @PeterOvo5 Not the point again. Any potential earnings are unknown for the future of the franchises as they are early. Any opportunity by not venturing into a project has nothing to do with the premise. Nintendo sees no undo issue without COD on their system. Thus not a competing issue.

  • yeg_euler Steve (@yeg_euler) reported

    @zjlaing Joycon drift will come for you eventually. Nintendo extended the warranty on all joycons so it's a free, if slightly inconvenient, fix. Switch Lite doesn't have that extended warranty because the whole system has to be sent in. I had to argue to get free shipping and lower cost

  • Thatsmy91000715 Space (@Thatsmy91000715) reported

    @yggdrasilsaltar @NintendoAmerica Dude pls tell thats a WII U and not a broken DS that still somehow works

  • brxndybrxndy brandy (@brxndybrxndy) reported

    @NintendoAmerica I really hope that you fix the “not enough players” error so I can actually play the game that I spent $90 on and participate in my first Splatfest on Splatoon 3.

  • SteamDeckHQ SteamDeckHQ (@SteamDeckHQ) reported

    @Gecked_ @BlkGodTheGamer The problem is it isn’t worth $90, but it’s Nintendo so they can market the brand. I don’t think they should be compared.

  • lowmorality Laurie Strode (@lowmorality) reported

    @LifeIsStrange @Nintendo They had one job: fix Chloe’s dumb ******* run animation and they still couldn’t

  • chunkz1871 chunkz187 (@chunkz1871) reported

    @markwhi72845230 @PinguimTarado @PostUp_bbb The only way to fight is strategic buying because Sony nor Nintendo can’t win a money battle. Sony knows what it needs the most, FPS and live service games. Bungie is one of the top fps developers and will help bring life into Sony shooters. Ms can’t compete so they will pay2win.

  • StarrySash StarryAsh (@StarrySash) reported

    Nintendo why would I disconnect from a game when we won? why would that count as a loss?? Nintendo, please...
