  • Accound2nd LittleManiac #BLM (@Accound2nd) reported

    Soo did nintendo fix the joycons yet

  • JELKK11 Jalen (I'm FREEZIN 🥶) (@JELKK11) reported

    Can crash be exclusive to Microsoft Playstation AND nintendo? Asking for a orange friend.

  • hithenameskatie K (@hithenameskatie) reported

    Nintendo have crash bandicoot and I’ve just discovered this. See ya next year.

  • hilarious_feg Hilarity #SonicInLATAM (@hilarious_feg) reported

    @PlayerEssence Are we forgetting that Xbox frequently collabs with Nintendo? Just like how Persona games release on everything but Xbox, I feel that titles like Crash or Spyro will begin seeing releases on everything but Sony. But I could be wrong lol, just look at Minecraft.

  • vyasrushi3 vyas rushi (@vyasrushi3) reported

    @Bman923 @The_Vboy @Nibellion Consoles? Last time I checked Playstation and Nintendo holds more than 70% of the Console space.....they are putting games on Welfare pass, stop denying the reality that MS is trying to force their Sh*tty service on everybody

  • mbur82 MB82 (@mbur82) reported

    @glassbottommeg There's plenty of people doing the hard work though. Say Nintendo buy Analogue, give them PPU docs to get FPGA 100% perfect, put a ROM service frontend on the OS, profit. Next Switch revision integrate the FPGA and all of a sudden you have the biggest and best BC in the business.

    @FortniteStatus Nintendo switch players cannot log on fortnite it says loged out or says fortnite has been log out try aging later pls fix this as quickly as possible i cant play the update

  • Sisf0 Sisf0 (@Sisf0) reported

    @HvVideoStore @jasonschreier It's not monopoly, but for sure has some antitrust issues, this deal caps the market against other competitors. I'm not talking about sony or nintendo, but for example affects EA competition. I think the deal will go on, as finally crunchyroll acquisition by sony suceeded

  • DededeSucc Dededesucc (@DededeSucc) reported

    @NintendoAmerica Thats King Dedede's problem not mine

  • loganator817 Loganator817 (@loganator817) reported

    @PlayerEssence I don’t really think this effects Nintendo that much if they keep at least prying crash and Spyro games out on there cuz they seem to only be trying to go after Sony and Nintendo it’s still very strong outselling all of them I could be wrong tho

  • nyourbhsiness Noneof Yourbhsiness (@nyourbhsiness) reported

    @Halo 343, bro how come everything you've touched with Halo infinite turns to feces? I'd say you have the midas touch but no, you have the opposite. You were heralded as the golden lamb due to Sony and Nintendo not having anything to compete with. Fix the game. See you in 9months.

  • My1xT My1 (now with 3x 5g reception) (@My1xT) reported

    @SpacePokemon941 @JoeMerrick Like i don't see why it's an issue that some people don't consider it a main game. In fact has the concept of being main series or being side started by Nintendo or has it started by fans? Like several terms that have been started by fans they can be very interesting.

  • Tiirshak Catriona Colville (@Tiirshak) reported

    @monkey_spice Going back to my time as a teenager right now and playing Mario Kart 64 (this time on Switch) with my older brother, but I'm not gaming much right now due to health issues. My 3 main consoles right now are Switch, PS4 and XBOX Series X. I Was a Nintendo fan, but now mainly XBOX.

  • patricknotirl patrick (@patricknotirl) reported

    nintendo wii broken

  • BlackSaiyan97 The GodFather (@BlackSaiyan97) reported

    @Banyashaa and besides they aint trying to get in trouble with Nintendo

  • spacefunkyarp MOVE YOUR CAR‼️ (@spacefunkyarp) reported

    given that this is a british studio founded during the microcomputer era, it does not shock me that burton is so deadset on crunch. rare historically had the exact same issue going thru its nintendo days

  • T0minator_ Thomas Peña (@T0minator_) reported

    @MohamedBahr1988 Their investment recently is a direct response to the minimal investment in the last generation. It needed to be done especially with a service based strategy. Sony and Nintendo have had steady investments since the very beginning

  • RyNoMeansNo RyNo🥱 (@RyNoMeansNo) reported

    @_castled @NintendoAmerica Heading to the N64 expansion pack for the online service. Paper Mario was put up last month!

  • thatretrocode Edward Varnell | Boss Rush Network (@thatretrocode) reported

    @WizCoPow Yep but I just got back on. I went to Nintendo Support and chatted with them and they help me get it back on. It's working now but I moved my games to my OLED. Get in touch with them about the problem through chat. It may be helpful.

  • karobit Matthew Cole (@karobit) reported

    @kshipwhitecat specifically calling out Crash makes me remember the original ads where Crash was outside Nintendo HQ with a megaphone & how dumb it would be if MS did that again at Sony’s HQ

  • GageWrites Gage J. Tolin (@GageWrites) reported

    @SjwSpiderman They said that COD is the only big franchise that Activision Blizzard owns, as if WOW, Diablo, and Overwatch don't exist. Yeah, like you said, if the exclusivity were an issue then Nintendo would be in trouble; heck, maybe even Sony would.

  • BigShowRooIz Alex (@BigShowRooIz) reported

    Any real fighting game would be patched to fix these problems. Nintendo would rather sit on their piles of cash while brainwashed consumers trip over themselves to defend their favorite brand.

  • DJK1NG_Gaming DJK1NG_Gaming - Ayakashi Triangle 🔥! 🇭🇹 (@DJK1NG_Gaming) reported

    @CrispsCold @shinobi602 Taking Activision and Blizzard away means nothing to Nintendo. They barely got the Crash and Spyro remakes. And Overwatch 1 and 2 are the other two. Barely anything worth it.

  • noxnoisy ⭐Nóx⭐ (@noxnoisy) reported

    @TheCGDL oh the controller is alright the fact that the buttons are the exact oposite from nintendo's is completely messed up I'm playing pc games with my switch controller and have problems because of that

  • taebstrash (¯´•._.• 🎀 𝓉𝒶𝑒𝒷𝓈𝓉𝓇𝒶𝓈𝒽 🎀 •._.•´¯( (@taebstrash) reported

    @maxer137 Nah not working, it’s an online exclusive thing from Nintendo

  • aIveskue k-ue (@aIveskue) reported

    @JuiceMan_V @PlayerEssence Yup. And that's bad for long term, because customers will think that games should be "free" because Gamepass. Sure, Gamepass is a cool service, but it only works the way it does because MS is trilionaire. It ain't sustainable for Nintendo nor Sony.

  • ColinKeenan8 Colin Keenan (@ColinKeenan8) reported

    @DreadfulDredge @swshriv @Xbox You are missing the point, Microsoft is not planning on quickly recouping 70 billion by selling cod back to Sony. They want Sony ponies subscribing to THEIR gamepass service. They are not doing business like Sony or Nintendo.

    @gamesyouloved My mom threw away my entire Nintendo Power collection dating back to the third issue 😩

  • Optical_Wonder Red (@Optical_Wonder) reported

    @Ann3Her0 Yessss—the Wii U had some decent exclusives too. EVERYTHING is getting ported to the Switch, and most ports aren’t even the best—like, Nintendo, just make some new stuff, pleeease. Fix the battery life, fix the joycons—there’s so much I could ramble on about with performance. 😤
