    Get your **** together Super Nintendo World, your ride has been broken down going on an hour and 30 minutes.

  • _LuvLyn LYN (@_LuvLyn) reported

    @NintendoAmerica Minecraft barely runs on the console why would you release this **** 💀 so many problems on other platforms too, Bedrock is **** overall.

  • GodmasterBun Bun (@GodmasterBun) reported

    @CB4Smash Believe it or not I've seen a couple people talk about Crash in Smash 6, but to be fair most discussion has been towards newer Nintendo candidates like Noah and Meowscarada

  • chill__azhole chill.azhole (@chill__azhole) reported

    Nintendo fix your servers bro 🧍

  • saruboss0812 saruboss (@saruboss0812) reported

    I just don't think I m fan of path this industry is treading. Sony games have started to feel very derivative for me and soon they will have 10 live service games. Xbox games are hit or miss and Nintendo, while good games, just annoys me. Indies give me some hope

  • Maikeru014 Maikeru07 (@Maikeru014) reported

    @NintendoAmerica Only thing good about this version is portability Cons: Loading can be horrendous while crossing the ocean, you be waiting for chunks to load over 3 mins Don't fight the wither he'll lag the game like crazy making the fight unplayable with 10fps No custom skins

  • TooMuchEllie Ellie (@TooMuchEllie) reported

    As badly as I want a Nintendo switch I am thinking of doing an important investment on the channel: New CPU:*smoothier gameplay and faster editing and faster work for me in general* New Mic: Seiren X been having some issues lately, in case of mic I'd love to hear suggestions

  • RinoTheBouncer Rino (@RinoTheBouncer) reported

    @SinglePlayerUni @IGN But it would be a lot more practical, because then you wouldn’t expect to have dedicated games made for it, which was the main issue with PS Vita. There just weren’t any good enough games. Nintendo Switch worked because of the seamless transition between handheld and regular

  • poncho_playa PlayaPoncho (@poncho_playa) reported

    @morcly120 @hausofhomos @kidsmoove That only applies to Xbox…sir. Sony and Nintendo games and all multiplats sale more on their platforms. Not Xbox. Their sales are practically nonexistent bc they’re embracing the sub-service model. Every game produced by them is a flop.

  • TJF_x 🐢 (@TJF_x) reported

    Idk if it’s my internet or Nintendo but Splatoon has been lagging to **** lately

  • xX_girlhole_Xx rip @cishetman (@xX_girlhole_Xx) reported

    @Pokemon @NintendoAmerica why can't skeledirge use nasty plot pls fix this in the dlc heart kiss kiss

  • bluefranko_o Frank (@bluefranko_o) reported

    @frankie8dx @StillSoursss @NintendoAmerica hey other frank yeah for me it doesn’t really work either i struggle logging in even though my connection is good and when i login on pc all my purchases are lost to who knows where yeah i’m not playing it no more

  • jnlgame J&L Game | 11am to 8pm Daily 212-233-3399 (@jnlgame) reported

    @The__Goomba Unless Nintendo fumbles, I don't see Xbox or Sony creating a handheld that can compete with them, AND be deemed a profitable success for each respective company. Xbox may have an edge because they can make portable XBGP units. Sony doesn't have a similar enough service.

  • pierre485_ Pierre485 (@pierre485_) reported

    @AlinePiroutek @gamingmeanie Some evergreens have trouble to ship 1m in the FY, so of course smaller games aren't able to do so. Nintendo do share their figures (for every million sellers LTD) with CESA which publish them yearly.

  • NintendoGameBot Nintendo Sequels Bot (@NintendoGameBot) reported

    NIntendo Labo Crash Warped

  • nathandrake81 natedrake86 (@nathandrake81) reported

    @AgentShadowolf @GamesRadar They make AMAZING games. The problem is: they only make those every 100 years. That has been the story of Nintendo with their last 3 consoles. Buying a $250 system just to play a few great games it’s not worth it imo

  • down_tent down_tent (@down_tent) reported

    Not sure why people are upset with Nintendo Switch sports and Battle League. I mean they finally got their latest updates only after 6 months. ~ And unsure why many are pissed with BDSP Brilliant Diamond I had no issues with it.

  • down_tent down_tent (@down_tent) reported

    And as for my stance with Nintendo.... I have no issues with Mario Strikers Battle League or Pokemon violet nothing but good positive great vibes enjoying them. Don't care if they use the fix it approach with updates later. ~

  • OwenLLCfoster Palunetta Umbra goddess old sister to palutenas (@OwenLLCfoster) reported

    @PlayerEssence @TheNCSmaster Funny enough would Nintendo care about the steam deck issues yes but the switch is too much successful lol idk why people want power we are getting power just not yet also we are in the middle of a life cycle or at the end almost I’m tired hearing about switch this and that

  • deborah_c Deborah (@deborah_c) reported

    @KathrynTewson @courtneymilan @DevinCow I'm unclear as to whether he's trying to service Nintendo consoles that need citizenship, or to short-circuit the byzantine US immigration system by applying via Nintendo

  • supersega11_ Caleb (KALEEB) (@supersega11_) reported

    @StillSoursss @NintendoAmerica I’ve had no issues whatsoever

  • Dogfan50000 Fishyfishdish🐀 (@Dogfan50000) reported

    @NintendoAmerica The Mario pack makes my game crash

  • NadiZombieChu Nevi (@NadiZombieChu) reported

    Done with Joy-con drift... So I'm sending it to the Dutch Nintendo Support. Let's hope they can fix it!

  • HDHaZmY Hazmy (@HDHaZmY) reported

    @Strati_Gem I'm personally torn on this though I support both viewpoints. The problem in my opinion is that Nintendo is simply being indecisive, and they give false signs whether they want the game to be more competitive or more casual and the game just ends up being in a limbo.

  • MMike218 MCM (@MMike218) reported

    @PureDeadGaming I like that it was free but one N64 game I didn't care for like everyone else. I will say I don't have an issue with the graphics like all these people hoping it was going to be 4K 60fps. If this strengthens our partnership w/ Nintendo big A+

  • OatmealDome OatmealDome (@OatmealDome) reported

    Nintendo will likely prefer to not use this stage with this bug present. They need to either switch the Tricolor Turf War stage to one that is known to work properly, or release a last minute update to fix Mincemeat Metalworks. We’ll see what happens.

  • Park_spl Park (@Park_spl) reported

    nintendo needs to fix match making and each team needs to have around the same weapons like liter and splatterscope can be together because on some maps if you dont have that weapon/role and they do they win

  • Maikeru014 Maikeru07 (@Maikeru014) reported

    @StillSoursss @NintendoAmerica Also wither fight is Impossible with him blowing up blocks making the game lag like crazy

  • Fey_Fatale Fey Changed Her Handle 🧚‍♀️ (@Fey_Fatale) reported

    @morrthemerri_er @IGN Which is exactly the problem they would run into trying to get back into the handheld market. Right now Nintendo is the only game in town, but a lot of that is because they have always been the best game in town, and PS's last venture to handheld was famously a flop.

  • Mel_0_Dramat1c Tayto 🍀 | VtuberEN - Streaming Monday 8pm GMT (@Mel_0_Dramat1c) reported

    How many old 80/90's sitcoms have had the joke, "he can't even fix a car, he'd rather watch Star Wars/spend time on the internet/play Nintendo" or something like that? I want to think this is the next progression of that but in a 21st century context.
