  • MiniPeaBoi The Scientist (@MiniPeaBoi) reported

    @RoverPlush Glad to be of service (Also you might want to download it, cause you nintendo with their OSTs*

  • RandomA37679047 RandomAccess (@RandomA37679047) reported

    @GamerMagmu @DStazz @k1ng_mang0 “Another game coming this year” and there lies the exact problem, instead of half assing the games to make the deadline every year, they should take the time to make the games full and fresh, like many other Nintendo franchises

  • GavinMc74 GavinMc74 (@GavinMc74) reported

    Wife just told on phone by @ups_uk that label was delivered Friday (second time). We have NOT LEFT THE HOME. What is going on?!?!? Hi @NintendoUK , we're doing what we can here but the courier is causing horrendous problems. Will our repair still be valid please?

  • ChrisGamerDude Chris Likes Games (@ChrisGamerDude) reported

    @BringBackBanjoK Tonic Trouble may be an obscure video game but Ive heard it's like a 3D Rayman game like Rayman 3 concept and it follows like an Banjo Kazooie game where you talk to posts and others in game, may want to try it out if you have a Nintendo 64 system somewhere.

  • HylianHero83 🗡🛡Tarnished Hero🏹💣 (@HylianHero83) reported

    @GameSpot PlayStation or Nintendo putting games on a service day one wouldn't make any sense they'd be throwing millions of dollars away. Also Xbox doesn't put out games frequently enough for that to really be used in a comparison against another service.

  • joelvill20 Joel (@joelvill20) reported

    @rizzchit @Shreeveera Not true, I'm one and used to be a Sony fanboy, used to only have playstations and Nintendo consoles. But I only bought Xbox since I couldn't get a PS5 at first, now I have a PS5, but use it just as much as my Series X and Switch lite. So what's the problem with being neutral.

  • DesComms Des 👾 (he/they) (@DesComms) reported

    @soliketf Like its one thing to sell something to a few people but setting up websites etc is a giant target. Like yes you technically created the product but the character is not yours. Its like how Nintendo has no problem getting stuff shut down

  • snowmanandlila snowman (he/him) (@snowmanandlila) reported

    Does anyone have a Nintendo switch controller or a broken Nintendo switch I could take some parts from?

  • Shoccer_ Shoccer 🌸 (@Shoccer_) reported

    @Bushb0y @AidenRS139 yea sure this game is great but my issue is that I got it for switch. next thing i know: game crashes controller drift everyone looks like toilet water low fps the things you expect from a nintendo switch

  • GeoPrinny GeoPrinny / Geodrax Arehal 🇵🇪 (@GeoPrinny) reported

    @Ret2ModGaming @AboutNintendo Cause spoilers aren't really reportable? Like, they are just annoying af, but i don't see how they could be reportable as a legit issue against Youtube ToS. At worst, you could report it for leaking stuff, but that's mostly up to Nintendo and he gets early copies legally IIRC.

  • RedRavenXD CrimsonDXRX (@RedRavenXD) reported

    @WorldsXbox I don't see it that way: I had no problems with the 360 & The One arrow upon the red ring of death/still needs work does it make a difference for this one 🤔 Everything needs to have an upgrade time over time just like Nintendo and PlayStation everyone can see that.

  • Dinomite333 Dinomite (@Dinomite333) reported

    @kingbearries @SquishiverseNFT @SappySealsNFT No problem! There are also tons of utility for slime, such as WL spots and raffles for WL, NFTs, and IRL stuff like an Xbox and Nintendo Switch. Not to mention there will be ingame items releasing, so I think slime is only scratching the surface!

  • idesofmerch Merch of V. Nice (@idesofmerch) reported

    @CestUnRat No one has as much of a problem making music on the GBA than Nintendo themselves. Second parties didn't have an issue, third parties didn't have an issue, but for some reason the people who made it just couldn't get it.

  • TrackTony1 BiggerTony1 (@TrackTony1) reported

    @GamerDadKMO I’m currently waiting on a new cartridge reader to fix a new Nintendo 3DS Black Friday edition

  • MichaelMayne Michael "and I do drawrings" Mayne (@MichaelMayne) reported

    Nostalgic for the days when I waited for the next issue of a gaming magazine to drip me some deets on the next Zelda, Final Fantasy, or other weird JRPG or beat-em-up I'd yet to hear of. PSM, EGM, Gamepro, Nintendo Power. The champs.

  • prowlerX74 Prowler(open for commissions) (@prowlerX74) reported

    Today I'll be making a hashtag regarding the current state of #Nintendo. I figured someone had to, and that'll be.... #Freeonlineforever If anyone else feels this way...I am hoping you will support this hashtag hoping to make Nintendo see the errors of their greed.

  • Gilbertbelieve2 Giants Called Me, ALOY! (@Gilbertbelieve2) reported

    @M3owsterChef @GameSpot It would be BETTER forz Xbox to deliver gaming experiences like Sony and Nintendo that way they might actually actually care to adopt a quality first mindset. But instead you lot are pleased with mediocrity in a subscription service. You get what you pay for.

  • MikearoniGrill Magic Mike 🧙‍♂️ (@MikearoniGrill) reported

    @Chewybaby3 Hey.... I melee fought these bosses on 10 other characters LOL MY DAD works at Nintendo!!! my controller was broken.... etc

  • Scorpion1000335 madsociety20294 (@Scorpion1000335) reported

    @NintendoAmerica @NintendoCoLtd @thetruebowser I thought about it if Gameboy to Gameboy advance games comes to Nintendo switch online service then maybe the Wario Land franchise will be popular again. I love Warioware get it together but the Wario Land franchise is just better.

  • DaiGurrenCobalt Cobalt (@DaiGurrenCobalt) reported

    NOOOOO NINTENDO WHY DID YOU REMOVE THE GLITCH

  • patricknotirl patrick (@patricknotirl) reported

    nintendo wii broken

  • MonsterMcBurger Julian Lang (@MonsterMcBurger) reported

    @NintendoAmerica I can’t believe you got Earthworm Jim 2 on the online service!! #GROOVY!!

  • DDSeudonym DDSlashed (@DDSeudonym) reported

    @McFinnaPants most of the best versions are nintendo DS ones and it could be annoying to...uh...,dust off the old ds you know? if thats the case you can skip right into 11 no problem, order matters very little and all of them are consistently good, its not like 11 would ruin the old ones

  • TheSandman777 TheSandman (@TheSandman777) reported

    @Shreeveera Agree. MS never really cared about innovating. Didn’t fix something that wasn’t broke. PS controllers just started getting good from PS4 for me. Hated the sticks and triggers of earlier dual shocks. Dual sense is Sonys best controller yet. Nintendo in a corner playing with blocks

  • ChowderGumball TazoGumballChowder #NewDeal4Animation 🌟 (@ChowderGumball) reported

    @ThisIsADictator Man that sucks. Sorry that happened to you. From what I understand though, they should be able to fix it for free if you send it to Nintendo.

  • RealPixelStreak Sonic Sez Watch #SonicMovie2 (@RealPixelStreak) reported

    @ItsNeon2401 I mean why not, I think this could be a cool idea. Yeah not everything needs to be a crossover but what's the problem for this to be a crossover. The only huge Nintendo crossover is Smash so what's the problem with another one.

  • ShadowlessTwil1 Shadowless Twilight (@ShadowlessTwil1) reported

    @corey2thegraych @Wario64 Ps is doing what Nintendo is doing. They probably want to get rid of virtual console stores. PS3 and vita can still buy ps1 and ps2 games. When they close you’ll have to subscribe to the new stream service or find them in the wild. It’s all money of course

  • PedroAGMYT AGM (AquelGamerMexicano) (@PedroAGMYT) reported

    @Drag00nnight It is case by case, and person by person. Because i mean Nintendo Kart is the common one, and i honestly don't see why, after almost 15 iterations of Mario Party, i don't see what would be the problem with expanding it to Nintendo.
