  • Callum69294432 Callum (@Callum69294432) reported

    @PrimaveraVills @Thearoged That the problem with xbox even previous gens have bad momentum when Nintendo is kicking your arse you should start to ask why

  • patricknotirl patrick (@patricknotirl) reported

    nintendo wii broken

  • Saturndaymrning Joby (@Saturndaymrning) reported

    I understand the Switch Lite and Switch OLED solves the issue of Nintendo Switch Scarcity, but it very quickly becomes a problem where people with multiple Switches already end up getting multiple OLEDs and Lites

  • ToggledRT Toggled | BLM (@ToggledRT) reported

    @JackaryDraws "realistic": either Sora or a new to smash nintendo IP, maybe Crash?. thats the 3 I think have they highest chance of getting in. most wanted: 2B. like please NieR is sucha good series and having 2B bring in a pod/weapon change mechanic could make her such a complex fighter.

  • Thor_Carmine Thor Carmine (@Thor_Carmine) reported

    @arrokudatime @NintendoUK Doesn’t matter that’s just another meaningless fan rule that was broken back in smash 4. Remember Corrin and Roy two fighters from the same series were added to the dlc with only a 8 month gap between reveals. I don’t know why your so pushy about this are you afraid?

  • JollyJadenTNT JollyJadenTNT🆖 (@JollyJadenTNT) reported

    @Porky_Draws ngl, while it's very small, sans might actually still have a chance to be CP11. Like, I'd be so hyped. Problem is, some people might see it as scummy that Nintendo put a sans Mii before a sans fighter. But still...

  • DrakoNests Aster💕 (@DrakoNests) reported

    @DrakoNestss Besties, How did you play Animal crossing aren't your nintendo switch is broken? {#⃣}

  • CamoCat_ssbu Camo (@CamoCat_ssbu) reported

    @GeorgeOD_ Omg this is so broken pls Nintendo nerf Pythra by nerfing gyro. That is the only way to fix this completely game breaking combo.

  • Puppetsama 塩Saline水 (@Puppetsama) reported

    @JackaryDraws Realistic: Another non-Nintendo IP Most wanted: A Nintendo IP, preferably Waluigi. I played smash for the Nintendo characters. The DLCs have been pretty disappointing for me tbqh. Though I think my heart's just been broken since they made B&K so awful.

  • Lyndis_ Lyn! (@Lyndis_) reported

    @DreMeMoTo IMO he's just not the same without Goofy or Donald by his side, though I think people overexaggerate the issue with getting Goofy or Donald in Smash in the taunts or whatever else considering Nintendo's resources and everything else they've managed to pull

  • JoGoTheVO Josh Gordon - Voice Actor/Concept Artist! (@JoGoTheVO) reported

    @hawkatana @mk_aln9 @nintendolife Sakurai picked the characters long before the chaos at AB. Sure, both Crash’s publisher and developer are owned by AB, but the hell does it matter? By the time Crash is revealed, if he is, you already bought the whole pass. Besides the money would TECHNICALLY be going to Nintendo

  • KrisMCYT Kris ⛏ (@KrisMCYT) reported

    @IntroSpecktive the problem however is nintendo changes the name of the presentation after the fighter showcase is over

  • Scribe_Light Scribe Light (@Scribe_Light) reported

    @AdamR8400 @NerdCaveRetro I think I have the issue of Nintendo Power in my closet somewhere that has a tip on that...

  • AccurstMaiden Valeria ❀ (@AccurstMaiden) reported

    I believe it is very likely that the last character will be either Sora or Crash Sora bc itll be an "out of nowhere" impossible smash pic, like banjo, so ofc nintendo wants him Crash bc same thing + Activision uses it as a way to avoid controversy

  • KewlLewie Lewis Ibarra (@KewlLewie) reported

    I'm honestly grateful to Nintendo for putting the series to a permanent end just before Sakurai finally leaves the company and goes independent. Even if he wasn't, I'd have serious issues.

  • Nintenderek Derek Deputy (@Nintenderek) reported

    @darkhunterx90 Crash Bandicoot seems possible, although at this point I think Nintendo would try to avoid it if possible due to what's going on with activision. I want Lara Croft as much as the next person, but two square reps in one pass seems unlikely. An RE/Capcom rep is very possible.

  • psych0boost tintin (@psych0boost) reported

    Really wish Nintendo went the virtual console route again instead of attaching their older games to their online service

  • BlankSamuel samuel blank (@BlankSamuel) reported

    @dannyphantomdi1 @Dylan_T_Clark @Nintendeal But that was a different time and even though Activision hasn't changed nintendo is pretty good at working with 3rd parties maybe Activision learned there lesson with crash and Spyro.

  • Kazoorion Kazooinyan (@Kazoorion) reported

    @subzerosmurf Technically, we DO get Nintendo games, but not from Nintendo themselves, but from LATAM which is the official LA distributor that imports them straight from USA. The problem? they overprice their products (Switch cost $500 while Switch games are 75)

  • kyle_gruba KyleG (@kyle_gruba) reported

    @growthbible_ Nintendo Switch is broken so many ways for me.

  • NowSquid SquidNow (@NowSquid) reported

    @elliotduby Doom, Sora, Crash or a Valve rep If nintendo then porky or andy

  • ShortRhombus Dave (@ShortRhombus) reported

    .@NintendoAmerica I have five Switch Pro Controllers. All five have the same problem: the left analog joysticks are malfunctioning. How can I get all of them fixed?!

  • xenloaf pluto {{hyperlink blocked}} {{Spamton enthusiast}} (@xenloaf) reported

    Boutta disconnect my Nintendo 3DS so I can download halo faster /j

  • FeelsGioMan G i o (@FeelsGioMan) reported

    @samsonite_d If it’s Nintendo property, Waluigi. I’m sure they’ll have a work around to disable him as an assist trophy while he’s an active fighter. 3rd party, Sora, Crash, Spyro, or an Xbox property. But if we’re being realistic it’s probably a fire emblem character.

  • UmarYusha3 Umar Yusha (@UmarYusha3) reported

    @DemandNotice @Puertorock77_ @officialwups is that why Nintendo are still doing so well right now coz they dont put their games on a service and pc day one . Even Playstation are doing great

  • GrandLineVersus JustHere (@GrandLineVersus) reported

    @_jackieFreeze Personal opinion, a character who has a seriously low low LOW chance of getting in is Spyro. This is simply because there’s no way Nintendo or Activision would choose Spyro over Crash.

  • tjohansen98 Trey (@tjohansen98) reported

    if im paying extra money for N64 online Nintendo needs to bring their A game with the service, talkin like AT LEAST 3 games a month per system for N64 and Genesis. but who am i kidding? it's got Banjo on it, I'm going to pay for it. And I'm going to finally achieve happiness

  • gordoniankid gordoniankid (@gordoniankid) reported

    Why does the Switch have error codes that apparently Nintendo themselves don't list on their site. Error Code 2801-7000 "This social media account cannot be used."

  • glutenacht glutenacht (@glutenacht) reported

    It'll have to be a very big IP, so Nintendo can assert dominance, so Deltarune goes in the Mii bin too. Waluigi? Mii trashbin. Reimu? You jest. Tracer? Why would Nintendo help Blizzard fix their dying game?

  • dannyphantomdi1 dannyphantomdesireefan (@dannyphantomdi1) reported

    @BlankSamuel @Dylan_T_Clark @Nintendeal Activision denied both crash and spyro from being in playstation all-stars because they wanted a ridiculous amount of money, they would most likely demand all of Nintendo's money just for mii costumes and i highly doubt Nintendo would agree to that
