would like to take the time to say that if somebody were to, hypothetically, pirate a nintendo game, it would not be the biggest issue in the world.

People wondering about copyright issues! We have a proper legal team, nothing has been developed. Without consulting them! This project won't face any issues. Be it from Nintendo or Opensea or any other company

@ShoozTV There needs to be a line drawn in The sand. Like when you boot up a system agreeing to not cheat should be in Nintendo, Sony and Microsoft’s terms of service.

@NintendoAmerica Just bought a new OLED one coming around Jan 11th. My old one is broken. 😔 Soft crashes and awful drift issues

So to explain my Nintendo switch problem. My switch was on low battery. So I put it in sleep mode. I place it in it's dock and nothing. Did my switch battery just kill itself? As of this tweet it's been in the dock for 3 days.

@NintendoAmerica For a few months, my wife and I can't connect to each other's systems with a local game. It didn't matter which game or which system sets up the game, the other system can see it, but immediately gets an error saying the game is no longer available when we join?

Wait some people unironically think Nintendo's N64 and Genesis service is worth that? I thought it was a joke

If Nintendo's N64 service didn't already sound awful to you I just wanna share that it crashed on me and I lost hours of progress in Paper Mario 64 even though I saved in game multiple times before the app crashed.

@BettisMarquiss This is why I kinda fell off of Switch Online games. You get in trouble for Nintendo's incompetent online

@DaJanTRO @nokia @NintendoAmerica Nokia main issue was the same thing that made it a leader at that time, making a variety of phones in the same year (one with full keyboard, one without cameras, a gaming unit, a flip phone… etc) Apple started the trend to make one phone a year and just redo it next year…

@nintendolife Nintendo have solved it themselves. Been using the Zelda joy-con for months now and not an issue. Seems like they fixed it for newer builds

Hey @NintendoAmerica I found a bug in Paper Mario 64 on the Nintendo Switch. If you hit the pine trees just southeast of the Save block in Shiver City it causes the whole game to crash. I’ve been able to repeat the issue. I allowed the Switch to share the report too.

@ZhugeEX Aren't some Nintendo games available via a subscription service on other consoles in China? I know some games can be played on Nvidia Shield.

@InnerslothDevs @NintendoAmerica Say it with me now. Grape. Is. Not. An. Inappropriate. Word. Now fix your name restrictions. I shouldn't have to name myself 'Grayp' just so I can use the name I want.

@PS4Revolution @IGN I don't think anyone is surprised by that.Nintendo is a pretty ****** company. It's enough if you just watch how they handled the warranty of their broken joycons.

@ModernVintageG My theory is that Xbox don't wanna get into trouble with Nintendo or Playstation. Hence they turn it off for safety

@swshriv @NintendoAmerica You lost me at ‘more n64 service games’ The ‘games as service’ model needs to end. Subscriptions are no substitute for buying a copy of a game. Nintendo needs to open a cross-generational storefront - like Steam - for their old games or ****. I’m done subscribing to everything.

i sent a joycon into nintendo for repair ( R button not working) and i am amused that the "repair" is £8 less than a brand new one. It was only just out of warranty too... i guess the joycons are a 2 year item ? i had xbox controllers for *years*

@tribandtweets Hey guys. Love the game. I don’t know if this is intentional, but hitting the chicken guarding the box in area 05B too many times causes the game to crash on Nintendo Switch. Is that intentional?

@Blackimmortal0 @hard8_times To not include Nintendo or From Software shows ur opinion shouldn’t be taken serious. Sony had no problem releasing Driveclub, Days Gone, Returnal in their state. Sony have Naughty dog and Santa Monica but thats it

@BottleOfScrumpe Nintendo gets a lot of **** for their gimmicks but they at least give many of their studios time to flesh out a finished product that usually doesn't have ****** microtransactions. They just need to fix their online ecosystem

There have been some Amiibo distribution issues in Europe over the past few months, so the double months are due to that as well, though Nintendo wants to aim for worldwide launches. So the actual dates are still in question.

@CapcomUSA_ You're not gonna try and copyright claim people's YouTube videos like you did a few years ago right? This gives me flashbacks of Nintendo's awful program that outright STOLE from creators and used illegal tactics to fix the YT DMCA claim system. This better NOT be the same thing.

@thatgamecompany did you know that your user agreements (Terms of Service (TOS) & Privacy Policy) are truncated in Sky: Children of the Light on the Nintendo Switch? I.e. I can't see text after the first page.

Last night my nintendo switch did not want to turn on or charge so I thought something was broken. After I sent an email it started charging just now.. wtf?! How am I going to explain this in the reply ._.

Also, I’m very upset Nintendo didn’t take the time to fix multi hits. Tired of being in advantage get an up air, they fall out and I get punished for choosing a correct option. Even after 2 years of retirement and coming back **** still pisses me off to this day endlessly
