    @nintendolife I really loved my #NintendoWiiU. The main issue was the lack of games for it compared to previous Nintendo systems

    @NoonNoodle WHEN LUIGI SPITS THEREBIS RED IN THERE WITH WHITE AND AS A ROLE MODEL FOR CHILDREN I THINK THAT RAISES A ISSUE IF CHILDREN THINK that DEFINES DENTAL HYGINE THEN NINTENDO SHOULD BE LOCKED UP

  • serperior83 . (@serperior83) reported

    @khfan1989 @NayrmanBSC I have a gut feeling that Activision would be one of the most demanding companies for Nintendo to work with, so I didn’t think Crash/ Spyro would be likely for Smash anyway.

    @Xploshi @Nintendo They will never come, just like the fix for joycon drift

  • marcus_richert Marcus Richert (@marcus_richert) reported

    @FlorentGorgesFR Florent is aware of this, but since the tweet remains I want to issue a correction: the photo is most likely from 20-40 years after Nintendo was founded. I've talked to two Japanese bicycle experts about that bike, neither believes it could be an 1889 model.

    @UnknownWorlds @Subnautica Please fix this glitch on Nintendo switch when I load my subnatica save file it crashes my game please fix this gli as soon as you can.

  • kevinyveltal kevinyveltal (@kevinyveltal) reported

    I've been thinking, since the Nintendo network service is still a thing somehow, isn't it useless now? Literally it's only use is to download games and free software on the 3ds, use the eshop on the Wii U, and add funds which can be linked to the switch.

  • PitchAFett Aaron BURRRRRRRR ❄️🍦 (@PitchAFett) reported

    @Inspecter797 I think it would actually benefit Apple more to buy Nintendo, build the Switch successor on Apple’s tablet technologies, and load their streaming service with big budget Nintendo content the likes of which has never existed, like Pixar-equivalent Mario and live action Zelda.

    @ernieforesta @PuckinSassPot But I beat tetris with a broken Nintendo controller.. that equal? Lol

    @rayofvenuss @NintendoAmerica @Pokemon it obviously has some issues with the frame rate and just filling the world with more pokémon which will hopefully get fixed in the year they have but overall i’m reallyyy excited and i think the new legends series has a lot of potential to be explored in future installments

  • TheRamenDon TheRamenDon (@TheRamenDon) reported

    Probably going to have to use PTO to take all of E3 off (maybe plus the day before and after) to make sure that I'm not working during Nintendo's conference. This is because all time-off requests have to be made three weeks in advance. Thanks for not announcing your **** Nintendo

  • PavichOP Pavich (@PavichOP) reported

    @NintendoAmerica fix the online..... this is messed up....

  • barht9 barhtr6 (@barht9) reported

  • Balkanain AXLEP (@Balkanain) reported

    @CB4Smash It seems impossible to have crash 4 dlc, with the drama of toys for bob. And 28 days before the Nintendo direct, there is ONLY ONE OPTION:#Crash4Smash

  • wonton_soup2 WONTONSOU🅿️2 (@wonton_soup2) reported

    @HadesOmega22 @evrythnNnothn AAA games cost hundreds of millions of dollars to make these days and if we want more quality games, then a price increase is understandable. Funny how Nintendo fans never complain about spending $60 on 20-30 year old switch ports, but a NEW AAA game at $70 is an issue.

  • detroitotaku TheDetroitOtaku (@detroitotaku) reported

    @FrankfSinatras Nintendo actually removed the lingerie from Fatal Frame in the West due to a licensing issue.
