    @CB4Smash I doubt it, He just say that he want Crash in Super Smash Bros, is his It right to say what he want as a Crash fan as well as in charge of giving his voice because at the end of the day you only gave your wish and Nintendo I do not think that you will censor an opinion

  • SadisticProphet The One You Love To Hate (@SadisticProphet) reported

    @JustinPG4s @OtterBox @Xbox That sound like a Playstation and Nintendo problem.

  • bi_unicorn_ Sam “ACAB” Batman (@bi_unicorn_) reported from Manassas, Virginia

    @softhoneypot Nintendo fixes joycons for free. There should be a link on their website and they’ll give you a shipping label to print out. Send them ******* in and they’ll either fix them or send you new ones.

    @NintendoAmerica @InnerslothDevs @AmongUsGame to play among us online on Nintendo switch it doesn’t even work keep showing error messages and I keep getting kicked out of server won’t even let me play game online at all....

  • TheRetroRoomRoo The Retro Room 🎮🕹🎬🎥 (@TheRetroRoomRoo) reported

    @JoeCool_WiiU @DestroWod I feel like if I was trying to make money from this, it would be a different story. I might have a problem with that as a company. Like people have tried to sell bootleg copies of my game. But in the end nintendo can make this game and profit big time. It's hard to feel bad.

  • NDragon1412 NDragon1412 (@NDragon1412) reported

    @JonComms Put the Monster Hunter back in Smash! ... Oh, right, he never was in. But you still have time to fix that, Nintendo!

  • aehrraid marc (@aehrraid) reported

    @mken_2 i will be reporting you to Nintendo for violating their terms of service. have fun in prison dumbass

  • EditionAlt moonior (@EditionAlt) reported

    @TKOWL_Art Nintendo crippled him with the clown car However since it is cool this isn't an entire problem

  • westen30 Martin Smith (@westen30) reported

    What is Nintendo's problem? Why are 4/5 year old games still full price?

  • DoctorWhhhat Doctor What (@DoctorWhhhat) reported

    @MacFan2410 @Frozen_Cum @NintendoAmerica I mean joycon drift is always gonna be a problem

  • Joshuarulesyou Joshymew (@Joshuarulesyou) reported

    @OsoheCastle I just sent mine in for the same problem, Nintendo repairs them for free because it's a flaw in their product <3

  • SamDawg13 Sam Dawg (@SamDawg13) reported

    @MojangStatus I am still having problems with it on my Nintendo Switch. Is anyone else having this problem.

  • PotsyJK TGG | PoTsY (@PotsyJK) reported

    @SuludeSmash The connection is pretty much fully dependent on your connection to whoever your playing and forgoes nintendo's servers And while there isnt much competitive integrity to this aspect, the host experiences no lag and as long as the person connecting isn't too far and has a good-

  • quinnoranother Quinn (@quinnoranother) reported

    I’m looking forward to practicing in another competition, but this Joycon drift issue really makes me want to sue Nintendo. I really hope I don’t forget to fix that hidden ability when the competition is over, since my team is locked until then.

  • nikrrabbit 🖕👽🖕Biden's Reptillian Overlord (@nikrrabbit) reported

    NO MCDONALD'S WIFI! You don't have a good connection, don't come. Please follow the rules because it's to stop crashes not because I wanna be mean. 🙄 I'm trying to sleep so please do not crash the island. Check your speed on your Nintendo Switch Settings. Anything NAT A/B. 😴

  • FlufffyMonkey Braelyn (@FlufffyMonkey) reported

    @TooTallTinaK Right?! Xbox and PS4 over here charging monthly, nintendo has a monthly service. I personally love subscriptions. Especially when the startup cost is high but you can get in easier with a subscription!

  • syrupvhs ™️ (@syrupvhs) reported

    @Dmc63613 @dreamland_happy @crossingchannel The problem is the community hypes itself up, often without any evidence, then gets mad at Nintendo when what they got hyped up about doesn’t happen. “It’s been 56 days since a Direct, the 35th anniversary of Zelda is 21 days away. 35 + 21 = 56. New Direct next week confirmed!!”

  • wayneisboss wayne (@wayneisboss) reported

    @darkclaw643 Ye, I knew about the Nintendo characters but sadly the biggest problem for me is definitely the gameplay. I know a lot of people really like Ultinate Alliance, I just always thought it was boring

  • wifesimulator royal protector ******* attano (@wifesimulator) reported

    thinking about playing ace attorney on my nintendo ds lite. the problem of course being that this is not fire emblem, or dishonored, and i cannot afford to think of three things at once, and—most of all—none of this is being employed

  • SimplyHoodie SimplyHoodie (@SimplyHoodie) reported

    @Yuriofwind Bro! You just ate 4 bucks worth of games! Think of the one month if Nintendo's very not good online service you could've bought!

  • yeehaw_energy ✨ Julian ✨ (stressed era) (@yeehaw_energy) reported

    Nintendo fix your servers challenge

  • PrincessCorrin 🌸Princess Corrin🌸 (@PrincessCorrin) reported

    @AzelfandQuilava Unfortunate indeed, but yeah. I just noticed you *need* to sign in to a Nintendo account now I actually switched out Feral FCorrin for Legendary since she's pretty much a glow up in every department, even being the same color/weapon type, but yeh. Monch time

  • welcome2nutland Coconut man (@welcome2nutland) reported

    @JCeretor @rpsyco1 my argument was that there were barely any good triple aaa games that utilize the online service making it complete garbage, and also nintendo games use peer to peer for online which is outdated and insanely laggy

  • HyperCamm because tweeting counts as activism (@HyperCamm) reported

    I bought minecraft on the switch so I could play cross platform with my bf on his PS4 and I genuinely regret not just buying him the java edition and setting up my computer at his house. This game is broken, like almost unplayable. I'm not even surprised anymore with nintendo.

  • KING_CHEESEpng Ramito (@KING_CHEESEpng) reported

    @NintendoAmerica Nintendo, i hate your ******* online service. thanks for reading

  • DestroWod Destro WOD (@DestroWod) reported

    @TheRetroRoomRoo @JoeCool_WiiU and making something genuinly good, i think its more than fine. If the person want to profit out of someones work, then sure, but if its made out of fandom for free and they put in the game "characters created and own by Nintendo" then i see no issue.

  • darkclaw643 Ryan (Darkclaw643) (@darkclaw643) reported

    @wayneisboss From what I heard the PS2 version is the best version of the game though if your problems of the game is more about gameplay then not sure gonna help that much but still, also the Wii version was gonna have Samus and Link as guess characters before they were cut by Nintendo

  • ViancaPacheco Vianca (@ViancaPacheco) reported

    When is Nintendo gonna fix the joy con drift problem? I don't wanna use a wireless controller and hold my switch between my knees like a TV mount anymore. 👵
