  • GaIateaa__X eric (@GaIateaa__X) reported

    hope the next half of nintendo 2021 has bayonetta 3 and crash bandicoot coming to ssbu on the horizon

  • uhfrank Fʀᴀɴᴋ 👀 (@uhfrank) reported

    this isnt a fact, but to me, all of their IPs & ideas ive loved have either degraded or have died out over the years, & thats ok, thats a me problem. maybe i just got franchise fatigued or my tastes changed. its just disheartening because nintendo always had my favorites games

  • HornetSIayer Femboy Hornet Slayer (@HornetSIayer) reported

    are we just gonna ignore the fact that Skyward Sword could defined use some improvements as far as controls go and nintendo is going to fix those with the release of Skyward Sword HD?

  • TheShadwNinja11 A Wolf who loves birbs (@TheShadwNinja11) reported

    @KikomasterBlue I felt like this direct was good, we may have not got any news on games we wanted but we learned we will be getting news soon and other announcements for games and parts. I may not be the biggest fan on Nintendo rn with the joycon issues but seriously Twitter being ungrateful

  • NamesRHard2make Not So Torque Anymore (@NamesRHard2make) reported

    Me broken hearted about Etika saying he would never see how attack on titan ends and all these Nintendo directs. While currently both are happening

  • jason5lee Jason Lee (@jason5lee) reported

    @Redmission22 @MSFTGameStack @FallGuysGame MS Hater: MS service only supports their own device it's a monopoly. Also MS Hater: MS supports Nintendo? LMAO.

  • Henryjeromekni2 Henryjeromeknippling (@Henryjeromekni2) reported

    @MaskedAnimation @NintendoUK No problem!

  • KSmarties KSmarthouse (@KSmarties) reported

    @DeppMarlo @NintendoUK I know Joy-Con Drift is an unfortunate problem, but to use it as a reason why it will be worse is illogical and price has no impact on quality. It's got the controls people wanted, it's finally crisp clear HD and Fi going on about battery life will be far to no issue at all.

  • theRaychul Raychul Moore (@theRaychul) reported

    Was gonna stream Bowser’s Fury today but looks like my Switch dock has finally given out. Been having issues w/ it for months, but it no longer recognizes when my Switch is docked. 😢😢😢 #Nintendo

  • RaceMySoul Clank (@RaceMySoul) reported

    Previous rant expands to a greater issue where Nintendo fans only know how to swallow corporate ***. Skyward Sword is a game that I have never seen be praised at all when it came out years ago, but people will eat it up now as if it isn't gonna be the same exact game as before.

  • BassnUke Paradigm kid (@BassnUke) reported

    Still no left handed mode for Skyward Sword, yet another grand lie Nintendo had told and when they had the means to fix it, still did nothing about it

  • jjrxtn El JJ (@jjrxtn) reported

    Wtf @Nintendo another anime sword fighter in #SmashBrosUltimate ? No Crash? No generic Fortnite guy?

  • TenkayHyena Hyenrir (@TenkayHyena) reported

    Nintendo needs to stop implying we all have working joycons when they know there is a drift issue.

  • Ashidonut pyra brainrot (@Ashidonut) reported

    i would be SOOO hyped for the new zelda joycons but the fact that nintendo CHOOSES to ignore the drift problem makes it hard to be excited lmao

  • Sammy_Swagner Sam Wagner (@Sammy_Swagner) reported from New Haven, Connecticut

    @GameStop Nice, now I can drift in style. @NintendoAmerica when will you fix your broken controllers? ...... What's that? You're just gonna keep selling them? Cool.

  • BacklogBecca Becca (@BacklogBecca) reported

    @That_Juan_Gamer If Nintendo had remade crash 1) they wouldn’t have remade it to look as good as it does now (or improved the gameplay in 1) and 2) would’ve had three standalone releases at $60 a piece

  • MrManhog Flandogthemandog (@MrManhog) reported

    @bandicootpage @NintendoAmerica That new fighter sure was something huh? Welp, time for a massive mental breakdown due to the fact that Sakurai is never going to add crash in smash and would add almost anybody else but crash bandicoot, the only true person I really want in smash.

  • Joe10172005 joe (@Joe10172005) reported

    @BraveGallade Another sword fighter, wow nintendo completely original, adding crash or eggman would have mad everyone super mad nintendo nice job 😡

  • Ragnaric1 RagnaricTheGenius (@Ragnaric1) reported

    @WuWuBean @Joneyology @NintendoAmerica But that’s not an argument, people likely hate Crash and Sora, yet you guys want them there, and what makes Sora different from Pyra?

  • StochasticOoze Ankle Megami Tensei (@StochasticOoze) reported

    @anyprophet I'm having trouble thinking of a significant black character in a game that's been on a Nintendo system Probably a bunch of fighting game characters And Barrett Is Nessa black?

  • IssaSoda Kiwi (@IssaSoda) reported

    @LyokoGaming Not fair to the ones who completed it and can’t even get a chance for the pins!! Nintendo definitely need to fix this.

  • Kenbron_James Kenbron James (@Kenbron_James) reported

    @BylethVEVO @UltraPikmin @videogamedeals Its 10 dollars more than it was 10 years ago. How is that not a problem? Yes its expected from Nintendo, but I'm not seeing how that makes it any less of a ripoff

  • HollowHugs Olivia :) (@HollowHugs) reported

    @AmericanParrot @NintendoAmerica fair enough, if it aint broke dont fix it, in this case very broke

  • BoyRobino RobinoTwiterBoy (@BoyRobino) reported

    @PJiggles_ Yo P hear me out, ur Dutch right? I am too and i had the exact same problem 6 moths ago, i went to the gamemania, asked what was wrong, they said i had to send it to a nintendo repair thing, fixed it. Boom €60 is sted of €340.

  • phoenixprime1 Phoenix (@phoenixprime1) reported

    @yt_fuzu @AustinJohnPlays Again, Nintendo online is a total mess. You can't even play Smash on it without lag or it being unplayable. One sequel to a game isn't gonna redeem the whole company in the eyes of many

  • zingo110_nerd Zingo110 (@zingo110_nerd) reported

    Hear me out on this... Yes, I know some of the mechanics of the game were later reintroduced in BOTW, but there is one glaring error I can never forgive... Remember the "song of the hero" glitch? The one nintendo had to make a "save data update" channel on the Wii for?

  • nomelihp_1012 Philemon (@nomelihp_1012) reported

    @DemeechYT I think you need to understand that a console won’t be successful if you don’t have a variety of content. Nintendo’s past financial issues were a result of neglecting this. The Wii only had causal content and that doomed the Wii U.

  • Shadiclaw UncookedLasagnaNoodle (@Shadiclaw) reported

    @NintendoAmerica Nintendo+Sakurai+Sora LTD+Bandai knows they can give us any character that we don't want and milk us for the dough. Them: You want Sora, Crash, Waluigi, or another classic Nintendo character? Well here is another anime sword fighter instead...Fans: *whine* fine here's our money

  • KrazyBroo Krazy (Splatoon 3 King) (@KrazyBroo) reported

    How to fix Nintendo - remove every connection with Xenoblade - remove Pyra from smash - release Botw 2 info - stop FE development - release Splatoon 3 faster - redo AC new horizons - replace seph with crash Learn how to run a company @NintendoAmerica

  • TheMaractusMan Blubbe (@TheMaractusMan) reported

    @Kirvyx @NintendoAmerica I mean, it’s probably a legal thing. Would be a lot of trouble just to make one drawing
