    @DescendentSaGa @epsidawn @DistantKingdom My problem is you lack proof of high budget, and aaa game or not isn't the point lol. Even past the launch year Nintendo Switch still has high Software attach rate, and that's obviously a good thing lol. But high console attachrate doesn't always mean high software sales btw.

  • pauLabOmbz pauLa bOmbz (@pauLabOmbz) reported

    @kedoguop9 @CadenKnox4 It’s 2021 - they’re listening regardless lol but I understand your fear. But I guess that risk goes with everything. You can have the same issue if you buy a Nintendo switch. Or an Xbox.

  • doubleamr9 Double-AMR_9 (@doubleamr9) reported

    @JGSF64 Maybe we’ll get lucky and get Kaijuu Daikessen on the Nintendo Switch Online service.

  • RichJSocial Jadon Pruitt (@RichJSocial) reported

    @TitanfallBlog Can someone please help me I’m new to playing apex on Nintendo switch obviously because it just came out be the issues I have is the sensitivity and controls what are the best controls and sensitivity for the game that is similar to PS4 because I need help...

  • Alexand85778210 AlexanderMora (@Alexand85778210) reported

    @SageofFire1 @DeusSomnum @DPPt_Shitpost But also, I ll admit I kinda dislike most Nintendo 1st party games on the switch except breath of the wild and three houses and I hate their online service too and ain't worth playing so, take that as you will, but alright is fair.

  • ButtChungus420 ButtChungus420 (@ButtChungus420) reported

    @nintendolife @NintendoAmerica Where are these games on the Switch Online Service?

  • Zota206 ZӨTA (@Zota206) reported

    @DKsTie64 @starrenegades sad. Hope there is something positive soon as I learned they were trying to resolve the issue with Nintendo.

  • JmoneyGamer2 JmoneyGamer (@JmoneyGamer2) reported

    @CilanSteele I wish Nintendo would acknowledge it as a problem

  • kamuidr0me kevin k7 propaganda (@kamuidr0me) reported

    i read the suda issue of nintendo force and i am now once again scared for what is gonna go down in nmh3

  • Clawnyan Clawnyan but Pokemon brainrot (@Clawnyan) reported

    @TheOldIronQueen @Mat_Croft @WholesomeMeme this isnt even as bad as NINTENDO Also, the pieces arent exactly cheap to make. It's noticably higher quality compared to the non-lego brands. Believe me, I've rarely ever had to deal with broken parts with the only exceptions of clips and towball socket joints

  • Nerd0king Nerdoking™️(On Hiatus) (@Nerd0king) reported

    @GlaxonXIII @witnessbrandon True but I I think the real issue is gamefreak is the studio which isn’t the biggest. They just sold the console rights to Nintendo but I don’t believe Nintendo funds anything.

  • DankinTwitch Dankin (@DankinTwitch) reported

    @Respawn @NintendoAmerica I am a big fan of Apex being on my favorite console The Nintendo Switch, but I keep getting error code 100 and i dont know how to fix. Please help I am a big streamer. I used 3 different accounts and i still get the issue :)

  • XbOne_WiiU_PS4 Winter Mario (@XbOne_WiiU_PS4) reported

    @RogueCompany @HirezOps Please fix crashes on Nintendo Switch version. There another console and PC versions also crashes lots.

  • Sh4rknado Sharknado (@Sh4rknado) reported

    @its_menieb @NintendoAmerica Hey, I think you meant to put the 2021 direct on the left side? Please fix this.

  • harmonykaysmith Harmony Smith (@harmonykaysmith) reported

    I can tell yuh a Nintendo Switch hasn’t solved all my problems but it’s surely made them more tolerable. 👌🏼

  • McSlothyy McSlothy (@McSlothyy) reported

    Anyone on the nintendo switch try apex legends out yet? im having insane input lag on all controllers and ive restarted/changed hdmis and everything is it the settings in game?

  • DuplicateRed RedDuplicate (Buy Miitopia for switch) (@DuplicateRed) reported

    @RaymanForSmash I'd like to say. E3 is coming in a few months, and whether nintendo is participating or not. Hell even if it's happening at all. They probably still have a 2nd huge third party up their sleeves. I'm saying this now, it's either crash or ray man. Those are my 2 logical guesses.

  • timbsy83 Timbsy83 (@timbsy83) reported

    @efboli @Respawn bahaha again. Broken record. Nintendo do not release the same thing as Sony or Microsoft. the same that Sony doesnt. Nintendo could sell a home console based on their own franchises. but then we could have full experience games from 3rd parties. Not cut down 540p crap

  • TwistedOverride Twisted Override (@TwistedOverride) reported

    @3wojis @MetroidMike64 @NintendoAmerica How did you fix it?

  • junio_se Junio Serroni (@junio_se) reported

    @Fraud_City @NintendoAmerica @PlayApex Probably she is asking the same thing while staring at the 404 error

  • FromGamersMag From Gamers Magazine (@FromGamersMag) reported

    Excited to share that Issue 1 will feature of review of @jasonschreier’s upcoming book Press Reset! This review will be handled by @JakeFreeDieHard! Here’s a bit about Jake: "I'm a self-proclaimed Sony Pony whose been around every console since the Super Nintendo...

  • kzarkz kzarkz (@kzarkz) reported

    @PlayApex @Nintendo Fix the game, there’s no arc star indication

  • gotumms146 Christian Dugué (@gotumms146) reported

    @Xxiety11 @NintendoAmerica @PlayApex Nintendo isn't Xbox, you need a membership to Apex, it's free. Poor Xbox users had to spend money to play Apex until recently. Must have realized the error after PlayStation players told them about it

  • TheAngryOldGeek The Angry Old Geek (@TheAngryOldGeek) reported

    Hey! @NianticHelp game will not load. Game is crashing on load. Game is crashing saying authentication error. So much for #spotlighthour this week. @NintendoAmerica @PokemonGoApp

  • jesterthaclown 𝓙𝓮𝓼𝓽𝓮𝓻 (@jesterthaclown) reported

    @zerocritic @Anything4Orbs @NintendoAmerica crash is more popular than xenoblade

  • YorsTrooli_Aori 🦑Everything Callie🦑 (@YorsTrooli_Aori) reported

    @AgentAyeJay @NintendoAmerica @Nintendo Yeah. I remember this being a really bad problem during Splatfests, where I'd be the highest-level player at 35 or so, while all the opponents were 50* and such.

  • NullTheDevil Null (Permanently inactive) (@NullTheDevil) reported

    @NintendoAmerica Can y'all fix the joycon drift issue instead of advertising a new game please? The community has been asking forever for this to be fixed

  • JoeCool_WiiU Mr.Switch™ (@JoeCool_WiiU) reported

    @YorsTrooli_Aori @NintendoAmerica @Nintendo The problem with the level matchmaking is mostly the waiting. It would be hard to do especially in Splatfests. Even more so with themes that one side has 70% votes.

  • FLUDDtech N. Sane Jesse (@FLUDDtech) reported

    @MetroidMike64 @NintendoAmerica Probably. But might work better than new if it had a similar problem that's been perma-fixed.
