    @VideoGamerMarx @NintendoAmerica Links not working

  • kaetzchita kätzchita + (@kaetzchita) reported

    @funnyti86127904 @SYACVG not to say i'm a nintendo fan, i ******* hate nintendo, but i think it's important to bring the hammer down on the right troubles. i don't think a few too many red joycons is the right trouble.

  • VGTomO Tom Orry (@VGTomO) reported

    @Chris_Dring Nintendo should have asked Crash Bandicoot to get Tony on the Direct. He's the decision maker now it seems.

  • DreamChaserInk Ink (@DreamChaserInk) reported

    @System9509 rather than make the joycons more quality, Nintendo will make you pay to fix their badly designed joycons oof

  • raycornwall Vampire Kermit the Frog aka Ray Cornwall (@raycornwall) reported

    @SjwSpiderman Is he going off about Sony exclusives? I mean...why not go off about Nintendo or XBox exclusives? Why is it a Sony thing? I hate exclusives too, and I understand making a decision not to buy into a platform, but it's not a moral issue, is it?

  • TEXcrimsonstorm Crimson (@TEXcrimsonstorm) reported

    @NintendoUK Tnxs crash i guess

  • Triforceriku_ Triforceriku (@Triforceriku_) reported

    @SYACVG I read this as Nintendo, as in the company, having an issue with all the red, so my thought was "Just make them not red"

  • LozSucks Loz 💙 (@LozSucks) reported

    @ConcernedApe @NintendoAmerica @NintendoUK can someone push the approval through pls? Xbox and ps4 players have had the bug-fix already and us switch players are jealous 😭

  • kent_spurs G (@kent_spurs) reported

    @NintendoAmerica Just don't try and play split screen on it, will be a super lag fest!

  • StratusAsterion Stratus (@StratusAsterion) reported

    @GenosPapa Looks like Crash Bandicoot has some pull with Nintendo after THPS's tweet to them yesterday XD

  • Henry13043664 Henry (@Henry13043664) reported

    @NintendoAmerica Well looks like the conversation of Nintendo,Crash Bandicoot and Tony hawk was canon all along

  • PointyyESM pointy🆖 (@PointyyESM) reported

    @ninja_muffin99 oh yea absolutely. Nintendo switch eshop has a shovelware problem so even if that was a joke a port is very achievable

  • johnothetree Jøhnø (@johnothetree) reported

    @SwagWithWheels nintendo online service LMAO

  • Unruly_plus Issa Wrap!! RDNA3!! (@Unruly_plus) reported

    @akahmiii Nintendo wouldn't allow their competitor's online service to be on their platform.

  • HowieBlatz Pope Blatz XIII (@HowieBlatz) reported

    @NintendoAmerica Though considering the issues with XBox and Dualsense controllers I guess it isn't very exclusive at this point is it.....lol

  • JRPG_Junkie DeAndre🏳️‍🌈🏳️‍🌈 (@JRPG_Junkie) reported

    @So_Ethereal My problem with the Smash community is that they can be sooo annoying😒 Its like everytime Nintendo makes an announcement, you get those people begging for some character to come to smash or being like FreeMelle. Really wish they would shut up sometime.

  • koikro55 Fenmouse🌻✨ (@koikro55) reported

    @multbasa If Nintendo didnt fix drifting on the handheld with which they literally cannot be changed after several European lawsuits, there's absolutely no ******* way they're going to fix it now.

  • rewrittexn Becoming Tori 💫 (@rewrittexn) reported

    @katealemon My only issue is I don’t have the Nintendo online so if I were to restart I would want to store my stuff somewhere you know? Also I don’t want to lost Stitches 😭

  • Nathan28471601 Nathan (@Nathan28471601) reported

    @Nex988 @JELKK11 @Canadianguyehh Therefore they were not sure that the inclusion of Crash in All stars would give them money So to benefit they asked for an immense amount of money and Sony rejected it, currently Activision has become closer to Sony and Nintendo so negotiating would not be so complicated so->

  • eCockpit89 Ethan K. (@eCockpit89) reported

    @NintendoAmerica Nice, hopefully you rewarded Crash Bandicoot for his help in this endeavor...

  • Shadowsonic141 Shadowsonic14 (@Shadowsonic141) reported

    @NintendoAmerica Crash did Tony a favor, now it is time for @NintendoAmerica to do @CrashBandicoot a favor by giving him the invite.

  • SweatMyTM87 🌹Inspired Condescension 😘 (@SweatMyTM87) reported

    @PhivesSSB Some people do not have ethernet hookups. Some people don't want to shill out more money for an apparatus nintendo should have included in the damn system. "I don't like playing against lag online so you need to change you behavior". **** that.

  • 0Capsule Capsule-Kin 2.0 (@0Capsule) reported

    Like for real i remember seeing people being mad at Nintendo for the skyward sword being sold at full price. But now sony bad guy because of censorship. Don't get me wrong censoring games when there is no real issue is stupid. But also acting like because the other group isn't-

  • FinalSmashGamer Final Smash Gamer (@FinalSmashGamer) reported

    @kirbykoopa2 The problem isn't Nintendo fans. The problem is Zelda fans.

  • iamsailordrew Sailor Drew (@iamsailordrew) reported

    concerned. I'm not aware of any other title having such bad issues in the Nintendo community, nor did I have that experience with any other game. I just hope that the next gen console isn't when some Nintendo exec will finally address the Switch control problems, promising us

  • No_Limit_Gamer Lord Jamar (@No_Limit_Gamer) reported

    @FlynnBotJus83 @XcloudTimdog Xbox does not need to be Sony or Nintendo that’s the problem with you types you been feed something for so long you think there is no other way to skin the animal and Xbox has exclusives is never stopped having them 1/2

  • CrazyVGFan1 CrazyVGFan (@CrazyVGFan1) reported

    @CaseyTheVA @NintendoAmerica What does Crash have anything to do with this?

  • Deathstranger Anthony (@Deathstranger) reported

    @THEREALRTU Definitely is ridiculous for a $80 controller they cheaped out on the very components that Nintendo is currently dealing with lawsuit issues over

  • NStagnitti Nick Stagnitti (@NStagnitti) reported

    Alright @NintendoAmerica. Please train your customer service reps more properly.Just spent almost an hour and a half on the phone to set up a repair. Repeat questions and talking in circles. Get better!

  • Tony_Ttek Tentatek 🦑SPLATOON 3!? (@Tony_Ttek) reported

    @ans743 @NintendoAmerica At your service sir 🤝
