  • otm_woods Brad Woods (@otm_woods) reported

    @RocketLeague @BacktotheFuture I bought this car (and others) on the Switch and it won't carry over to other systems. My custom cars do. Is this just Nintendo doing Nintendo stuff, or is there a plan to someday fix this if possible?

  • Innthacut Joe Smhoe (@Innthacut) reported

    @MightyKeef He also said he isnt going for games that Sony is going for. It would be like saying "Nintendo is lagging behind games with realistic graphics". Nintendo doesnt go for games with realistic graphics so obv they will be lagging behind. Same concept, they are doing their own thing

    @IReburs You deserve to know product information, so let me tell you the complex issue. So, in the Japanese Wii U version, Fatal Frame: MoBW had 2 lingerie-style swimsuits. Nintendo told Koei Tecmo to censor these, and they were replaced with Zero Suit Samus & Princess Zelda cosplay. But,

  • zippedbinders Ready for Fall Ted (@zippedbinders) reported

    @NonTrotski Success is a relative term for Nintendo. Xenoblade DE and Origami King launched within weeks of each other. Nintendo has 0 problem competing against themselves. They're also publishing 4 JRPGS between Nov '21 and Mar '22.

  • SonicfiendSmash Shockques Casketllanos! (@SonicfiendSmash) reported

    Puts in for a job application hiring to demo products in retailers plus customer service. Gets contacted by Nintendo rep. Wake up early for the phone interview. "So we do require a valid driver's license in order to transport products" Why was this NOT in the description FIRST.

    @NintendoAmerica Fix your online connection, and lower your online prices, stop being so greedy! This wouldn't have happened if Iwata was still around, but here we are!

  • majesticalballs NB King Bombeardo: King of laser beams (@majesticalballs) reported

    i literally own like pretty much every single nintendo 64 game that i'd ever want to play and have it sealed tight with my nintendo 64 console, why ******** would i pay for a ****** nintendo service when i could just emulate that **** for free at 4k?

  • KurapikaShinji KurapikaShinji (@KurapikaShinji) reported

    @Paras_is_god @CarlosCruz0608 @NintendoAmerica I didn't know. In french, we don't have such problem with abbreviate it "***" without it being a problem ;)

  • purplemage572 Purple 紫の (@purplemage572) reported

    @DoesPichu @TriforceZard @NintendoAmerica Idk about "Sadly" cause I've asked literally everyone that I know IRL and they have no issue with the price. And no, not all of my friends are financially stable all the time.

  • sk8er4lyf24 Michael liguori (@sk8er4lyf24) reported

    @DyingLightGame Fix co-op on nintendo switch you cannot invite friends when you try to join your friends game through find a game you get a error code? Why say a co-op game if you can't play co-op with your mates

  • skubish Hatdude (@skubish) reported

    @ShackLife With the recent piracy of Dread, do you think Nintendo is going to start pushing cloud gaming and online based service like NSO. Personally I think they are clueless when it comes to online so I think no.

  • annafunk 👻 AHH!-na Funk 👻 (@annafunk) reported

    @polerin Have you looked in to jobs at PlayStation (or Nintendo, Xbox, Valve, etc)? I love being on this end of the game industry, because even though I'm not working on games directly, the culture has the same feeling and appreciation for games, but with Tech Industry pay and bennies.

  • zhenjie1999 zhenjie (@zhenjie1999) reported

    @Respawn @PlayApex really tired on Nintendo switch japan server. cheater banned then new account again and again mouse, aimbot everywhere broken matching system often matching only 2 player a team To avoid fighting with these cheater need to non stop matching 30 min then only can play one match

  • Putrid_Moldyman womp womp (@Putrid_Moldyman) reported

    @NintendoAmerica could yall PLEASE have the #metroiddread team fix that bs double jump ability in their next update? I swear, I've missed ledges more times then made them in fights because the window to make the second jump is so incredibly small. PLEASE FIX THIS.

  • SoloJustus SoloJustus SORA IS IN SMASH LET'S FREAKING GOOOOOO (@SoloJustus) reported

    @FireStormFox1 @NintendoAmerica That sounds like a you problem, dude. Idk how it's pointless for them to advertise a product for those who have the console and for potential buyers who are able to find a console in stores just because you specifically can't find one lol

  • Innthacut Joe Smhoe (@Innthacut) reported

    @MightyKeef Obv they will lag behind things they dont go for. Nintendo lags behind games with realistic graphics. Nintendo also doesnt go for games with realistic graphics so naturally, they will be lagging behind. Xbox doesnt want to copy Sony. They want to do their own thing. You're wrong

  • patricknotirl patrick (@patricknotirl) reported

    nintendo wii broken

  • ScyBlade ScyBlade (@ScyBlade) reported

    @rabbidluigi @NintendoUK Yeah, those have caused her more problems than anything that could directly damage her.

  • BousfHearts Omar ❤🎮 Cold Steel IV (@BousfHearts) reported

    @CavinPAnderson I'm not that much of an extremist, I've always had no issue going back to lower-res stuff like my Nintendo 3DS but yeah, this looks great 👀

  • FaithLaneAuthor Faith Lane (Kate) ✝️💜 (@FaithLaneAuthor) reported

    One time, I called the bank, and I got this nice guy on the phone who helped me with my account problem. He then noticed I bought Nintendo games and proceeded to talk about gaming. It was wholesome. He also noticed I was anxious about my account and took time to calm me down.

  • livingagainfo jake (@livingagainfo) reported

    @mkoehler13039 @rsms @NintendoAmerica Yeah the problem is scalpers, not “not buying it soon enough”

    Nintendo offers a $50 optional online service that adds N64 and Genesis games plus DLC for Animal Crossing on top of everything that the $20 option comes with and people get pissed. Meanwhile, Xbox is gonna sell you a larger hard drive that costs more than THE ******* CONSOLE!
