@ianhamilton_ @Sweet_StrokesSt @gamemakerstk But Nintendo here isn't just the platform, they're the publisher. Metroid is their IP. Most gamers will never think of Dread as being made by anyone but Nintendo, so they had a ton of opportunity here to do anything on this issue.

@m_rizky_gumilar @TheMaractusMan @nintendolife I don't hate Nintendo, but they have issues like every company. I do hate that some people treat Nintendo like a super family friendly company that can do no wrong.

@TheNCSmaster @PlayerEssence I rarely buy day one/preorder unless it's a quality Nintendo game these days. Anything else I'll wait for a sale. The games are usually broken on release anyway

@Juni_Crossing @animalcrossing I seriously need to get a Nintendo Online Service. I would love this recipe. What's Shino's personality? Maybe I can get it from one of my villagers.

@Bariq99999 @Sagadego171 It's not just games. It's a person who is growing an account to use it for profit. And she does that by claiming she is an insider and using naive people. I dont care about nintendo leaks. I am a ps5 owner. I find telling lies and take advantage of the naive a problem though

Hey @NintendoUK I uninstalled super Mario run from my iPhone and just re installed it for some nostalgia! It’s weirdly now created a new ‘user’ and won’t let me connect to my Nintendo account. My tickets, buildings etc are also gone! Error 804-3985

@FortniteGame I am having an issue where my nintendo switch friend won't show up online. His online status is online every time he plays and he has his party privacy on public. Please help!

Nothing screams “we care about the spirit of copyright” like spending millions threatening fan artists while simultaneously stealing their work or using it as free advertising when it’s convenient. Cool AND consistent! (this isn’t just a Nintendo problem. IP law is broken)

What's a game you're sad will never see a re-release because of licensing issues? Mine is Mike Tyson's Punch-Out!!. Plus I wish Mike Tyson would get the respect from Nintendo that he deserves. He helped sell a massive amount of those games.

@GameXplain As much as I want to, I’m still not paying $60 on the Nintendo Switch Online Expansion Pack until Super Smash Bros. 64 gets added to the service.

@jpellis2008 Yeah, that would have been a problem for me, too. Not a single power bar anywhere in the house. Probably good I went the Nintendo route then as they never really went far into the bolt-on media accessories. The GameCube GBA cart adapter is the only one I know of.

@NintendoUK I just bought Ori and the Will of the Wisp on the nintendo eshop for my Switch. But there seems to be a bug where the melee attack doesn't always work. Do you have a fix for this?

@Grail12013 @BrutalDeluxe3 I have the A B problem with the Switch. Never had a Nintendo console growing up. Was an Amiga then Sega kid so it's very alien to me

@Kavemanx420x @ScufGaming Yeah, hopefully they hold up for you! What annoys me is that Sony makes you pay out of pocket for warranty replacements (unlike Nintendo with Joy-Cons). I just can't believe, in 2021, these tech giants still can't solve the problem of drift.

@Hogisto @JoeMerrick It was the first main line Pokémon game to be given attention on a current Nintendo platform (The Switch. Don't mention let's go as it wasn't marketed nearly as heavily as SWSH). Of course people were going to buy it. Problem comes with what they see after doing so.

@legionzero @syrencove @DASBUNKER Even Microsoft and Sony experienced sales losses during this time. Can't exactly explain why without knowing all of the nuances in the video game market at the time, but this wasn't an issue specific to Nintendo, and they knew that.

@RaraCool04 Not everyone that plays on switch(or any other console for the matter) want to play online tho On that end switch doesnt seem to have issues And while I do agree who gets the console, parents are more confident on Nintendo for their kids, than others At least thats what I've seen
