    Good lord, Sony may have a Soy problem, but no gaming company has such a ******* indecisively vitriolic fanbase like Nintendo. Didn't get what they want? Temper tantrum. Get something that some of them want? Temper Tantrum. Satisfaction? ZERO. Ingrates.

    @TOXIKAIJU I agree i was totally hyped then broken down when i saw him on todays nintendo direct saying hey you prolly thought i was gonna talk botw 2 but nah thats later

  • frankattano кто там на болоте орёт (@frankattano) reported

    @NintendoAmerica Did you fix the drift?

  • crimesinparis Crimes in Paris (@crimesinparis) reported

    @Inferno026 @NintendoCanada Having this issue as well. Spoke with customer service several times and unfortunately the only solutions were to refresh and log-in and out. Under the 'Rewards' tab I have 14/15, but "Missions" show 15/22. Prior to 3 PM, the pin set was marked as "Complete"

  • iamashelton 🎙️Anthony Shelton🎙️ (@iamashelton) reported

    Also glad Skyward Sword HD will let you use buttons, but Nintendo needs to fix the Joy-Cons before releasing more. Maybe these might be improved? Also, becoming cynical of these HD remakes from Nintendo that turn out to be resolution increases without texture improvement.

    what's the issue of nintendo directs?

  • PKer6d9 Pker6d9 (@PKer6d9) reported

    I'm calling it now, Nintendo switch will be the final straw that breaks apex legends servers for good. I'm kidding y'all, hard to break something that's already broken. #theshadeisreal

  • starrylotus pink woozi syndrome (@starrylotus) reported

    why are nintendo fans so salty like whats ur problem :/

  • katventute katventure (@katventute) reported

    @Rykeon @spencerlanium @jph_anderson That doesn't make Nintendo less greedy, if anything it just makes them as bad as disney with how they sell films in their online service

  • MountainDewd66 MountainDewd (@MountainDewd66) reported

    @PaniniPancake @NintendoAmerica I was really hoping for Crash Bandicoot. Missed a huge opportunity with Crash 4 releasing on Switch next month.

  • rodaemonn pamparaa (@rodaemonn) reported

    @Venom__Spit @SkillUpYT i think the problem is that nintendo always get away with their ****** business practice, while playstation and xbox are frequently bashed on the internet for their "anticonsumer" decision. tbh for me nintendo is worse than sony's $70 games for ps5

  • llsamuellucall llsamuellucall (@llsamuellucall) reported

    @charles79360650 @RetroKetsu @NintendoAmerica bad quality is the real problem here

  • jultar1000 JULTAR100 (@jultar1000) reported

    @Kryptidd1 @Haminations @NintendoAmerica Does sora himself belong to Disney? That whole issue honestly confuses me

  • awsumsas AWSUMSAS (@awsumsas) reported

    @ReasonEddie @NintendoAmerica HOLY **** YOU'RE RIGHT It's a shame Walleye Warehouse probably won't be in this game, so it won't even see its biggest problem get fixed.

  • Inferno026 Dreamcaster (@Inferno026) reported

    @crimesinparis @NintendoCanada Yes I think the culprit might be the Canada Exclusive Mario Trivia not counting towards the pin for whatever reason. Hopefully they can fix this if that is the case.

  • mathew_llamas Mathew llamas (@mathew_llamas) reported

    @Lofflesly @Zeraki_Krieger @NintendoAmerica Dang, over a year with my pro controller and no issues.. maybe your getting defective units?

  • degradingfire han 🥀 (@degradingfire) reported

    ONE HOUR TIL GOOD TROUBLE SEASON 3 PLS DONT LET ME DOWN LIKE THE NINTENDO DIRECT DID

  • Moccassin Daniel C (@Moccassin) reported

    I have 99 problems and a Nintendo solves them all

  • Olly_Clay Oliver Clay (@Olly_Clay) reported

    @PlayerEssence I mean, no judgement for people who want to get it. It's just the ever returning problem with Nintendo's pricing, that deserves to be critised /shrug/

  • UrbanOwlNYC Feathers, Esq. (@UrbanOwlNYC) reported

    Goddamnit Nintendo you really ****** us on this direct. Where's my Crash Bandicoot?

  • DarkLeelan31 (Jamie) Jag_6 (@DarkLeelan31) reported

    @charles79360650 @RetroKetsu @NintendoAmerica Yeah, the drift is a known manufacturers issue Nintendo is already being sued for. If ‘treating out stuff good’ helped, there wouldn’t be a problem in the first place, LOL. Research before idiotic comments

  • MMMoMedia Mo (@MMMoMedia) reported

    Love it when there’s remasters of Crash Bandicoot and Spyro games that took a considerable amount of time and money to develop get a $40 MSRP price and Nintendo brings a game from ages ago that has no changes aside from upscaling the format, improving the frame rate, or...

  • nathanisbored1 nathanisbored (@nathanisbored1) reported

    i thought the "motion plus" was supposed to fix all of these things, but all it did was make it more dynamic, potentially leading to more jankiness. when i started playing skyward sword, i was immediately like "why is nintendo obsessed with motion controls i hate this"

  • cookiefonster cookiefonster (@cookiefonster) reported

    as far as im concerned nintendo directs are just free excuses to post broken switch tweets

  • hunterguire windsweptginger (@hunterguire) reported

    nintendo constantly putting out online games when they have the worst possible online service is just laughable at this point

  • LowKeyTony_69 King of Unfunny References (@LowKeyTony_69) reported

    @Kotaku I'm kinda mad that Nintendo ignored major fan requests like Waluigi, Crash, and Dante. BUT Pyra/Mythra is a cool pick, and I'm not against their inclusion.

  • dankopus Dr. T.I.M. (@dankopus) reported

    @Azurahson @JoeMiller101 well, given that the same company was responsible for the haptic feedback features as well as nintendo's HD rumble, it seems like drift has something to do with the rumble features. Meaning it could be just as much of an issue.

  • Vox_Hominem VoxHominen (@Vox_Hominem) reported

    So, I filed a request with nintendo to fix the drift issue on my switch controllers. They said they'd let me know, eventually, when they can assist... spent $30 and replaced the thumb sticks... no more drift!

  • Inferno026 Dreamcaster (@Inferno026) reported

    @TEllinidis @crimesinparis @NintendoCanada Yes but it should considering it never stated it doesn’t count. It seems to be a error.

  • AndreaMN199 andreams (@AndreaMN199) reported

    @MaxDenki1 @William_FT @Calerios The only problem i see is that i smell atlus having a deal with sony for the persona main persona games, and that would make it very hard to ever get those titles, what we can expect on nintendo is shin megami but the western market is not that into it as the japanese is
