    @TheAsraLover @NintendoAmerica When I played SPM and PM64, I loved them as well, SPM ended up being my favorite. Again, I'm not being unreasonable by just wanting the series to reflect those games. I didn't have any issues with it until Sticker Star.

    @YaBoiTheXD @NintendoAmerica I'm complaining about being confused with an idiot not being able to umderstand the difference between a video game and real life. The awful state of things ( because words fail me) im Ukraine is another issue.

    @GalaxisSSB Sorry, we're aware of the issue. The game has not been announced as live yet. We're waiting for Nintendo to activate the online portion. In the short term you can play offline, and we will promote the game only once we can confirm a connection to online. Thanks for your patience.

    My Switch just... broke entirely?????? I'm so ******* upset. 😭 It gave me an error code and shut off, I did take a picture of the error code and I looked it up, went through the troubleshooting on Nintendo's website, nothing worked, it says I need to send it in for repair.

    @yggdrasilsaltar @NintendoAmerica "Why fix what isn't broken" is exactly what I have to say about Sticker Star. Wow, Paper Mario fans aren't the audience of Paper Mario? I wonder who is then.

    @Deebeegeek26 I understand your sourness about this, tho Im personally fan of the mobile, i was so thankful that i can finally play a kh without having a play station, the same way I did w/nintendo. Sadly, the service is now offline & you can only see the theater mode. But it was a great game

    @TeamYouTube can you please fix this issue? My YouTube on Nintendo Switch is not working. But my nintendo switch is connected to the internet. However the menu screen is not there and keeps saying "Not connected." Can you please fix this issue?

    Nintendo shocks the world by announcing Motos DLC, and Nintendo reveals Brothers in Arms DLC, and Sakurai SHOCKS THE WORLD by revealing new DLC character from the Truxton series, and False is already claiming the character will be really BROKEN

    @LinkMountaineer @RealPoi_ @NintendoAmerica Bro. It’s a warriors game. Crowded scenarios are the game💀. The game has a bad FPS issue. Go watch any review, any tech analysis or anything. It’s not good even if it doesn’t bother u LOL

  • TheNerdCloset
    Seamstress Aya (@TheNerdCloset) reported

    @DavkasGaming @BlockKayde @Kitty_Haz_Claws This has always been an issue with JRPGs on playstation so it's not really been that hard for me to jump between Nintendo and PS games because there's not much of a change over with my games.

    i thought nintendo fixed drift issues for free? it’s gonna be $90 to fix my switch lite… im debating just buying a switch oled

    @MiatheHedgehog4 @TeamYouTube I think the issue is across the board, I’m on Xbox one and it’s saying the same thing what you are getting on your Nintendo.

    @Chinchillazllla Am... Am I the only person who never had any issues going from Xbox to Nintendo and vice versa?

    @klei So there is no problem if I create another Klei account with the Nintendo one? We will have the option to merge them later? Or is it better not to activate it?

    @TylerKelbaugh94 @Martles3 @NintendoAmerica Sales isn’t the problem dude There are a lot of people waiting for this game that would have released already, people would have bought it anyways regardless of the world state Nintendo has shown to be acknowledging the current war since it has big effects on all the world

    acnh twitter projecting abandonment issues onto nintendo because they haven't updated the game in a while is rly funny to me

    @The__Goomba But didn't the Age of Calamity trailers look fine too? It's not like Nintendo is going to feature lag and whatnot in a trailer. I mean hopefully it runs fine, but I doubt a trailer would show whether or not it does.

    @Chinchillazllla For some reason A and B on Nintendo controllers are no problem for me. It's X and Y that I always have to think about for a second. And forget about any game with QTEs. I'm just screwed

  • luis_agm10
    Luis (@luis_agm10) reported

    @XanderXCIV @SSL_2004 @Chinchillazllla Yeah I think the main problem was probably the phrasing. There's also the fact that while you see the Xbox and PS button layouts as standard more people see the Nintendo one's as the standard since they are the ones that basically popularized the diamond style of buttons.

    Hysloth (@LikeThe_Library) reported

    @xaviers_online You know what.. no. Xbox is fine for once. Nintendo itself is the problem. Yea I can mix up a and b on the witch after playing my ps4. But God forbid I go from one switch game to another. God forbid I play pokemon BDSP then Arceus. Or from BOTW to Skyward Sword.

    @roroseliaa I solved this problem by only having Nintendo consoles and if I use a controller on pc I use a pro controller
