  • vlzxero wyatt, the wannabe morbius expert (@vlzxero) reported

    i like how nintendo didn't even really dispute the rating, they're aware they're rereleasing a 20+ year old game on a niche addition to their already divisive online service so they're like "**** it, only nerds are gonna play it again on switch anyway"

  • jaredsobbing Jared | panic at the disco (@jaredsobbing) reported

  • ZombieShooz ZombieShooz (@ZombieShooz) reported

    @GodsofSkyforge Hello, I have tried a few times to play the Nintendo Switch version of the game. It cannot get past the introduction screen. I've redownloaded the game several times now. Any word on a fix for this?

  • Slice_of_Galaxy Zismarith, 438th of his line (@Slice_of_Galaxy) reported

    @StefWoodburn And to think I was just trying to get my dad off the Nintendo so I could play Zelda on Ninte . . . uh, right. Health benefits. That's all my 10 year old self was concerned with. Problem solving brain power.

  • AdrianSa0102 Adrián Sandoval (@AdrianSa0102) reported

    @NintendoAmerica Please, Nintendo of America. We are waiting to releasing MORE N64 first-party titles for that service of the system.

  • GaymerPolitico GaymerPolitico @🏡 (@GaymerPolitico) reported

    @NintendoCanada Hopefully there’s no lag on this one because the Mario Golf lag makes the game unplayable while docked (the lag doesn’t exist in handheld mode for some reason…& no it’s not my tv, I checked).

  • VexxBlack Vexx⭐️ (@VexxBlack) reported

    I am getting pretty sick and tired of accounts not being linked via "My Nintendo" and my Switch. Everytime I have to reset my password, it then buggers up my Switch login. Fix your mess @Nintendo

  • MonadoXIII MonadoHeir (@MonadoXIII) reported

    @SohSoex @SpawnWaveMedia Nintendo seems to be making plenty by releasing full priced, non-service games.

  • MrGuyTweets MrGuy (@MrGuyTweets) reported

    @Karxrida since mario sunshine runs so well, i doubt there'd be issue. the n64 has had issues because it's a notoriously difficult system to emulate. but a) nintendo seems more interested in doing individual remasters for gamecube and newer, b) the games are quite large in comparison

    @NintendoAmerica FIX THE ******* GREEN TINTS ON NINTENDO OLED PLSSSS

  • Dave19Brown83 David Brown (@Dave19Brown83) reported

    @yggdrasilsaltar @NintendoAmerica Good games have come to the service before this.

  • aknox92 Andrew ⭐⭐🏆 (@aknox92) reported

    @GenePark I feel like Nintendo has missed the boat on making their retro service more convenient than emulating

  • BTetris99 Stan the Man (@BTetris99) reported

    @HiimSteve20 @coolcults01 @NintendoAmerica Thats square enix problem dumbass lol

  • LadyRebellium LadyRebellium ✧ On Vacation (@LadyRebellium) reported

    @MadsenJeffry @SMITEGame Well, you can check there. Log in and go to "Linked Accounts." If there isn't a Nintendo account already linked, try linking yours. Might fix it.

  • jctoons2D Julian C (@jctoons2D) reported

    @NintendoAmerica Reminder that the "T" rating is for the NSO service and not the game itself.

  • lusamine_sm Lusamine's page (@lusamine_sm) reported

    @FrostGlader @JuanitoMoldon @NintendoAmerica the ramps work differently with the tour engine (the jump is borderline nonexistent, you would just fall off track) and the sharp turns aren't fully fitting due to the extremely wide drifting compared to the rest of the entries 8 lacks those issues

  • JRayV20 Empirony (@JRayV20) reported

    Lowkey if Nintendo’s Online Service added GBA & GC I think I’d finally justify getting the Expansion Pass. Either that or more DLC additions.

  • TanukiLina 🏳️‍🍃Lina "Comms Open" Tanuki🍃🏳️‍ (@TanukiLina) reported

    *looks a bit at a video talking about how the best way to fix joycon drift is to send it to nintendo & get it repaired for free* ???? I remember trying to send my joycons to them back in like 2019 and they tried charging me... 40$ LMAO. maybe it changed by then

  • Khyon521 Khyon (@Khyon521) reported

    @yggdrasilsaltar @EditionCancer @NintendoAmerica For real you got a sound more whiny than that. Something like “Really, Kirby 64? When are they going to put a good game on this service?”

  • MilesMangrum Miles (@MilesMangrum) reported

    @A17871561 @Cloud__X__ @NintendoAmerica Yes because….it’s part of the service. like I said lol

  • IAm_Sterling Sterlz (@IAm_Sterling) reported

    @NintendoAmerica I'd love to just buy this game! I do not want to pay for your terribly underdeveloped online service

  • GallaerOfficial Gallaer (@GallaerOfficial) reported

    @stardream61016 @saintpablo6410 @NintendoAmerica You can fix it though?

  • PKSparkxx PKSparkxx #BlackLivesMatter (@PKSparkxx) reported

    @VantaJay @MattBenBig Ain't nothing Nintendo could put on that service that could make me buy it outside of making content.

  • _BLamb BLamb (@_BLamb) reported

    @NintendoAmerica Guys, just like most of you, I thought the game itself was rated T, but that’s not the case. Go back and look at other trailers for N64 NSO. I just looked at the Paper Mario and Mario Golf trailers, and they also had a T rating on it. The T rating is just a general service rating

  • HiimSteve20 Steven2000 (@HiimSteve20) reported

    @Scoloswine12 @GregDulock @NintendoAmerica Mario Strikers doesn't look like they have much content looks like at best $29.99 game and they need to add more games to all their console systems on the online service every month!

  • WaevstheGamer Waevs (@WaevstheGamer) reported

    @EternalRZ @PimpZach_ Honestly, I’m so irritated with gamefreak and Nintendo about this. Like the fact that we pay for a service that’s not updated regularly is ridiculous

  • easyforyou5sos meg 💙 (@easyforyou5sos) reported

    nintendo switch sports is so laggy 😭😭 so many games i should’ve won or ***** i should’ve hit in tennis and volleyball but the lag is awful
