    @MiklePickle2 @BubbIegumFucker sorry if english bad but I spoke with a programmer in nintendo. They’re adding my nuts as the dlc. My ******* is gonna be the next dlc fighter and will be revealed at e3, alongside crash bandicoot’s nuts

  • hjhjhj13000 Abdullah Alrwily (@hjhjhj13000) reported

    @NintendoAmerica The entire ******* crash trilogy, AND the spyro trilogy, and CTR are all like a hundred bucks. That’s 7 games. With ACTUAL changes made and improvements. And you charge 60$ for a poor port and an extra 25$ to ******* fast travel? You’re a joke of a company. Greedy as all hell.

  • PenguinBaron BaronPenguin (@PenguinBaron) reported

    @maland2016 @MoistCr1TiKaL I mean, there was Miiverse, a platform made by Nintendo for people to share and talk about games. What you could say was very restricted, you could only share in game photos. It actually seemed to be a pretty positive place I found with hardly any problems iirc

  • CynicDisaster CynicDisaster (@CynicDisaster) reported

    @NintendoAmerica garbage greedy company y’all became huh? No other game company charges an extra $28 for not having the funds for an auto payment for online service. Y’all suck now.

  • moltango kmrt (????) (@moltango) reported

    @NewleafB They're offering a competing service to Nintendo duh

  • necroticarts vinny 💉 lil necromancer 🧪 (@necroticarts) reported

    @bewitchingbun I am speaking to you directly. You will do this for me. I need you to go to gamestop and i need you to ask the bastard working the counter if they have Xenoblade Chronicles on the Nintendo Switch. If you come back empty handed you’ll be in big trouble mister. You will never see t

  • Johniamback17 John (@Johniamback17) reported

    @dkvine @GoldenSandsBlog DK & Diddy should of been nintendo exclusive characters in crash racing remake IMO

  • TheScalieBoi The Scalie Nerdo (@TheScalieBoi) reported

    @NintendoAmerica Why i cant login on fortnite but i can on the nintendo site? Also on the eshop my mail appears like my**** but it doesnt even starts like that, I need answers, cant login on my switch and i spent money there

  • FortNinety Matt Hawkins (@FortNinety) reported

    Sometimes I consider all the YouTube vids on some super obscure Nintendo re: topic (it's ALWAYS Nintendo), and then all the time & energy spent, specifically if said resources were allocated towards something useful, how it could fix so many things... I then get legit sad & mad

  • BasicGamerBob Basic Gamer Bob (@BasicGamerBob) reported

    @ADangerDesigner @NintendoAmerica @RetroGameGuys Sounds like a charging problem. Even if the battery is dead, if it is installed and the charger is plugged in, it should turn on. If not (and nothing else is wrong), there is a problem with the charging itself.

  • SwiftKitsuneigh 🔞🏳️‍⚧️Qorra Cockswallower 🏳️‍⚧️🔞 (@SwiftKitsuneigh) reported

    @NintendoAmerica But did you fix the game breaking glitch? eh either way YESYESYESYESYESYES

  • Evilcrashbandi1 👨‍👩‍👧‍👦Cute humans lover 👨‍👩‍👧‍👦 (@Evilcrashbandi1) reported

    @CrashBandicoot Crash fans become like clowns they think any crash images had smash ultimate thing's , super trash gross is bad Nintendo game , and crash looks to be for PlayStation system after he was the icon of psx in the past

  • TheIkranRider TheIkranRider (Rick Wheeler/Ryu Suzaku for SMASH!) (@TheIkranRider) reported

    @MaestroGioGio @VGC_News I don't care! I support emulations and if Nintendo has a problem even though it's not affecting its economy, then I just despise it! I'm sorry, but I'm just sick of them suing people that do free favors for us!

  • tentateks sonjee ⚡️ @ P5R (@tentateks) reported

    new nintendo switch please fix joycon drift i'm begging you

  • hjhjhj13000 Abdullah Alrwily (@hjhjhj13000) reported

    @SamWils19061969 @enzovexx @NintendoAmerica The entire goddamn crash trilogy, spyro trilogy, and CTR is a ******* hundred bucks. Seven ******* games with actual changes. And you call whatever ******** they did here fair and normal??

  • KermitTiktok kermit.the.tiktok (@KermitTiktok) reported

    @FortniteGame I don’t ******* understand why don’t you guys fix Nintendo switch it’s so ******* bad it’s not even funny fix it please God I spent $1000 on this game I want to quit because it’s so ******* bad

  • Wajinokiseki Łazy (@Wajinokiseki) reported

    @MegaTuks @KitKatisWeird7 @Shpeshal_Nick You couldn't be more wrong. But at least you'll know soon enough. Nintendo is supposed to be the least affected by it. Also Tegra X1 is done, were moving on. And with how the problems seem to be continue onto next year, no point in waiting anyway.

  • ErickADub ErickADub (@ErickADub) reported

    @bkbriggs324 @TheNCSmaster Then why aren't they on board? Why are they just ports of the game instead of new installments? Also, why aren't they on Switch since Microsoft are pals with Nintendo? They had no problem putting Minecraft on every system since the Wii U.

  • Ajay37117634 Ajay (@Ajay37117634) reported

    @crystarius @projectCMR @Wario64 Wouldn't really solve the issue. It's not that we can't play Mother 3, we want Nintendo to officially localize and release it.

  • WWaldito MalloW (@WWaldito) reported

    @jenkins_kesler @So_Ethereal @badzeldattv No worries here. However, one thing Nintendo have confirmed is that they don't know how to bring F-Zero game. They have problem if they want something completely new or even for a storyline.

  • ghostie8k G8K☾* (@ghostie8k) reported

    @OTAKUGOD270 It’s bad cause Nintendo doesn’t have good servers to play online. There’s hella lag

  • patricknotirl patrick (@patricknotirl) reported

    nintendo wii broken

  • 1upjohn 1UpJohn (@1upjohn) reported

    @cosmicxlibrary The problem was that they were charging for the roms. Nintendo had every right to sue.

  • Objection2007 BLM | Objection! 2007~ (@Objection2007) reported

    @ZetaDiamond 3rd parties fixing Nintendo’s problems yet again

  • basedpersona4 awesome PERSONA 4 FAN (@basedpersona4) reported

    @miniyodadude @AboutNintendo they do. the guy of the rom site did something ACTUALLY illegal, and broke a few laws. its only because its nintendo where this is a problem; if it was any other company there wouldn't be this flag.

  • Lord_Drieg Lord Drieg (@Lord_Drieg) reported

    @topherd05 An easy way to show Sony, Microsoft, Nintendo were not willing to put up with this decision is to file a consumer complaint. It seems useless, but if enough complaints come through the trio may finally acknowledge the problem.

  • SahilS57 Sahil Sharma (@SahilS57) reported

    @NintendoAmerica Fix your game. Bring friendly fire on smash online doubles. Or stop producing cancers like Pyra. Broken projectiles. #SpamCity #FixSmash #SmashBrosUltimate

  • dadx81 Once was a gamer (@dadx81) reported

    @lonebengalsfan Never had any luck with PlayStation support....xbox on Xmas morning of the launch of xbox one...i had console issue...i had a real person in minutes....a code for a game so my xbox was useable on xbox morning as the disc drive was bad..surprisingly I've never had nintendo issues

  • BoppyBlazy 💫 Blazy bb 💝 (@BoppyBlazy) reported

    @NewleafB @l_eat_Bread i do, still the meme is a in general situation so what if Nintendo took down a premium service, they would've taken it down even if it was free, it doesn't change anything lmao
