  • CrazyBoy4387 CrazyBoy Gamingz (@CrazyBoy4387) reported

    that Nintendo direct was just ok. AND WHY DIDN'T THEY PUT CRASH IN SMASH. REEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE

  • shpimgis i follow girls (@shpimgis) reported

    how about nintendo issues a cease and desist on their own ****** company 🥱

  • theluigiguy theluigiguy 🐤🦆 (@theluigiguy) reported

    You can either play Skyward Sword HD with motion controls or a drifting joystick, your pick! In all seriousness, I wonder if Nintendo is gonna tweak some of the quests to make them less boring. I don't think they can fix the backtracking issues, but we'll see

  • RickySantone Ricky Santone (@RickySantone) reported

    @princearies Namely like not being able to group with friends and dumb 'Nintendo is bad at making small modernizations' issues? Also they made leveling grindier in 2 and idk why, like they want you to grind for exp tickets so you can...grind exp? It was a weird choice lol

  • Mimikqyu2037 🏳️‍🌈Mimikyu🏳️‍⚧️ (@Mimikqyu2037) reported

    @TooManyBirds37 @NintendoAmerica IF IT AINT BROKE DON'T FIX IT

  • FlompMcDomp FlompMcDomp (@FlompMcDomp) reported

    @WrenchingTrout Imagine not realising that the problem is that Nintendo is probably going to make a fuckton of money off of reselling a Wii game, which will further encourage them to do even more ****** things because they know they can get away with it.

  • rhiwion thracia enjoyer (@rhiwion) reported

    skyward sword's problems don't even nearly hinge on the control scheme as much as time and distance has led people to believe. that game is the epitome of nintendo's excessive handholding and guided experience ****. call me when the hd version manages to make phi not annoying.

  • xheavensfeeIx 🤍🤍🤍 (@xheavensfeeIx) reported

    @repressed_nerd yeah. it's less a "this isnt worth this money" issue for me and more "nintendo makes more than enough to put in sooo much more to this to make it a full remake OR just price it lower if it's just gonna be a port. they are greedy" issue made worse by the rom issues

  • ItsPenguxn Pengu (@ItsPenguxn) reported

    @flatpancakesss that's the issue with nintendo games in general. they never decrease in price in almost any scenario

  • John_Titor0 Hundder (@John_Titor0) reported

    @imcade @NintendoAmerica Imagine wanting masterhand and crash Pepega

  • Luigi48304540 Luigi (@Luigi48304540) reported

    @NintendoAmerica WHERE IS CRASH FOR SMASH!!!!!!!!!😡😡😡

  • dougsvest Micah Hendrick (@dougsvest) reported

    @adamclodfelter Nintendo for the direct and Sony for PS5 supply issues?

  • AlexCorgi1 Corgi (@AlexCorgi1) reported

    @HMKilla You depress me... I feel like the voices fans have with Nintendo are part of the problem...

  • petesbusiness Peter Long (@petesbusiness) reported

    @VoltaireSurge @ChrisRGun I guess it depends on if they fix stuff in Skyward sword but I don't trust Nintendo to do any quality of life improvements besides making it look better and fixing some control issues, like the mario all stars collection is sorry as hell compared to other collections

  • AmazingMrBrock ImB (@AmazingMrBrock) reported

    @JimSterling I really want to play these games but I'm so turned off by nintendo online I just cant. From bringing it in long after launch and turning something once free into a pay to use service, to locking Mario Maker 2 levels behind it Nintendo online. Its so anti consumer I just can't.

  • maddiebirds Mabbie™ (@maddiebirds) reported

    So weird that the entire Nintendo Direct was all about how Crash Bandicoot is actually just a Guy ?

  • onaefruit O𝔫𝔞𝔢 🍑 (@onaefruit) reported

    Personally I would have chosen a more classic video game character like Dr. Eggman or Crash, but I respect Nintendo’s decision to include Rush

  • JodosGoat Mortifus (@JodosGoat) reported

    @AmericanParrot @NintendoAmerica Can I have your stuff that isn't broken?

  • Skyform Skyform (@Skyform) reported

    If your biggest problem is you were disappointed by something in the Nintendo Direct. You're doing fine. :)

  • YoshoCookie Yosho (@YoshoCookie) reported

    @TrussEgo @NintendoAmerica yeah It’s fine, it kinda sucks though how the winner usually isn’t even determined by skill. It’s always that the more popular team has issues with matchmaking allowing for the other team to win like every time

  • J_Fiumara Joey says read Chainsaw Man (@J_Fiumara) reported

    @allysonvasion I think they tried to address the aesthetic issues people had w the first game in ways that are very like... not-Nintendo

  • despairsfavorit Despair ✨| BLM ❤️ (@despairsfavorit) reported

    @NintendoAmerica The pre-order link is broken?

  • chronuckle Chronuckle (@chronuckle) reported

    @blu_v4 Nintendo's website has it at $50, so this just be an error. Even $50 is too much for a 3DS game though.

  • wait_why_me PurplePerfection (@wait_why_me) reported

    @DrIvoRobotnik5 It's clearly just so they can make more money. That's probably my biggest issue with Nintendo, they do this amazing stuff but I struggle to enjoy it cause I have to pay Max price for it every time

  • httpsbei (@httpsbei) reported

    @MeteorPlayz oh no, but didn’t Nintendo say that it was possible to send them back for free? and they give you new ones? (Or they just fix them I don’t know)

  • CapnMeow J (@CapnMeow) reported

    Huh. Maybe the smaller, more focused Nintendo directs were better. That one was not good. And a big oof on re-releasing Skyward Sword, probably the most disliked Zelda, and not fixing one of the biggest issues - controls.

  • yuukeired 𝕽𝖊𝖉🎸 (@yuukeired) reported

    @AphroQiyana It's so sad that Spla2n already died tho, there was no reason for it... but even though I've had some frustrating experiences with Nintendo's online service over the years, I've enjoyed Spla2n a lot so I think you could buy a Switch for BotW 2 and Splatoon 3

    @FunnyBlueH3d @NintendoAmerica What is your problem?
