  • hithenameskatie K (@hithenameskatie) reported

    Nintendo have crash bandicoot and I’ve just discovered this. See ya next year.

  • DaremoNoOmoide Daremo (@DaremoNoOmoide) reported

    @ChrisShuler4 @TheMonsterTrain @NintendoAmerica Much more important ! For some weird reasons, probably a bug, I'm not winning every single A20 divine runs. Please fix asap ! Obviously I'm not the problem.

  • Sir_Vamped 𝗦𝗶𝗿 𝗩𝗮𝗺𝗽𝗲𝗱®△○✕□ (@Sir_Vamped) reported

    @Waluigi4smas4 Atari caused the gaming market to crash. Nintendo revived it.

  • gr0wyourown gh0st (@gr0wyourown) reported

    @XboxGamePass Please do some old school crash bandikoot commercials outside Sony hq like they used to do to Nintendo

  • hazytoucan Hazy@BBCF ROLLBACK BABYYYY🕹️🐍🐦 (@hazytoucan) reported

    Nintendo gaining full control over the Digimon IP would also present a problem in the form of a single company having two monster taming series in its catalogue sure I did say they don't have full control over the Pokemon IP, but I still think this would be a problematic scenario

  • noxnoisy ⭐Nóx⭐ (@noxnoisy) reported

    @TheCGDL oh the controller is alright the fact that the buttons are the exact oposite from nintendo's is completely messed up I'm playing pc games with my switch controller and have problems because of that

  • TCoolmunk T. Funk the Coolmunk ‘22 (@TCoolmunk) reported

    @AmbitiousAlvin The problem is your trying to remember where 4 buttons are when you only need to remember where two pair of buttons are. On both controllers, x is left of a, and y is left of b. On Nintendo, b is for bottom. On Xbox, b is for back.

  • GageWrites Gage J. Tolin (@GageWrites) reported

    @SjwSpiderman They said that COD is the only big franchise that Activision Blizzard owns, as if WOW, Diablo, and Overwatch don't exist. Yeah, like you said, if the exclusivity were an issue then Nintendo would be in trouble; heck, maybe even Sony would.

  • ChrisShuler4 Daniel Lapusso (@ChrisShuler4) reported

    @DaremoNoOmoide @TheMonsterTrain @NintendoAmerica Lol yeah I haven’t won a single run on the switch version. Obviously a bad port. No but seriously, please fix that menu bug lol

  • CrunchyPretzels VeryCrunchyPretzels (@CrunchyPretzels) reported

    @RoxanneNeon Roxy please fix how Nintendo is spelt on your profile it’s starting to ******* hurt my brain-

  • tsyselek syselek (@tsyselek) reported

    @Dr_Scaphandre Yeah, that's the biggest problem with it - it can run well only the games which were made from the start for this platform. If it was x86, it potentially could be damn good portable console, but it simply isn't... except for Nintendo games.

  • HickoryHamSamm Samm (She/They) (@HickoryHamSamm) reported

    I deeply hate that X is jump. And that X is Y. Nintendo please fix your controls.

  • AmberGoop Amber (@AmberGoop) reported

    @platinumneko_ yeah bt like. why did nintendo make a game about mario being a cleaning service

  • jxdecharlotte 𝖏𝖆𝖉𝖊 🔮 (@jxdecharlotte) reported

    @NintendoUK my switch has lost all wireless network connection. tried rebooting & rebooting router but nothings working just error code: 2110-1100

  • AzurenGames 『Azuren』⭐ Not Gonna Follow Me? Coward (@AzurenGames) reported

    Good or Bad Bad for everyone who prefers to game on Nintendo or PlayStation, and honestly a bit depressing for PlayStation guys who grew up on Spyro and Crash. I didn't appreciate KOTOR being a Sony exclusive, and I stand on those same principles now.

  • venomus91 Venonymous Snake (@venomus91) reported

    @MaxDerrat -and square enix -and toys for bob? (THEY HAVE TO GET CRASH AND -SPYRO BACK) -and capcom -and bandai namco (from sotware! come on Sony you have to counter the elder scrolls!) -and at this point Nintendo should try to buy Sega and...

  • Smitty9110 Smitty91 (@Smitty9110) reported

    @Crash49676428 @Canadianguyehh @SpyroUniverse Wrong. Spyro and Crash appeared on other platforms besides PlayStation. For example, they had plenty of games on Nintendo platforms. So, no, they are not PlayStation mascots.

  • SilvySpark Masked Himbo hates Terfs 🔞/🎙(VTuber Debut TBA) (@SilvySpark) reported

    @SjwSpiderman I feel like the issue here is that Call of Duty wasn't an exclusive originally, while Nintendo's franchises have always been on Nintendo systems aside from that one time with the CD-I.

  • SMS_8bit Master System 🍁 Marceau (@SMS_8bit) reported

    @LostChaosTv It's not illegal per se. It's only illegal if it put them in a position of complete monopoly. Apple, Amazon or Tencent could buy Sony without any problem. Microsoft, not so easily, unless they can say "We're competing against Nintendo, Google Stadia and Amazon Luna", then maybe.

  • you_know22 Kiwi (@you_know22) reported

    @CrispsCold Well yeah, its business. Hes literally preparing by buying those who want to be bought, which is fine as long as they dont go too far and buy mfs like T2, thatd be a problem. I just hope they dont stop competing with PS/Nintendo, Compeition is very important.

  • lMThomasWilson ℍ𝕠𝕥 ℙ𝕚𝕟𝕜 𝔸𝕡𝕠𝕔𝕒𝕝𝕪𝕡𝕤𝕖 (@lMThomasWilson) reported

    @gamesyouloved My mom threw away my entire Nintendo Power collection dating back to the third issue 😩

  • nyourbhsiness Noneof Yourbhsiness (@nyourbhsiness) reported

    @Halo 343, bro how come everything you've touched with Halo infinite turns to feces? I'd say you have the midas touch but no, you have the opposite. You were heralded as the golden lamb due to Sony and Nintendo not having anything to compete with. Fix the game. See you in 9months.

  • CATpt93 Catarina 'CAT' Ferreira (@CATpt93) reported

    @No_Limit_Gamer @DJ_Link I don't have a problem with a thing, I'm just stating what it's true. Microsoft is competing with Apple, Amazon, Google. Hardly Sony or Nintendo LOL

  • aIveskue k-ue (@aIveskue) reported

    @JuiceMan_V @PlayerEssence Yup. And that's bad for long term, because customers will think that games should be "free" because Gamepass. Sure, Gamepass is a cool service, but it only works the way it does because MS is trilionaire. It ain't sustainable for Nintendo nor Sony.

  • BMakuramaru Beddo Makuramaru (@BMakuramaru) reported

    @LinkTheSeventh @AeroViro "Pokemon games and Nintendo games in general always put gameplay at the top" You mean the new gameplay mechanics that get more boring and graphically broken with each new one or the copy paste story, characters and combat with different legendary on the box?

  • RyNoMeansNo RyNo🥱 (@RyNoMeansNo) reported

    @_castled @NintendoAmerica Heading to the N64 expansion pack for the online service. Paper Mario was put up last month!

  • AfzalFurzana Furzana Afzal (@AfzalFurzana) reported

    @NintendoUK I can't link my Nintendo ID on my Wii U. I formatted this Wii U a few years ago. I can sign in on the Nintendo website on a tablet. Hep

  • loganator817 Loganator817 (@loganator817) reported

    @PlayerEssence I don’t really think this effects Nintendo that much if they keep at least prying crash and Spyro games out on there cuz they seem to only be trying to go after Sony and Nintendo it’s still very strong outselling all of them I could be wrong tho

  • doomboom23 HYP3 FIGGS (@doomboom23) reported

    @FortniteStatus Nintendo switch players cannot log on fortnite it says loged out or says fortnite has been log out try aging later pls fix this as quickly as possible i cant play the update
