  • tinyshoyu cosmo 🪐 (@tinyshoyu) reported

    Nintendo PLEASE fix the dream island visiting the frame drop is actually making me feel sick wtf

  • Kyo_Nightfall Kyo 🌙 •COMMS OPEN• (@Kyo_Nightfall) reported

    @xzize98 I saw a video theory in which they say Nintendo might prefer the west to pay for both games rather than adding them for free in the service because of the poor sales the game had even in the 90s That's honestly their fault for giving such a trashy advertising

  • cir1l0 big c (@cir1l0) reported

    @2KSupport in my ticket it was specified my problem was directed towards the pc version of the game, and i get a link on my response that directs me to solutions from ps4/5, nintendo switch, and xbox, nothing related to the source of my problem... Just don't want my player to +

  • JordanTheLiox Jordan Liox (@JordanTheLiox) reported

    @MommaBearJazz gotchaaa I'll probably be able to figure it out, I think I'll wait like the other person did- just for longer if that doesn't work I might send it in to Nintendo and have them fix it like I had them do for my joycon awhile back, but I don't know if that works w/ bricked switches

  • ProfeStyleZX ProfessorStyles (@ProfeStyleZX) reported

    @Kazoorion @GamerGB1988 @NintendoAmerica THANK YOU. My problem is that they didn’t even try to make it look modern while calling it HD they did way better with the Wii U releases to the point where wind waker looked like a new game when it released again

  • ActorMMerchant ActorMichaelMerchant (@ActorMMerchant) reported

    @just_acarl @NintendoAmerica No problem!

  • King_Quarters QuarterDollarKing (@King_Quarters) reported

    @juicebox988 @NintendoAmerica It’s an overpriced 10 year old game. This is $60 and the amiibo is $25, meanwhile TPHD was both for $60. That’s what I take issue with, I quite enjoyed the game.

  • QuacksCrypto Crypto Quacks (@QuacksCrypto) reported

    @BlockBirdsNFT @beeple Nintendo is one of the scariest, but in the physical art world, you see a lot of fan art selling without problems, for example, check the KAWS Sponge Bob, two years ago was sold for 5 millions, and don't know if any trouble so far.

  • AmBobux Silver (@AmBobux) reported

    @NintendoAmerica bruh ofc when I get in trouble that’s when it releases

  • temmytoa 2(temmy)+1 (@temmytoa) reported

    Almost every issue associated with Amiibo could be solved if Nintendo actually restocked them, ever

  • InterestingSha4 Interesting Female Shadow Facts (@InterestingSha4) reported

    @1Phanto @Nintendo @NintendoUK Don't tell them, maybe they won't fix it

  • ReyReyTheGr8 Reynolds (@ReyReyTheGr8) reported

    @GrouchMan21 Because nintendo is more of the boomer game company i choose crash but tbh its a 50/50 at this point

  • DarkGuy_X Raymundo (@DarkGuy_X) reported

    @Hobo59357013 @NintendoAmerica Been playing for 125 hours now, got it since release. NGL, framerate is a very consistent issue during the entire game, but it will never be unplayable as long as you don't play local multiplayer.

  • DragonHeartArts Dragon (@DragonHeartArts) reported

    @NintendoAmerica Did you fix the drifting issues?

  • CRISPY_B0Y CRISPY (@CRISPY_B0Y) reported

    @1Phanto @Nintendo @NintendoUK Wow this game is so broken!! Nintendo what were you thinking!!!

  • JDKspot James (@JDKspot) reported

    Upgraded to google WiFi and #Splatoon2 is still the same **** hole of disconnects funny how the lag is better but the games core of disconnects and cheaters remains the same. God I ******* hate Nintendo lately.

  • FujinSamurai FujinSamurai #freepalestine (@FujinSamurai) reported

    @foxuzamaki @TAHK0 this and the fact that botw is a big game and it looks like nintendo realizes this and is trying to fix the complaints people had about the first things like story and other open world elements and those take a while to fix

  • SafergieOne Steven Ferguson (@SafergieOne) reported

    @lol2fast_ @PlayStation Nintendo is killing it, Microsoft is in 3rd spot, games company make money from selling games, Xbox is doing a service base system with a steady income and can play the long game, but gamers will pay for the Games Now, not hope and wait if they come on game pass

  • TheLuminary5 Monty (@TheLuminary5) reported

    @venom_cipher Lastly, this is more a problem with Nintendo than Kirby, but I wish they hadn’t gone the free updates route. What came with the DLC was great but it wish it was there on release. Most people were already done with Kirby Star Allies when Nintendo announced their last update.

  • JoeWhat8 Joe What (@JoeWhat8) reported

    @NintendoAmerica Fix the framerate

  • FXBrennan_ FX Brennan 🍥 (@FXBrennan_) reported

    @NintendoAmerica did you fix drift?

  • venom_cipher Sep ☀️ (@venom_cipher) reported

    @HypnoPr1v My question is why is Kirby not with the other Nintendo platformers, and why is Banjo not with Spyro & Crash This list sucks

  • AverageMkPlayer Nitara Supremacy VICE CEO OF NITARA FANS (@AverageMkPlayer) reported

    @chewyhorror Yeah I might get a pro controller or send my current joy cons to Nintendo for repair. Apparently if they can’t fix it then they give you completely new ones. It might not be the same color but I never really cared about the color anyways

  • crash_wumpa Crash Bandicoot (@crash_wumpa) reported

    @FroggyTheMii @mrevaporation1 I guess mrevaporation got sus'd because of a Crash hating Nintendo boy that don't want to see Crash in Smash.

  • IronJoeBro Iron Joe - Ashley and Red for Smash (@IronJoeBro) reported

    @CoolyMood It’s a primarily-Nintendo problem, and this is a worse case than that seeing as the graphical overhaul in Demon’s Souls is far more significant. The Kingdom Hearts games are overpriced on EGS and Square got dragged for it, but even those aren’t as bad as this.

  • CoolyMood FoolyCoolyMood (@CoolyMood) reported

    @IronJoeBro I think the problem stems from the assumption fans have that Nintendo will ever listen to its fans. They never do, and when they do it is forgotten.

  • RoyalUltimax 👻Max👻 (@RoyalUltimax) reported

    @ActualAero I’m gonna say we’re gonna get 1 more 1st party Nintendo character, more specifically, a Gen 8 Pokémon. For the second one, I really wanna say someone big like Crash or Sora because they’d be a huge reveal but idk.

  • 1Phanto Bandisup🍎(twter make your ******* MIND UP) (@1Phanto) reported

    so, I was playing Mario Odyssey, and I encountered a glitch, I died @Nintendo @NintendoUK would you like to explain yourself

  • biffmcmac Tom Swartz (@biffmcmac) reported

    @turbo_ace @NintendoAmerica I just checked... they still put the "Nintendo Seal of Quality" on every switch sold. I wonder what that actually means when they are aware of a widespread quality issue but do nothing to fix it?

  • DannCoffee Dann. (@DannCoffee) reported

    @ScottGandhi @RogueCompany I've been reporting crashes in Nintendo Switch using scoped weapons and nobody seems to care, this happens in strikeout, from the third round onwards. Also The Arena makes the game crash, please, give Switch players a little love.
