    Remember if you buy legends Arcues early and then brag about it online you are part of the problem :), you are supporting illegal activities, this goes for ANY unreleased video games Nintendo or otherwise And no : getting review copies from the companies isn't a problem

  • PwRofBanTom21 iPwRBantom’sBodega🎮💞✊🏾🎊 (@PwRofBanTom21) reported

    From a respected Sony consumer please don’t go and chase no waterfalls if it ain’t broke don’t fix it Nintendo has done it for years some were better than others but please just keep giving us our single player experiences if we get a decent multiplayer cool.

  • Kebabahabaninja Kalebninja (@Kebabahabaninja) reported

    @Arnibarani @astaranx Colin's issue is with consolidation not exclusivity. Sony didn't go and buy Square-Enix they got a few games to be exclusive which is the same thing that Xbox and Nintendo have always done. Xbox buying large publishers and attempting to completely control the market is different.

  • drewsmith824 Instinctive30/Chad (@drewsmith824) reported

    @Sora4Smash2 @KabutoGroupChat Nintendo would probably be the best option, plus it can help ensure the quality in giving a bigger budget for Sonic games since the other series Sega doesn’t seem to have too big of an issue with

  • Lezard_Durand Lézard🦎 (@Lezard_Durand) reported

    @nevek007 @marlisjun It's a completely different business model, there you have Nintendo, it is the one that sells the most and does not have a subscription service and its console is not the most technologically advanced.

  • Xxtina95 plain Jane (@Xxtina95) reported

    Debating if I should get some new shoes or get a Nintendo Switch..ahh childless problems

  • ItsRetroKaiju RetroKaiju (@ItsRetroKaiju) reported

    @SkyloftSword I respect that, I just feel that with Nintendo literally being the richest company of their country, they can afford having these problems fixed before they launch their consoles, and they definitely have enough money to study up on what works and what doesn't.

  • god_Forgive_3 N.W. Ferris (@god_Forgive_3) reported

    @NintendoAmerica FIX Ocarina of time first

  • _LarZen_ LarZen ➐ 🇳🇴 (@_LarZen_) reported

    @xMBGx The solution is simple. GamePass on PlayStation and Nintendo. Problem solved 👌🏻

  • Bonecrusher1022 Bone (@Bonecrusher1022) reported

    @Demi_theynd @JCog_ @NintendoAmerica If you never hit a save block, you are gonna be screwed regardless. Avoiding the crash by reloading your state and swapping partners, or you can close the n64 app itself before it crashes to resort to the last save block you used.

    @RoverPlush Banjo-Kazooie looks great, I'm on board for Banjo-Tooie coming to Switch Online, heard that Nintendo was developing a new server service to replace the old NEX server that was used for the NSO service

  • Linkus7 Linkus7 (@Linkus7) reported

    Just tried the new update for Switch N64, here are my thoughts: OoT’s input delay is much better and in my opinion isn’t a issue for casuals anymore, and Banjo runs great! There’s still changes I would like to see, but I never expected Nintendo to update this, so overall Pog

    @FortniteStatus fix this probleme on nintendo switsh quick plzzzzzzzzz 🙏🙏🙏🙏

  • whyttnaysmith rummage sale (@whyttnaysmith) reported

    i really need to remember to cancel my nintendo online service bc i haven’t used my switch in over a year and i still pay real money for it

  • JackalopeGraves 🌛🌞Jack Graves - Celestial Simp🌞🌜 (@JackalopeGraves) reported

    Did Nintendo ever fix the damn Switch Online Expansion Pack?? I really wanna play a buncha games but I don't wanna hand over money for a lag hell experience.😑

  • maxterdragon Mike (@maxterdragon) reported

    @NintendoAmerica Please fix the N64 games.

  • pkmntrainert Tiger (@pkmntrainert) reported

    @JCog_ @NintendoAmerica ay I saw your video on this a few days ago! Yeah very sad that they can't fix that glitch, even if it's just from a few lines of code that make the game lag on the starting screen.

  • Ceaser462 Caesar (@Ceaser462) reported

    @Durrtydoesit I’m not sure but it may evolve into a full service , and Maker of Games for All platforms Sony , Nintendo, Stream , PC , Amazon, Epic Store , Apple, Mobile, maybe even Netflix Nobody knows the true outcome yet .

  • peelher1one jeremy birdsall (@peelher1one) reported

    @BrianSaintt nah its better for the cdl if more popular names "have audio issues" until they win. I have to soft reset my Nintendo when I knock out Giratina so..

  • garbage_m4n Halo Infinite Grunt fan account (@garbage_m4n) reported

    @NintendoAmerica Did they fix the input lag on OOT yet? Or is it as bad as people were saying

  • ItsRetroKaiju RetroKaiju (@ItsRetroKaiju) reported

    @nintendolife Nintendo already has though. $50 for terribly emulated ROMs that you don't even own, broken controllers that drift after not even a month of use, terrible internet that you still need to pay for, they are already hurting the industry. It's why I don't feel bad pirating.

  • SeanKno31621177 Sea-n (@SeanKno31621177) reported

    @Ninja_Crash @TimothyShoema20 @nintendolife ok, tell me an awful thing nintendo has done, excluding fan emulation and fangames, theyre hardly a problem

  • crewofgorum Jasper H. Hambrong (@crewofgorum) reported

    @Kevboard_Arts @ModernVintageG They are working on the service and it’s meant to be played with a N64 controller which Nintendo has failed multiple times in restocking properly but probably due to scalpers and other ****** Internet reasons.

  • Spyder2K1 SPYDER2K1 (@Spyder2K1) reported

    @Matthew_ONeill4 @Cyrostyx @IGN EA is already apart of Gamepass in their Ultimate service, Nintendo doesnt own Sega, and Ubisoft along with all i named are for sale. Nintendo has a few Sega IPs like Ecco, but not main ones like Sonic which have had all releases on Xbox. So again, Sega is for Sale as a whole

    @ZeldaManiac1994 @NintendoAmerica No problem, I am now blocked by the user so I can’t see the comment.

  • KingGeoshi64 Pipsqueak George (@KingGeoshi64) reported

    @OngakuDragon Metal Mario has potential and he actually has a goofy opposite personality. But problems? Where did he come from, why is he based on a power-up? Robo Mario is a better designed character yet Nintendo mostly ignores the Arcades besides using the Triple Bananas and Thunder Cloud.
