  • GreatSaiywoman Gamewizord (@GreatSaiywoman) reported

    @ItzSly69 @nick71223 @SonicSaviorr 2) On games they don't even sell or even have on a service like game pass to play like Nintendo and their games we have no plans to make Legacy content available in any other way yet we're going to DMCA people on things we aren't even making any money on it's asinine.

  • MGallag04242541 M_Gallagher (@MGallag04242541) reported

    The features that are delayed for the January 2021 edition of the Nintendo Switch Online service update are as follows: Animal Crossing, ARMS, Mario Kart 8 Deluxe, Splatoon 2, Code Name S.T.E.A.M., and Xenoblade Chronicles 2.

  • BradWardFight BradWardFight 🕹 (@BradWardFight) reported

    @True4kView_YT @HaloGaming08 Playstation you can get refunds but you gotta do a chat, same with Nintendo. Epic and Steam have self service refunds.

  • MercuriusXeno Xeno (@MercuriusXeno) reported

    @Caittastic_ I tweeted something false and I have to fix it. I was led astray by a bad google prompt. I joked that Nintendo would've sued Game Genie back in the day, and joked "oh wait" they did. *They sort of did* but it was weird. Game genie sued first and then Nintendo countersued.

  • EspoirMauvais Nerevar Returns (@EspoirMauvais) reported

    So Jedi Survivor is broken at release? I swear only Sony and Nintendo are capable of releasing polished games at release. Everyone else is *** at it.

  • VengefulReaper Geno (@VengefulReaper) reported

    MS can't handle the damn issue. Let's cut the BS, Console Wars is just a bunch of People in a damn Cult. Playing point the finger. People refuse to add Nintendo part of this console war. When they started it all.

  • Azura_Cecillia Azura Cecillia 👽 アズラ・セシリア (@Azura_Cecillia) reported

    Every time I stream my Nintendo Switch, I have to disconnect my monitor resulting in me only having one monitor ):

  • SveedishPlomber Samuel Vidén (@SveedishPlomber) reported

    @ImPedanticEvans I dunno if it’s because games are more complex or if we just are better at finding bugs, but I totally agree. Never had those issues in my childhood of gaming on Sega, Nintendo, PSX etc. Chrono Cross, a PS1 game, released running worse than the original did.

  • VidGamesPete 🎮 Pete (@VidGamesPete) reported

    @total_legend @theburntwaffle1 Most people don't care if Nintendo games are 1080p 30fps and most people just ignore performance issues when they do occur. Like the A link to the past remake which had horrible stuttering and frame drops in the overworld.

  • SeraphPundit Bran-ded in Red (@SeraphPundit) reported

    @DollipDaze I legit just switched to the super nintendo mario picross to get my fix, that game has an absurd amount of content.

  • marc_spi Marc Spi (@marc_spi) reported

    @UbisoftSupport Why Nintendo Switch Rayman Legends Server Down? 👎👎👎👎👎👎👎👎👎👎👎👎

  • graysongrayson graysongrayson (@graysongrayson) reported

    @radicalciel Took em four months to finally send my Nintendo Switch to another company that can actually fix it. (Hopefully). They openly admitted that the repair just hadn’t been done. No one worked on my console for four months.

  • OfficialPoncy Poncy★ポンシー (@OfficialPoncy) reported

    @Toi_Gmod They better, i payed up 85 bucks (game + dlc), plus nintendo switch online every month for this game, so they better fix the splatfest, idc if marina is not working anymore on the stages, WE NEED the maps with elements from hero mode back, those was hella of fun.

  • VengefulReaper Geno (@VengefulReaper) reported

    IS anyone wondering why Nintendo.. ******* Nintendo is out doing the Xbox Series X and S? Seriously what ******** is the problem with this picture? There is tons of problems.. But every Looks at Sony as if they are the damn problem.

  • DSR_Joker Joker🃏 (@DSR_Joker) reported

    @danshyofficial You're G, we all have our passions, and I'm not talking any **** about nintendo or their games BTW, most of them tend to be solid, that is true, but sometimes the switch just can't keep up, see the last pokemon, which is more of a game freak issue, BUT well that's a whole THINK.

  • _minnhyeokk min thinks skzcon was a dream 🌱 (@_minnhyeokk) reported

    In case you couldnt tell I was being sarcastic @Pokemon @Nintendo the Tera raid system better not make a comeback it's broken and ****** and ******* torture playing

  • ExpansionLord Ryusoulger (@ExpansionLord) reported

    @LuigiBlood It's easier to pin the blame on the one using the law rather than the law itself, Nintendo isn't the law and never has been, if people have issues with it then it should be aimed at the legal system in place.

  • EmilMieilica Emil Mieilica (@EmilMieilica) reported

    @emilianbold @Nintendo Geo restrictions, especially those defined by the country that issued the credit card are the most idiotic feature of the modern world. I would turn into a single issue voter for this!

  • FreeGlass FreeGlass Art | フリーグラスの絵 (@FreeGlass) reported

    daily reminder that nintendo should fix the aiming, make the cockpit view optional, and re-do the Copterwing sections and re-release Star Fox Zero for Switch.

  • Tomyself2T Thinking Tomyself2 (@Tomyself2T) reported

    @NimpiLi @FOSSpatents @playnware Nintendo is a different problem all together. Between the work that Activision would have have to just to put a copy out for switch and what Nintendo players play it wouldn’t be worth it for either. MS is willing to do that work. More money to help recover the 69 million.

  • Ollie_is_arting Ollie (@Ollie_is_arting) reported

    I dont know if it's just me, or today and yesterday the splatoon 3 servers have just been Really ****** atm. I haven't been able to complete one match without getting a communication error. Currently unable to play for 20 mins. Nintendo needs to fix their musty *** potato server.

  • kentstupmi Ultimate Stupmiposting | TOTK Sweep (@kentstupmi) reported

    @thicc_stick_boi And what sub service does nintendo have lol NSO is a cloud save service/online service and nothing more This whole revenue split thing is a silly nothing burger talking point

  • lesliekaur18 leslie kaur🥓 (@lesliekaur18) reported

    Some players are reporting that the " /kill @e[type=endermen] " command is not working on their Nintendo Switch consoles. It's unclear if this is an issue with the game or with the console itself, but any assistance would be much appreciated!

  • nharmonya ro! 🌈💫 | #1 cha cha apologist (@nharmonya) reported

    so far ive seen one case where the exact same thing happened where she booted it up, it asked to update so she did, then it went to the new game screen........if redownloading doesnt fix this imma have to contact nintendo....I THOUGHT FOR SURE I BACKED MY ISLAND UP......

  • SamuelLucciano Lucciano S. Bartolini S. (@SamuelLucciano) reported

    @jirojairokai @NotHaru47 Nintendo can emulate their games because they own them. How else? Look, preservation IS exactly that. If a component breaks, then you have to fix it. It is the same to preserve architectures, you fix what gets broken to keep it alive.

  • JernstGame5995 GamesJernst (@JernstGame5995) reported

    @LegacyKillaHD Nintendo is the only company that releases games that aren't utterly broken at launch. I think we can all agree on that.

  • Reapers__au Steve (@Reapers__au) reported

    @Tim_Per21 @charlieINTEL the deal microsoft offered sony and nintendo was for the streaming services the deal was to put it ps plus day one which is sonys streaming service

  • tinaarenee Kristina ✨ (@tinaarenee) reported from Borough of Latrobe, Pennsylvania

    Problem is my sister uses DLC I purchased on my Nintendo account, so she wouldn’t be able to use the DLC on the secondary console anymore.

  • OrangeSoylent Soylent_Orange (@OrangeSoylent) reported

    @Dion8129 @Paladin000Dark @JAAY_ROCK_ I think part of the problem for me is I’m not very interested in what those first party games have been thus far, remakes and rehashes. If a third party game is released on PS5 and Nintendo, I’ll almost always buy it on Nintendo.

    Dear @Nintendo, I would like to give you money but: >Error Code: 9001-1670 > This content is currently unavailable. even on Mario games is ridiculous. Also, the EU is a single economic zone.
