    @NintendoAmerica Let's hope the right control stick doesn't have any drifting problems ok?

  • HorizonZeroJohn John Jasunas (@HorizonZeroJohn) reported

    @sandiano8 @vicious696 And if Nintendo fans find they like the games but don’t like streaming due to latency or visual quality issues maybe they would be more inclined to buy Xbox hardware to play those games locally

  • craigtimmons642 craig (@craigtimmons642) reported

    @JoCwabba @NintendoAmerica Then don't buy it there's i solved the problem for you

  • xoartio ThisIsArt (@xoartio) reported

    @Voltage_Love365 Hello there, I'm having trouble with your game DLC, "Kissed by the Baddest Bidder" on Nintendo Switch. Is this the right place to tell you about it? Or is there any email address I can send inquiry to?

  • Wingedwolf111 Matthew Williamson (@Wingedwolf111) reported

    @PeanutStuffs @TwistingTop @NintendoAmerica To fix my spelling errors Your right the GCN games had a free camera (been years since I played.) But both the Wii TP and Wii SS did not have free camera.

  • NaisugaiXD Nai (@NaisugaiXD) reported

    @cloud154532 @ItsAMarioThyme @NintendoAmerica People didn't have a problem throwing 50$ for a old game again and no one ******* about it. If I had a switch I would get it for the fact I can see how it feel playing it without the motion controls which a majority didn't like.

  • JeffMan1490 Super JeffTendo (@JeffMan1490) reported

    @NintendoAmerica A better option for anyone who have problems with their arms.

  • Rocky2815golden Rocky 🏳️‍🌈 🐉 (@Rocky2815golden) reported

    @NintendoAmerica p.s don’t even try to call me a nintendo fan boy as i’m not a boy and i’m don’t only defends nintendo as i’ve called nintendo on there poor business decisions and choices like the for example the overpriced paid subscription online service for the nintendo switch.

  • sentientsixp sentient 6 (@sentientsixp) reported

    @EmteCoke That never really stopped any of these companies. It’s funny because Nintendo has this issue so much after their historic lawsuit with Universal.

  • craigtimmons642 craig (@craigtimmons642) reported

    @Rocky2815golden @NintendoAmerica Not use saying that people will still complain because well they probably think ever game should be free oh 60 id to expensive they say well if it's to much don't buy problem solved

  • insanelybuff exbuff (@insanelybuff) reported

    @sebmal i feel like they have to have some other service coming or another ace up their sleeve because they can't be this stupid, but it's nintendo

  • meowtendo Meowtendo 🎮 🐈 (@meowtendo) reported

    @marvelus_10 @markl1109 @analogue A year ago/before was right at the beginning of the pandemic, so of course it wasn't an issue just yet. Even Nintendo started having production problems, and no one slammed them like they have small companies that have way less control over problems like this.

  • ila_pow Motor City Levar Burton (@ila_pow) reported

    @LaJethroJenkins Did he run into some trouble with Nintendo over the sample though? It's from Mario World and Miyamoto don't play that ****. I listened to it on Spotify not too long ago and it was changed.

  • AbeDeDino 🪴🌲🍄Abe🍄🌲🪴 (@AbeDeDino) reported

    Nintendo really complains that piracy is a big issue but continues to refuse any price drops on their games and is still planning on limited releasing others...

  • Viper_031 Viper031 (@Viper_031) reported

    Don't know what Nintendo did in that last splatoon update but the game has been unplayable since, literally getting disconnects or horrible lag every match

  • AlphaRed359 AlphaRed (@AlphaRed359) reported

    @RoxieLolbit @NintendoAmerica And hey, a problem I've heard some people had with Skyward Sword with motion controls was that they were left handed, and couldn't use the Wiimote properly as a result, so this fixes that

  • Rocky2815golden Rocky 🏳️‍🌈 🐉 (@Rocky2815golden) reported

    @GamerGB1988 @QuoteTheRobott @NintendoAmerica meant to put it is stupid auto correct twitter needs an edit button also don’t try calling me part of the problem

  • ClickClank9 Noah Young (@ClickClank9) reported

    Wife bought me a Nintendo switch lite from @target today. Opened it up and it was used. Had someone’s account on there and left joystick broken. Awesome job here @Target

  • txscreenwriter Alan Tregoning (@txscreenwriter) reported

    @NintendoAmerica my daughter received a nintendo gift card for her birthday but scratched too hard and con no longer read the entire code. How can we fix this issue?

  • MetMetallic Metallic Met (@MetMetallic) reported

    @JakeofAura @Lewchube I'm not blaming Nintendo of Japan, despite their own set of problems. I'm pointing to Nintendo of America's problems and how they aren't they don't act the same way as they were years ago.

  • AlchemistGira BoTW2 news later this year (@AlchemistGira) reported

    The problem is zelda will never leak because Nintendo keeps it tighter than the vault Disney does for its DVD re-releases

  • crazyseandx CrazySean 🏳️‍🌈🌊#BLM (@crazyseandx) reported

    I swear, this method would save Nintendo a lot of problems and money if we were able to do this for the JoyCons, but with the way they're built, I'd bet it'd make things worse or short them out.

  • Wu2King Wu2King 🇵🇷 (@Wu2King) reported

    Ordered a new power cable for my Nintendo Switch. Hopefully it was just the original power cable that was broken and not the console. 😭

  • frost_wolfang Zachary ★ (@frost_wolfang) reported

    @Redtor_Maximo @nichegamer Dominance =/= Monopoly Not Nintendo's fault (or problem) the competition has no ground (XBOX) and is actively sabotaging its own market viability (SONY.)

  • m0mlyn PFIZER PAPI (@m0mlyn) reported

    anyone in need of a brand new nintendo switch dock? i can sell you mine! bought another one hoping that my switch would work on it, but my actual switch is just broken lol.

  • mrclidexx mrclidexx | #SoraForSmash (@mrclidexx) reported

    AND HE FELL OUT OF UP B I IMMENSLY DISLIKE IT HERE @NintendoAmerica @NintendoVS fix your game your buffs didnt work bro

  • symbiomancer Matthew Evanusa (@symbiomancer) reported

    pokemon could easily do what dragonquest 11 did and make a 2d sprite version in the same game for those who want it @NintendoAmerica @Pokemon problem solved

  • Michael06379669 Michael Sinclair (@Michael06379669) reported

    @GodsofSkyforge Can u tell me when Nintendo switch drops the fix update as really fed up of sound crackling at times, affecting gameplay at times and some of characters r not speaking or speaking fast for subtitles when they do. In story so far. Marcus and ianna won't speak but gravedigger did

  • Thor_SSB Thor (@Thor_SSB) reported

    @Dom_ssb A year? Hmmm, what's something that's lasted for a year... Oh yeah, your Nintendo online membership! Hope they fix it soon

  • hummusloverr hummus (@hummusloverr) reported

    @omega_apex128 @NintendoAmerica The problem is they released a super Mario game with three games in it for $60, super Mario sunshine is just as worth of a game and skyward sword. The pricing for this game is clearly off at the very least they should’ve made it a twin pack or something
