    @CKeybladeMaster Some people like it, others dont. Its really a small issue tbh. Its just another thing to add to the list of Nintendo’s weird as **** choices. Why make a macro of two button presses for a short hop when you can just make it a mappble function for players to put wherever they want

  • bigsmonke my piss burns (@bigsmonke) reported

    @Zari_Wari I have double dipped on both crash and master chief. The fact that I can buy those games twice for only 20 dollars more than a bare minimum nintendo port hurts

    WHY IS NINTENDO ESHOP NOT WORKING

  • DiederichLucas lucas diederich (@DiederichLucas) reported

    @BatsTheLewdie @NintendoAmerica @playninjala If I insult myself... it’s because I want to improve... You cannot succeed by accepting/ignoring problems...

  • dyrocc Dyrocc (@dyrocc) reported

    Nintendo needs to fix this. I for one don't care about world records but I know this can cause mental and even self-esteem issues to some if despite their best efforts they're always out ran by a hacker with an ego problem.

  • Jirachibi1000 Jirachibi (@Jirachibi1000) reported

    @stinkshowlive @TheDuperghoul @JonComms Problem is Nintendo's bad used too. Odyssey came out in 2017 and its still 50 bucks used most places and 60 new. If Nintendo DOES go 70, used prices will be like 5-10 dollars off at most.

  • msdrvous_Time misdrievous | E3 is Happening This Year (@msdrvous_Time) reported

    @TheChoZenOneNJ ...NOT about every single move he could potentially have. Don't take what I am saying out of context. I didn't say anything against Bomberman other than his moveset. On all other fronts he would be a suitable fit, so "not being Nintendo enough" is clearly not the issue here.

  • EnglishAction17 José (@EnglishAction17) reported

    @NintendoAmerica @playninjala Bad game with a small fanbase that refuses to let it die. I quitted it after they didn't fix anything during the first season, you can't even buy things without money because the only currency it has is cash. They gift like 100 jala pero month lmao, cash grab game

  • Mini_Pixelz Brawl Render Ganondorf lol (@Mini_Pixelz) reported

    My Nintendo online membership got expired... smh I have to buy money for dogshit wifi service lol

  • frankjnovak Frank Novak (@frankjnovak) reported

    Still disappointed with @NintendoAmerica and the quality of the repair service I paid over $100 for. They sent a replacement Switch to my son but the screen was far more scratched than the one we sent in.

  • MDispleased Mildly Displeased. (@MDispleased) reported

    @TAHK0 I don't think they're coming, I think Crash is more likely as he isn't actually owned by Sony, also I'm pretty sure a game from the same franchise must have been on a Nintendo system.

  • anarchyKaos666 Francisco Ledesma (@anarchyKaos666) reported

    @GuillarmoSalva1 @RetroGameGuys Same. I liked when mags would compare console specs. My fave was Diehard Gamefan, but I did some Nintendo Power, Sega Visions and Gamepro too. I think I had a few issues of EGM. There are magazine archives online too tho.

  • Sparks_N_Zeros Sparks N Zeros (@Sparks_N_Zeros) reported

    @DamienMcFerran @nintendolife my thoughts were as much logistics issues, nintendo likely didn't want more bad press from not being able to supply enough gameboy/n64 classics. the other issue mainly for n64 was licensed games being the systems saving grace when it came to genre diversity.

  • Don_Pannecake Adrian (@Don_Pannecake) reported

    @joserachi96 It took them so many years to replace the online servers so I'm not surprised tbh, Nintendo is really lagging behind and they have only themselves to blame 😔 There is plenty of fan feedback online, so they could easily do more to make their games better but they just ignore it

  • rhapsodyingeek Tim! (@rhapsodyingeek) reported

    @TAHK0 Sora and Crash have both had games on Nintendo consoles. Sora and Crash qualify for Smash.

  • badassrivaille Sarah (@badassrivaille) reported

    @CapezioRena That's a **** explanation... Is there a way to ship it back to Nintendo to see if they can fix it? Or does it have to be a specific problem like joycon drift?

  • sarahbobaraa Sarah B (@sarahbobaraa) reported

    @NintendoCanada I can’t make a purchase from your shop and when I called was told there’s an outage. When will this be fixed? Trying to pay a company money has never been this challenging.

  • Greg16820259 king.greg. (@Greg16820259) reported

    @NintendoAmerica Can you guys make Mario kart on smart phone offline because I have network issues at my location so I don't enjoy the game

  • KimBWhoIsShe Kimberly Brazier 🤓 (@KimBWhoIsShe) reported

    *pulls out brain and blows it like a Nintendo cartridge* Okay, it’s focus-o’clock do not glitch out on me now.

  • rhapsodyingeek Tim! (@rhapsodyingeek) reported

    @Wingedwolf111 @TAHK0 We have 3 Capcom, 2 Sega, 3 Square-Enix, 3 Konami, 2 Microsoft, 1 Bandai-Namco, and 1 SNK owned characters, all of whom had games on Nintendo consoles. Crash Bandicoot and Rayman are far more likely.

    @dianahorizons @jettingjessica yeah i wish nintendo was more transparent with issues or at least have a animal crossing team that can be more transparent with players and listen to bugs or glitches in the game like the sims 4 is really good at that i wish nintendo would do that

  • JacksonLotan Lotan Jackson (@JacksonLotan) reported

    @SpawnWaveMedia No problem. My uncle works at Nintendo

  • Smarmcharm (~ ̄▽ ̄)~ | BLM (@Smarmcharm) reported

    @abandonwind0w Send it in to Nintendo! They can generally fix them quickly! Wouldn’t be ready for this launch but they don’t take long to fix!

  • ShihaiAlmaVT Shihai Alma | PRINCEtuber! (@ShihaiAlmaVT) reported

    @VTuberOfTheDay Hard to believe that nearly a decade ago, a young prince sat in the local library with an already outdated issue of Nintendo Power, reading about some fort building survival game with zombies, and wondered if it would be any good. If only he knew...

  • rhapsodyingeek Tim! (@rhapsodyingeek) reported

    @TAHK0 The 3 "rules" that Sakurai laid out in the Brawl interview & has yet to break: 1) Originate in a video game 2) Series has significance in video game history 3) Series has been on a Nintendo console Almost 100 fighters in and he's *never* broken those. Wouldn't expect him to now.

  • instant_train Taylor Eruysal (@instant_train) reported

    387 days after my Joycons started drifting, I FINALLY got a UPS order today to send them in for Nintendo's repair services. Yeesh. Gamer problems, huh?

  • KHover4life DangoBango(in tourney)/Khlover/whatever on discord (@KHover4life) reported

    Why is the ability to go faster through a level locked behind the relationship level with the horse in miitopia nintendo? And it's rng on top of that? That's such a dumb design decision. That was one of the biggest issues with the original, the amount of backtracking to get

  • DiederichLucas lucas diederich (@DiederichLucas) reported

    @BatsTheLewdie @NintendoAmerica @playninjala Because in order to fix problems, the problems need to be identified and accepted as an issue...
