  • frik_tano JV (@frik_tano) reported

    @Chime $jovillegas97 - I also sent a request on the app as well. Having issues with transactions on the Nintendo store but have purchased from there before with my card.

  • J_Lan__ JLan (@J_Lan__) reported

    My friend sold me a New Nintendo 3DS XL that is the Galaxy edition for like $15. But the R button is broken. Anyone recommend anyone that can fix it cheap-ish?

  • DcGamer05 DcGamer05 (@DcGamer05) reported

    @nintendo why is Nintendo switch online so horrible why do players disconnect constantly? Seems like a lot of money for not good service #NintendoSwitchOnline

  • Rycaster Ryan Adventure 2 (@Rycaster) reported

    The live Nintendo NY reactions to the Smash trailers will be sorely missed, but Minecraft Steve’s reveal being the only thing that has actually broken Twitter in real time carries a very different kind of energy

  • A_Guster_Buster 🐮💛Guster Buster💛🐮 (@A_Guster_Buster) reported

    @furrycharm If you think me pointing out a localization error with a nintendo game means I hate non binary people, you're stupid. Also I'm sorry but if I spend 8+ hours a day with a NB person, obviously I like them.

  • BacchusMidwest BacchusOfTheMidwest (@BacchusMidwest) reported

    @Danny8bit pokemon has alot of love and polish put into it. digimon is the trash bin for bandai and is treated like the garbage it is by bandai and its us fans who fix it into being worth loving. pokemon is the rich kid with a nintendo digimon is the smelly kid that we make out bestfriend

  • ElijahRock12 Elijah Rock! (@ElijahRock12) reported

    @echidnaforever @FRKSCHEEKS the issue isnt if it will actually be bad, this issue is what some people will think about it. all it takes is one guys grandma thinking "absolutely not" for nintendo, sakurai, and more to have to deal with a whole lot. way easier to censor and deal with angry simps

  • alkhat19 بيان (@alkhat19) reported

    i truly believe a nintendo switch would fix my life

  • JamesV_Jr James Vacca (@JamesV_Jr) reported

    @MarcMethot3 @NintendoAmerica Crash Team Racing: Nitro Feuled. It doesn’t have the ridiculous level of rubberbanding and item distribution. It also rewards skilled drivers.

  • KemosabeOlivas HeyZeus (@KemosabeOlivas) reported

    Hey Nintendo, FIX YOUR GARBAGE *** ONLINE SUPPORT

  • TimeLoopy LooperLoopyTime! (@TimeLoopy) reported

    @Adrian_Spl Fix your servers for Splatoon 3, Nintendo. I’mma be honest and say I doubt using a wired connection would make a difference in all this, cuz I surely can’t feel a difference.

  • PissedOffGaz TheStanimal (@PissedOffGaz) reported

    @danno_omen People had no problem paying £35-40 for a Super Nintendo or Megadrive game 35 years ago so whats changed? That money back then must be almost equivalent to £70 these days! If anything games have been cheap since the PS1 came out.

  • patricknotirl patrick (@patricknotirl) reported

    nintendo wii broken

  • BigSmoov007 BigShotSmoov007 (@BigSmoov007) reported

    @Puertorock77_ Pretty funny because the want Sony to follow the 3rd place leader while they are in 2nd behind Nintendo. Two companies that don't put new games out day and date on a sub service.

  • ranyang7888 RAN9878 (@ranyang7888) reported

    @pcgamer Can Nintendo download steam or use steam streaming service?

  • OodlesofLoodles 🔞oodles of loodles🔞 (@OodlesofLoodles) reported

    @AmiFFXIV Maybe?! Though pretty sure Nintendo would find issue with that claim xD

  • oliver_drk Oliver Darko (@oliver_drk) reported

    @Freeman79a @RoyalRoy79 @Puertorock77_ Nintendo already has a subscription service. In fact Nintendo's subscription service has more subscribers than Xbox Game Pass.

  • HugoP_SSBM Hugo Prolovski (@HugoP_SSBM) reported

    @Jaja27511131 @LiquidHbox the problem isnt evo but nintendo

  • kosiris_ Naomi (@kosiris_) reported

    Please fix this 😭 @Nintendo @NintendoAmerica @NintendoFrance

  • Raphael35XX Rafael🐶 (@Raphael35XX) reported

    @IntroSpecktive If only nintendo would fix the grass textures on the wave 1 and 2 and every single wave, also i would aporeciate them fixing the cliffs, trees and bushes, flowers, plants Reuse the assets of the base game

  • GregJoh56007260 Groggy, from The North (@GregJoh56007260) reported

    @MarcMethot3 @NintendoAmerica Same when I play with my 7 yr old son. Always getting pelted with shells towards the end of the final lap as well. The problem is that he’s usually in 5th or 6th, so sometimes neither of us win.

  • Twinwar Twinwar (@Twinwar) reported

    @PG_Quip Only for xbox. Sony, nintendo, or hell even steam don't put AAA games on a day one rental service program.

  • S1X29970218 ♡ S1X ♡ (Cait) (@S1X29970218) reported

    @MartinLone3 Personally, i like some of them. The problem is nintendo themselves I hate nintendo

  • Kyoudai____ Kyoudai (@Kyoudai____) reported

    @HugoP_SSBM @Jaja27511131 @LiquidHbox Sony owns Evo, and Nintendo is Sony's direct Japanese competitor, and Sony doesn't play nice with their direct JP competition; and vice-versa. The problem is Evo cause Sony wont allow their JP rival to be promoted at their event. Sony doesn't even want to share spotlight at E3!

  • noisyclutter eli (@noisyclutter) reported

    Does anyone know how to fix drifting on a Nintendo switch controller

  • khaisuu ‏ً (@khaisuu) reported

    maybe a nintendo switch could fix me

  • rams2hurricanes Rams Bruins Trojans Dodgers (@rams2hurricanes) reported

    @NintendoAmerica I just brought @EASPORTSFIFA 22 Legacy Edition and @NeedforSpeed Hot Pursuit for Nintendo Switch and it won't let me play offline ?? I'm done with Nintendo 🚫 won't by anymore games from y'all. Plus y'all online service suck anyway smh

  • Bismuth84 Beattie Lesnick ⏫⏬↔️↔️🅱️🅰️⏯5️⃣7️⃣3️⃣ (@Bismuth84) reported

    Small break here while coming up with more ideas: I was considering adding Ash from Pokémon, but then I realized Nintendo would probably have issues with that.

  • oliver_drk Oliver Darko (@oliver_drk) reported

    @RoyalRoy79 @Puertorock77_ Because the idea of Nintendo putting Zelda Breath Of The Wild 2, next Mario or their Pokemon games into a subscription service is ridiculous.

  • Adude52190366 A dude (@Adude52190366) reported

    @ranyang7888 @xboxBG There are problems of course, as you stated previously, but imo, they're normal for a multinational conglomerate such as Microsoft, Sony, Nintendo, Apple etc In this case, I don't really look into it
