  • JafetBautista7 jafet 🤮 (@JafetBautista7) reported

    @MysticSushii @IntroSpecktive I mean yea but cloud save data should still be an option in the event it gets stolen or broken especially for a main Nintendo series game like Pokémon

  • Codemakura Code-Katie / UR Everynight Catgirl Vtuber🐾💤 (@Codemakura) reported

    @RaeGun2k I knowww right, like I can understand the control scheme hindering and putting people off it -- I really wish Nintendo could consider a re-release on the Switch, which might finally address those issues somewhatttt. But yeah for people who did play it, it was a real gem 💖

  • Zowayix Megan 🐈 (@Zowayix) reported

    Nintendo games are once again in the news for preservation of them being an issue (DSiWare being delisted on 3DS shop) Company that makes deliberately limited amounts of physical copies: For some reason we will act like it's our time to shine

  • PaulShadowz PaulShadows (@PaulShadowz) reported

    @NintendoUK I was waiting for a "Piracy is no Party" error message. I'm disappointed.

  • Nintenboiii Sylveon the Full Cream Alcremist (@Nintenboiii) reported

    @J708289669 Nintendo got the monopoly over the video game industry because the others fell from the video game crash. Until Sega did what Nintendon't.

    tly interact with each other over Wi-Fi within a short range without the need to connect to an existing wireless network. Alternatively, they could interact online using the now-defunct Nintendo Wi-Fi Connection service. Its main competitor was Sony's PlayStation Portable during

  • StayingOdd Emo, of the Midwest kind (@StayingOdd) reported

    @Jugglamaggot @MortalKombat Yo, I just found this thread and I've been having the same issue! I can easily find a match on my PS4 version of MK11 but for some reason I've haven't found a single match on my Nintendo Switch.

  • LonkinPork your iPod Nano library c. 2005 (@LonkinPork) reported

    @time_pizzer @CullBear55 @semifreqsonic and I love when mouthbreathing sanic fans dig as hard as they can for singular bugs in Nintendo games as a cope for how every 3D sanic game since SA2 is a broken and unplayable trash fire.

  • DDR4_Gaming ✨ DDR4 ✨ (@DDR4_Gaming) reported

    @AnimationFan3 @ZiagoT25 I'll list one thing for each, currently: Nintendo has portability. Xbox has gamepass. PS has VR. You do realise that if exclusives didn't exist they'd have to innovate in other ways. The subscription service would get better and online would likely be free.

  • gosokkyu GSK | https://secure.actblue.com/donate/ab_mn (@gosokkyu) reported

    my immediate hunch is that this is some sort of glitch or back-end error and not an intentional delisting, as Nintendo doesn't typically pull things without advance notice

  • JeffPDavis JeffreyPDavis (@JeffPDavis) reported

    @Jessguy22 Try calling Nintendo and set up a talk with someone. PlayStation is going to let me send in my broken PS3. Apparently customer service is coming back!

  • Mikey32724264 Mikey (@Mikey32724264) reported

    @FortniteStatus Has anyone else had this problem where if you buy something on nintendo switch item shop it also takes the vbucks from ps4

  • LukePS7013 Luke Spencer (@LukePS7013) reported

    @mariosonic500 @NinEverything It seems like DSiWare games that were released in 2009-2011 had some security issues which lets hackers exploit the 3DS easier Although I don’t know why Nintendo isn’t just letting it go, they’ve already discontinued the thing

  • _Alexander_Icon Alex Ri (@_Alexander_Icon) reported

    @DCUO Hi can you please Fix cape of renegade when you put any material it gets invisible! Please fix it Nintendo switch

  • Praisedscooter Tyler (@Praisedscooter) reported

    @PKSparkxx I think that's mainly a Nintendo Switch issue. You'd have to see what other versions of the game do in those regards.

  • PlaysSink Sink Plays MINECRAFT YT (@PlaysSink) reported

    @Miracle_ssbu @MojangSupport I can promise they don't care man, I report so many issues like this, only to get their generic template replies. Bedrock is just doomed on the Nintendo

  • Gettler91 Arel miller (@Gettler91) reported

    @noobde Ed, are you and your team at the studio and @wbgames and @WBGamesSupport going to address the issue going on with the Nintendo Switch version and the servers if they are true or not because apparently no one can play get matches in Kombat League. Help us out her Ed

  • duckinweebdude That one dude (@duckinweebdude) reported

    @Gmaniacalt Big reason why a lot fans are begging devs to make good rollback netcode the standard for online. Arcsys said they’ll have that for their future games I think but sometimes you get studios like Capcom or Nintendo where the fans fix the online for free then they shut it down

  • JDawgInTheMist Justin Denton (@JDawgInTheMist) reported

    Nobody is speaking up about it since nobody is playing your game anymore. @NintendoAmerica @MojangSupport Minecraft dungeons crashes so unbelievably often it’s not even funny. Just once I’d love to hop on and enjoy the game. Now the base game content is crashing. Ridiculous...fix

  • PorcelainStarrs 💀Kayla☆ 🎀 (@PorcelainStarrs) reported

    @koala_heist Nah mine hasn't started drifting but its definitely a known problem with the Joycons unfortunately 😕 I believe you could reach out to Nintendo of America to see if they can do repairs or you could just invest in a new set. They're a little pricey tho 😩

  • DynamoSuperX JOURDON⚡ (@DynamoSuperX) reported

    @KingGeoshi64 That's what I said. Nintendo and Racjin dipped after London leaving Sega to develop the series which might be the problem

  • ForsakenM45 ForsakenM (@ForsakenM45) reported

    @tjohansen98 @jinjo360 In other words, no one would be complaining if Smash 4 had had less FE characters in it's roster, seeing most of them return for Ultimate. FE is now considered by Nintendo to be up there with their bigger IPs, so the issue with Byleth is honestly just Nintendo fans in denial.

  • HolyRabbid Judge Fidler (@HolyRabbid) reported

    @LineGutter That's where my issue lies. What I want to pay and what I can currently afford are far enough from each other that you could buy a new Nintendo Switch. @_@

  • johnnyMcG3 Johnny McGowan (@johnnyMcG3) reported

    @NintendoAmerica is there any way you could make Mario party a non local online service so that I can play with friends that live far away? :/

  • le7ouch nj ♡✧ (@le7ouch) reported

    i bricked my cfw nintendo 3ds and I'm too lazy to fix it 🙄

  • LaurenLDarnell Lauren “Watch for Falling Iguanas” Darnell (@LaurenLDarnell) reported

    @NintendoAmerica any idea why my son’s Minecraft on switch won’t load? It won’t even left him hit the play button. Other profiles can just not his all of the sudden. I’ve got a pretty heart broken mine crafter on my hands.

  • MasterJPal7 Joey Fox: Artist named MasterGhostUnlimited (@MasterJPal7) reported

    @InsanityPilgrim Plus there is always one big problem being laras design original she was busty and always used her pistol and wore small shorts but Nintendo probably wouldn't even try to add her

  • DrMacinyasha Denham C. (@DrMacinyasha) reported

    @tweethue Have an HDMI sync box. With HDMI switching turned off, it keeps switching to my Nvidia Shield on HDMI 3, my Nintendo Switch dock on HDMI 2 (with no Switch in it) and will not switch to HDMI 1 despite my Logitech Harmony Hub sending the HDMI 1 IR signal. How to fix?

  • SmokeComrade Putrid Moldyman (@SmokeComrade) reported

    @SuperNGuy @TheNintendoFeed The issue isnt that theyre nintendo characters, its that there are so many other better nintendo characters they could have added

  • Daniell93920974 Electabuzz #BLM 🏳️‍🌈 (@Daniell93920974) reported

    @Dankcakes_art And Nintendo refuses to fix it, and instead wants you to spend like $60-$80 on a controller
