    @PJiggles_ Well, if you had problems with SS then there is already a solution for this, it's called BOTW. I love the fact that SS was so awful that made Nintendo change the entire formula of their most prestigious franchise.

  • JonDoyleDesign Jon Doyle @Lostincult (@JonDoyleDesign) reported

    @stellarmind1010 Right now - I’ve never seen Sony try and copy Nintendo’s model as much as they are now (not a bad thing, high rrp games, hardware focus, single player and first party share growth / external partnerships for live service) is smart middle ground, but deffo leaning more ninty

  • HEYimHeroic i'm alice (@HEYimHeroic) reported

    @NintendoUK $40 at most if this is really all you have planned to add/fix from the Wii release

  • MarioMario31802 Mario Mario (@MarioMario31802) reported

    @kristjian @NintendoAmerica They aren't forcing you to get it, stop acting like it's a problem

  • JCNightwing Jacob Caruso 🐻🐦 (@JCNightwing) reported

    @supersmashbot3 I want crash a ton but I understand why they went for xenoblade especially for how popular it is for Nintendo

    @nintendolife Nintendo LABO: Joy-Con Fix Kit

  • NintendoShame Nintendo Shame (@NintendoShame) reported

    It's been 147 days since the last game was added to the Nintendo Switch Online service

  • PlatinumRevo Leony @ STRIVE (@PlatinumRevo) reported

    @Spazerbeams Wasn't there also a disastrous bug that in order to fix it you had to send your infected Wii to Nintendo??

  • madhungrycrying siblingZott (@madhungrycrying) reported

    @VinePotato Will do. Nintendo could fix this so easily, just changing the housing to have a raised square underneath it or hell, keep them the same and add a thick sticker it infuriates me knowing they probably knew how to fix it after the first few thousand complaints

  • WweNikki25 Nick Bersito (@WweNikki25) reported

    @nintendolife The only way you can resolve joycon drift is to buy a new pair of joycons for 79 dollars that would fix the issue not even worth sending it back to Nintendo for Repair cause you won’t get the same ones back @nintendolife

  • StrongMoist moist 🔞 COMMS OPEN check pinned tweet (@StrongMoist) reported

    I don't give 2 shits about the Nickelodeon smash clone but if it actually does well enough to make Nintendo realise they're only succeeding on brand recognition alone and need to properly encourage an online scene and fix their service, I welcome the SpongeBob tourney highlights

  • Ruxaroh Ruxaroh (@Ruxaroh) reported

    @MDCPotter @FergieMIC @NintendoUK I have not used the new store much, but its worked fine for me every time, seems like there are some teething problems though.

  • Skail_Fabi Skail|Fabi (@Skail_Fabi) reported

    @based_beek Smash Ultimate 60€ for the game + 25€ & 30€ for Fighters Pass 1 & 2 = 115€ Not to forget Nintendo Online, tho it´s not Smash-exclusive. But wifi is one way I play the game and 2 years of Ultimate means 2x 20€ on top for the service. So I´m at 155€ now, with more to come

  • HamzaSa21800118 Raymachine (@HamzaSa21800118) reported

    @NintendoAmerica Fix online

  • MaliciousBugMan Malicious Bug Man™ (@MaliciousBugMan) reported

    @Fluffynator2 @AloofPlays @ArloStuff With Nintendo's history of build quality and modernity with the Switch, it feels irresponsible to have display tech more prone to retention/burn-in, esp. w/out new hardware (ah!) to do background work to reduce the issue + how unlikely they've chosen refined modern OLED tech.

  • RealSvyart SVY (COMISIONS OPEN) (@RealSvyart) reported

    but yea yea i first try to fix it myself if it dosen't work out i just get a Xbox controler or a Nintendo controler that its like 15 bucks, so that i can afford but i hope th is mf will not break for 3 years lol atleast foking last i dont know xD ff shake

  • deanthethe deanthethe (@deanthethe) reported

    How many years do you guys think it'll be until the nintentards finally learn that it's not Nintendo's fault that most of the people using their service just so happen to have ****** internet #NintendoSwitch

  • JayD51 JayD (@JayD51) reported

    @GamingSinceNES @UmbraInfinite @danno_omen Shouldn't need to make excuses for the largest platform/ecosystem... Nintendo and Xbox had no trouble making ppls list...

  • FactsGW Awesome G&W Facts (@FactsGW) reported

    cant wait to see the day when a Nintendo youtuber is counting down the top ten most broken characters in #NickelodeonAllStarBrawl according to their frame data with a minimum runtime of 15 minutes and a thumbnail that looks like it just got out of the rinse cycle

  • JoshTheBot5 Crusader Josh (@JoshTheBot5) reported

    @DemeechYT if you send it to nintendo they'll replace or fix it for free

  • TornadoScrappy The Scrappy Tornado (@TornadoScrappy) reported

    @fourhman Hot take: I was never bothered by the motion controls in this game. The game’s issue were more from pacing and the strange mentality from Nintendo they people didn’t know how to play a video game

  • DevTwoThousand Dev (@DevTwoThousand) reported

    The problem with playing Monster Hunter Stories 2: Wings of Ruin for the Nintendo Switch until 4 AM yesterday is that I'm probably gonna do it again today because I'm a ******* menace to my own health.

  • JaxMarty JaxMarty (@JaxMarty) reported

    @LazyBearGames @Nintendo I get random crashes frequently when entering/exiting buildings, workbenches, dungeon and at the end of resting. Only played the game with all dlc so i dont know how it was before. Its so bad now i wont finish unless there is a fix.

  • EricMcgrath19 Grim-TNT is Fully Vaccinated 🇮🇪🏳️‍🌈 (@EricMcgrath19) reported

    Since the dawn of 2021 I have broken an oven door, hoover, toaster, Kettle, my phone, freezer handle at work, car door handle, Nintendo DS and the window latch.

  • soulripper30 soul (@soulripper30) reported

    @HamzaSa21800118 @Mango_Magician @NintendoAmerica The Crash Trilogy was only 30 fps (and not even stable). Skyward Sword HD runs at 60 fps.

  • RoninTaizen 𝓜𝓪𝓻𝓴 (@RoninTaizen) reported

    I try to connect my Switch to our WiFi connection. It gave me an error but I went to the connection settings and it somehow is connected. Tested the connection and it really is. Nintendo’s hardware is truly questionable.

  • JonDoyleDesign Jon Doyle @Lostincult (@JonDoyleDesign) reported

    @stellarmind1010 Sony either needs to follow Nintendo if they plan to stay in single player blockbusters and hardware or follow Xbox if they plan for live service, cloud and subscriptions/ dropping hardware

  • Yeahhhboyyy2 Yeahhhboyyy (@Yeahhhboyyy2) reported

    @AboutNintendo Isn't there a official article saying that the game is literally unfinished Then theses melee fans find 1 "problem" (aka something that was in melee Isn't in this) and that's enough to write the game off completely The cry "what about us" when Nintendo makes a ultimate tourny

  • LugiaFan76 Ping (@LugiaFan76) reported

    This game makes me so unhappy now I can't get anywhere with brush, k52 is unfun, solo is just stagnant or so volatile that it makes it worthless grinding and knowing Nintendo isn't going to fix anything meaningful I might as well just quit

  • SriramAshish1 Sriram Ashish (@SriramAshish1) reported

    @DaXboxUniverse @Nibellion And nintendo couldn't afford to take a risk by making switch powerful after the disaster called WII U , which would make it expensive to produce and sell. Nintendo fixed the major issues with the game and that's all I care about. The game is fun, that's all which matters.
