    @moon__hotel I've got a Nintendo Online subscription, so I could give that a shot. Really, though - this is supposed to be the easiest non-tutorial boss in the game, so if I need to summon outside help to get through it, I'm probably gonna have *real* problems with the rest of the game.

  • IsisTarski Isis Tarski (@IsisTarski) reported

    Well trying figure out what going with my mom Nintendo switch its not charging at all I think she got a Defected one she bare plays on it 🤔 I wonder if Nintendo can fix it

  • HsgvensSon 𝙃𝙨𝙜𝙫𝙚𝙣𝙨 (@HsgvensSon) reported

    I dont think jarrett punched a wall lmfao yall rly think he would do that? Plus he cant play nintendo with a broken finger so he definitely didn’t punch a wall

  • soopahgamer Soopah TO/Gamer/Developer/and more (@soopahgamer) reported

    Pro Controller started Drifting and it seems like a Permanent problem. Also I don't have £60 to drop on ANOTHER ******* CONTROLLER Back to GC for now. I miss when Nintendo made solid stuff that didnt drift

  • OaoseOreo Oreo (@OaoseOreo) reported

    @CamuuShamuu No worries! Honestly I love Xbox controllers, since they just work, no muss no fuss. I've had super bad issues with Nintendo Pro controllers on PC myself actually, they just wig out horribly no matter what app I try to use haha

  • biden_cameron Cameron biden (@biden_cameron) reported

    @GameSpot Monopoly: the exclusive possession or control of the supply of or trade in a commodity or service. Blizzard isn’t that big of a company to make this a monopoly. Maybe if they bought out Sony and Nintendo

  • bulbaxore 🎀peach (@bulbaxore) reported

    @bamzuka that’s so stupid 😭 nintendo fr needs to fix them a little bit cuz it’s such a downgrade from the regular mass outbreaks

  • r5abyss Daniel Haugen (@r5abyss) reported

    @PlayerEssence @ErrantNerd @LakituBro Hmm this is the second time you read wrong. 1. What i said about Triangle Strategy. 2. Now about the video you did about critisie Nintendo. I said i have never seen you do that, which you clearly did 1 year ago. Maybe you read 2 fast. Its a common issue

  • Kris_Shaver18 Kristen Shaver (@Kris_Shaver18) reported

    @LexiSatt Yes apparently Nintendo will fix Joy cons for free...via their official webset

  • r5abyss Daniel Haugen (@r5abyss) reported

    @PlayerEssence @StregaDies @LakituBro This has nothing to do with rpgs. I dont even understand why you think that. What i said is that you clearly favor Nintendo games over other consoles. Which is fine. But you clearly have problems about people having opinions that differs from yours. Have a nice life friend

  • LuigiBlood Yakumono (@LuigiBlood) reported

    Not to mention the serial number on the front suggests a blue disk with formatting issues. It doesn't mean it's useless, because Nintendo still provided a way to fix those, but our last encounters with those disks simply were never used or fixed.

  • RealBirdyBlue Patrick (@RealBirdyBlue) reported

    Wowee Papa Nintendo! You want me to fork over $50 to temporarily own Majora's mask on the switch instead of just releasing it as it's own entity seperate from your ****** online service?! The same online service that was actually free at the Switch's launch!? You're so gracious!

  • MDPogU MD (@MDPogU) reported

    This garbage dogshit Nintendo Switch Stick Drift is gonna make me go crazy. It's riducolously bad and to fix it I need to pay 80 DOLLARS. What a garbage console. jesus

  • JibrielEvans Jay Evans (@JibrielEvans) reported

    @RefreshingStars I don’t believe this at all. If just *Better* people handled Son. in the first place, none of this would even be an issue. But something is so intrinsically wrong at Sega. It’s probably why so many of their top tier devs left the company for ones like Nintendo & SE.

  • Flutters225 Hitoya please marry me 🥺 (Farren) (@Flutters225) reported

    HELP THE GAME JUST. LEGITIMATELY GLITCHED I THINK??? LIKE IT CRASHED AND THE SWITCH ASKED IF I WANTED TO SEND AN ERROR REPORT TO NINTENDO

  • XinguIarity 🅂🄰🄺🅄🅁🄰🄽🄴 🐈‍⬛ (@XinguIarity) reported

    @WingVui See I'm not even sure if that's the case because the subscription service itself sucks but other Nintendo games have great/solid online Mario Party Superstars, Mario Kart 8 Deluxe, Splatoon, even ARMS Nintendo Switch Sports too

  • okiedokiefan Alpharads son joe 👑 (@okiedokiefan) reported

    @DustBucketDX @SuperTurtle314 What people don't realize is that means Nintendo will have to recontinue the internet service for a week

  • Bradley48670568 Bradley Drake (@Bradley48670568) reported

    @GrantsOnGames Well it's an Eshop issue. Since the Eshop was connected to my region being the UK, the problem was the game copy from Amazon was from The US instead. So I had to temporarily change my Nintendo account to the US to download it on the Eshop

  • dognut3 Enzo, Shogun of Harlem (@dognut3) reported

    @headasshoncho @BeigeFrequency Nah the real problem is that he's getting the New Nintendo 2DS XL, which is tedious to crack because you have to keep unscrewing and screwing back the the SD Card

  • ace420_ ace☆ (° ∀。) (@ace420_) reported

    @FlowenNknuckles YES FFS @NINTENDO FIX YIUR ****

  • TweetsBySalt Salt (@TweetsBySalt) reported

    Transferring Pokemon from a wifi broken Switch to a new Switch requires a 3rd Switch with someone else’s account. If anyone is curious, it takes roughly 4 1/2 hours to do all that trading. How many Pokemon you ask? ONLY 2 ******* BOXES! **** Nintendo…

  • umjammercammy Cam (Akiba Koubou Mix) (@umjammercammy) reported

    @jycompany_ I think DK94 and the Mario vs. DK games, to Nintendo, would probably be close enough. Could also be stuff like the long-running Ikegami "scandal" (that hadn't ended until relatively recently) or branding issues or something making them avoid DK otherwise tho.

  • compeandp 𝕮𝖔𝖒𝖕𝖊𝖆𝖓 (@compeandp) reported

    Smokin broken windows playing my Nintendo

  • TheRealBrandMcN Plotting Peaceful Solutions (@TheRealBrandMcN) reported

    The only real problem with the @Crunchyroll app on the @NintendoAmerica #Switch is that it doesn’t prevent the screen from dimming when the controller goes to sleep. Which happens every five minutes.

  • meisnewhere Eat (@meisnewhere) reported

    @OatmealDome I think the bigger issue is that this app isn't even available worldwide. For all you guys complain about how bad a solution this is, people in a country without a nintendo region just has nothing at all

  • AgentShifter AgentShifter * | BLM (@AgentShifter) reported

    @W8ingSplatoon3 I didn’t disconnect you did Nintendo

  • Tails_155 Teirusu Reynard - テイルス レイナード 🇺🇲 (@Tails_155) reported

    @knightsoisauce @sableye126 It is only subpar if you consider certain styles of graphics bad. (Keep in mind I have no investment in the series, directly, as I have plenty of issues with Nintendo.)

    @TrevyLimited Also artist *do* hold copyright over their own drawings. Not the characters depicted in them but their individual work. Nintendo is not allowed to take somebody's work without potential copyright issues themselves.
