@NintendoAmerica There are still people playing 3DS. Fix the damn GTS on the 7th generation, or do you need 6 months more to do that? One damn hacker making the whole GTS crash the game and freeze the system is too much? Lack of competence or lack of respect for your community?

@jonny555333 @SophNar0747 My logic is fine since the first run of most consoles end up having major issues leading to an "updated" version, ever since the ps2 which is the last year a bought a console the year of release, every first run since ps3 has had faults (Microsoft and Nintendo included)

@FgcSkips @GooseGusty I never had any issues with my old Nyko but as soon as I could find one I got an official Nintendo adapter.

@ThaShogun12 Old games like the crash trilogy, for example, are kinda trash, so they need to have massive graphical improvements and to be in a value pack in order to sell well. Nintendo isn't over pricing their games, other companies are under pricing theirs.

@AaronFGC Even if it sucks at launch, lets all pretend it’s the greatest game ever made so Nintendo will be incentivized to fix their online ****.

@XboxSoftmodKit The Xbox issue was simply not being named "Playstation" and not be Japanese. Its as simple as that. Sony was surfing its succes with PS1, Nintendo was Nintendo. Microsoft had a bad rep from PC stuff back then... Overall the Xbox is superior to the PS2 in every aspect.

"i should buy a broken computer and fix it" as i look at the broken nintendo DS lites and unopened gunpla kits in my room

@JaySolaris I'm not saying Nintendo could give some guidance, but the main Mario games haven't experienced real development issues in terms of quality since Super Mario Sunshine, so maybe it's time for SEGA to take some notes.

@reuthegamer @DPDgroup_news The problem is Nintendo Store is equally frustrating, they cancelled the order and haven't refunded me the money. They then told me the only way to get the items is to reorder it. What worries me is if this happens with my Metroid Dread special edition!

@TressaAimuuru Nintendo does but also i kinda disagree with ur 1st thing. sure, me and u have no problem waiting longer for a pokemon game if they need that extra time, but some ppl are genuinely impatient. articles are gonna come out saying pokemon is a dead fran if they don't make 1 evy year

@basedpersona4 @DoesPichu @AboutNintendo How is Nintendo enabling them? Also there’s many more reasons, but it’s not hard to look at how toxic the smash community and then see from Nintendo’s perspective why it’s not a good idea to be involved. They support Splatoon so it’s not like they have issues with competitions.

@AidenRS139 I highly doubt Nintendo would go through the trouble of getting another fire emblem character in the same dlc lineup, however I wouldn't be surprised if it ended up being another pokemon...

@Reecee_yt Nintendo hasn't been relevant since their antitrust lawsuit when they couldn't just force software developers to only give them quality work while not working for Sega or Atari and so on.

(@Kinanakinaa) reported
But ofc Nintendo thinks all the only thing that matters is selling games. Uses the same friend system as the 3DS, bland UI and eshop design, no folders or anything to organize your games, didn't even care enough to address the joy cons drifting as an issue.

Let's pretend that Game Boy Online was coming to the Nintendo Online Service. What games do you think it should have or will likely have? #Nintendo #GameBoy

@WiPoppimk4 @NintendoAmerica I prefer Gameplay to Graphics. The issue with the Pokemon games is that their creators are stuck in the 2D era. No voice acting, & mediocre attack animations. No the national dex. Easier games because today kids have a short attention span & will stop playing difficult games

Shovel Knight for Smash! (For Real!) -The End?-
(@SKForSmash) reported
Even if this is "just a prank bro," it's not funny. I get some people have issues with the way For Smash accounts are handled, but this is absolutely too far. I couldn't condone something like this over anything, let alone wanting a character in a ******* nintendo party game.

If people keep playing Smash Wifi, why would Nintendo actually bother to fix it?

@TheNCSmaster Yeah I've never had a problem with the UI itself, it's just lacking personality. THEMES WOULD REALLY FIX THAT NINTENDO Some more social features would be nice as well but I think it's too late for that

@SoonerFanInMO1 cause of the uproar the switch port initially made. everyone was hating on nintendo for making a bad console (when it was clearly not their fault) and the fact that ps4s and ps5s now have a worse issue that actually affects the console is hilarious to me

@AskPlayStation If you really wanna beat nintendo and actually stay at the top of everything and everywhere including asia you should make a ps4's MOBILE device, we know asia doesnt care about consoles anymore, your consoles can sell a lot in the west/america/north america, just fix them

@PolarStar64 @wahwe_2zawe I think Nintendo learned their lesson not to let themselves lag to far behind from the Wii U. That dealt a devestating blow to them. And it would be hard to ignore the message that sends.

@reuthegamer @DPDgroup_news So I've had this exact problem with DPD this week. Turns out they tap the door and hope for the best, give you about half and second and run away. I've never had any issue with RM or DHL posties but DPD literally attempted delivery with my Nintendo UK store and sent it back!

@L33tM3Al0ne @Hoggo_chan @NinEverything Or maybe, just maybe! Those are trivial gamer problems that objectively less important compared to the lives and mental well being of human beings? EA, NaughtyDog, Blizzard/Activision, even Rockstar games are all hurting their employees. But Nintendo bad because of dumb business?
