  @FortniteStatus @FortniteStatus what happened recently with the game? Everything is a bug: planes, epic missions with missing objects causing the problem to finish them, white screen glitch issue on Nintendo Switch. The game should change the name in BugNite 😳😳😳😳😳😳

  @RebelCari @PlayTorchlight We have to wait for Nintendo to certify the fix and then we can push it out.

  @pets0und @Thunderblunder7 No dumbass they're emulating a Nintendo brand game and making money out of it, that's the problem. Don't even bother on changing the game's name either like Project M did.

  @NintendoAmerica I keep getting a white screen when I’m playing games on the Nintendo Switch. Is there a fix for this issue? Or does it need some repair? #IsItDead?

  @JakeCook345 @NintendoCanada @MyNintendoNews Yes the Japanese audience did want Dragon Quest in Smash forever. My point is, Ultimate has majorly been about fan service, and it’s disappointing that they couldn’t have AT LEAST made Geno a deluxe Mii after they made a whole deal about introducing them

  @TheMaractusMan @NintendoAmerica If this is one of the worst things things you ever seen then thats a problem. I dont think that the internet is for you

  @JanieCo75734330 @EmperorLemon It's also doubly pathetic when these people say "WHY ARE YOU SUPPORTING NINTENDO WHEN THEY DO THIS ADMITTEDLY SHITTY BUT ULTIMATELY NON-FATAL THING" While they, buy Assassin's Creed Valhalla and Cyberpunk and the next gambling-mechanic laden 'live service'

  @Raikouija Mixed feelings on this. Nintendo VR device would be a complete walled garden. At least Facebook/Oculus headsets work with SteamVR. Nintendo also tends to make their devices cheaper than anyone else, but the problem with that in VR is cheap device = physically sick.

  @MyrddinLeFay @Nekomimi_Chaan 3. Based on tester feedback and bug reports, issues are resolved and a new build is created. 4. Steps 1 to 3 are repeated until all "must fix" issues and certification blockers are dealt with. 5. The game is submitted to Nintendo, Microsoft, Sony, etc. for certification. 2/4

  @walkerlloyd75 @IGN You say you don't like things that are service based... So you don't like xbox, playstation, steam, epic games, blizzard, nintendo, or any other thing that provides gaming services If you say they are not services you have accepted their Terms of SERVICE.

  @NintendoAmerica @AmongUsGame @NintendoSwitch Just so y’all know there’s a glitch in the Switch version that lets you play on the Airship map early.

  @Grummz Nintendo found tons of issues doing our review for Switch that never popped up in our testing and for xbox cert they wouldnt let us pass without 1000 gamerscore. How did C77 get past with game breaking crashes?

  @1joharrington @NintendoUK The company that has the rights to Top Gear, Piko Interactive, has added some games to the service recently, so it's very possible to see it sooner than later, maybe all 3 games!

  @TricksterInari Nintendo's statement about the incident was great! They apologized to the loyal users of the app and went on to say that the 3DS has Parent Controls for a reason and if had they been used the problem wouldn't have occurred.

  @RaymanForSmash Yes rayman from Ubisoft the company which has a extremely solid relationship with Nintendo? Jee I wonder why he could happen with crash?

  @CockNBall7 @ProudPopplio @NintendoAmerica But they don't come out on every console after, that's exactly the issue. Also I'm pretty sure 20 years is still more recent than 40.

  @DJRummel @JanieCo75734330 @EmperorLemon And that’s exactly my issue with this. You aren’t informed on this and are still spreading misinformation about it. The only thing Nintendo is legally in the right about is the ability to shut down streams of their game, and that isn’t what they did.

  @NintendoAmerica @Pokemon @playpokemon I never got a code for Zarude but I’m subscribed for newsletters in the emails? What’s the issue?

  Lunar Archivist (@LunarArchivist) reported 52 minutes ago

  @MyrddinLeFay @Nekomimi_Chaan 6. The highly experienced in-house testers at Nintendo, Microsoft, Sony, etc. go through the game themselves. 7. The in-house testers submit their results to Nintendo, Microsoft, Sony, etc. If they find certification blockers/critical issues, the game fails certification. 3/4

  @mugmannn I agree, the problem is the people making those arguments now are chiefly Nintendo themselves, for better or worse

  @Monarch60962114 @ShadowRockX It's only an issue that shows up on emulators and the Nintendo DS so it is rare to witness, and they DID fixed that for the Virtual Console version, also patches made for this game (look them up) fixed this issue along with many BN4 blunders.

  @LB3PTMAN @BenSchlessman @jasonschreier Sony and Nintendo games don't crash. Polished games don't crash. Crashing in unacceptable.
