  • ROBOHIME_ Gav 🏳️‍🌈 (@ROBOHIME_) reported

    I don't even have to pay for a sub service can you imagine not letting people access their game library like this and making them pay for everything in some way again *cough* NINTENDO *caugh* aw man sorry my throats kinda ****** rn ah

  • moonblastx David⁷ 🇵🇹 (@moonblastx) reported

    As it stands, doesn't seem worth it to play online. When will Nintendo learn to have good online service? So much ******* lag #MarioStrikersBattleLeague

  • This_Is_Mike_D ThisIsMikeD 🕹️ Retro Nerd 👻 (@This_Is_Mike_D) reported

    @EndoKonTTV Seems like it's been a problem since it's launch, which should've given them time to figure it out. Microsoft and Nintendo don't seem to have this issue.

  • instinct_stop f3t (@instinct_stop) reported

    I wonder how far Nintendo can get away with selling a broken flawed console? Like how much are gamers willing to put up with before they just quit Nintendo?

  • ManiacLady1 Maniac Origami Queen (@ManiacLady1) reported

    I wonder what Nintendo’s plan with Advance Wars Reboot Camp is. The game was practically ready until they held it back due to the Ukraine issue. Maybe we’ll see a shadow drop on the next direct for the Eshop? Who knows.

  • DatOlToonie DaToonie (@DatOlToonie) reported

    New Strikers is fun, but I need to be allowed to intercept passes more reliably. Going for tackles or using items for counterplay every time just doesn't feel good, bro. (also fix your crusty online Nintendo, no 4v4 has hurt ******** outta this 4 day old game)

  • weirdoofcool Nicholas Martin (@weirdoofcool) reported

    I don’t know if anyone will see this but would it be ok to send a broken 3DS to Nintendo to repair it if it is hacked? Would they look into that deeply and would they wipe it or refuse to give it back to me? I’m just wondering if I could get it fixed.

    @kairyluminess There's good reviews as well, take Nintendo everything or IGN, Easy Allies (which were more critical) or just random youtuber/ Twitter accounts. it's as divided as ever which is normal for Sonic games. Technical issues though is a universal complaint, not 06 but still horrible.

  • MkfShin Shinobi (@MkfShin) reported

    @DoomAssistMe This is all about splatoon being a success in the wii u and they trying to apply the same strategy on other multiplayer games. But unlike splatoon, it's not working in terms of content. As for why, uh, there's a general manager on Nintendo epd and many higher ups on there lol

  • fabi_k_acnh K & Fabi (@fabi_k_acnh) reported

    That's just great. I just updated the Switch and now the console has an error!! WTF??? @NintendoAmerica

  • BradOpinionMan bad opinion man (@BradOpinionMan) reported

    @MonkeyRocket8 @OatmealDome I want to know if that bug fix was procedurally generated or if there's someone at Nintendo whose job it is to keep track of the latest popular Hitler misspellings

  • patricknotirl patrick (@patricknotirl) reported

    nintendo wii broken

  • AndrewC70136680 Andrew Clark (@AndrewC70136680) reported

    @Crimson_Mayhem_ @Crimson_Mayhem_ didn't Nintendo FINALLY remember that this game existed when they added this game on the Switch's online service? what do you mean that the internet ignored it?

  • Ant_onio45 Ant-onio 45 (@Ant_onio45) reported

    Anyone else having this annoying issue on Nintendo Switch where the switch will die from "no battery" even though you have like 20%?

  • Danastiel ⚜️ Dana🕊️ Vtuber/Genshin Artist (@Danastiel) reported

    Nintendo switch got an error and my Shield save file restarted from hours ago?? This is the first time I've encountered this kind of problem ever.....

  • asmi7h Alan Smith Gandara (@asmi7h) reported

    @NintendoAmerica Strikers Club makes no sense at all if you cannot play 4 vs 4 matches with individual systems... And Strikers Club is basically the whole game... Please fix it!

  • TrewDomko Trew Domko (@TrewDomko) reported

    @NSuperGamerGuy got it day 1... has the same problem as every Switch nintendo sport game. no content

  • blackheart3488 Terran Empire PlayStation children of The Sun ps5 (@blackheart3488) reported

    I get it I don't pay $70 for games that's why your games look like they belong in a Playskool playground that shitt look awful just my opinion when when the Nintendo games Amor pilita me the Microsoft games we got a problem

  • TransRatPunk 🏳️‍⚧️ Extra Gay Trans Rat 🏳️‍🌈 (@TransRatPunk) reported

    @RemyRaccoonYT It literally looks like a "Nintendo Hire This Man" tech demo except those usually have less visible technical errors. It also looks like it's gonna take the title of "most empty open world". I kinda wonder if it was even originally a Sonic game in the first place

  • TrewDomko Trew Domko (@TrewDomko) reported

    @NSuperGamerGuy biggest issue with the game is that it's the exact same amount of content as both the Gamecube and Wii games. no Daisy also kind off sucks for me personally. Nintendo seems to be getting in this habit of released their Sports games with barely any content

  • mitchs0renstein muscle man guy dude bro 🇺🇦 (@mitchs0renstein) reported

    @shadowforsmashb i actually like the third parties and some of my most wanteds are non nintendo characters but im pretty sure copyright issues are why we have lacking songs and costumes for some characters

  • Us3ful1di0t Ben (@Us3ful1di0t) reported

    Hey @nerial ! I’ve got a problem with #cardshark on Nintendo Switch. How can I contact you to find a solution ? I think my save is bugged : cutscene just don’t trigger anymore. So sad cause I just LOVE your game :(

  • urgirIadrie adrie (@urgirIadrie) reported

    Nintendo had this to say: "Unfortunately we have discovered that a small number of games contain the wrong version of the disk due to an assembly error. We have decided to recall all copies of the game from UK retailers” they claimed only 2% of the games had translation error

  • DOSSTORM DOS Storm (@DOSSTORM) reported

    @420oneechan Nintendo makes terrible consoles but great games. Its like a restaurant that is in a broken down building and they refuse to fix it, but the food is so good you keep coming back for more.

  • youhavecovid19 Elon Tusk (@youhavecovid19) reported

    @thisisjusttcod @MangaTeGo @Kotaku That I am unable to learn how they do it and and what issues come with it. I can learn what it takes to make them I’m just not willing work for garbage *** greedy companies that care more about harassing women than doing their damn jobs. Bethesda, Ubisoft, Nintendo, and riot to

  • MkfShin Shinobi (@MkfShin) reported

    @BulbaWhat98 @rgnintendo17 @learn2chillax Nintendo owning them or not is irrelevant when they always have been the publisher. And the problems of the game are more than just updates so no, nlg isn't innocent, they also didn't do things well in certain aspects

  • McLort Joshua Frese (@McLort) reported

    @PKSparkxx Consumed lithium ion batteries can expand when consumed. I can’t speak for Nintendo, but that is pretty standard on smart devices, and is a safety feature. Most likely the reason. They only have so many charges and recharges. Good to hear in comments they might fix anyway.

  • kalucas 🏳️‍🌈 Karina🌙 🎀 (@kalucas) reported

    @NintendoAmerica I just updated Switch and now the console has an error!!! Can you help me please??

  • NintendoShame Nintendo Shame (@NintendoShame) reported

    It's been 328 days since the last game was added to the Nintendo Switch Online service

  • LubbaSMG2 Roxie (@LubbaSMG2) reported

    Scheduled this tweet like a week before people started talking about a delay lol I still think it's gonna happen this week tho, I don't see why Nintendo would go through the trouble of delaying dozens of announcements by a week or two
