    @VideoGamerJoup9 @BmtDyl Yeah, hopefully this puts more pressure on nintendo to create better hardware since they are lagging so far behind the competition that the "it's a portable console" excuse doesn't really apply anymore

  • Tinkuwu

    @SRGIProductions @thicc_stick_boi Just emulate the Nintendo games. Who cares about a company's money? In the words of Gabe Newell: "Piracy is a service issue, not a price issue" This is good for competition, which means if Nintendo sees a drop in sales, they'll immediately retaliate. Hopefully competitively.

    I think Woah Crash went missing! I last saw them at Super Nintendo Land 10 day(s) ago!

    @NintendoAmerica did you fix the drift yet?

  • Azure_Starss
    Lapis (@Azure_Starss) reported

    @NintendoAmerica I’ve been stressing about this release because of all the scalpers buying both the Joycons and Loftwing amiibo. Yet again, the scalpers overtake the average consumer. How can we fix this??

  • BriceNicholXIII
    NakoTheDrakon (@BriceNicholXIII) reported

    @lucidwhitey Yeah but Microsoft is already working on most of its problems at least... not that I ain't critical of some of their practices I'm just saying at least theyre TRYING -_- Nintendo doesn't even have to ****** try thanks to their bootlicky fanbase

  • LoruleLegend
    Tony (@LoruleLegend) reported

    @davidlasby Ah I see you missed this. Yes, Nintendo said a large portion of the Amiibo orders have been delayed due to a 'shipping issue'.

  • EmperorCokeLord
    Emperor Coke Lord (@EmperorCokeLord) reported

    @ThaimbomB @NintendoAmerica Still ain't gonna fix the drift. Nintendo do be like that

  • WarpedGamer23
    The MAVERICK (@WarpedGamer23) reported

    @NintendoAmerica Reduce the price, restock the amiibo, fix your joy-con problem, then I'll consider buying.

  • tcinternets
    Timmy Boy (@tcinternets) reported

    Seeing reports that @NintendoAmerica confirmed there was a shipping issue, the majority of the amiibos won't arrive until August.

  • Vinimon1999
    XXX & Vinicius (99% retweets) (@Vinimon1999) reported

    @Zari_Wari And it's not like Nintendo's ENTIRE catalog could be re-released even if they tried (becasue of copyright issues), so, 99% of the time, it's emulation or nothing.

  • RadioKid_7
    RadioKid (@RadioKid_7) reported

    @IGNWorseThan I don't think anyone reasonable thinks it'll actually kill the switch or even do much damage to it But I think most of us are hoping it will sell well enough to get Nintendo to fix a lot of the glaring issues with the switch

  • King_Flowers_

    @NintendoAmerica Please do something about the horrible scalping problems surrounding your products please.

    @TecFuzz i love nintendo and id hate to see them fail but it seems like they’re getting cocky and ignoring blatant problems with their console and being generally ******,i hate to say it but it seems like the only times nintendo has to care about what their fans want is when they struggle

  • Darnell57999944
    Darnell Green (@Darnell57999944) reported

    @AidenRS139 Lol PS5 is the fastest selling console in history and Nintendo hit several “most profitable years” through their retarded release strategies. Scalping benefits companies and they know their consumers are too devoted to care. You are the problem.

  • bubblewhip
    Yin (@bubblewhip) reported

    @TheMogMiner @Lynntendo64 Nintendo in that era came from a very specific context post the 2600 crash, where it's corporate mandate was to ensure that reentry into the industry prevented the same instance, and had a monopolistic control of the industry to impose those standards.

    @__giratina @NintendoAmerica And it’s gonna give the same drift problems anyway

    @kingboozx3 @NintendoAmerica dude you’re gonna get in more trouble if you won’t confess the website.

    @Themyster1ous01 @theduraludon @keithjohnstack True true and true, but lets also not forget that nintendo puts out great games when they actually try The problem is when they dont try they make tons of cash anyways

  • TheOsseophile
    The Osseophile || COMMISSIONS OPEN || (@TheOsseophile) reported

    @EWeb54 Agreed. Camera/controls were the only real issue, and now Nintendo has fixed those for the remaster. I have no good reason not to buy the game. I'll do so at the earliest convenience.

  • garak112
    tom garrett (@garak112) reported

    @Gavintendo @BarBigShoulders @NintendoUK Their ‘customer service’ has been rude every time I’ve tried to contact them. Getting rude DMs from them today was the last straw. It’s certainly not the best way for their company to deal with issues.

    @Zants Nintendo, fix your controllers, lmao

  • RobWestTV
    Rob West (@RobWestTV) reported

    I can ***** about the stores all I want but the core issue here is Nintendo gating features behind an already marked up ($25) figure which I swear to Christ they underproduce on purpose. EA wishes it came up with business practices this scummy.

  • TommyMacklin1
    Tommy Macklin (@TommyMacklin1) reported

    @BoundaryBreak It is smart. Nintendo’s biggest problem is that their own first party games are struggling on their current hardware. That’s what makes people justified in being disappointed that there is not a more powerful option available. That said, I do see it happening in the future.

    @FoxinAround @mrpyo1 I have no problem if you actually provided something valid. But u haven't and acted like it was a "fact". I think you're not getting the point of what pushing the industry forward means if you think Valve copying Nintendo isn't a sign of Nintendo pushing things forward.

    Honestly Nintendo just pisses me off these days, they know about the drift OBVIOUSLY but they literally just ignore it and refuse to solve the problem while releasing **** like the OLED Cus they know ppl will still buy it

    @doamd83 @MldGhost If I got a mind of a child then Nintendo nostalgia is not working on me like it does on your simple mind. If you believe the swicth oled is a great deal and sony charging 10 dollars on director's cut for the ps5. Then guess what you are a blind fanboys and a dumb child. Lol

    @bloob3rry_ Ye. That's a pretty Nintendo Thing to do. I really hope they don't do it with other Games. And I realise that I AM Part of the Problem

  • Kastro44_
    Comrade Magikarp (@Kastro44_) reported

    @NotPotBol Won't judge you my friend, I got mine for Mario Kart 8 and Animal Crossing, and now it doesn't even turn on. I think it's some battery issue. It's still on warranty, so I'll try to send it to Nintendo and check how does the customer service work, I've heard it's acceptable
