  • DastardlyMayo ♠️ Zach Russell ♠️ (@DastardlyMayo) reported

    @SteveMBowling I was in the middle of doing some studying today at school and randomly thought of how there hasn't been a Direct since June and was like "This must be a sign... Let me check YouTube real quick!" Aaaaand I was disappointed. Come on Nintendo, we need our fix!

  • SwitchEveryword The name of the next nintendo console is... (@SwitchEveryword) reported

    Nintendo broken-fortuned

  • WisconsinDummy Brett (@WisconsinDummy) reported

    @TheNCSmaster Nintendo fans simultaneously excuse Nintendo for doing generally awful ****, then get pissed off at Nintendo for the stupidest ****. Imagine if people put in the same energy they used to pointlessly **** on Byleth into actual issues.

  • Mambatabac Andy O'Flaherty (@Mambatabac) reported

    @belmont1792 @dark1x Even games that were PAL optimised were still often "letterboxed". They tended to only really fix the speed. Tbh Nintendo systems were pretty much awful for PAL optimisation until the Gamecube...

  • SweatyOoo OooSweaty (@SweatyOoo) reported

    @Super_Ranger8 @phirsts we already got Nintendo lag we don't need Roblox lag

  • Kujochu Kujoe mama (@Kujochu) reported

    My point is, Nintendo needs to make things fun again. Even the Wii U had software to **** around with. Although it didn't sell well, it makes sense why it didn't sell well. But it felt alive and was fun to use (in my opinion.) At least fix the eshop on switch bro. 5/5

  • Eleven06 Black Lives Matter (@Eleven06) reported

    WWE must be in financial trouble, they sold the NXT brand to Nintendo. Splatoon crossover and DLC incoming.

  • Stardusky3 Stardusky (@Stardusky3) reported

    @AboutNintendo Yes I agree every consoles has issues, but at least the other companies fix their issues, Nintendo by far is the worst, they have more issues than any other companies and dumb issues that could be easily fix at that...thus they deserve more criticism than the other two.

  • S_Tier_Scrub Lite (@S_Tier_Scrub) reported

    @Necksplitter People say **** like this "Waaah Steam bad" like ok. Go cut a deal with Epic then. Release it on Nintendo or any other platform. Like they're like 10 other places where these "problems" don't exist but they just *****.

  • Alex42004888 Dognote (@Alex42004888) reported

    @Brolylegs 100% yes That glitch feast of a game wouldn't have as much stuff to work with as it does since Nintendo just wants cash from everyone not just competitive players

  • ItsSups ItsSups (@ItsSups) reported

    @NintendoAmerica I swear to god if the final smash DLC character isn't Crash, Spyro or Waluigi I'm literally gonna strangle someone #SmashBrosUltimate

  • AboutNintendo NFCAN (@AboutNintendo) reported

    @Stardusky3 The stock will be back in this week but it will still be scalped. That's not a problem fix. And Nintendo does fix some of their problems you just don't want to acknowledge that.

  • FrustratedGamin Frustrated gamer '21 (@FrustratedGamin) reported

    So I'm playing Twilight Princess HD and I found either a glitch or something Nintendo intended. In the Blizzeta fight if you lay a bomb while fighting her second form it somehow slows her down and you can take her out before she can recover her armor. Pretty cool even if it might

  • Diamante_Loco Diamanté Loco (@Diamante_Loco) reported

    @RealJezebelley If you want a TON of retro game mags, hit up @Retromags They are doing the work! To avoid copyright issues nothing newer than 10 years ago is posted (which means next December all of Nintendo Power is fair game!)

  • CANADlANPSYCHO jas magnotta ❦ (@CANADlANPSYCHO) reported

    Nintendo do you like giving children anger issues?

  • RiodileRambles Riodile (Blue gamer birb) | #RENGaming (@RiodileRambles) reported

    @GlassesGator 1) The DLC hasn't been interesting so far (except Joker and Pyra/Mythra for me) 2) There was that issue between Nintendo and Melee community, right? 3) I lost my cartridge and just don't feel like buying it again, 4) I don't have much faith for the next DLC character.

  • Locke_PSB Bruce-atron (@Locke_PSB) reported

    Hey @NintendoAmerica I let my NSO subscription run out. I will give you my money when you fix the eshop. Thanks me.

    @PokemonUnite Bug occurs when I try to login my Nintendo account using Google, please fix!

  • BuzzBeGaming Galen L. Scott, Jr. (@BuzzBeGaming) reported

    How odd is it that my #Nintendo password works fine for the Nintendo Store, but not when I try to login to anything else? Want to spend money, password accepted Want to transfer account info, email &/or password is incorrect Same with Nintendo support seems their link is broke

  • Stardusky3 Stardusky (@Stardusky3) reported

    @AboutNintendo I don't see any issues on people being critical on a brand as long as they're speaking the truth, Nintendo has many issues to be made fun of...thats just the truth it has nothing to do with "Sad Console wars"

  • DKPARODOX64 DemonAngel Gamer (@DKPARODOX64) reported

    @NintendoAmerica Ever since it's update came out I only can be online for like 10 to 15 minutes and then my Nintendo will automatically disconnect from the Wi-Fi when I have it on I auto connect so can somebody help me with that.

    @thatskygame When will you fix the bug on Nintendo?

  • Ryan_Burtson RyanIsMostDope (@Ryan_Burtson) reported

    @Thehunte12 @NintendoAmerica Hey let me fix them for you.

  • HD_Gamer_84 HD_Gamer_84 (@HD_Gamer_84) reported

    @SpreadEmPunk @avoblackfyre @ShawnLayden with Sony or Nintendo with the standard business model, at least not since the X360 They simply aren’t selling enough games or enough boxes. The change in focus to a subscription service makes perfect sense & is in line with the rest of their business with Windows etc 2)

  • jeffmcnamee Jeff McNamee (@jeffmcnamee) reported

    @timeshade @BasedCorp @SeanTrende That might have been an issue absent a pandemic. I remember serious shortages of the Nintendo Wii Fit in 2008.

  • Stardusky3 Stardusky (@Stardusky3) reported

    @AboutNintendo As a said the other companies fix things, Nintendo does not, ps5/Seriesx back in stock at stores this week, problem fixed, why Nintendo can't fix their problems for fans?

  • PabloSSB_ P/\BLO (@PabloSSB_) reported

    @Yoomoo_19 I would if I signed up for Nintendo's ****** Online service. But even that's not worth doing.

  • Fearsome_Fire Fearsome Fire (@Fearsome_Fire) reported

    reuploaded it to shorten it and fix hashtags. also nobody that follows me or is in the nintendo community really cares but i know @SimpleFlips plays csgo so i think it would be cool if he sees this lol
