    @ThunderGod503 i haven't played console besides Nintendo consoles in years lol but i'm still on the fence about this one. i love the WW2 based CoD titles but having played the beta idk how i feel about it yet so imma watch more gameplay and wait till they hammer out the initial bugs and issues

  • 50Bread bleach is cool (@50Bread) reported

    @goldsonikku Yeah money is and always will be the problem with Nintendo

  • ChrisSy99456031 ChrisSykes (@ChrisSy99456031) reported

    @SpawnWaveMedia @RGT_85 Imagine nintendo puting same amount of effort for legal action to Nintendo Online service....

  • JaredWa60627347 Jared Watson (@JaredWa60627347) reported

    @ExpandDong15 Nintendo abandons games that are prime live service material all the time, yet update a game they delisted months ago.

  • DistortionGuy Distortion Guy (@DistortionGuy) reported

    @MarcoCocomello @Pokemon @NintendoAmerica Until they fix the issue, your best bet is getting an apple id for an area where it’s available

  • DrawnBorn DrawnBorn(Jp) | #SaveLBP (@DrawnBorn) reported

    @MaibergerAustin What I have a problem with is the Companies' lack of consistency. Constantly treating their customers like mindless consumers while companies like Nintendo have all of the money in the world and don't know what to do with it,having the "Release First,Fix/Release Later" Strategy.

  • eugemeca Enio MeCa❄⚙ (@eugemeca) reported

    @D1V1D3DxFLASH1 @NintendoAmerica That's the problem. They know people will buy it whether they add extra content or not. So dont expect megas ir platinum content

  • DanteDoomer SL (formerly doomermaster) (@DanteDoomer) reported

    @MilesFox10 @blminspace I only seen this glitch occur on Nintendo's Online Service for N64, yet nobody has recorded it happening on real hardware

  • sprunkzy Sprunkzy ✝ Time to Repent ✝ (@sprunkzy) reported

    @edmundmcmillen hey are you aware if other people are having problems buying Repentance on Switch through the Nintendo website? Cuz at least it's happening to me

  • lynxuneblue Lynxune (@lynxuneblue) reported

    @NellyHartnell @KingGeoshi64 most of the games that have diverse Toad designs were developed by different art studios than the ones at nintendo house while nintendo nowadays pays more attention to who designs the mario characters, they most likely don't want to have art/OC licensing issues down the road

  • mochis_island_ Mochi 💫 | princess aka petal ✨ (@mochis_island_) reported

    @Nintendo please fix the online functions, my friends & i want to meet at our islands but cant bc our contest say that they cant connect to other consoles 😫

  • magicalmagii Magi ✫*゚ (@magicalmagii) reported

    I feel so bad for lani because she was probably excited. I also wonder if she talked to beeduo about this… it seems like the kinda thing they’d be able to warn her against, especially the legal issues with nintendo. And especially given how ranboo seems to feel about youtooz now

  • lottafandoms 🎄kawaii4eva/Open Commissions❄ (@lottafandoms) reported

    @lyracole just searching google, i don't see anyone. but tried searching here, and found only a few facing the same problem we are. ngl, wish it was even more so nintendo would do something

  • studingo Studingo (@studingo) reported

    @BargainBGaming @RectWizard This even happens with their rereleased games. Super mario 3d world had input lag on switch. I sold it cause it was so hard to play. Nintendo is a horribly greedy company. Sadly they have a few games that i love to play with my kid.

  • JeffreyFX0 JeffreyFX (@JeffreyFX0) reported

    @feliquisds I know the Nintendo Switch version has a similar glitch

  • Krazzberries Damaged 🌟 Princess 🌟 555 🌟 (@Krazzberries) reported

    @hildagoneriI reminds me of when i bought monster hunter stories 2 digitally and it would just crash my switch thanks nintendo

  • 99nightts besbie 💕 (@99nightts) reported

    IT TUENED ON WBY IS RHAT A COMMON PROBME THAT THERES AN OFFIGUIDE ON NINTENDO HOW TO FIX IT KABAVSKSVS

  • ciscomakesstuff cameron? (@ciscomakesstuff) reported

    @fluffysmolcloud Say what you will about Nintendo’s not-very-good online service but as far as VC/messaging I think they figured people would use Discord or something instead, this kinda confirms it. Same with Netflix, etc; most people have other ways to access it so to me it’s not a dealbreaker.

  • ZanManga Zan (@ZanManga) reported

    @Nintendo please fix the bugs with the new animal crossing 2.0 update there are bugs that don't let you do the harvs island content and and some items aren't attainable when they are in other peoples copies.

  • RuinedHaikyo ℝ𝕦𝕚𝕟𝕖𝕕   (@RuinedHaikyo) reported

    @TawnaAmour @AsoGirl29 Exactly, I know for a fact if Nintendo did something terrible the people who **** on Crash fans would still like Nintendo games lol

  • magicalmagii Magi ✫*゚ (@magicalmagii) reported

    Note this isn’t me being critical in the slightest, I’m just kinda wondering if they knew or if they didn’t realize it’d be an issue. Especially because I’m 90% nintendo has been claiming a lot of content by ccs for copyright infringement.

  • sqwggy ✦ SQ ✦ 🌷 (@sqwggy) reported

    me and the nintendo customer service rep talking about tom nook like he’s real living and breathing ksjsk

  • Reagandow Reagan Dow (@Reagandow) reported

    @madlittlepixel Isn’t that swell of Nintendo. Now maybe they can fix their overpriced garbage on their Online system. Just MAYBE they will allow us to map buttons on the NUMEROUS Sega controllers and N64 as well. Stop forcing people to buy your overpriced stuff that they can’t even stock!

  • pearblossoms_ chloe 🍐🌼 (@pearblossoms_) reported

    @stevieshorizon he could simply be hiding!! but hopefully if it IS a bug they fix it soon!! it could be worth seeking support from nintendo

  • TheTrueOddball Oddball (@TheTrueOddball) reported

    @dumbdragon5 @theEkrcoaster ...what is this comparison? Nintendo owns the Mario IP lmfao It doesn't matter whether you wanted to make it, you physically couldn't without legal issues lol

    @HighwaySqueak @NintendoUK Everything works fine for me. If youre really having issues, contact Nintendo support and report this issue directly to them.

  • DanteDoomer SL (formerly doomermaster) (@DanteDoomer) reported

    @MilesFox10 @blminspace So why did they even record it on Switch's N64 Emulator? I don't understand why nobody posted clips of this collision glitch happening on the real N64, or maybe they were there but taken down because of Nintendo's DMCA crap.

    ****! I accidentally broken my nintendo switch,
