  • tavotabotato Tavotabotato (@tavotabotato) reported

    @NintendoAmerica @CrashBandicoot Crash 4 is great, I just don't like the lag on the switch

  • JellyJ_yt Jelly J (@JellyJ_yt) reported

    @NintendoAmerica @CrashBandicoot they released 5 games for crash but gave us a dime and string for zelda 35 💀

  • GBA_Productions Gamers Before Adults (@GBA_Productions) reported

    @NintendoAmerica @CrashBandicoot How about crash for Smash?

  • ZAlderian Chris Hansen is Anon Gene's lap dog. (@ZAlderian) reported

    @roguy79 @QSeeker95 @Wario64 I agree with Nintendo online not offering enough. But for a different reason. Mainly... still no voice chat. I'd prefer a standard virtual console over what we have now. Maybe have points you can accrue to use on the shop. Or free games from the store like EVERY OTHER SERVICE.

    @AidenRS139 I ******* hate Nintendo Snes online service

  • Zari_Wari Wari FunniMan (@Zari_Wari) reported

    @NintendoAmerica can you make it forever please, then your garbage service would almost be worth it

  • unfounded_r 🦇🖤𝖚𝖓𝖋𝖔𝖚𝖓𝖉𝖊𝖉🖤🦇 (@unfounded_r) reported

    the game store i visited yesterday had a decent library of Nintendo Power issues for sale, and while I'm not complaining about the prices, I can't justify spending $15 on a 25 y/o book that id ultimately spill coffee on just bc it had a bear and a bird on it. cool to see tho!

  • Toadette_G_Fan Toadette gamer fan (@Toadette_G_Fan) reported

    @NintendoAmerica @CrashBandicoot Crash Bandicoot is a low quality franchise

  • Papa_Jif Papa Jif (@Papa_Jif) reported

    @NintendoAmerica @CrashBandicoot How do you mention crash anniversary before DK and he’s still not in smash?

  • Henry13043664 Henry (ahora haciendo sfm) (@Henry13043664) reported

    @NintendoAmerica @CrashBandicoot No Smash fans this doesn't confirm Crash in smash

  • Maliskool Mal 🔞KUSH🔞 (@Maliskool) reported

    @NintendoAmerica fix your ******* joycons ******* @thetruebowser

  • DeliberateMuse Kai (@DeliberateMuse) reported

    @NintendoAmerica @CrashBandicoot Crash Bandicoot is just bad Sonic.

  • KingJustinThe31 King Justin The 3rd (@KingJustinThe31) reported

    @NintendoAmerica @CrashBandicoot Watch Crash be the last smash dlc fighter now

  • Drifty93091614 Drifty (@Drifty93091614) reported

    @NintendoAmerica Fix the drift issue

  • WSBirodeyourmom ┻━┻︵ \(°□°)/ ︵ ┻━┻ (@WSBirodeyourmom) reported

    @Greninja_Lad @NintendoAmerica Everyone up in here bitching bout drift. 8 joycons my kids use daily and we never have drift. My ps4 pro on the other hand, got shelved after 6 months cuz @Sony refused to fix 4 controllers and the system itself giving me nothing but problems

  • Xdo12 Xdo12 |BLM|Watch Invincible (@Xdo12) reported

    @NintendoAmerica @CrashBandicoot At least 95% of the replies will be about smash and not the bundle or any events that happens in the Crash games

  • D1Not iamnotDREADER1 (@D1Not) reported

    @Patterrz That's a Fallacy of Irrelevant Conclusion right there. Because how DARE they criticise Nintendo and Pokemon's transition to Free-to-Play? You probably sound like the Ubisoft defenders rationalising Assassin's Creed's transition to Live-Service despite the criticism.

  • HeliosXDG Helios #XeroDegrees (@HeliosXDG) reported

    @Yellow_Toad420 @NintendoAmerica @CrashBandicoot True true. Your princess is in another castle was my biggest problem back then.

  • DougWalker76 McMuzity Mania (@DougWalker76) reported

    @NoponDigi Reminder that Nintendo are against developer crunch, which is a much bigger issue than overpriced games or lack of games

  • von_skeltal von_skeltal (@von_skeltal) reported

    @LilyKangaroo like, idk why they don't just dump 50 or so of their classics onto the service and *then* do these obscure showcases, not like it'd cost them a dime. Guess that would make sense, and nintendo does what genesisn't

  • BobbyOnTheCobby Bob On The Cob 🌽 (@BobbyOnTheCobby) reported

    @NintendoAmerica @CrashBandicoot I swear I can't look at the comments of literally any post that has to do with Crash Bandicoot without seeing some dorks shout about Smash. Not saying it can't or won't happen but can you talk about the actual announcement instead of constantly making it about Smash

  • LuckiiTucky Tucky (@LuckiiTucky) reported

    @markl1109 @Halonut24 @NintendoAmerica Do you not see that this is a sign that they're beginning to shut down the service? Companies will slowly remove features until a service is completely gone, same thing happened with the wii

  • dannyphantomdi1 dannyphantomdesireefan (@dannyphantomdi1) reported

    @NintendoAmerica @CrashBandicoot crash sucks and Nintendo should have never allowed any Activision or blizzard games on switch because of how ****** Activision is to all their consumers and employees

  • TheAwesomeGN TheAwesomeGN (@TheAwesomeGN) reported

    @NintendoAmerica @CrashBandicoot I love crash and all but WHY ******** HAVEN'T YOU TALKED ABOUT DONKEY KONG NOT EVEN ONE POST

  • littleguystar little guy* (@littleguystar) reported

    @OnTheDownLoTho Meanwhile please Nintendo fix your servers we used 2 splashdowns and it didn't take the zone wtf how do you expect me to get out of S rank like this

  • NullSpaceGaming NullSpace (@NullSpaceGaming) reported

    @_FalloutZombie_ @Alyc0re Had bad luck with Hori. I’m getting pretty good at replacing the sticks myself though Still, it’d be nice if Nintendo would address the problem. It’s the one reason I didn’t pre order the Zelda joycons.

  • Locke_PSB Bruce-atron (@Locke_PSB) reported

    @SpawnWaveMedia I’m looking at Nintendo Switch Online and thinking about canceling the service.

  • Bigbootymami7 3$ sale (@Bigbootymami7) reported

    I’m so sad the game repair store can’t fix my Nintendo switch 🥺

  • JassSleeper Jass (@JassSleeper) reported

    @KritzsKujo while the console itself has some great exclusives(Super Smash Bros Ultimate, Splatoon 2, Super Mario Odyssey) the Nintendo Online Service is at least for me a bad choice that can avoid potential buyers, also nintendo online services dont have a good record, also-

  • redwidow1358 Red Widow (@redwidow1358) reported

    @JuanGrande386 @vetrix_tron @NintendoAmerica Yeah, nobody gives a **** about these games. That's the problem.
