    @Flavit01 You opened up a rabbit hole here let’s begin.. My big bro put me on regular Nintendo even tho our Atari was broken half the time. Mario bros 1 2 and 3 for the win. We then got a genesis and became sonic freaks until super Mario world came out with the super nes oh man

  • BrokenGamezHDR_ Pro-Gameplay Advocate (@BrokenGamezHDR_) reported

    Nintendo really need to stop playing and add achievements. I dont understand the problem.

  • LinkMountaineer Pat (@LinkMountaineer) reported

    @swshriv @NintendoAmerica Not every course in the base game had 0G either. The other cons I’d call personal issues.

  • WhatsUpAstro_ RAM RANCH COWBOYS REALLY ROCK (@WhatsUpAstro_) reported

    @MEIOUCROW schlatt used to fake his death often and after awhile connor got bored of listening and just starting playing nintendo games loudly on a ****** almost broken gameboy

  • artsyomni Omni Jacala (@artsyomni) reported

    @chekfaster @MatttGFX The issue is that Nintendo doesn't want to actually spend the time and money that would be required to make these tracks look as good as the base game. I just hope that if they're not allocating resources to this, then they're using those resources on something great.

    @CollectNintendo Honestly, I think this is all about Nintendo Switch Online. The big N is trying to beef up that service and make it more attractive. In their last investors meeting they lamented the fact so few people upgraded to the expansion pass for NSO. I bet more DLC comes to the service

  • its_just_Quinnn Quinn Kennedy (@its_just_Quinnn) reported

    Pikmin devs: So there is this little spaceman who crash lands on an alien planet and he needs to fix his ship Nintendo: yeah that sounds good how does he fix it? Pikmin devs: so there are these vegetable people....

    Like yeah you get to play classic games + get all that DLC for only $50 a year but like DLC content behind a subscription service is just so appalling to me lmao, thank goodness Nintendo didn't double down on being Nintendo and make the DLC locked behind the subscription

  • Voxelsaurus_Vex Voxelsaurus Vex (@Voxelsaurus_Vex) reported

    @JonDoyleDesign Will always be someone modding/archiving it. I can still get Four Swords Anniversary online as a CIA file on my 3DS ehen Nintendo fails to deliver. I'd take digital Distribution over online only anyday. One we can fix lol

  • AStartShow Son of a Glitch (@AStartShow) reported

    @MrGuyTweets Lol at thinking Nintendo update their games enough for it to be a problem 😜

  • JonJTorres2000 JonJT (@JonJTorres2000) reported

    @JDIronBeard That depends! Do you think Nintendo is willing to add more to the service if they aren't going to drop the price?

  • starshas_gem 💜🧡 PL:A spoilers | Phoebe | Tiggyloo 🧡💜 (@starshas_gem) reported

    instead of complaining about art styles maybe try complaining about the actual big problems of nintendo.

  • ChillyDawg423 Chaz (@ChillyDawg423) reported

    @XcloudTimdog Xbox is consistently held to a higher standard by game journalists because, unlike Sony and Nintendo, they weren’t able to cultivate relationships and goodwill last gen. Sony/Nintendo issues are downplayed, Xbox is overplayed

  • patricknotirl patrick (@patricknotirl) reported

    nintendo wii broken

  • komakugagaming rx komakuga ❀ (@komakugagaming) reported

    @WFromelt @NintendoAmerica No it is QUITE LITERALLY the bare minimum and it doesn’t deserve to be paid MONTHLY I don’t think you understand , if the matchmaking was so hard to make they could just make you pay a fee and that’s it. But they’re forcing you to pay money for a service that doesn’t exist

  • XinguIarity 🅂🄰🄺🅄🅁🄰🄽🄴 🐈‍⬛ (@XinguIarity) reported

    If anything I'd argue some of their business practices in the past have been worse compared to how it is now These history revisionists are part of the problem of folks not being able to criticize Nintendo /properly/ imo

  • newstarcadefan newstarcadefan🇺🇦 he/him/his (@newstarcadefan) reported

    @jasminedbs actually waiting until the next month might be helpful. Unless you have the Nintendo Switch Online Plus service, it's very much free.

  • Keiri_C Keiri ✨EN/JP Vtuber✨新人Vtuber (@Keiri_C) reported

    seems like its an issue on Nintendo server games? I also tried using mobile but its the same. iPhone doesnt let you change the NAT type.

  • BabyBoiLogey aGuyThatLovesPooping (@BabyBoiLogey) reported

    Remember when Nintendo's hardware was of high quality and didn't constantly have issues?

  • DepizzoDominic RiB | Big Jars (@DepizzoDominic) reported

    Oh yeah, I will also say the the textures on the new courses are a little weird. Not that they’re bad necessary, it’s just not the same style as the base MK8D courses. Hopefully Nintendo will fix it in the future, but I hardly notice it when I’m racing

  • Keiri_C Keiri ✨EN/JP Vtuber✨新人Vtuber (@Keiri_C) reported

    Having an issue with NAT Type on my Nintendo Switch. Already configured static IP, forwarding protocols etc.. still in D. Does anyone have the same issue?

  • 000Arcadius000 Arcadius (@000Arcadius000) reported

    @isaacbeeby8 @salvador_flores @IGN Too bad for them, most players dont have a current gen console. To make games exclusively for the small amount who do is stupid. Besides any game on Playstation and Nintendo alone will never live up to its full potential so I dont get why its suddenly a problem now.

  • SliterKitsune Sliter🦑 (@SliterKitsune) reported

    @kart_tour @Nintendo I think Mii got tired for having too much trouble to park so they gave up

  • WieseAufmWald WieseAufmWald (@WieseAufmWald) reported

    @JETTAEXECLINE TPC is the publisher for the games, and while GF is part of TPC's board of directors, so is Nintendo, Creatures Inc. and TPC's own higher ups. GF is part of the problem, but not the cause of it. If TPC wants a game every 3 years, they get a game every 3 years

  • Arrow_Sucks Arrow (@Arrow_Sucks) reported

    @megumiislvr "The grass doesnt have any textures" DONT CARE You arent gonna notice it while youre racing unless youre actively seeking it out. Nintendo fans search for problems where there isnt one.

  • komakugagaming rx komakuga ❀ (@komakugagaming) reported

    @Scorch_Torchic @NintendoAmerica Don’t you think paying for a service monthly should already account for free updates in those services you are paying for , specially when those services virtually cost 0 dollars to maintain for the business in question

  • MitchTwitrKD MKiAM - Mitch (@MitchTwitrKD) reported

    @WaffulSyrup @NintendoAmerica Yes, I'd like a bug fix plus some obligatory character buffs and nerfs k thx love ya

  • komakugagaming rx komakuga ❀ (@komakugagaming) reported

    @_Vixoz_ @Scorch_Torchic @NintendoAmerica they havent raised the price they've only locked Nintendo64 virtual console in an even more expensive service
