  • Mat7sept Linkieu (@Mat7sept) reported

    05/06/2022 and there are always players on the Wii U's Nintendo Network. With a free online service and no 20€ 🙃

  • Peaceful_Hermit Gi ♣🌸 (@Peaceful_Hermit) reported

    @cash4kromer @sailorsarkan202 @SquidDude8 Lazy? More like they're late to the industry. The most popular games nowadays are all live service games where content is drip fed over time. Look outside the Nintendo bubble.

  • GalaxyCatcus JeliumXactus (@GalaxyCatcus) reported

    @KrangKotobuki Another Nintendo game with the "fix it later" ideology? Say it ain't so

  • MKHD1004 . (@MKHD1004) reported

    @onnanoko_amai @DyingLightGame Bro the game even runs on the ******* Nintendo Switch so your PC is the problem and not the game

  • evilhospital blair 🧟 (@evilhospital) reported

    @Bull_Spear i actually have like 5 or 6 nintendo power game informer and psm issues but they’re on my other shelf i like to cut advertisements out of them

  • StarVeemo AgentVeemo - REAL OMORI HOURS (@StarVeemo) reported

    @yumeparadox The game itself is buggy, like really buggy, and some patches won't fix that. The graphics are only the way they are because originally it used special Nintendo tech to look as beautiful as it did. Overall it's just a technical mess of a game, doesn't do Colors justice

  • d21lewis Tim Lewis (@d21lewis) reported

    @Durrtydoesit What was the 3DS? And isn't the Switch also the successor to that? The biggest issue is that Nintendo systems typically get 5 years (give or take) while Xbox and Playstation get about 7 years before a successor Power doesn't definite generations, tho. Never did.

    @ThirstyRaccoon @Romudeth Nahh, the best deal is getting the most value for your money...A.K.A gamepass. Sony's equivalent service is a joke forcing its players to fork over $70 a game to play first party games on release and Nintendo holds its games back with outdated hardware.

    My first game I ever got for my Nintendo DS, which was gift from my late grandma, was the original tinker bell game, the corner is broken and it only works on my old pink da instead of my newer 3Ds. It’s in storage somewhere but I want it back…

  • IsGirl2015 Callie🌸 (@IsGirl2015) reported

    @CommutationC @Ryandude5678 @NintendoAmerica The only problem with splat 2 is hero mode, I love DJ octavio but I don't want the others disappointed if hes the final boss again

  • patricknotirl patrick (@patricknotirl) reported

    nintendo wii broken

  • RaiSumi18 Rai (@RaiSumi18) reported

    @MessyRPG @DESTRO_GAMER @ManiacXVII That’s the problem the game engine wasn’t meant for Wii U and they had to scramble to make a new build. Because sega had a deal with Nintendo at the time.

  • OnSchitts SchittsOnChest (@OnSchitts) reported

    @SCOOPETX This is the long term goal for Gamepass, to become completely cloud and sell the service like Netflix. You won’t even need to own an Xbox next gen. But it’s a work in progress. Revenue for Xbox is low compared to Nintendo and PlayStation. This was to counter and help pay off the

    @faulkie87 @RedEyedDragoon_ If Sony has a big publisher deal in Japan it will be up to Ministry of Finance to investigate or review. But since Nintendo has 95% of the market it would not be a problem for Sony to make it go through even if Bungie is now locked at FTC for investigation.

  • CarrotOfWisdom CarrotOfWisdom (@CarrotOfWisdom) reported

    Please @ArcSystemWorksU FIX YOUR GAME. Really tired of Kara FD being a thing and buffer system being terrible. While also not giving any patches, not even bug fixes. Stop trying to compete with Nintendo on how bad you are with your customers.

  • cash4kromer Js (@cash4kromer) reported

    @Peaceful_Hermit Live service games don't usually have a single player/story mode, and if they do online is the main focus. Apex, Valorant, Fortnite, Warzone, GTA, Leauge, FF XIV, etc. The problem is Nintendo keeps doing this with single player games. Nobody is buying animal crossing for online.

  • real_Amilix Amilix (@real_Amilix) reported

    @MarioAndRosie77 Nintendo knowing how to properly do live service for their main console games? If only it were possible 😔

  • ScallanKevin Kevin Scallan (@ScallanKevin) reported

    @VeryHelpers My issues was resolved by Nintendo in the end

  • Pokeguy4 Pokeguy4 | CEO of crashes | Best variant of me (@Pokeguy4) reported

    @Akfamilyhome I don't see the problem. jump man and god slayer are clearly the only characters nintendo needs

    Heck the fact it's clear it's going to be another ******* Nintendo Live Service game as well.

  • FutureDrSmith1 Dwayne Smith (@FutureDrSmith1) reported

    Bought an Animal Crossing Nintendo Switch and it wobbles when I put it into the stand thingy. I feel like it should be more secure than that. Anyone else have this issue or just me?

  • GAMER1984dude Jeremy (Be Kind and Rewind) (@GAMER1984dude) reported

    @Durrtydoesit @e2m5dotbsp Ps5 best games are Returnal (Sucks) Ratchet and Clank( (please) (spider-man DLC $50 game ) and what else multi platforms games? devs dont even have Kits still give the PS5 another year hasnt even broken any grown 17 million in 2 years is nothing to gloat nintendo 104 in 5 years.

  • NeverGlade_ZA Gareth R (@NeverGlade_ZA) reported

    @HellaTamaryn My Nintendo Switch. No power? No problem, I'll just game it out for a couple of hours.

  • _StarrySydney ★Sydney★ (@_StarrySydney) reported

    @wammytwt Nintendo can fix them for free

  • BlueRage0 Blue Rage0 (@BlueRage0) reported

    @NintendoAmerica I hope that y'all are having a nice day. I'm having a slight issue, with your new icon system to a certain degree and I'm wondering if the air is on my end or something that is just not complete? I attempted to purchase one of the backgrounds I don't see it?

  • BoshisHipShades Boshi’s Hip Shades (@BoshisHipShades) reported

    @mcswitchlite @The__Goomba Not brilliantly. I love Nintendo and my Switch but even at launch it was underpowered and had awful frame rate issues in BOTW (i.e. Lost Woods). I don’t even care about frame rate issues most of the time and it bothered me a ton because it was so egregious.
