@capital_frozen @special_cheeese Would be an insane purchase. I always thought fb should acquire more gaming companies. Secure exclusives But Nintendo I can not see them ever agreeing to be bought out. That's not in Nintendos nature (also anti trust issue) Fb should look into newer upcoming vr developers

@ejp_raij1n pre mid-2010s nintendo used to be really strict with how much abuse their stuff could take before not working, i once saw a video of a gamecube get hit with a sledgehammer like it was a golf ball and still turn on

iu hope that the mario kart dlc highlights my recent issue with nintendo i hope it shows people what i mean they havebeen so ******* lazy in the switch era that they release new content for an 8 year old game only for it to be outshined by the old stuff

@yugiohtas @CurtisBonds If he was tweeting hateful things toward Nintendo znd the devs, calling them lazy, etc., then I'd have an issue with anything he was saying. He's just finding ways to express why he's upset. I genuinely don't see what there is to be so bothered about here.

@BrokenGamezHDR_ Just bought a switch OLED and I love it but yeah they need to add alot of things. Nintendo's issue is they sell well so don't listen to what people want. They need to accommodate every base, not just kids. MHR is fantastic, wish I had better online to play with people.. Codes uhg

@PlayStation my ps broke like 6 months ago and wasn’t able to play fortnite and I had to play on a Nintendo and I just brought a second hand Ps4 slim and I log into my fortnite and it says I have no Vbucks. I want to buy more Vbucks but my currency is wrong! How do I fix that!

Ah great, I was playing a game on my Nintendo Switch where out of nowhere, my game randomly decide to crash for no reason which has led me to lose all the progress I have done all night in process. So much fun! Thanks @NintendoAmerica.

@Puertorock77_ Its only a problem when playstation does it, not before, Puerto rock. Look at the virtual stores when nintendo close.

@Bamboozledshoko @eddardmackey @coopercooperco If they did what Nintendo does by doubling down on bad decisions instead of actually fixing what's wrong then you'd probably have a point, but you don't because they actually fix ****.

@XboxSupport So glad that my Elite Wireless Series 2 controller, which cost me $180, has issues after only 2 years AND would cost me $100 to replace. I have 25 year old Super Nintendo controllers that work flawlessly.

I think the crapola on the NES from 1989 to 1991 created its own miniature video game crash, except Nintendo was the only one in the car when it hit the tree. People were sick of being served up garbage, and went to the Genesis to escape it. (Too bad Acclaim followed them.)

@TAFKAB2 @doctorps4 I gave criticism of this game that it deserves. Idk how that makes me a "xbot" if mircosoft or Nintendo did the exact same thing with what Sony is doing with GT7 I would not like it. Tell me why defend a game like GT7 that has the problems I just gave.

@NabbitFan730 —comment of yours as proper criticism instead of acting like "oh Nintendo fans don't like criticism" when you get called out for saying something wrong. You could've criticized the Online, the modes present, even stuff like how certain issues aren't fixed, but you just had—

@Encrylix I may have been a tiny bit harsh but hey that is the price Nintendo fans pay, and I'm not talking about the online service. 🧐

@LumLotus about to shoot the normie player in the foot by targeting violence in gaming, since they pretty much already killed fan service. Once sales fall off the cliff Sony and Microsoft may take notice lol Nintendo seems to be doing well, only if they'd leave emulation alone. 2/2

I’ve been having heaps of trouble with online play recently and I think it’s because I only have 1 nintendo acc but I have 2 active islands linked to that acc … if I make a second acc tho I will have to start my second island over and that’s the island I have hhp on too 😣

Im really tired of the online bullshit in the game... I already know Nintendo won't fix it so the best option is to simply not play it anymore. Sorry to those who probably expect me to even play it but im done...

@DanielMcArdle3 Pointing out very jarring graphical flaws so Nintendo can fix them is a good thing. No one's saying "literally unplayable", and if they are they're a super small minority. I've had a blast with the new tracks, and I'm excited for new ones. They should still be improved though

I’ve got some good news and bad news. Good news I finally got my Twitch connected to my OBS which captures me pwning noobs on my Nintendo Switch thanks to my trusty HMDI capture. Bad news is the audio issues. I’ll stream as soon as it’s fixed. Sorry, guys.

@NintendoAmerica All that time and opportunity to fix the controls and you still manage to make the game unplayable. Camera should have been just the joystick, sword L+joystick. Completely unplayable on Wii U, too annoying to play on Switch. Nintendo Logic® is going to ruin the ******* company.

@Stealth40k This is very strange in PlayStation show the game was running with a framerate that was obviously in the 30fps range,so is frankly don't see this game running on the Nintendo Switch without having big issues with performance.
