  • Morgagain_ morg (@Morgagain_) reported

    @mario_adv2nture @InfernoOmni Nintendo can’t even make their controllers without drift. Switch had been out for over five years and they have just let this MASSIVE issue persist without even trying to fix the design. Only patching it with some repair program.

  • DiablosBlood Dia🩸 (@DiablosBlood) reported

    @Kotaku That's cool but can Nintendo be as progressive with their online service and entire library of games they refuse to let anyone play

  • maxyahn6434 Keithyyyy (@maxyahn6434) reported

    @UberFacts Playing with Power on Crackle. I can easily use that to watch if I have a Nintendo history fix

  • armormodechang K'eeg (@armormodechang) reported

    I really need to play Bayonetta 2, so much of what I hear about it makes it sound like it fixes a ton of my problems with the first game Nintendo prices though...

  • SiymX siym (@SiymX) reported

    @NintendoAmerica I literally can’t play with my bro. He can’t even join the party. Fix the damn game

  • hcva нαηѕα (@hcva) reported

    @EpicGamesBackup now this is scary. I went to epic games login on my laptop, and said I want to login via a Nintendo account. That is all information I gave. Next, you already know who I am, I haven’t logged in yet though. Are you connecting all devices behind an IP address?

  • Dragonborn_YT DragonbornYT (@Dragonborn_YT) reported

    @WilliamTimeMage @FireflyEnchant @3clipse_tt The issue is that TPC manage pokemon news cycles, not Nintnendo, perhaps they have opted to delay their news while Nintendo did not.

  • Finster2339 Finn (@Finster2339) reported

    @NintendoAmerica @FallGuysGame @Mediatonic I know it is not you Nintendo. The evidence is there that this is a Fall Guys issue. Just thought you should know that they have no problem throwing you under the bus.

  • orchard_julian Julian Orchard (@orchard_julian) reported

    @forestminish I don’t see the issue. It’s just another version of trophies abs achievements. Nintendo fanboys butthurt.

  • AllHailBop Bop Simon (@AllHailBop) reported

    @nintendolife I got in contact with their customer service to ask what this meant for Xenoblade and they told me that they'd contact everyone who signed up for the notification thingy if they're not able to offer it before launch (in 2 weeks) Cutting it very close there Nintendo...

  • PlanoNameHokeB Sr.Hoke (@PlanoNameHokeB) reported

    Like, my problem isn't that it's a joke, my problem is that what is the point of it exactly? Being annoyed that Kirby fans get more games than Nintendo fans? Are some people are taking this way to seriously? Yes, but the comment Arlo made is still unnecessary imo

  • Korn3lo Kornel (@Korn3lo) reported

    @valvesoftware Collection runs great on switch, but i have one problem. Why i need nintendo switch online to play portal 2 single-player challenge mode?

  • Proggy__Froggy Ray the Flying Human (@Proggy__Froggy) reported

    Nintendo is the absolute worst at the live service model.

  • vicctre ✨Atreyu James✨ (@vicctre) reported

    @LonelyGoomba @ArloStuff As far as I’ve seen, most fans take issue that Arlo says Nintendo makes Kirby, when HAL makes the series, and that’s why Kirby gets games consistently, and it doesn’t throw a wrench in the development of anything Nintendo themselves are doing

  • JPiskopos Piski (@JPiskopos) reported

    @extragnw Controller disconnecting when wired is a cord issue, try a new cord it doesn't necessarily have to be nintendo brand

  • MegaFastbro MegaFastbro (@MegaFastbro) reported

    @nintendolife What's kinda weird is that I've been on the My Nintendo Store a couple times in the past couple weeks and I've had no problems

  • Lasloser1 Lasloser (@Lasloser1) reported

    @ShinyScribbles In early versions of the Japanese tomodachi life there was a glitch in the game that allowed male miis to date and marry each other. Nintendo patched this out saying that they would make it a proper feature in later games after people protested this.

  • Jafartomo Herlock Sholmes brainrot (@Jafartomo) reported

    @Morgagain_ @mario_adv2nture @InfernoOmni What if I tell you that that drift isn't just a Nintendo problem in Xbox and Sony also had that problem with their newest controllers because they all use the same parts for the joystick

  • IbrahimAlQue Rabi (@IbrahimAlQue) reported

    @kiri_bakugo I used to either play on phone/Nintendo, otherwise I’d be watchin anythin on the phone till i crash, it’s very effective actually.

  • SquishMTR 💚Midori Squish💚 (@SquishMTR) reported

    God it would he hilarious if the Mario movie is *** and it just bombs. Like Nintendo goes through the trouble of purchasing a whole company to make movies and then their first movie doesn't even make back the budget

  • Youarebad_hi flakez (@Youarebad_hi) reported

    @FaZeMew @1xSlaxx @CLXGaming Probably not gonna win this but I really wanna win this PC because right now I play on Nintendo switch and it’s a real struggle because in the middle of games I may get a bunch of FPS lag to where I can’t see and it will make me die because of it so plz if you see this consider m

  • RealCatKirby Cat Kirby || HAPPY BASTILLE DAY (@RealCatKirby) reported

    @realtoastyboio Windows 11 is "rushed" just like Nintendo games but still uhh IT WILL CHANGE WITH UPDATES I GOT UPDATES WHEN I GOT THE COMPUTER I HAVE NO PROBLEMS OR GLITCHES

  • DrewTheShim Sexy Little Ran-man🐝 (@DrewTheShim) reported

    @SteeloAndKri @itspokeminh The real issue is just tryna find ROMs honestly since Nintendo is lame

  • LiQuiDSunn LiquidSunn (@LiQuiDSunn) reported

    @RoddyDodger86 @Wario64 Oh ok well the new service came out in June. It would have kind of look weird if they didn't have a reward system like Nintendo and Xbox it only makes sense

  • epyoncf Kornel Kisielewicz (@epyoncf) reported

    @tomerbarkan @Atrix256 My point being - in the gamedev sphere you cannot create a serious language/engine without getting into bed with Microsoft/Sony/Nintendo. Which significantly limits the spontaneous creation of minor players in the field. Hence, it's a much bigger problem.

  • howtojapanese Daniel Morales (@howtojapanese) reported

    @Brett_Fujioka @acelee I just got the Nintendo online service and meant to try that game out but have been slammed with packing.

  • BbyLevvv Lev (@BbyLevvv) reported

    @mk8james @NintendoAmerica It’s not the release date that’s the problem, it’s the lack of news about it. Almost 4 months and they’ve been dead silent on it. They announced wave 1 one month before it was released, Wave 2 we have nothing but speculation.
