  • ErickADub ErickADub (@ErickADub) reported

    Sometimes, I wonder: what's the point of complaining to Nintendo about issues or anything, when y'all say they don't even listen majority of the time?

  • JitterSX Catboy Jitter (@JitterSX) reported

    i just played monster hunter online for the first time and yhere was like, no lag whatsoever, how come more nintendo games cant do this?

  • Shonnieb2 Topdog' The Last Real Brotha Alive (@Shonnieb2) reported

    @TukFriar @Romudeth I fine it funny nobody is asking for Nintendo to have the same service, but as usual Nintendo gets a pass.

  • ARVideoGames Ash (@ARVideoGames) reported

    I’m not a big fan of Xbox’s service obsession. I like consoles. I like new systems with exclusive games I think Xbox are starting to lose interest in that. They want to be a service that’s everywhere, and that’s fine. I just don’t want Sony and Nintendo to do the same

  • AndreLovesSushi bernachá (花 ~ お茶) - incomplete but alive (@AndreLovesSushi) reported

    @doubleamr9 Place your bets, everyone! Let’s see how long it takes for @NintendoAmerica to issue a Cease and Desist against this project!

  • ZombieFlamer Flame (@ZombieFlamer) reported

    @Berez326 I agree But most of the problems with smash games are mostly nintendo problems and not smash problems (Besides the c stick stuff of course) Just wish they cared more for their great games

  • demiaaanlp 맥스 maaaxsss✨ (@demiaaanlp) reported

  • G0thique_ G0thique (@G0thique_) reported

    @steam So I bought an afterglow nintendo switch pro controller, and I called THEIR tech support because it's not working with my PC. They told me that it's not compatible, but other people online say it is. It won't show up in controller config correctly tho, can you help?

  • Sdudyoy Sdudyoy (@Sdudyoy) reported

    @itszesty4 @krackermike25 @LonelyGoomba Sharing and downloading ROMs are what can get you in trouble, emulation however, is perfectly legal. Not that Nintendo would want anyone to know that, but dumping your own ROMs is just fine! I think there would also be problems if you used source code to make an emulator.

    @NintendoAmerica No problem

  • Lucasfrmspace LucasFrmSpace (@Lucasfrmspace) reported

    @Nintendo is full of some really short-sighted and monumentally stupid fucknuts. How on earth do you "update" an online system to a game and end up with MORE dropped connections and lag?! Lmao

    @MajinTensei1 I'm glad Nintendo has learned from the Wii U because the biggest issue on that console had was lack of 3rd parties

  • Kazoorion Kazooinyan (@Kazoorion) reported

    @CasualPhinix @NintendoAmerica Not to mention all the people who don’t have Switches yet. Anyone who gets a Switch nowadays is going to have to pay a ridiculously expensive prices for game that created problems and sold solutions behind a paywall (2/2)
