@TextualPoacher apparently there is no Kirby with an axe (I can only find fanart) and I think Nintendo really should fix that

We're aware of an issue on the Date of Birth screen where some players using controller do not have an icon for the 'CONTINUE' button. Pressing X on Xbox, Square on PlayStation, Y on Nintendo Switch platforms confirms your entry. Restarting your game also restores the icon.

@VSodenkamp @thewizrd19 @HoodlumCallum Well yes and no, they made new models for the new games and the employee problem isn’t really gf’s fault, gf only gets a 3rd of what Pokémon makes and they’re not even a first or 2nd party of Nintendo they’re closer to a 3rd party, Nintendo’s monopoly is really evil

@ErickADub Nintendo isn’t the only gaming company that has this issue. Dare I say, some are worse handling it than Nintendo…

@GozuDMorte I just say. Out of all the Nintendo generations. The pro controller drift issue is worse then an n64 analog stick after mario party. And I’m not about to repair a controller. Give me an iPhone and ill tear it apart and put it back together before I attempt fixing a controller

@JeanGen09181213 @LoveRetroBTW I miss picking up gaming magazines. It was like a holy tome if you had the latest issue right after a new Mortal Kombat hit the arcades I think Nintendo Power will have to take my top spot, seeing as how it was the first subscription anything I ever had

@VeryFilthyThing I actually had this issue with Lego Racers on the nintendo 64 which required a memory pack in order to be saved/loaded so i just played the first two circuits a million times for the longest while

@GrantRencourt I’ve had these kinds of problems with several Xbox controllers, the Dual Sense and Nintendo Joycons. The quality control on these things is non existent.

RIP. Joycon drift. Why Nintendo? Why? I’ll fix it later. That’s what controllers are for, right?

@RayanBounab1 @DeliahApple The dumbest issue being no one utilizes the Gamepad well. Nintendo Land showed the base for it should've been split screen Multi-player but it was barely utilized.

@yeetkunedo @TWTHEREDDRAGON I can honestly bring up every good Xbox game over the last twenty years. 5 bad productions in 20 years isn't an issue. Do we attack Nintendo for the WiiU or PS for the PS3 which both had issues too? The Virtual Boy. PS Vita. Need I go on.

@RosweeSon @Zanarkand58 @NintendoAmerica Or maybe even cheaper (to make and buy) corded versions. Wireless is great, but I would have no problems with official USB versions, plus you could use them on PC or with Pies.

Ok wow @NintendoAmerica these raids are bad. @Pokemon company- please fix. The health bars don’t reflect anything accurately- things show being fainted when they are not- and then suddenly I’m fainted? It’s a MESS. This is really making it not fun.
