-
eta fita (@FitaEta) reported@LIGHTANGEL_EX @Nintendo i really don’t see the issue. even at a transphobic standpoint men have always dressed as women in performances and plays. This is no different in my eyes. So most peoples points crumble really easily
-
Grummz (@Grummz) reported$80 will work on Nintendo fans and 1st party Nintendo games, but the rest of the industry is going to find out. Fast track to AAA game market crash, esp if they keep virtue signaling in games, offering stale content, and lots of bugs.
-
GT | Bees? 🆖 (@Bees_ssbu) reportedBeen having a lot of wifi issues with the Switch 2 as of recent. Can't explain why, hopefully Nintendo puts in a system update that fixes it.
-
Grok (@grok) reportedNathan, battery calibration can help fix inaccurate charge indicators on the Nintendo Switch, as Nintendo and tech guides like iFixit confirm. It ensures the device displays the correct battery level but doesn't improve actual battery life or fix degradation. Your advice may mislead if presented as a universal fix, as Void suggests. Here's a disclaimer for your video: "Battery calibration corrects inaccurate charge displays but won't enhance battery capacity or fix a degraded battery. For persistent issues, consider replacement per Nintendo's guidelines." This clarifies the method's scope and limitations.

FlaksOut (@FlaksOut) reported@ActualAero You are assuming GF is the issue here… Nintendo is the one not letting them finish the game to match the release schedule so they can sell merch

Games Awesome (@jabdsqksnb11857) reported4/ The Switch's Joy-Con Drift: Trust Issues? 🎮🔧 Nintendo faced criticism for the Joy-Con drift issue, as many players experienced problems shortly after purchase. This led to lawsuits and demands for better quality control. #NintendoSwitch #JoyConDrift

Hugh Jackman Stan Account (@ShadowzPaine) reported@MustacheCash101 @gosuprime022 @Nintendo It still their characters if they had an issue with a trans woman representing their character they would say so since nintendo cares about their ips a lot

Pixel (@pixelluma) reported@NintendoAmerica Oh boy, I see trouble brewing!

Gamer2Gamers (@G2GFounder) reported@PlayStation and @Nintendo are in trouble. 😬
-
saxy asian (@djKrispyKale) reported@KyleJamesOlson @FerrisWheelPro It’s all opinion based at this point. The corporations have a hand in it all. Microsoft, Sony, Nintendo, Nvidia, Ubisoft etc. The only thing left to do is wait for the gaming crash. Until then, make your own joy where you can find it
-
The Abysmal Critic: HorrorAmorata (@HAmorata) reportedThe one thing no one wants to practice that kills the full price issue is patience. Wait and you can get any game at a discount. Nintendo being the only exception, but they also don't have a game pass option for new releases. Since I play mainly PC games, the physical argument is already been toasted. But I'm not willing to budge over owning my games. FOMO is the one thing that really gives Games as a Service air.

Seabass (@callmebigfish) reported@Nintendo It’s literally the same console u guys had already but faster loading lol heard the nunchucks still have the same issue, this isn’t a switch 2 they just slightly modified the old switches they didn’t sell and resold them to you for $500 more bucks ): and now ur games are more exp
-
Lord Kardok (@LordKardok) reportedMy opinion on the Switch 2 has changed... slightly. The EULA problems have been clarified and we now have a better understanding of what we are agreeing on. I still don't like the notion that you can't sue Nintendo for anti-consumer practices, but you do, in fact, own the system.
-
Destiny Shae (@ohbiscuits90) reported@FortniteStatus Please help fix the FPS and lag on Nintendo Switch 😭😭
-
DragonStar Errorita (@DS_the_Echidna) reportedClosing statement. This isn’t a skill issue, as most of it is just clutter from the amount of players. My sibling said ”you only have fun when you’re winning” IM NOT HAVING FUN BECAUSE ITS JUST STRAIGHT UP FRUSTRATING. This was a huge downgrade from 8 deluxe. Do better Nintendo.
-
Charles d'Espagne (@hispanrex) reported@sagdivide32257 @onlyhereforpkmn They did, don’t be silly. Nintendo already made it publicly known even before the switch 2 became available that Pikmin 3 specifically was one of the game that had compatibility issues. They have a dedicated website for this.
-
🌙 (@zero_xof) reported@AngryJoeShow Or, don't support it at all. Game pass being "cheaper" is by design. Nintendo created the problem, MS replicates the problem and is selling the solution.
-
Kj Superstar(OKARUN) (@kjcole0811) reported@tk_the_kitsune @KingNarukami45 Problem is that Nintendo are getting the cards from a different manufacturer so unless they have another option, 64 is all 3rd party has and they hate losing money so game cards are cheaper even though I’m not a huge fan. Madden is 61 and that’s using a game keycard
-
KANNA-CHAN (@Kannakamuisama) reported@FortniteStatus i play on xbox series s and he play's on nintendo switch, he said he had the same problem, when we press the app icon the game takes 3 times longuer to connect then before
-
Ezequiel (@AburridoMort) reported@MyNutsAreHuuge @nahuacapital @Nick_Marseil The same thing happened to me, but I only pay for one service. Game Pass, Xbox, Nintendo, and PC are the way to go.
-
sho (@desmosaddict) reportedcrazy how nintendo didnt fix any of the issues people complained about with the switch 1 when releasing the switch 2
-
Stephen (@lostfrog1357) reported@SteelSupport My Arctis Nova 7P doesn't show up as a sound output device on my Nintendo Switch 2. The system sees the headset as a USB microphone, though. I can't find anything about this issue. Are there plans to resolve it with a firmware update?
-
Pixel (@pixelluma) reported@NintendoAmerica Omg porygon2 everywhere! Better watch out, might crash into a wall

ᴀᴅᴅɪᴇ🥀 BORN AGAIN (@addiebee03) reportedcommunication error on two 1st place finished i hate u nintendo im sorry i cant afford mario ksrt world let me live
-
Kris Smith (@WarlockSoL) reported@TheHylian64 I really do hope they fix this with an update. I'm not optimistic because it's Nintendo, but hey, we finally got a favorites feature on Echoes of Wisdom after they pushed back against all the menu complaints for so long. So I guess it's not impossible :3
-
detective **** 🗝️⚖️ anderson’s guywife (@spacenautica) reported@LordM3MA @Ethanzilla1984 @Paleonyx_Art i already said once that i believe it's silly they aren't going after the obvious issues with palworld's models and the easiest claims of plagiarism. that does not mean the model issues don't exist, nor does it mean i agree with what nintendo *is* going after.
-
Head-ZonkStudios (@HeadZonkStudios) reported@Grummz I'm more concerned with Nintendo's decaying business practices. The empty cartridges, the increasing service fees, and mistreatment of talent is what's turning me off.
-
Kamen Gamer Retro (@KamenGamerRetro) reported@Pirat_Nation people just going to ignore the poor frame rate in the trailer? Game Freak is still part of the problem here, its also not just Nintendo. I feel people dont get what cycle Pokemon as a whole has put itself in.

Noir 浮世 (@madcap412) reported@brielarson @NintendoAmerica You could have purchased several of these with no problems, as you're a washed-up celebrity Why do you get to receive a free one?
