  • Terry_S_S terra_syvertson (@Terry_S_S) reported

    @PushDustIn i believe sora will be a dlc fighter because he's owned by Disney and Nintendo would never go through the trouble of getting sora just to screw Disney over by making sora a mii costume, also Disney will allow sora in smash

  • skyhigh9875 . (@skyhigh9875) reported

    @neednotrust @Wario64 That's a good price, sadly Nintendo has it's problems with prices and the fact they never reach pricrs for ps/xbox. I rarely buy games full price but I wish I had bought the kit set for this one,Sadly its out of stock everywhere here in Canada. I sometimes wish wario was Canadian

  • elamarien elamarien (@elamarien) reported

    @Dachsjaeger It's perhaps relative to its broken, single-digit framerate before they sacrificed a few engineers and spread their entrails across an altar made out of nintendo power gloves. That's still a badly aged tweet :P.

  • absurdlyugly patiently waiting for Tales of Arise. (@absurdlyugly) reported

    @detroitotaku @OrigiGreatness Like the crash insane trilogy was justified because those games where completely remade, Nintendo spent next to no money on a ROM dump and charged $60 for it.

    @FortniteGame FIX NINTENDO SWITCH NOT PC

  • M_Chalacinski Michał Chałaciński (@M_Chalacinski) reported

    @MojangSupport my Nintendo Switch is not connecting to the market or friends servers. Its been like this for at least 2 patches. I can play online other games just fine so the error isn't on my side. Any ideas other than uninstall, reset and all that because I've done that?

  • zawithnofriends Sputnik (@zawithnofriends) reported

    Nintendo is so ******* annoying, I know they're in hot water right now but holy **** is it annoying to reach out to their customer service, ask if they can repair my jocons because they've been drifting for about a year, and they proceed to just say no. I regret saving up for...

  • thatsmapizza Thatsmapizza (@thatsmapizza) reported

    @PushDustIn Honestly, I think it's hard to say. Sakurai and Nintendo have been really good at surprising us with their picks. If i had to guess I'd say: Some kind of Xeno-series representative a cartoonish like character, a la Crash or Arle Another villain character.

  • Brandon77477950 Brandon Birch (@Brandon77477950) reported

    @fae_thicc @soulslikegamer I understand that, and of course they should have done that. My issue is that its a charity event. If Nintendo werent so out of touch, they would offer to sell them the liscense first (because its for charity) rather than shutting it down there and then.

  • Koga_NoidZX interior kogadile alligator™ (@Koga_NoidZX) reported

    @Jiikae @artistmaterial Netcode is only a big issue to the core FG audience, everyone else SHOULD care about it but they don't and Smash is a prime example. If casual fans yelled at Nintendo for a better online experience as they did less sword fighers, they absolutely would fix it lmao.

  • mark_maraz Mark R Maraz (@mark_maraz) reported

    @itssobadpod At least they are admitting their mistake and making clear the steps they are taking to fix it and that’s more than can be said about Nintendo and Joy-Con drift.

  • surprisedgnome ꒰ alli ꒱ 🐛 (@surprisedgnome) reported

    @acnhamethystt @NintendoAmerica fix it now or else 🤍

  • Nintendostan8 Nintendo Stan (@Nintendostan8) reported

    @purplemage572 My exact thoughts, it’s sucks but ppl are treating nintendo like Hitler. Because of how insane people are reacting the problem will prob never be solved. 2 wrongs don’t make a right

  • Megajonaspunk J0_n@s (@Megajonaspunk) reported

    @PabiloonRJ Nintendo is just dabbling in the messaging issue, they took it very well in ds and wii but they fell back on switch .

  • ElisaAllechant Elisa Allechant (@ElisaAllechant) reported

    @NintendoAmerica Help, please! Switch bought holidays 2017 not working. New doc & new AC cord still don’t fix. Took it to 2 dif electronics fixers-said something about a motherboard issue on the early additions? Just bought 2 new games, now can’t use them 😭

  • BalancedTake BalancedTake (@BalancedTake) reported

    @PushDustIn I don’t think Crash will make it because he’s too popular of a guess I don’t think Waluigi will get in because Nintendo doesn’t want to reveal that there’s no god

  • iwannamove321 RockyRock45 (@iwannamove321) reported

    @MojangSupport There's this bug on nintendo switch bedrock edition where im stuck on a loading screen. Every time i have to restart minecraft. Please fix this.

  • LenGoesIn len (@LenGoesIn) reported

    @janidgafos @NintendoAmerica They fix for free! I sent in both of mine

  • Mgarcia_100 FUK NEI (@Mgarcia_100) reported

    @littlesmegger @IGN Dude... You're the ******** you brought in nintendo on a post that has nothing to do with it. Why do you do that? What's your problem?

  • Theswweet James @ Labyrinth of Galleria (@Theswweet) reported

    @docsquiddy Once they double-charged me for PS+ due to a webstore error - they agreed it was an error on *their* end but still said that the refund that they gave me was my "one-time exception". Meanwhile Nintendo CSR have always been nothing but amazing.

    @FortniteGame Can you fix some bugs on nintendo switch

  • Simonartzzz Simon Daniel (@Simonartzzz) reported

    @Joshua67394213 How is it not your problem that you bought a nintendo switch?

  • SareailA Sareail Alcradorin (@SareailA) reported

    @NalegeAllDay @Am80Kev @hermenhulst --service rather than with Sony. No one calls Nintendo when your Amazon package of Pokemon doesn't show up. Also, you can't possibly know if more people haven't gotten one than have. A few dozen stories of people not getting what they ordered from Amazon in the UK is not the--

  • JuiceMan_V JuiceManVon (@JuiceMan_V) reported

    @charlie_J86 You damn well know the internet would be filled with rage if Nintendo did this. Thankfully, Nintendo's philosophy doesn't have them releasing super broken games.

  • VairaBrian Brian Vaira (@VairaBrian) reported

    @8BitPatty @JonComms Cause nintendo loves making illogical decisions for some reason :/ The wii u amd 3ds eshop has some virtual console games, and the switch has nes and snes games, but unfortunately its not quite the same as the wii's service.

    @FortniteGame FIX THE PHYSICS ON NINTENDO SWITCH!

  • Delunkleus Mr. Blue Sky (@Delunkleus) reported

    @NintendoAmerica Do not give Nintendo your money during this holiday season or during 2021. Make this soulless company change their broken ways.

  • Sentinat0r Team-Haruhi (@Sentinat0r) reported

    @PushDustIn The problem with your quote Push: Nintendo picked the DLC characters.

  • teddieflask marsh 🎄 (@teddieflask) reported

    i know i sound like a broken record at this point but i just cannot even begin to comprehend how people can defend nintendo for selling wii u ports at full price

  • Trendnipotent Trendinator (@Trendnipotent) reported

    Pixel Junk Monsters 2, the fine defense game with the horrible extremely long loading times and no patch to fix that, is in sale on the #Nintendo #Switch #PixelJunkMonsters2
