  • CallieMacN CallieMacN (@CallieMacN) reported

    I really enjoyed that Nintendo direct! Super happy about the Mario Party game announced! It looks awesome! Shame about no major Animal Crossing update. That really sucks. Had no problems about not seeing Splatoon 3 though.

  • Pokentomologist Pokéntomologist 🦋🐞 BLM 🏳️‍🌈😷 (@Pokentomologist) reported

    @OnlyRealJackM I’d rather have had Doom Slayer. He feels more significant and has more of a relationship with Nintendo. But my major hope at this point is Crash.

  • 311Phillies I3i11y (@311Phillies) reported

    @NintendoAmerica I still can’t play Ocarina of Time on my Switch. Fix that soon, please

  • chari_zmatic chari 🏳️‍🌈 (@chari_zmatic) reported

    I just bought a game from the eshop and it wont download, is anyone else having nintendo eshop issues? Is it server side?

  • itstheJade jade (@itstheJade) reported

    @chari_zmatic as far as i know no, i'd check and see if there's like a nintendo reddit or something that brought up the issue but all i know right now is just avoiding the update or waiting until they release a new one

  • EHedgedragon 💙Ethan The Hedgedragon🌙 (VA🎙) (@EHedgedragon) reported

    @MrGaming3590 Look I’m trying to make Nintendo and Activision to add Crash Bandicoot in SMBU and there’s no way that Crash Bandicoot nor Spyro The Dragon can be forgotten they need to be remembered

  • Brrrambles Brambles (@Brrrambles) reported

    @ShyGuyOmega @twazzlerz @C9Mang0 and as for the actual new games none of them reallt scratched that itch for me, and the problem is that previous nintendo consoles did that for me, I loved games like BotW, Xenoblade X, DKCTF etc on the wii u, I also have a lot of great experiences on other previous consoles..

  • NShmups Shmups'n'Stuff on Switch (@NShmups) reported

    @DoDanpachi I get it too. This is a problem related to Nintendo's latest firmware update.

  • PeteSkerritt Pete Skerritt (@PeteSkerritt) reported from West Springfield, Massachusetts

    Nintendo keeps being clownshoes with Switch Error 2123-1502. At this point, users should consider looking into class action against the company for failure to deliver goods after payment being rendered. Maybe a lawsuit or three will make the company get off its ***.

  • Ruebeus1 Ruebeus (@Ruebeus1) reported

    @Jebailey The supply problem is due to the parts used to make the CPU in PS5/Xbox. So long as Nintendo uses parts that are not in short supply there won't be a shortage.

  • BootsTheGod617 Tim Boots (@BootsTheGod617) reported

    @TheEggman64 Why would Nintendo and Sony exclusives be a factor in whether game pass is good for budget gamers on Xbox? Also, the games you mention are on GP. Warzone and fortnite are free to play. Why are ppl so hard pressed to dispute the value of an optional service? Either use it or don't

  • BarrowsBOY BarrowsBOY (@BarrowsBOY) reported

    @sgt_cisco I mean... if the music industry is in control Cisco... how is it Twitch's fault? I don't know how you can say this is Twitch's issue. Nintendo's action. Music industries policy. What is Twitch's fault?

  • lazypinez gay little marten 🎵🏳️‍🌈🌻 (@lazypinez) reported

    @NintendoUK unfortunately can't download them because the update is broken

  • UnderdogDbD UnderDog Whisperer (@UnderdogDbD) reported

    Well, we tried to do a co-op stream but after that update, the Nintendo Switches seem to crash. There are reports with DbD on their bug forums. Are you getting crashes too? Is yours working fine? Please let me know. #UnderDogWhisperer #IntoTheFog

  • Davis97Malcolm Malcolm R. Davis (@Davis97Malcolm) reported

    @skullbash53 @JeffMan1490 @NintendoAmerica I am going to assume it's about the issue i've been having where downloads just stop for no reason. Not for internet reasons or lack of space.

  • BaLueWolfie BaaLue (@BaLueWolfie) reported

    @everyone Well, we tried to do a co-op stream but after that update, the Nintendo Switches seem to crash. There are reports with DbD on their bug forums. Are you getting crashes too? Is yours working fine? Please let me know. #UnderDogWhisperer #IntoTheFog

  • m12ario07 BillyBob 125 (@m12ario07) reported

    YouTube really needs to fix their footage and audio desyncing issues. I keep trying to watch the Nintendo Direct but whenever I do the audio gets desynced from the footage by a second or 2.

  • HamburgerJack The Cubus is a GIFT not a CRIME (@HamburgerJack) reported

    @KetracelBlack That's too hard for them. They make sales on nostalgia alone Nintendo fans have their niche games and never get mad at the company as a whole for barely doing better in games wrt to graphics, game play, or even online service that is massively behind other big companies

  • VioletPhox Violet (@VioletPhox) reported

    My favorite thing is that Nintendo will always show the actual gameplay for the most part, with hud, and visual errors. I'd rather see that any day than a CG trailer, or a weird hybrid of gameplay with no hud that feels fake

  • Amthomaslove Anime Trash (@Amthomaslove) reported

    @SenRenais @NintendoAmerica I have no problem not getting what I want but when they say they're done with new announcements is the problem I have

  • Epicgamer4981 Epicgamer498 (@Epicgamer4981) reported

    @DeadByBHVR i am currently playing the new map on Nintendo switch with my friend but the map makes the game crash

  • kinkerbleh Daan (@kinkerbleh) reported

    The Nintendo direct was in my opinion not worth it I have 2 tests tomorrow but I watched the direct instead I am in a large amount of trouble

  • PeteSkerritt Pete Skerritt (@PeteSkerritt) reported from West Springfield, Massachusetts

    It’s been a WEEK. And don’t come at this with “it works for me” or “here’s how *I* fixed it” nonsense. It’s Nintendo’s responsibility to correct this issue or start issuing refunds and settlements. Cut the ****, Nintendo. Figure it out.

  • NotMadBen ben (@NotMadBen) reported

    @JLinErie sure, I have no problem saying nintendo served as the inspiration for much of what we see today but that doesn't mean any of those franchises are still the modern standard bearers for any of the genres (bc they certainly are not)

  • httpsEthanGames 𝖊𝖙𝖍𝖆𝖓.𝖌𝖆𝖒𝖊𝖘 (@httpsEthanGames) reported

    @NintendoUK Be good if you could fix the firmware so we could download games again. Cheers

  • Carin_McLeoud M🖋Black Lives Matter🖋Kistulot (@Carin_McLeoud) reported

    Reminder that Nintendo is still the company that keeps reselling you their old games at a markup, sells limited time deals, can't make an online service that doesn't suck, and is consistently ****** on every single social issue. Yes, Malibu Stacy has a new hat. **** 'em anyway.

  • chcherrymilk kryssi °ㅅ ° (@chcherrymilk) reported

    @NintendoUK Yeah but fix the issue please. I can’t download any new games I’m buying :/

  • RhunWords David Smith (@RhunWords) reported from Melbourne, State of Victoria

    Finally cracking. I only have to put Nintendo news pieces together and I cannot focus. Here, at the end, E3 has finally broken me.

  • josephm41804215 StartAInfection (@josephm41804215) reported

    @ZeNx_Tequa Not having crash bandicoot as smash dlc is just minus all of the points that Nintendo had from the rest of their reveals

  • TMario_SSBU TMario (@TMario_SSBU) reported

    Nintendo Direct was incredible. New Metroid, Mario Party, SMT5, botw2 gameplay. Honestly the least interesting thing might be the new smash character. I really dont care about him as long as hes not extremly broken, but as a DLC char he probably is going to be broken again.
