  • moldyclay h9 ʎɐlɔʎploɯ ♏ (@moldyclay) reported

    @woesby The bandage should get ripped right off all at once though. I feel like you have been learning things at the same pace that Nintendo drops new games on the Online service.

  • flower_hawk snek d poss (@flower_hawk) reported

    @DirtyBilgeRat @RogueSpyke @JimSterling The big problem with your comparison there is that Nintendo themselves aren’t selling at scalped prices, so they’re not making any of the scalped profit.

  • YungLoob nightcore **** (@YungLoob) reported

    @bakaridge @remakeyourself I have a problem with it because 5 years later, most Nintendo games are still 60 USD. So on top of that I have to pay an additional 20 USD per year just so I can play online. I only care about NSO because of online play.

  • SIeepniac sleep (@SIeepniac) reported

    Member when nintendo made me pay money for a service I was getting for free to play games I don't care aboit

  • SOLUNA_KNIGHT Soluna Knight (@SOLUNA_KNIGHT) reported

    @NintendoUK Was expecting something a bit more special or even an amiibo reveal/pack in edition. Will continue to buy my games from GAME as you get a much better reward/points service than Nintendo 🙃🙃🙃

  • Sliider3 BΞN - H○RIZON LORΞ (@Sliider3) reported

    @vicious696 nah. releasing day 1 on pc devalues the console. just as releasing day 1 on a sub service devalues the game. this is precisely why nintendo & sony dont do it.

  • NintendoShame Nintendo Shame (@NintendoShame) reported

    It's been 176 days since the last game was added to the Nintendo Switch Online service

  • yggdrasilsaltar Bowser’s Inside Story Fan Account (@yggdrasilsaltar) reported

    nintendo’s biggest problem isnt deemseea’s or whatever, its the fact they release and make cool *** figures for cheap and then they’re gone in 2 weeks

  • belowavg_otaku Markass Brownlee (@belowavg_otaku) reported

    @NintendoAmerica Please fix N64 emulation on switch, I paid $50 for an emulator that runs worse than the wide variety of free emulators on PC.

  • opwnusprime Tore ( still hasnt watched encanto) (@opwnusprime) reported

    @NoStrife @PaulTassi @Forbes Thats kinda the problem tho. With nintendo as a whole. I bought monster hunter stories 2 and that game chuuuuuugs and is so framy on switch. Everyone just gives nintendo a pass on how their games look. Yes they are fun. But there should also be a standard and theyre a gen behind

  • eliascrowe_ Elias Crowe (@eliascrowe_) reported

    @SolidRoar @EmilyRogersBlog True. Especially the emu. problems. I just hope Nintendo will keep the service from now on and build on it instead of starting a new experiment with the successor. It could eventually turn into something great.

  • Sliider3 BΞN - H○RIZON LORΞ (@Sliider3) reported

    @vicious696 nah. releasing day 1 on pc devalues the console. just as releasing day 1 on a sub service devalues the game. this is precisely why nintendo & sony dont do it. and frankly, i dont want them to. i can afford to buy my consoles & own my games.

  • NEZHEADSHOT NEZHEADSHOT (@NEZHEADSHOT) reported

    @jackscosplay1 Nintendo still hasnt fixed drift issue since switch came out 5 or so years ago. There is a DIY fix but still.

  • Dayspreceding Days (@Dayspreceding) reported

    Everyone rolls up to defend nintendo releasing empty field simulator and mad I don't like it, but got nothing to say about actual problems in gaming.

  • mikestinctively Robots Androids & Cyborgs - 🌠 (@mikestinctively) reported

    @NintendoAmerica UPDATE MARIO MAKER 2!!!!!!!!!!! Make the "BOO" option actually get rid of the horrible levels in Multiplayer mode, there's so much trash there! Let's work on the connection issues too while we're at it.

  • MakoTensei Mako (🌸;ω;) 罰 (@MakoTensei) reported

    You know, its kinda crazy how nintendo did barely anything for zelda's anniversary besides that game and watch thing that no one wants, putting ocarina in a bad emulator on a subscription service and remastering a widely considered bad zelda game (admittedly fixing it a bit tho)

  • johnrolandp14 JR Pamiloza™ (@johnrolandp14) reported

    @imgoldenyt Too bad the service is not Available on my country so I would still stay on my Android and Nintendo Switch.. currently have plans to get a PS4 for now as well.. hahaha

    nintendo wii broken

  • ToothpickKiwi Kiwi Toothpick (@ToothpickKiwi) reported

    @jessiful_ You know, honestly, this isn't a bad idea. They should add this as a versus mode in the next Mario game. Like literally regular Mario except you're not working together bc f@%k your friends. It'd be super chaotic and super fun! @NintendoAmerica, get on this!!!

  • hlvsthk halee || twerk era (@hlvsthk) reported

    @dream_renat00 I don't have nintendo po, broken ***** po aq

  • TKong98729699 T.Kong #nuevoDK2022 (@TKong98729699) reported

    @DaX_Kick_BadAss @Chris_Dring Nintendo also had stock problems. Forced bait.

  • Das_Hans Hans von Schröder (@Das_Hans) reported

    So, Nintendo, one of the reasons people bought that snes and nes mini, was the fine tuned responsiveness and playing games on official hardware. So why do you banish all N64 games to a laggy streaming service. Sure, one day you won’t care anymore, but not today.

  • Puppiemaster Jerry L'Estrange (@Puppiemaster) reported

    @serrjn First World fanboy problem, its not even a problem, Nintendo have already won this gen with 10 year old hardware

  • Nors4at281 Nors4at2 (@Nors4at281) reported

    @NintendoAmerica Maybe I'll get these when Nintendo starts putting good games on their online service. Be honest, it sucks and they don't care. The e-shop on the WiiU runs laps around this crap. So, no no no no and no. Also, no.

  • prjpro prjpro (@prjpro) reported

    @verynetwork I have a problem with my Nintendo Switch, but I cannot find any way to contact customer service other than the telephone. Is there any other way to report an issue?

  • BigheadedDerek Bigheaded (@BigheadedDerek) reported

    @xMBGx Honestly I hope so. And if so, I hope it’s similar to Xbox’s implementation. I want to be able to play my physical games or buy them digitally off the store. I don’t want and refuse a service like what Nintendo offers

  • Kabula_Queen Bridget (@Kabula_Queen) reported

    @JustmeRclol @NintendoAmerica Kirby Superstar is already on there so I have my favorite game. Though sad that I might lose it in the future if there’s no longer an online service. We’re still a long way away from that but I wish Nintendo would let me keep it.

  • pure_pandamonio Pandamoniac (@pure_pandamonio) reported

    @GameStop hey GameStop. Pretty dissatisfied with your guys service. In October, I bought a pre-owner copy of Hidden Objects for the Nintendo switch. The game freezes and can’t even read. I did not purchase a warranty apparently either… why do I need to pay more?
