  • PenScribbleDX ❄️Penguinscribble❄️| BLM | I GOT THE SHINY !!!!! (@PenScribbleDX) reported

    nintendo has a Functioning Online Service

  • Fg4Smash Fighting Games For Smash! (@Fg4Smash) reported

    @NintenZ Why uncertain on Crash? I mean he's super popular and would practically be a steal for Nintendo in my opinion.

  • NinaButAgain 🏳️‍⚧️ 🏳️‍🌈 Nina got sus'd 🏳️‍🌈 🏳️‍⚧️ (@NinaButAgain) reported

    "Nintendo is bad" Ok goo- "Other corporation good" Mf u so close to getting the issue

  • Gozufucker69 Gozu (@Gozufucker69) reported

    invent a way to fix the nintendo switch drifting and suddenly i wake up in a compound in guatemala with armed guards wearing nintendo-branded hats

  • Miguel_Casso Miguel (@Miguel_Casso) reported

    @AnotherBlob Basically if the investigator does not have evidence on paper that Nintendo ordered him to do something illegal, the problem will eat himself

  • DavidJSla David (@DavidJSla) reported

    @FoamC0w @grantkirkhope Completely disagree. It doesn't need to be a Nintendo exclusive. It just needs to be a good game (who'd have thought right?) which isn't hard when all the goodies are already there. Redo music, graphics, add in a few little things/easter eggs. Look at Spyro and Crash remakes.

    @AnotherBlob Basically if the private investigator does not have evidence on paper that Nintendo ordered him to do something illegal, the problem will be eaten by himself

  • Anarchopriapism Jack Frost Sucking At Your Toes (@Anarchopriapism) reported

    God Nintendo eshop sucks so bad. Not only does it not have a shopping cart, it also doesn't even let you gift games to your friends. Joke service.

  • JJCTroy JJCTroy (@JJCTroy) reported

    @tempora26011882 @prince_leor @NintendoAmerica Problem is, these pervs are only ousted after being caught, and after absurd amounts of deniability. Hopefully there aren’t too many more among them. 🙏🏼

  • 7Brianjw Certified Lover Boy (@7Brianjw) reported

    @rachie8aa @jhenxchris Crash is neither a fox nor a Nintendo title 💀

  • femboydante revolver ocelynx (@femboydante) reported

    this is lunar in my mind, nintendo is really becoming disney, no magic no fun no creativity, just an imposed vision and legal issues

  • tiramimikyu Indie @ Sonic Games (@tiramimikyu) reported

    all of my nintendo consoles have a case of some sort but im having trouble finding one for the gaw :/

  • Miguel_Casso Miguel (@Miguel_Casso) reported

    @AnotherBlob and Nintendo only has to delete the information from its servers and change the hard drives in case a judge decides to issue an order and the evidence no longer exists

  • CommanderFuckw1 CommanderFuckwit (@CommanderFuckw1) reported

    @ForShantae 1: Yes. 2: Crash, Chell and one more Nintendo character. 3: While it would be nice, it’s been deconfirmed by Sakurai himself, so...

  • TranscendedPew Transcended Pewball (@TranscendedPew) reported

    @NintendoAmerica Problem: Star has a time limit. Pretty sure I’d drown the moment it runs out

  • Crownified Crown (@Crownified) reported

    Basically Nintendo had a problem, there were a ton of homebrew and hacking going on with the 3DS early in the console's launch. 2/

  • TheRealMayoMan_ 🎄Serg🎄 (@TheRealMayoMan_) reported

    Smash online is ******* awful. Fix your **** @NintendoAmerica

  • mirseum Rebecca Mir (@mirseum) reported

    One of my joy cons got the dreaded drift issue so I did the send to Nintendo to get it fixed thing and it works great now! Kind of a long and cumbersome process but so glad that this was a contactless and free option.

  • haydenopus lakota (@haydenopus) reported

    Wishing everyone and anybody , a healthy and safe Xmas. It's different this year was a war zone and the holidays are just not working. Hopefully Nintendo will stop being such ******* in 2021.

  • K_Jez1 Kevin Jezuit (KJez) (@K_Jez1) reported

    @FluxPlatinum The only thing killing the game is Nintendo's Online service and Ultimate netcode lol.

  • theateremokid Merp (@theateremokid) reported

    @Sir_Vamped @SquareEnix @DragonQuest Engine issues. The new content was built in an updated version of Unreal Engine 4, making it incompatible with older versions of the game. Plus Nintendo.

  • ACWorldBlog Animal Crossing World 🛩️🏝️ (@ACWorldBlog) reported

    @DramakinsTv @crossingIeaf @Nintendo yeah that's it, it needs space so this is how they handle that problem

  • Miguel_Casso Miguel (@Miguel_Casso) reported

    @AnotherBlob that these meetings will never be considered harassment in court, even if Nintendo says that if they existed, also Nintendo has a pass because if there is no explicit evidence that Nintendo ordered to do that investigator all problems will only be the investigator 1/2

  • AntonyJefferson Captain Steel #BLM #TransRights (@AntonyJefferson) reported

    @eventhubs However the one BIG thing I would love to see, but never will, improvements to online, taking out one frame of lag doesn't change anything, the entire system needs tiling and reworking, if SNK and arc sys can do it, sora/namco/Nintendo have no excuses

  • NintenZ Ninty (@NintenZ) reported

    @Fg4Smash I still have to say I am skeptical overall, if Nintendo took more of an apparent interest in Crash as a franchise I might think a little differently but I’m not sure I guess a comparison would be Tracer, also from Activision, whose franchise Overwatch they have taken interest in

  • ShaunMusgrave Shaun Musgrave (@ShaunMusgrave) reported

    See this was a problem I always had with people making jokes and meming about Nintendo ninjas It made people think that the Nintendo ninjas weren't real Those jokes didn't come from nowhere, dummies

  • KaraBowdit Kara Bowdit (@KaraBowdit) reported

    they had so much Nintendo merch near the games section in the basement. In 2007! Sounds run off the mill now but back then video game merch hadn’t broken into the mainstream.

  • xorachelliane rachy (@xorachelliane) reported

    I bought a Nintendo switch with animal crossing 5 hours ago. I’ve already paid off my initial debt to Tom Nook and purchased a new home. I have 110,000💰. This is going to be a problem, isn’t it?

  • rocksleyt toti (@rocksleyt) reported

    @KEEMSTAR 1. A laptop, I really need one, mine is death 2. New cloth, I can't pay for new. 3. One smartphone, mine occasionally crash 4. A Nintendo switch, when I was kid I was in love of snes and Nintendo 64. 5. A ps5, because I have a gamer heart and a pc gamer is too much to ask.

  • adifying ? (@adifying) reported
