@Ravage656 @NintendoAmerica Yes, but so does every company. And that just sounds like a you problem. That's not an actual issue that needs brought tention to. Nintendo doesn't cater to you, you know. I'm trying to be the one postive person in this, quit trying to ruin things for others over your problem

@affectionhoe the last time I heard about extremely bad translations was when Collar x Malice Unlimited was localized for Nintendo Switch a few years back. the players made a spreadsheet of the errors and asked the publisher to make a patch to fix the errors. a patch was released later on.

@ChappellTracker @MrGeop In the early 2000s Nintendo had a very weird brand image problem trying to compete with the gamer meme we all know today a product of Microsofts entry into the market, They wanted to also look cool and it fell totally flat cause you know Nintendo is not cool its cute and thats OK

Nintendo needs to fix their joycons or offer replacements or SOMETHING ASAP. These useless amalgamations of wires and plastic cost WAYY too much for them to just consistently break. Nintendo, get your **** together. AND GET SOME HIGHER QUALITY ONLINE PLAY TOO WHILE YOU'RE AT IT!

@UltimaShadowX Even tho I didn’t have any Nintendo consoles at that time I just wanted figures if my faves and I felt like it wasn’t even worth the trouble

@FeoUltima nintendo not being able to rerelease earthbound or earthbound beginnings is such bullshit because theres not music issue within the games themselves sony just owns oublishing rights

@phosphor_glow I really like the two-pronged SuperPad but also yeah I've had to crack mine open a bunch of times and fix **** *and* the analog stick sits at a kind of unnatural angle and leads to frustration here and there, whereas the only way the Nintendo pads ever really fail is in the stick

@ace_br3ak @huckori @NintendoAmerica The problem with that is even if they did it still may not be as good as this, the direction here is almost perfect! Nintendo should hire this guy and have him direct tbe remake

@CharMayCry @UltimaShadowX I blame Smash. Early on It was not much of an issue because Smash was pretty casual with announcementd, characters could be confirmed pretty casually. But then people got more hyped, the discussions got more views on Youtube, Nintendo noticed, now It was all about the hype.

@ComfortFoodVG Is there debate anywhere for a rescan of Nintendo Power issues anywhere? As the scans haven't aged well.

I encountered a problem while setting up the game capture device, not detecting my Nintendo Switch. Fortunately, I found the saving tutorial video who helped me fixing the issue because I would never have found the solution on my own.

Anybody else having problems with the Nintendo switch version of #LEGOStarWarsTheSkywalkerSaga The game has crashed on me three times now which is pretty much unacceptable. Each time I've lost quite a lot of progress and it makes me not want to play the game.

(@GameOverThirty) reported
@TornadoScrappy I hope Nintendo plans on their online service being the new standard for ALL their devices moving forward. Their "per device" store of the past was problematic and showcases how reluctant Nintendo had been to streamline the process (even if NO doesn't allow for legacy purchases)

THIS IS A PUBLIC SERVICE ANNOUNCEMENT: There are scammers going around forums inviting people to their islands & offering bells/in game items in exchange for IRL money, egift cards & nintendo+ stuff. Please do not fall for it! #AnimalCrossingNewHorizions #ACNH #AnimalCrossing

Played a bit of the new Switch Sports game last night and my arms are sore. It's got the same problem that other Nintendo online games have. A fantastic foundation with a really unrealized potential.

@TimSweeneyEpic @EpicGames Epic's customer service is pathetic. My 350 v bucks are stuck on my Nintendo account because apparently some v bucks aren't cross platform and your customer agents told me I should have known this even though it took them an 1 hr to figure out why.

@CharMayCry I'm thinking of buying it sometime this/next month to round out the Wii U collection Painful that Nintendo seemingly took down the Wii U part of the online shop so I gotta do it manually on the Wii U itself Painful because I'm having weird connection issues I've never had

@Crutchfield I don't know if you know,but there is a large trend of retro-gamers scooping up CRTs to play games like the original Nintendo and Sega Genesis like they were originally designed.There is a problem though. It seems that no one makes magnetically shielded speakers anymore. Ideas?

@WaylonTFD @Jiikae I get your argument. That's not a Nintendo problem. Imagine if I bought a PS4 and said " I only like God of War and will only play that!" and then complain of games drought because no other GOW has released since like 4 years. That'd be a me problem for not playing anything else

@FlightlessTales I played the first ~1 hour or so a few years back, but my *ahem* totally official OEM Nintendo GameCube had massive performance trouble, so I stopped. Now, though, I could definitely run it just fine.
