    @sullivans2004 Same here... But I don't think it's going to be on the NSO service, even via Expansion Pack, it'll probably be like "Mario Kart All-Stars" with 64, Double Dash and Wii. GeT iT nOw BeFoRe It GoEs BaCk InTo ThE nInTeNdO vAuLt!1!1!1

  • SeanMor49948939 Sean Morrison (@SeanMor49948939) reported from Saint John West, New Brunswick/Nouveau-Brunswick

    @MarioBrothBlog @SeleneSelkie I ain't trying to punish Nintendo but to hold them accountable to a reasonable level especially involving their issues against the hacking community and I do lots of researching on the Internet

  • df2506 Daniel Fugate (@df2506) reported

    Chrono Trigger is trending! I wish that was on the Switch. Even on the Nintendo Switch Online service would be fine.

  • NRostram Ned Rostram (@NRostram) reported

    @MHJ83AD @NintendoAmerica Switch has just revealed two brand new add ons to its online subscription service. It’s obviously not going anywhere in the near future.

  • Wooystun_101 Wooystun (@Wooystun_101) reported

    @undeadisntdead Srbdude made a video a couple years back about the left stick. He used some spray and it fixed it for a bit and then he opened the controller up and replace the sticks as a permanent fix (it’s something leaching off the Nintendo sticks). It seems it’d apply to the right stick too

  • ZakiaNaamah Kia (@ZakiaNaamah) reported

    I haven't even had you for two months @NintendoAmerica and my left joycon already drifting! Trying to request a repair is TRASH. Fix this **** already

  • PurpleKeyblade Jayden ~ENGAGED TO FIRE EMBLEM~ (@PurpleKeyblade) reported

    @transapoIIo my biggest issue is the generally glacial pace Nintendo takes with porting the games they claim to celebrate but at least we're getting gba Fire Emblem lol

  • OnionCoupon Peke (@OnionCoupon) reported

    @Tabulatelk15 @WillBeChanged1 @NintendoUK So what's the problem?

  • gamefan_14 Gamefan_14 (@gamefan_14) reported

    @Neo_Pancho Yah. I wonder Why didn’t they release 6th after 7? … When did Nintendo DS release? Could that be the problem?

  • Mikithewiki4 Miki (@Mikithewiki4) reported

    @ZereWasTaken @alexthemoblin @NintendoAmerica There main problem is that they don’t have a limit on it so scalpers are buying them before actual players get their hands on it 👎🏼

  • saequann_ Sae (@saequann_) reported

    @Shpeshal_Nick I think the real issue gif that game was it was Microsoft’s banjo game so it was scrutinized cuz it deviated from the classic banjo everyone was use to but under the Microsoft banner so the deviation/evolution wasn’t accepted… had that progression been with Nintendo…..

  • pierre485_ Pierre485 (@pierre485_) reported

    @Cole_Hamed On sale, having trouble to clear launch shipment, apparently. I would not worry though, as Nintendo reported 150k units shipped in Japan (as of Dec 2022).

  • withcheese12 Hercules Rockefeller (@withcheese12) reported

    @kobunheat @9_volt_ Especially because of the development problems with 4. As I understand it Nintendo basically said this isn’t good enough and brought Retro back onboard? So this is kinda them saying “See this is how it’s supposed to work.”

  • hhellobonn bonn! (@hhellobonn) reported

    is there any way to fix joycon drift? i have the animal crossing nintendo switch,, but can’t use the joycons anymore bc they’re so drifty (haven’t been able to use them in over a year now 💀)

  • ZereWasTaken Zere | 🌊Team Water SWEEP🌊 (@ZereWasTaken) reported

    @Mikithewiki4 @alexthemoblin @NintendoAmerica Nah the main problem is the artificial scarcity they’re doing with these drops. If they didn’t do that, scalpers wouldn’t earn **** since anyone that wants one could get one, they wouldn’t have to resort to eBay markups.

  • Douglas_J_gov Douglas.J.gov 🏳️‍⚧️🏳️‍🌈 (@Douglas_J_gov) reported

    Since the melee community is at a cross roads with Esports and Nintendo and needing more money is always a problem I recommend fizzi add some sort of loot box mechanic that can find and target children with access to their parents debit/credit card

  • Robtheenby R ✨ (They/Them) (@Robtheenby) reported

    Is there any way to fix joy-con drift? I've had this console for less than two years and I'm not happy! 😠 @NintendoUK

  • Bradley_Joe007 Joe007: Quantumania (@Bradley_Joe007) reported

    @BulbaWhat98 I have no problem with it being $70, but I'm concerned for the future and Games Nintendo deems "Worthy" of the $70 price tag

  • TheOnlyFronk Fronk (@TheOnlyFronk) reported

    Every single round. Sometimes this freezes and I have to restart. I am using a brand new flagship android device that is much higher performance than a Nintendo Swifch. I never had this issue. Also sometimes I experience rubber banding and lag during game play. Both LTE & WiFi

  • Asia_kanese Asia Silva (@Asia_kanese) reported

    @NintendoAmerica why we can't get Michael Jackson the experience on the switch? My Wii not working!!

  • MatthewmegaLol Matthewmega (@MatthewmegaLol) reported

    BRO WHY AM I PLAYING WITH TRIPLE BACKLINE NINTENDO PLEASE FIX THIS ****

  • TheBrokeMessiah The Broke Messiah (@TheBrokeMessiah) reported

    @SixersOctavian This is the kind of game I have no issues just pirating, I literally can not give Nintendo my money and they dont seem to want it

  • Rycaster Ryan Prime Remastered (@Rycaster) reported

    Nintendo would actually get some points for me if the NSO apps became free downloads in their entirety when the service eventually discontinues

  • sentences424 SentencesRTA (@sentences424) reported

    I don't believe me know if they used more any% pb cool thanks rats are you nintendo luigi is broken I had today goodbye is

  • frogsaber89 FrogSaberRR (@frogsaber89) reported

    @MK_habit_addict @thegr8one85 I repeat emulation starting with the gameboy then super nintendo because I didn't want to get in trouble.

  • beardedbigmike Michael S. Maciel (@beardedbigmike) reported

    @PlayStation your customer service chat sucks. I’ve been trying to get through the chat bot all week. @XboxSupport and @NintendoAmerica customer service is faster

  • SteveBrandonOTT Steve Brandon (@SteveBrandonOTT) reported

    @SEGAbits @SEGA I understand why Nintendo won't bring back Virtual Console, since they'd rather lock you into a monthly subscription service, but, if N did bring back VC where you only pay once per game, it would be a big incentive for me to finally get a Switch.

  • SJWheeljack Social Justice Wheeljack (@SJWheeljack) reported

    @NeitahChan Especially when Nintendo's last shot at something similar to the Switch did not work out well. Classic if-it-ain't-broke-don't-fix-it situation.

  • Neo_Pancho NeoPancho (commisions open) (@Neo_Pancho) reported

    @gamefan_14 It was in the Japanese ND so you will be able to play it (in Japanese), but i don't see Nintendo translating it and adding it to the online service... I don't really think it will happen, but maybe thay translate it and sell it separately like they did with the 1st Fire Emblem

  • memejohn86 memejohn86 (@memejohn86) reported

    @KBH_yeen my cartridge also doesn't have the pipe glitch. nintendo usually uses the latest revisions of games, and i have v 1.2
