  @_fizzymilk @Jose__517 @SavedYouAClickV Oh yeah, as someone who prefers Playstation for the exclusives/Japanese titles, I'd be lying if I said Microsoft isn't better to its userbase than Sony. That said, at least Sony provides a better online service than Nintendo.

  @squiduffle @Master0fHyrule Apparently after further research, when you get a strike, it says "Nintendo of America" but before that it says "Nintendo". Really there's no good way of telling if this is the real nintendo or not, but it's still a problem none the less.

  @TheOnePhun211 @NintendoCanada You'd think a large company could patch out miniscule problems when they find them

  I feel like there’s a clear disconnect with what the fans want Paper Mario to be and what Nintendo wants it to be. Nintendo wants to make neat mario games that really embraces the whole craftwork aesthetic. The fans basically want more Mario RPG sequels pretty much.

  @THEKIDMERO @NintendoAmerica If they are drifting nintendo will fix them for free. Other than that they will make you pay

  @Stabbo8 @Sgt__Pupper @NintendoAmerica If you are letting a 15+ years old game waste your time because "i want tournaments😭" then you got issues bro

  starting to think that the real reason behind a chunk of nintendo’s issues lately aren’t becuase of the coporate side as a whole, but becuase of NoA’s lawyers. Don’t get me wrong there’s still some idiotic stuff from them lately but it’s mainly the C&Ds and ****.

  My apologies for the broken link. Just click the first link in the article wikipedia links or just google "Lewis Galoob Toys Inc vs Nintendo" for the intended article.

  @Sh4miya @DamoskFGC They will learn the wrong lesson. The issue isnt the scalpers. Nintendo, MS and even Intel, AMD and Nvidia among other tech mfrs have all launched products in this pandemic and gotten stock to their customers. Sony is the only ones who flub launches. Happened with PSP, PS3 and 4.

  @hob0rg @JudePasternak I have a 4-port mayflash and that fixed the issue for me, not sure about the Nintendo adapter

  Boom so basically I am now playing Minecraft for the Nintendo Switch and there is a glitch where it says your epic...is they're a way to fix this?...

  @drewdoesthings Ah, well are you sure the part to fix the issue is $100? Or is that just what Nintendo's charging for repair?

  @ShedworksGreg Go through nintendo support to get an rma and send them in to fix. Mine came back within a week. Free mail and fix.

  @NintendoAmerica Fix your community. Your company is an absolute mess, you money-hungry *******. #FreeMelee #SaveSmash

  @KitschWaffles Yeah lag and lower framerate is pretty common in two player mode among the Nintendo Warriors’ games. It has to do with the Switch’s rather poor optimization. There’s only so much Koei Techmo can do with the lack of good hardware provided to them by Nintendo

  @SkullKid344 @NintendoAmerica basically nintendo has a culture problem and that very possibly will not leave behind until 20 more years pass 2/2

  @NintendoAmerica Im canceling my online service, it's utter garbage. Its asinine to charge users to use thier own home internet when your company refuses to do anything to improve the experience. I cannot continue to support such an anti-consumer company #SaveSmash

  @Aaronitmar This isn't nintendo doing this and is just some random guy but the fact that youtube allows this to happen is baffling. A few weeks ago someone reuploaded the minecraft theme & claimed a video of mine and other people's aswell, the whole youtube copyright system is broken.

  @CaseMonster88 Even though movies are all going that streaming route as well they're still better curated. Switch has been out for how long and we still don't have a decent retro library? Nintendo could make a killing just selling a box for a Netflix style service of their old content alone.

  Apparently it’s weird to tell a stranger that you had to return “Th Fractured But Whole” because it’s not working. @Ubisoft @SouthPark What, it’s just a video game? Ohh, and it is still not working... @NintendoAmerica #notworking #Nintendo #ubisoft

  Seeing people play the legend of Zelda relics of the past makes me wanna have a modded switch but the only problem is worrying is about getting banned from Nintendo servers and I don't even back my consoles. This is why I wish I had a switch light with a fake email to use. 😬

  @starocean17 I think it honestly depends on the issue. Like with the recent Melee stuff. I think Nintendo was in the right to do what they did and personally I don’t see the need to ever pirate or hack anything, but I get why people do it.

  @NintendoUK @NintendoAmerica @NintendoEurope you bunch of thevies, you reward brand loyalty of almost 30 years with sub trapping someone, thats not even used the service in the last 7 months. ***** SCUMMY AND DISGUSTING, least I have a reason to hack my switch now.

  @NintendoAmerica I like what they're doing here, but I don't like what Nintendo is doing. Seriously. Give us a direct. Emulating games you don't sell isn't an issue. Stop having limited releases, they benefit no one. And Slippi is legal as long as it's with a legal rom of the game.

  Scurvypiratehog (@scurvypiratehog) reported 56 minutes ago

  @SparksEchidna The Problem with the whole "Limited" thing is that all the people who wanted to buy it have already bought it in order to not be too late to buy it. Its almost like that marketing bit Nintendo In their butts. "Mama-Mia!" LOL!

  @rixor14 that's what nintendo charges. it's a flat rate for every issue, even without warranty.
