@Zeurel Several of my pictures,+other artists, were taken down based on a fake email claiming to be Nintendo. More pictures taken down after yeas being up. With no explanation. NG doesn't need a broken claim system. Tom does it him self.

@sidofthedead1 @OGG1993 Nobody is saying games shouldn’t be offering good Demos so people can try them out before buying. But you don’t need to put them in a subscription service to achieve that. Even Nintendo, far from the most consumer friendly company, offers pretty great demos.

Wow... forty-seven times I had to press the left shoulder button on my Nintendo Switch. I really hope Nintendo fixed this issue for the OLED version.

@Foxy_Prower @NintendoAmerica I had this issue recently with the Metroid Poster (same error). After many hours of troubleshooting, I figured out that it was when I tried to purchase the poster. So I called Nintendo Support, spoke to a supervisor and they placed the order for me. I'd say give that a try.

@redwidow1358 @Mendinso yeah and i dont think nintendo is one to risk such a thing over something that already sold mountain loads during its sale period. they may make a lot of awful decisions but i hardly ever hear about them putting themselves into trouble often.

@Windscars The thing is will nintendo allow this? This is simular to the dns glitch back then which I think Nintendo didn't do anything cause they never updated ds games, but the system was a different story. This dns only worked in modded ds or 3ds. I think as long it's in the right ball.

@Zingus5 So correct me if I'm wrong, but silksong isn't a Nintendo release. Why would they even expect anything? They're literally just looking to ***** and cause problems. If TC needs time, then let them have time. I don't want a rushed game when I know what they can put out.

@chaosinthesky13 yeah it was kind of a concurrent issue that I have with Game Freak as a whole, just compounded by Nintendo's reluctance to make something stronger than a smartphone

It's honestly strange that Fortnite is the only Switch game you can play online without paying for Nintendo's online service. Not that I'm complaining, though 👀.

@FortniteStatus I am having trouble with Fortnite on Nintendo Switch.. it’s not letting do anything inside Fortnite. I am able to play all my other games but for some reason it’s not letting me do anything inside Fortnite…

@mikekarnj @Nike @NintendoAmerica I’m sincerely confused how you don’t need to license the rights to create these NFT’s. Ownership of a physical cartridge or trading card offers no rights to any of the IP it is made of. Selling the cartridge isn’t a problem. Creating a new unlicensed item using the IP is.

If we were talking about this in 2011 yeah it would be distasteful, just like how if Nintendo released a Joycon drift poster today it would be distasteful, so what’s the issue here

@NintendoAmerica Store page gives me processing error with every purchase option I use. Sort of just spent some plat points on this, so I'd kind of like to actually get it.

@electricitywave @elgato @ElgatoSupport It’s been this way for me ever since I had my PS4 which was connected YEARS ago. I got rid of it a while ago and just have it plugged into my Nintendo Switch and it’s always had the issue. I don’t do just dance streams because the music doesn’t align with the movements lol

@Postmates @KrisJenner All i wish for this Christmas season is that i could get a new Nintendo switch lite for my son. His has a broken LED screen due to being dropped. He is such a good kid, very sensitive and is a pleasure to all that have met him. That is what would be #BetterThanSanta @Postmates

@mikekarnj @Nike @NintendoAmerica I think my interpretation of trademark/copyright law would be less troubled in this case if the NFT wasn’t an exact visual copy of the cartridge, which is IP. If the NFT was of a certificate of ownership, there’s obviously no issue.

@TwitchSupport You need to fix this. Like this is an event that your company is promoting and is a cornerstone of marketing for streamers and reinforces watching streamers for viewers. Can't you make a website like nintendo for those that missed out?

@RetroBoyJon I don’t think there is a problem being fans of companies, the problem is when it becomes toxic. I’m a huge fan of Nintendo, always will be, but I agree with you, I just like playing games. I’ve owned every system at some point, but Nintendo will always be dear to my heart.

@Yeenie_Mcbeenie Yeah from what I gather Nintendo is one of the few companies that actually doesn’t abuse it’s employees half to death. Sure crunch is still an issue but especially by Japanese standards their employees are treated relatively well
