@NintendoAmerica you need to get rid of this service. No one likes it, and I don’t want to deal with it whenever I just want to use online features

@Caden_J_Woods @eIixirsoup @Nintendeal Have you even seen the Nintendo Switch commercials? They were even using laptops for chatting. Yeah, sure the fans want the online to work as it should but it’s been years. Nintendo are not fixing the problems. The online still trash. Switches can’t do everything.

@Hamada_520 Same. Anything GCN onward is going to create logistical issues due to hardware and control differences. It’s why Nintendo has been remastering or remaking Wii games on Switch.

@AboutNintendo Most of these games were also not originally available on the most profitable and only fully portable console of the last, like, 20 years. Why would anyone be upset about this? I'm basically a Nintendo-only gamer and I have 0 problems with the library. Also the indie selection 🔥

@Deaflanz1986 @McTroid Earlier today Epic revealed that they were in talks with Nintendo to bring Samus to Fortnite, and Nintendo was on board, but things didn’t work out. There’s a skin that’s a pirate with a hook hand, and they made that work, so the arm cannon won’t be an issue.

@lilal75775 Call Nintendo for help. They usually are very helpful when I had an issue.

Again I agree that they are charging way too much for these ports but I don't think the fact that Nintendo is porting games in itself is a problem,I would also like to have new games but I understand that game develoment takes time and we must be patient. (Follow's the thread)

@MangoMonch After looking up the box art I actually remembered this game! I'm pretty sure I have an issue of Nintendo Power that did a spotlight on this game! Sadly this was back when I only got 1 new game every other month (if I was lucky) but yeah I definitely recognized it

One of these days I’m just going to crash and get a good night sleep but right now I’m so excited to get the Nintendo switch that I’m falling asleep around 11:30pm and waking up around 6am and checking to see where my Nintendo switch is at

First, the problem of the ports: I agree that they are overcharging for what is essentially 7-10 year old games, but the problem is that he acts like Nintendo's porting games is a problem,because he already played those games and he wants new games. (Follow's the thread)

Say about Nintendo what you want, they do have a lot to catch up on in a lot of aspects. But, compared to other AAA publishers/devs (especially atm), I've never had a game by them that was bugged and broken on release. Everything always worked flawless.

@johnnyjl96 @verge Yeah, just looking at all the hacking problems crossplay has caused for Nintendo and Microsoft. The hilarious bit is Sony doesn't even offer hacking as a defense of their stance. It's just money, but their fans still spin fantasies to defend them.

@crufio812 @Ro7_ELBlancos @XcloudTimdog Nintendo is going to have trouble competing with Xbox now. I think by 2024, Xbox will be the big dog of the three, and then PlayStation and Nintendo will be competing. PlayStation is gonna lose this generation, exclusive wise in the long run.

@TheUncleAlShow I'd love a thread on @NintendoAmerica's shop and the console itself. Talk about the lag and all the phone games coming to the console.

No, it should be nobody. I don't know why you keep suggesting stupid picks that are obviously not getting in. Save it for your dreams. You really think Nintendo cares? At all? You honestly believe Nintendo would deliver on your request? That's what I thought. Stick with Crash.
