  • king1091 Cyan Hyde (@king1091) reported

    @NintendoAmerica So we’re just ok releasing another subpar port with issues??? The game breaking underwater glitch wasn’t caught by anyone testing the emulation? Once again, what ******** are we paying for?

  • eeggrollss aeson || still in my flop era 😔 (@eeggrollss) reported

    @NagisaOFurukawa My Nintendo controllers are broken so i haven't touched it 😭

  • Xvault2 Xvault Gaming (@Xvault2) reported

    @Valorian10 @Innthacut My dude....again, excuses. I get what you are saying, but Sony and Nintendo are making it work. They have had time. Time to plan and time to fix things.

  • LordTRex5 LordTRex (@LordTRex5) reported

    @kong_colby this person just save everyone in Mario Kart 8 Deluxe, he contacted with Nintendo about the issues with people who actually: Impersonating someone or a streamer. And Nintendo will fix the problem. cna we have respect to this mad kong

  • JaybillsGames Jaybills Games🐻⬇️ (@JaybillsGames) reported

    @BeastorizerX7 I'm in the same boat as you honestly, I'm not really the Nintendo guy. I'll play Mario here and there, but I've always stuck with Crash Bandicoot or Spyro in terms of platformers. The most I'll play/go back to is Kirby.

  • hanakomisa Misa (@hanakomisa) reported

    @kotchama I believe WoA not working well on any other arm processors than Qualcomm's is because MS and QC made a deal a while ago that is probably set to expire soon, there was an attempt to run Windows on the Nintendo Switch by imbushio but they gave up due to the memory issues mentioned

  • AndrewBReel Andrew B (@AndrewBReel) reported

    @FreshGalaxy Their subscription service int game pass but its not terrible. They still have more internationally palatable 1st parties. Specs wise there isn't much difference. What we should praise is xbox is finally keeping pace after arriving so late vs PS/Nintendo

  • Pottletje Pottle (@Pottletje) reported

    @creeper19221 @sOLerSystems @GoNintendoTweet it is good, besides the annoying lag that occurs far too often, hence why Nintendo needs to improve their overall online quality. 4 players and it lags? that should not be a frequent occurance.. but being able to play through fan-made levels with 3 other strangers is tons of fun

  • WatcherJoshua Joshua @ZeldaUniverse (@WatcherJoshua) reported

    @Dylnamic Nintendo could and should still do better, but N64 has always been difficult to develop for. At the very least, they fix the problems as they show up.

  • PlantedWave5190 Jacob Henson 🎂 in 24 DAYS!! (@PlantedWave5190) reported

    @RedDasherCAS What I'm hoping for is Nintendo Switch Online to be more improved and upgraded with the Game Boy family of systems coming to the service. I'm expecting that GB and GBC titles should be part of standard NSO, while GBA games being part of NSO+EP.

  • ThornIrisRibbon 🍄🌿🌸✨Springtime's Finally Here!!!!✨🌸🌿🍄 (@ThornIrisRibbon) reported

    @FM54321 Hey @NintendoAmerica, can you please fix this glitch?

  • RandallLCook1 RL Nook🦝 (@RandallLCook1) reported

    @XboxP3 unsubbing from Gamepass until you guys start keeping your word. Where are all the day one releases? All the games every three months? It's not just Xbox. PlayStation is lagging to. The only ones releasing games constantly are Nintendo so the Switch is the go to. Not going

  • KibblesTheHusky Kibbles the Husky 🔜 BLFC (@KibblesTheHusky) reported

    PS2 is where it is because I never played many games on it compared to everything else. I probably should have ranked the Nintendo Switch lower due to the joycon drift issues, but for the game library alone I'm pretty happy with where it is atm.

  • Gilbertbelieve2 Giants Called Me, ALOY! (@Gilbertbelieve2) reported

    @AcryllicAltair @Oti09280470 We don’t talk about “eventually” on PS and Nintendo, and that’s the problem. When “Eventually” finally arrives on Xbox, it always under delivers.

  • jaybirdie11 Jaybirdie (@jaybirdie11) reported

    @zachhazard I've never used either service, can you be more specific about what these screenshots show? I see a menu list with a lot of services, what does clicking one do? It's just weird because Nintendo Switch appears there along with OnlyFans and OneDrive.

  • SnowfoxReborn 🌞Stephen🌚 (@SnowfoxReborn) reported

    Broke my switch left shoulder button, its in half. Will the joycon repair service be able to repair/replace it???? @nintendo #switch @NintendoAmerica #joycon #helpme

  • Reaver_Da_Snack Reaver (@Reaver_Da_Snack) reported

    Found my old 2ds clamshell that I thought was broken, tried it for the first time in a while...and now it FREAKING WORKS ;-; #happy #happynoises #nintendo

  • jimmythe_tv JimmytheTVFanatic (@jimmythe_tv) reported

    As a kid, I always wondered why the end credits there was a certain bullet creature I didn’t recognize. In the mid to late 90s before I had an N64, searching for walkthroughs online were hard to come by. Unless you had an issue of Nintendo Power magazine to find the secret exits.

  • Mario100yt Mario100 (@Mario100yt) reported

    After researching a bit it appears to be a glitch that happened alot when emulating and Nintendo mostly patched it but missed something with the water physics

  • FracturedDivide Fractured Fissure 🇺🇦 (@FracturedDivide) reported

    @krikzz I have a Nintendo Campus Challenge rom that gives me an Unsupported Mapper error. Unfortunately, I don't know what mapper it is calling for, but I can confirm that it works on the Jailbreak NES core on the NT Mini Noir. Can send the rom in question if you want to take a look.

  • aeziroth93 Aeziroth93 (@aeziroth93) reported

    @Bixby201 @vyasrushi3 @Chris_Dring And why does a bot care about sales? You tout gamepass, a service literally made and promoted by Xbox because their first party games couldn’t sell as well as Nintendo or Sony games lmao.

  • DecryptoRhino Rhino🦏 (@DecryptoRhino) reported

    Got my son nintendo switch for bday and im on it more than him. On a crash bandicoot binge

  • liquidmitro1 add me in roblox:Cloudzy23 (@liquidmitro1) reported

    Do you guys know how to fix when you close a app from your nintendo it sas error has occurred. HELP I CANT PLAY ROCKET LEAGUE

  • lawfulevil_lion lawfulevil_lion (@lawfulevil_lion) reported

    Yo can we all kinda like not buy anything from @Nintendo until they fix their online? Can't choose game types, netcode issues, no competitive support #nintendoistrash

  • theguynow20 mrsnow (@theguynow20) reported

    @_love_meri_ Joycon drift sucks but if you ever have that problem Nintendo will fix them for free all you got to do is mail it in

  • 7761l (@7761l) reported

  • pokemoss_ momoss (@pokemoss_) reported

    @WWEgirl35 @CrisAlexis95 @ElChicoEevee It works if you restart your Nintendo Switch or change the wifi connection but the error appears again after sometime. This update is so bugged 🙄🙄

  • Faunri 𝕵𝖆𝖓𝖊 (@Faunri) reported

    Omg my switch’s right joystick is not working when connected or not to the console, and now the console keeps overheating and shutting down within ten minutes of having it on! It’s such an unusable console wtf nintendo lmao.

  • Nikrc Nik (@Nikrc) reported

    @thefigprince My experience with Nintendo service has been great. I think it’s worth it. Worst case they can’t fix it and you have to go to option 2 of 3 after
