Ryan | 🇬🇧 🇳🇱 🇪🇺| ❤️🇺🇦 | 🖕🇷🇺 (@radicalbyte) reportedChina put DRM in Solar panels... the way to attack this is a blanket ban on any kind of remote-activated DRM. Not just China, but Nintendo, John Deere, all sorts of companies do this. It needs to stop as it's a national security issue.

Xanek ザンネク (@AznXanek) reported@CONEY Idk i spent 3 hours just roaming the open world and found quite a bit of random stuff, I dont think its particularly a problem with this game. (Other Nintendo open worlds tho...) Music is the best part of the game tho by far.
-
Wing (@LoperWing) reportedwait I just realized this means Nintendo *lied* in their compatibility data. Pikmin 3 was not in any of the lists of problematic games, meaning Nintendo was insinuating the game worked perfectly. Yet here the game is completely not working.
-
Cloudy (@CloudyBRM) reported@SonOfATech Nintendo I could forgive cause it’s game code on media(cartridge). Sony is building up a game library for their Plus “Games as a service” subscription. Steam is just putting games on the digital shelf at MSRP, but I expect some service to come out of them too.
-
Tobi Adeyinka (@AdeyinkaRotimi1) reported@Chris_Dring I fully expect them to launch a streaming only service or subscription for TVs and stuff in the future if adoption starts gaining traction. But they will do everything to ensure that 30% is still very lucrative on their own platform and not give it others. Nintendo will be well..

Crumbd (@TheCrumbd) reportedThe new Joy-Con controllers for the Nintendo Switch 2 use magnetic attachments for a more secure fit, addressing previous flimsy rail issues. However, strong magnets may cause quick snapping, potentially pinching fingers. #Switch2 #NintendoSwitch2
-
Impreza_939 (@Impreza_Star) reported@Xamoel @sonic_hedgehog If it happens, I hope Crash and Spyro come out on other platforms, and what about PlayStation and Nintendo characters?
-
B (@BasedRedhead) reportedIt’s the exact same console, same components… even the same broken controllers that drift. Stick to the switch 1 and give it like 5 years until nintendo actually innovates and makes an original console again.
-
Amy Schumer's Sarlacc Pit (@LuridLogic) reported@NintendoAmerica Well now that money isnt an issue for me I was going to buy one today, but ofcourse everything is out of stock because its too hard to learn that happens every time. So I'm buying a steam deck instead and only emulating nintendo games from this point forward. This is stupid.
-
Sorth Gaming (@SorthG) reported@Silberkatze87X @GenePark It bares the branding. This is the problem. Xbox button alone is cause for problems. I want to see this happen, I really do. But as long as they keep the branding. It's an issue. Sony is fickle. Like Nintendo.
-
Galactidot (@galactidot) reported@Don_keyedjote @OswinOswald223 @Nintendo - error in the discussion. And what are you feeling sorry for me for? I just saw your initial reply to Nintendo and found it humorous for it's error --- and here we are!
-
Daniel (@DanielJoonge17) reported@sthetixofficial Updated to the newest Version with no problems. Before updating I tried to launch OFW which failed (I never use it), then launched Semi-Stock and updated online through Nintendo Servers. Got the new HATS-Pack, SYSmmc was already on newest Version, only had to update Emummc Thanks
-
ITZ J1MB0 (@ITZJ1MB0) reported@hangryhiggs I have a problem with $80 games because it is pricing out people that want to own games and experience then. Sure there are sales and price drops but its just greed for the sake of it. Like 4 Nintendo games puts you down £240 pound like WHAT.
-
Colin Von Kolin (@grimes314) reported@RealLifeFakeWiz If yall can skip fomo these games will be $20 in a year. But Nintendo? Yeah Mario karts gonna be $80 come 2030. Nintendo is the problem here and any other answer is wrong.
-
GT | Bees? 🆖 (@Bees_ssbu) reportedBeen having a lot of wifi issues with the Switch 2 as of recent. Can't explain why, hopefully Nintendo puts in a system update that fixes it.
-
Kira Yamato (@Rising__Freedom) reported@APXMK Nintendo needs to add cooldowns to the jump thing. Shows how broken it is
-
Spouik (@Spouik_) reported@ABitofEpicness @NintendoAmerica It's probably an issue with the compatibility layer like the squid roll glitch in Splatoon 3, there are always issues like this with this kind of backward compat systems I'm pretty sure they'll patch it soon
-
Hayley (@LayzierHayley) reported@PiperistheNewbl It's not a waste. What he's doing is a public service and really Nintendo should do this themselves.
-
Vivi 🦭 (@SealYamamura) reported@PiperistheNewbl Nintendo apparently pays him to do this but that brings up the bigger issue of companies wasting the tech they made with slave labour
-
May★girl (@mayc_zelda) reported@FortniteStatus I can’t matchmake on any map including Battle Royale and Brick Life on Nintendo Switch I keep getting matchmaking error #2 @FortniteStatus I’ve already redownloaded the game and cleared cache still having issues.
-
Cmdr...Lewdog (@lewdog29478782) reported@NoContextCrap Finally someone said it............. **** is getting ridiculous And the worst part the nintendo fans will excuse all the issues......
-
🌙 (@zero_xof) reported@AngryJoeShow Or, don't support it at all. Game pass being "cheaper" is by design. Nintendo created the problem, MS replicates the problem and is selling the solution.
-
Pixel (@pixelluma) reported@NintendoAmerica Oh boy, I see trouble brewing!
-
Buhnug🏳️⚧️ (@buhnug) reportedProbably not a broken move but one time when one of my English teachers brought in her Nintendo switch to play games and we played ssbu I played as snake and just spammed his crouching Jab and somehow it was just able to beat them, the only counterplay they found was to play Ness
-
GregToms (@Itstommytime1) reported@panik1881 More *Microsoft* platforms LMAO That's the problem LMAO Thr agreement exists. They promised nintendo players
-
The Ninja Kitty (@NinjaKittyLife) reported@NintendoAmerica @NintendoCanada Is it normal for a Switch 2 to constantly have ' Software Was Closed Because An Error Occurred ' when loading games even after rebooting and redownloading the games?
-
ChiefBee (@johnditty321) reported@GameSpot Will cost $89.99 to sign in to your account through the Nintendo server

Games Awesome (@jabdsqksnb11857) reported4/ The Switch's Joy-Con Drift: Trust Issues? 🎮🔧 Nintendo faced criticism for the Joy-Con drift issue, as many players experienced problems shortly after purchase. This led to lawsuits and demands for better quality control. #NintendoSwitch #JoyConDrift

May★girl (@mayc_zelda) reported@FortniteStatus I can’t matchmake on any map including Battle Royale and Brick Life on Nintendo Switch I keep getting matchmaking error #2 @FortniteStatus I’ve already redownloaded the game and cleared cache still having issues.

Grok (@grok) reported@Nintendo The Legend of Zelda movie delay to May 7, 2027, is due to "production reasons," likely to ensure quality, as stated by Miyamoto. This is the first delay since the March 2027 date was set in 2025. No evidence supports prior delays, though the long development since 2023 may feel like multiple postponements. Fans are split—some are frustrated, others back the focus on quality. Details on specific production issues are unclear, so the exact cause remains speculative.
