  @TommySkywlker11 @KaminadoSyd @NintendoAmerica Oh I see, it was one of my posibilities but I decline on believing lies, sorry for that, still, I hate these jokes because it marks innocent people into a bad image, something that in the Internet can be... Quite the problem

  unpurchasable, so the only option is to pirate them. As you know, Nintendo will ******* murder you if you pirate one of their games, even though they're the ones who forced you to pirate it. And glitches, OHHHH glitches. Nintendo hates glitches. If it's a gamebreaking glitch that

  @wabbledeegoop @NintendoAmerica The problem is nftbros are exactly like this which makes it hard to discern a joke from reality in this day and age 😔

  @YokaiRiderVT I'm wondering how to convince nintendo people to make a storefront with UI mimicking a console. Because sega has a thing where you can play games like Golden Axe in a mimicked for the time period enviroment. I quite liked that little service.

  @TheGoldReaper57 @NintendoAmerica I mean I have my problems with Battle League but even I’m not going pretend FIFA is in any way better than it!

  @bandelby02 @TheUncleAlShow I think the issue is that if someone doesn't want to go out of their way to get them, they're going to be gone and cannot be acquired on any modern Nintendo Console in this generation. Which leads to piracy, which Nintendo hates, which is kinda shooting themselves in the foot

  @SimonJakobsson Me, 2010, Nintendo DS title: "Hey, I tried to reproduce your crash report for twenty minutes, no dice!" QA: "You didn't try hard enough." Me: "I pushed all the buttons! Fiercely!" QA: *grabs device, pushes buttons for three seconds, device locks up* "Here you go." Me: "uh..."

  money-making schemes like NFTs, live-service garbage, etc., while #Nintendo, Japanese to their core, are out here succeeding like never before with literally the weakest hardware on the market and nothing but fun gamey-*** video games. And that's not to knock the #Switch hardware

  Now i wish that Nintendo fixed a very rare but fetal bug in wich a hammerbrother on the map screen could walk in a loop litterly forever,wich all depends on certain situations in the game,even the snes version has this issue(smahe),not sure about the gba version trough,but still,

  want to have simple fun. Sometimes the "old way" is still a viable way. Meanwhile the competition is spending billions of dollars on acquiring studios and pushing live service garbage, Nintendo with their own first party games and tiny console is doing crazy numbers. 7/7

  @NintendoAmerica I got a bit of a problem. I had a user transferred from another switch with a mii. I lost the old switch and now I can't change the user pfp at all so I can't use these even if I wanted too! what do I do??????

  @TeamYouTube Yes i tried that, but the problem is that i don't own the copyright but the one claiming it doesn't either. I know for a fact that Nintendo owns it, and let us use it but now i can't because of him

  @VelenZiga @YokaiRiderVT True but if the demand isn't worth the price then it will shut down. Servers don't last forever and cost money. This isn't the first system to do it and it won't be the last either. It ain't a Nintendo problem, this is a digital problem.

  @kelsie_whitaker Did you know that the elf’s name isn’t zelda, it’s link? Yeah it was actually a translation error. When nintendo made the first link game, they used the chinese name which is Zelda. I’d love to tell you more about it sometime

  @Crusader3456 @huhwhatBB @Romudeth Like nintendo hasn't been doing that for many remasters for 60 it's never been a problem. They added HD only called it a remaster and charged 60, sure the community was outraged but these twitter influencers and media barley spoke up

  @MarriottBonvoy @sheratonhotels I can’t get my Nintendo Switch OLED to the network here in San Diego. I click on the network it does its thing and then says no access. Doesn’t allow me to sign in with my guest password and such. Any ideas why? #MLBTheShow22 #SDCC2022

  @NabbitFan730 @YokaiRiderVT Let me spell this out for you. There is always demand for these games. Just because Nintendo or other companies don't see a profit in it doesn't mean the demand doesn't exist. The refusal to make those games available is exactly why piracy exists. Its. A. Service. Problem.

  @NintendoAmerica Nice to see Daisy back! Although I prefer Strikers Charged, this game looks fun overall. I just wish that the game launched with ALL of its content at the beginning! That would fix my problems with the game.

  @VelenZiga @NabbitFan730 @YokaiRiderVT Its an entitlement problem. “Just because Nintendo…don’t see a profit…” yes, that is the only thing that matters. They own the product. If making it commercially available loses them money, they have no reason to do it. You aren’t owed anything that belongs to someone else
