  • CrabbyHi Crabby (@CrabbyHi) reported

    My only worry with strikers is how long can you play it before it gets repetitive. My issue with sports games is I find them repetitive after a few hours so I like them as mini games. But, Nintendo made me like strikers and sluggers when I was a kid, maybe they can do it again.

    @CanOfWD40 I’m not defending the jail time that’s more so an American issue rather than a Nintendo issue the sentencing times for small petty crimes are too high and the one for **** and example are too short and or light I’m just saying Nintendo had the right to take action against it

  • Trashpanda74 Trashpanda  (@Trashpanda74) reported

    @vegavelazquezd1 What? Where can I access Nintendo music on a streaming service? Not a single one I know

  • princessdarwin1 MeeMeeCandy777 (@princessdarwin1) reported

    @matrixpichu @NintendoAmerica I literally thought this link was a Rick roll before I clicked your reply. Now it's not. I didn't even know this glitch existed!

  • tankieMUNIZ Twunk Truther Tankie (@tankieMUNIZ) reported

    Not sure why @NintendoAmerica wouldn't just release them as a local version as this technology is clearly not ready for showtime. Very disappointing. Please fix.

  • michelecatani2 michele catani (@michelecatani2) reported

    @IDoGamesFL The thing that is really incredible, is that Nintendo is more open minded now than Sony was in the past! What a change! I don't approve censorship, there's the rating, no need of censor anything. The problem is elsewhere, I think, rather than the fiction, in real world!

  • beegdonkey Ben Jerkin (@beegdonkey) reported

    @RomeGoLARGE 4 full generations of fun at your finger tips, what’s the problem? Oh wait I forgot for some reason people are so against playing games that are older than like 3 years. That’s why PlayStation fails, just ps4 and ps5 games, so boring. Nintendo was also a lot better with old games

  • I_DO_JUEGOS 🇵🇷 YERBO-MALO 🇵🇷 (@I_DO_JUEGOS) reported

    @Eatpeara Because the vast majority of people that gonna enjoy Microsoft games are the PS Gamers And because the Xbox fanboys have no issues with PC or Nintendo gamers playing Microsoft games, so why is different with PlayStation when all the platforms have fanboys as well?

  • The_CrapGamer THE CrapGamer (@The_CrapGamer) reported

    @OminousWytch Don't think they need to fix what's not broken. Would actually love to see Nintendo implement a system like Achievements.

  • D14V0R05 Diavoros (@D14V0R05) reported

    @FerrarisAlec @GameSpot The problem is that nintendo online sucks as well. Either way, be it playing on the console or with cloud on switch, I don't think it is a good idea to play FPS games at 30 fps...

  • grr_h Edgar herrera (@grr_h) reported

    @NintendoAmerica Is it still broken?

  • JBeaudin10 JBeaudin (@JBeaudin10) reported

    @RockstarSupport Hello. I play on a Nintendo Switch and I am experiencing issues with Grand Theft Auto San Andreas, The Trilogy. I click "resume" on the menu. It loads for 5-7 seconds then it quits, stating an error "the software was closed because an error occurred" I need help.

  • mysterylotus Lotus (@mysterylotus) reported

    @ryansview @NintendoCanada They didn’t fix it?

  • princessdarwin1 MeeMeeCandy777 (@princessdarwin1) reported

    @MewtwoDiva @NintendoAmerica Reason why is licensing issues. It's a common problem today. MJ songs couldn't get renewed and he doesn't want his song in the game to begin with. Even most songs in Everybody Hates Chris is replaced. Hell, they even removed a scene from Everybody Hates Christmas because of it.

    @NintendoAmerica Does anyone know if they already fixed all the issues in the Switch version? #GTATrilogy

  • h_timbers HTimbers (@h_timbers) reported

    @Slippies4 I don't have a problem with new characters. But I think characters from other Nintendo games are too unnecessary.

  • Gmr_Leon Gmr Leon (@Gmr_Leon) reported

    @MaxKriegerVG yeah, on one hand **** Nintendo but also, there are less scummy ways to give Nintendo flak, like sharing the games they have the gall to rent out to you as a "bonus" to their online service

  • Strider21X Strider21XX (@Strider21X) reported

    @NintendoAmerica No thanks. I don't buy broken games that the publisher already confirmed no desire to take further efforts towards fixing.

  • ryansview Ryan Duncan (@ryansview) reported

    @NintendoCanada It’s a glitchy mess that continues to crash.

  • TDemiroOmni TDemiroOmni🏳‍🌈 (@TDemiroOmni) reported

    @NintendoAmerica But is it still bad? or did Rock Star fix it?

  • JO_mR20 JOmR20 (@JO_mR20) reported

    @jskendrix @NintendoAmerica At this point it's just for me to experiment on how to crash the game

  • taranfight Sea Lantern the 2nd #SaveRedDeadOnline (@taranfight) reported

    @NintendoAmerica How about ******* no until they ******* fix those godsamn bugs

  • tennozu_ Tennozu (@tennozu_) reported

    @SamWils19061969 @Roy_Inverse @NintendoAmerica SE themselves said in an Interview, that the game can run on Switch, but theyve chose cloud due to "file size problems" ie they didnt bothered compressing 1.5+2.5 to fit on a card or make them seperate to buy

  • CanOfWD40 Accf #BLM (@CanOfWD40) reported

    @Eclipse200034 Stop defending the billion dollar company. This whole situation could have been handled 20x better as a whole instead of a dudes life being ruined for selling roms. American issue or not Nintendo 100% played a part in this as well and to excuse them is nasty.

  • AltairDuran FermiDatilo (@AltairDuran) reported

    @joy_of_nihilism @NintendoAmerica @SquareEnix Your error was renting the game

  • scottybones Scotty Bones (@scottybones) reported

    @BenMagnet27 Let's see how many games I played... NBA JAM SONIC 2 CRASH BANDICOOT .... And that's about it. I didn't game on Nintendo systems after the NES.
