    @SmallRobotArmy @uint8_t Ahhh it all makes sense now. May I suggest you get the pdfs of the Nintendo Power magazines and work through the games in there? Perhaps even just allow yourself one issue a week, and that way every week new games come out and you have new ones to look forward to.

    @NintendoAmerica Fix your online

    @TheNCSmaster PS2 and PS1 were both top-of-the-line. The low testosterone problem is a Nintendo problem.

  • thatjonguy Jon (@thatjonguy) reported

    @NintendoAmerica Error: Response not successful: Received status code 400 I would like to give you money for your products directly. But you keep telling me that I cannot.

  • miutskies zzz™️ (@miutskies) reported

    You don't even know how hard it was to play on a nintendo DS with a broken mic I was crying every time I played nintendogs

  • StephCube Stephanie (commissions are open!) (@StephCube) reported

    @NintendoAmerica When will the online service be available for Central America? 😮‍💨

  • NapoleonB0ner NapoleonB0nerfart (@NapoleonB0ner) reported

    @NintendoAmerica Can't wait for it to be buggy as **** and have even worse input lag than the Wii U VC version!

  • corvus_exe 🎩 Corvus (@corvus_exe) reported

    @Thatonenicostan People are mad at this? Tell me you never had a Wii without telling me. Hell, any Nintendo system or system in general from around that time. Those kinds of warnings were everywhere. Still kinda are. So many "if you have problems, immediately stop playing and go get help".

  • LordAtrexia Ryan, The Tarnished. (@LordAtrexia) reported

    @Neoxon619 @BombosMedallion I think across the board it’s definitely an issue, I’ve seen so many bad takes about both - but you’re definitely right, there does seem to be a shift & hopefully Nintendo will start to pay attention 🤞

  • octopus_50 Octopus Energy £50 each Credit Referral (@octopus_50) reported

    @Cex Hi, I have a Nintendo DS cart or Pokémon Pearl and Pokemon Diamond both without cases, working with no issues but son doesn't like them, are these.something you buy please?

  • Anpumon Anubismon (@Anpumon) reported

    @TorlionDragon @ShiroSirius No cause unlike Yahtzee am willing to admit Arin Hanson errors and actually play more than 30 minutes of a game (or 5 if it's Nintendo) before declaring it "****".

  • gluttony_escape 🖥️::Gluttony 📲👺🪞 (@gluttony_escape) reported

    @InsomniaAhypnia @ChrisSensei615 I would uninstall Twitter and Reinstall or alternatively try logging in on a PC or iPad or your Nintendo Switch or something to see if the problem replicates.

  • Rocket04_R4 Rocket04 (@Rocket04_R4) reported

    @NintendoAmerica Yeah okay, but this service will suck when the 3DS and Wii U eShops close. Legit, you are saying u hate money by doing that.

  • Flaming_Gaming_ Flaming (@Flaming_Gaming_) reported

    imagine nintendo couldn't fix their ranked so sendou had to make one common nintendo L sendou HUGE W

  • AwesomeBotMC1 Egg Sander (@AwesomeBotMC1) reported

    @NintendoAmerica Can we use our My Nintendo points to fix the garbage online that we paid for?

  • jubejubesss jules (@jubejubesss) reported

    Nintendo switch is such a terrible System I can’t believe how much the controllers lag

  • certifiedtrash9 CΞЯTIFIΞD TЯΛSH (@certifiedtrash9) reported

    @DawnXVI @NebulaPixel @NintendoAmerica But... vurtual console was also roms, the only difference was that they where bought separately and not tied to some ****** subscription service

  • vekenega lord general zad (@vekenega) reported

    time to see how nintendo customer service works

    @ancr_cotswold @Nintendo the broken umbrella is already in nh

  • Roto13 Roto13 (@Roto13) reported

    @NintendoCanada Cool, now if only you guys would fix it so I can actually sign in, maybe I'd be able to buy something.

  • AnonymousShade_ 💙 Anonymous Shade 💙 (@AnonymousShade_) reported

    Girl Problem ******* BOOBIES guys be like "heheh boobiez" all the time but NO they're annoying! I can't sit like this and play on my Nintendo switch or PS4 and it KILLS my back. **** Boobies. ...well, I guess to most guys that's the point.

  • markyates94 Mark Yates (@markyates94) reported

    I really wish Nintendo would release they're game soundtracks, or at least have them on a streaming service

  • AkihaFuji Carby Enjoyer🚗 (@AkihaFuji) reported

    @Karma_Kannon yep!! if you do just be careful about the LED ribbon cable, i've broken that at least 2 or 3 times now because of the way nintendo had it bent to fit inside the case

  • iv0_hr iv0_hr (@iv0_hr) reported

    @HiatusxHiatusss Nintendo 3DS wifi assistant gonna disconnect thier heads from their sholuders cause that ****** be living 14 packet losses ahead

  • MGSolidusSnake MGSolidus (@MGSolidusSnake) reported

    @HellixBastard @keneedsomeamogu @Nibellion Well that rating isn’t really reliable. The game only has 22 reviews which all give it a 100. That’s the issue with Metacritic. Games now get reviewed by way more people than that. Besides, the industry has a bias towards Nintendo anyway

  • iceboygobrr zhongli’s dhongli (@iceboygobrr) reported

    I sent my switch off to Nintendo to get the screen fixed (it’s gotten cracked since 2018) since it’s insured, but instead they said there was “no problem with the screen” but messed with my controllers - one of which was brand new and had been used a grand total of TWO times.

  • zmeister100 Zmeister100 #AutisticPeopleMatter (@zmeister100) reported

    @FrankBadu8 It is more so that people don't consider the consequences of them getting what they ask for. Plenty of people wanted a subscription-based service and for Nintendo to stop supporting the 3DS AND Wii U (1/2).

  • vita_quest Simon Stevens (@vita_quest) reported

    @thicc_stick_boi Victim blaming again, sad to see, reminds me of the joycon boys before Nintendo finally admitted they'd been sweeping the drift issue under the rug, people just didn't take care of their stuff apparently. 🙄

  • SuperSquidoodle Donna (@SuperSquidoodle) reported

    @Pretzemilia @NintendoAmerica Digital storefronts are always going to close, it's just inevitable. They were up for 10 years, which is honestly a very long time for an online server. My main issue is Nintendo's refusal to make legacy content available on current storefronts, leaving piracy as the only option
