  • DoesPichu Pichu Is Here (@DoesPichu) reported

    @realJin2811 @NintendoAmerica This makes me sound like a broken record, but if you don’t care then just ignore it.

  • Mario07527399 Mario (@Mario07527399) reported

    @MrVanisha @LemonadeGaming8 @NintendoAmerica Can you explain why its overpriced Cause I genuinely don't see the problem and all the reasons I've seen have boiled down to "GAME OLD THAT MEAN PRICE TOO HIGH" Which I've just passed off as people being cheap but I don't think thats the case

  • Diam_ond10 Made you look! (@Diam_ond10) reported

    @Elktown2 @MrEdBadger Neither is Intelligent Systems, or Game Freak, or Monolith Soft but people have no problem saying Fire Emblem, Pokemon, and Xenoblade are Nintendo franchises.

  • VillageWitch3 🔮VillageWitch🔮 (@VillageWitch3) reported

    My @NintendoAmerica #switch suddenly stopped working. It was fine yesterday. How do we fix this problem?

  • LemonadeGaming8 Citric Fruit (@LemonadeGaming8) reported

    @YoSoyDontcry @NintendoAmerica If you attack people for enjoying themselves, you are part of the problem.

  • QuantumSammy Quantum Sammy (@QuantumSammy) reported

    @Venom_Big_Boss @NintendoAmerica I can still enjoy the game without fast travel. And it's still worth full price to me. It's Zelda. I don't see a problem. If the amiibo makes you mad, don't buy it. If you feel the existence of this amiibo and its functionality makes the game unplayable now, I feel bad for you.

  • noahgould19 The Real Noah Gould (@noahgould19) reported

    @MarekLonchar @avrage_person @NintendoAmerica and improve the motion controls. the one flaw people had with the game. Meaning that there is now a legitimate reason to replay the game, because it fixed the issues.

  • GINTEGG Connor Boyd (@GINTEGG) reported

    @PlayerEssence I'm really unhappy with this truth. Nintendo can do whatever scummy bs they want and it will result in them printing money which means they have no reason to fix their online or add missing features to the console or address drifting joycons. I hate Nintendo rn.

  • Tomathius Tomathius #PlantGang #lumatwt (@Tomathius) reported

    Let's get this straight: $10 is an absurd price for a calculator. One you probably can't even use in schools. But what's the harm in it? Nobody's forcing you to buy it. It's not vital. Make with an ice flower and chill. It's the least of Nintendo's "greed problems" right now.

  • NebulaHurricane Cerulean Aruna (@NebulaHurricane) reported

    @Alby_The_Otaku they doo. the fact nintendo could easily fix this with cards. but they just refused to. im like WHY you made 600 animal crossing cards even new ones why not smash bros.

  • designrl_ the only (@designrl_) reported

    @IntroSpecktive Nintendo is a cesspool of problems

  • __Vickkk21 vick𓂀 (@__Vickkk21) reported

    smoking broken windows, playing my nintendo👾

  • Duality_System The Duality System (@Duality_System) reported

    @A__Lime @DynamoSuperX Yeah that's fair. But that's an issue of Nintendo being **** and not a character being in fortnite.

  • YoSoyDontcry Moises Zepeda (@YoSoyDontcry) reported

    @LemonadeGaming8 @NintendoAmerica If you support Nintendo selling old ports at full price, then you are part of the problem.

  • Mario07527399 Mario (@Mario07527399) reported

    @LemonadeGaming8 @MrVanisha @NintendoAmerica Yeah I guess thats true Still think people are just mad because they're cheap but it wouldn't be as big of a problem if it wasn't real so really don't know how to feel

  • lex1792 lex179 (@lex1792) reported

    @SaladWithABeard @BirkinWill @PiersHR Sony has their games do their marketing. MS markets a service to play old games U probably already played or never even cared about. Sony is a real gaming company striving to push gaming forward MS is in gaming to make money of the industry Sony & Nintendo made into billions.

  • dxreaper120 DG (@dxreaper120) reported

    @drilbit777 @Jaythawoz1 @NintendoAmerica Facts. They have no issue buying both copies of Pokemon and dlc for each but here they are mad about Zelda. Also I deleted my comment from before, had a spelling error and I can't go out like that lol

  • kingboozx3 King Casual (@kingboozx3) reported

    @blackwidow2234 @NintendoAmerica Scalpers aren't Nintendo's problem. Go to Best Buy or Target if you're that desperate

  • SammyCinnabun Sweet Cinnabun | BLM (@SammyCinnabun) reported

    @StinkingRavunk People begged Nintendo to give their amiibos an excuse to get used, what else would you really use them for other than QoL? Costumes are neat but they don't give me any incentive to use them and I just end up displaying them. I'm not trying to be a **** I just don't the problem.

  • meloncollie46 •FATE• (@meloncollie46) reported

    @crazyzombee @GameStop unforuntaly no. Nintendo said they would fix them for free if I send them in. Guess that'll have to do

  • SageofFire1 Sage of Fire (@SageofFire1) reported

    @AidenRS139 My problem isn't with Nintendo. It's with Hasbro. First they give Transformers to Outright Games, they guy's who made classics such as Giantosaurus, Racing with Ryan, and Paw Patrol on a Roll. And now Hasbro is working with Outright again to make a Peppa Pig game for ALL systems?

  • florek_kun florek 🦉 (@florek_kun) reported

    @SySAmii_ nintendo is about to issue DMCA2

  • MarekLonchar Marek (@MarekLonchar) reported

    @noahgould19 @avrage_person @NintendoAmerica People exaggerate the motion controls though, I didn’t really mind it. But to say that the issue has been fixed is very likely false.

  • DnnrPants Dnnr Pants (@DnnrPants) reported

    If Nintendo first party titles were allowed to release on any other gaming platform, Nintendo would crash and burn state side.

  • TimmayJohnson Tim Johnson (@TimmayJohnson) reported

    @dyhptg @segamstim It’s not a price error. It’s a code for them to take them off shelves and send them back to Nintendo. Someone didn’t do their job lol

  • taurelith Taurelith (@taurelith) reported

    @themagictriton @MoneyTone21 it might not be a big issue to someone with disposable income like you, but to someone that really loves the series but cant afford to spend all their money on it because nintendo pulled their 3902nd legalized robbery it could be. i cant fathom loving a game and -

  • octoturt octoturt (@octoturt) reported

    @VirtuaCitra @Cibles_ anything ctgp related might have trouble with verification anyway, since it's a mod of a nintendo game

  • Jason_TGF JasonTGF (@Jason_TGF) reported

    Nintendo has dumb some really dumb stuff over the past 2 years, but this is just a “whatever” moment. So it’s weird to see all of Twitter be pissed at a “”QoL”” feature that’s more of a non-solution to a non-issue

  • Bluejack222 FrostyJack (@Bluejack222) reported

    @qtcheetah @NintendoAmerica I heard it's been delayed because they were having trouble with the switch port

  • QuantumSammy Quantum Sammy (@QuantumSammy) reported
