  • breezyskells alan skelly (@breezyskells) reported

    @NintendoUK No issues with the delay

  • FieryDarkstar Wildfire Darkstar (@FieryDarkstar) reported

    @spinkicks4jesus If I were a conspiracy theorist, I'd wager there was some issue with the release that Nintendo is hiding behind a "in light of world events" excuse. But, realistically, it's probably just performative BS. 🙄

  • So_Ethereal 🌟 Ezereal 🌟 (@So_Ethereal) reported

    @akumakurosawa @Mrpyrostorm @NintendoAmerica We? I'm not American. It's your problem...

  • Nachosandchill Protect Trans Youth (@Nachosandchill) reported

    I seriously doubt I'm the first person to have this idea but I think Sony/Microsoft/Nintendo should cash in on the nostalgia for Blockbuster and offer some kind of digital rental service. imagine paying like $10 for 72 hour full access to any game to see if it's for you

  • coalponfire Coalponfire (@coalponfire) reported

    @NintendoAmerica Lame.. You know there’s been a massive war in Syria and surrounding areas for about ten years. I’m sure if war hadn’t broken out in Ukraine Nintendo wouldn’t have batted an eye. I get why you’re delaying honestly I do but it’s odd how these things are weighed.

  • izagar_ 🌸Izagar🌸- ✨ Artist Vtuber ✨ - Art Comms Open (@izagar_) reported

    @SpiderWizard @Stealth40k PR hell that could have made Nintendo seem like it supports actual war by releasing a war based game during said war. :/ Because "normies" think anything to do with video games supports an actual issue they won't resolve. Like how they say VG violence promotes real violence.

  • Rising_Thunder_ H.Brandt (@Rising_Thunder_) reported

    @KermitAnIceFrog Nintendo is doomed. PlayStation is doomed. Michael Pachter's crystal ball is broken again.

  • GianniG7 GianniG (@GianniG7) reported

    @NintendoUK Auto renewed my subscription and would not refund it the day after having not used it for over a year. Really disappointing, their online service is really lacking and this just reinforces the fact they know this

  • Shimazaki_D Gustavo Moreno (@Shimazaki_D) reported

    @JuiceMan_V @NintendoAmerica And being an online service that will disappear when they pull the plug!, bye bye all those classic games.

  • ReidemTom Tom Reidem (@ReidemTom) reported

    @djudjubs @Motionstahp @SailorMoonKick The worst part, is that is going to bite them in the future. Is the same problem with Ubisoft, when all you're games do the same no one is special. I like nintendo but we have to admit that they at least have plenty of variety of games.

  • LuigiTime08 Popcorn (@LuigiTime08) reported

    They LITERALLY didn’t fix this game at all, Nintendo only tricked you into thinking this by adding stuff that’s already been in Mario kart 8, the mii tour would’ve been better if the mii racing suits weren’t Mario kart 8 ports of the amiibo racing suits

  • foxearsfetish フェフ (@foxearsfetish) reported

    @theKEFAco @theOnlyAitor @NintendoAmerica its legitimately such a non-issue mate. war happens everywhere in the world, this one just happens to be publicized a lot more so suddenly it now matters.

  • ItemsENABLED ItemsENABLED (@ItemsENABLED) reported

    @LuigiSidekick @NintendoAmerica It's only fifty bucks if you don't even have the online service at all and even then it's 50 bucks for an entire year I'm not saying it's a great deal but people keep exaggerating

  • Charlie01081586 Ultimate break 82 (@Charlie01081586) reported

    @ScotFreeExtraT @JuiceMan_V @NintendoAmerica Ok and? The problem

  • racoon_sandwich 🇺🇦 (@racoon_sandwich) reported

    @Safhier @Theone321321 @NintendoAmerica Idk, they still have about a year to fix that so for now, I'm just waiting

  • LJMags9 LJMags9! (@LJMags9) reported

    @NintendoAmerica Shoulda remade Golden Sun instead. Then we wouldn’t’ve these problems.

  • NintendoShame Nintendo Shame (@NintendoShame) reported

    It's been 231 days since the last game was added to the Nintendo Switch Online service

  • defmedia85 Dennis F. (@defmedia85) reported

    @BombosMedallion I do wonder though if things on that front (acquisition) would have looked differently if PG had retained some of their key talent? Something usually more of an issue with Western devs, ironically. They do love their Nintendo DNA thing but if people jump ship all the time? ...

  • GothicBertram Path of the Dragon (@GothicBertram) reported

    @ExpandDong15 But like. Nintendo is making the right move here for once. I'm confused on what the problem is

  • Charlie01081586 Ultimate break 82 (@Charlie01081586) reported

    @jbx9001 @NintendoAmerica Fr it shouldn’t even be a problem in the first place

  • Lizbeth88043786 Lizbeth Peralta (@Lizbeth88043786) reported

    We're running right back, here we go again. It's so insane. I guess I don't know my own strength. say best to go your separate ways. Sound like broken records playin' over. Next time, You don't get another chance, life is no Nintendo game.

  • FGFrost7 Frost ⛓ (@FGFrost7) reported

    not even revealing f zero x on your ****** online expansion pack for your windows 95 internet service will make me buy the expansion pack. Do better nintendo

  • GamerGB1988 Gamer1988 (@GamerGB1988) reported

    @NintendoAmerica Nintendo did not issue an statement regarding which side of the war it takes, it did not donate to Ukrainian people like other companies do but now all of the sudden the war is so important that they are delaying a game because of it? IDK but that looks fishy.

  • jbx9001 JBX9001 (@jbx9001) reported

    @NintendoAmerica I understand why it’s being delayed; I just wish this whole thing wasn’t an issue in the first place...

  • CyberNutz1234 CyberNutz 🇺🇦 (@CyberNutz1234) reported

    @telosv2 @NintendoAmerica @videogamedeals you do realise you're saying that a multi-billion dollar company can't postpone their game because of real-world problems

  • JerezNaranjo Dr Sicret (@JerezNaranjo) reported

    @Manga_Kamen I would actually liked that Pokemon stood in that style as the main pixel art game of Nintendo, it would avoid them all the problems they have with graphics and being charming in its own way.

  • TheFuryofFawful Fawful's Fury (@TheFuryofFawful) reported

    And then we get onto the fix it later approach in some of the games, especially Mario's sport games. I don't understand why Nintendo don't release the games with an acceptable amount of content anymore. It's incredibly disappointing

  • cookieblobber +Surielle (@cookieblobber) reported

    @Jayarrpee @NintendoUK Yea it’s weird how there’s this opportunity to bring back a lot of these nearly forgotten games to preserve their history and…they haven’t really bothered… Isn’t this the reason why this service is a thing? Because they wanted to essentially be a replacement to emulation?

  • yetmorebees0 bulldoze the suburbs (@yetmorebees0) reported

    @TweetNevets @FyrusYT no, the issue is Nintendo offered this secondary app for voice chat instead of integrated voice chat in the games proper

  • Hanugumo Almighty Cuddle-DigiGod Hanu!🔞💉💉 Birthday Mon!! (@Hanugumo) reported

    @Eeve2espeon I dunno, they could have transferred everything over to work on the Switch though. =0 And the service isn't that expensive to maintain (especially seeing how MUCH Nintendo actually makes in profits every year). They just assume that the 3DS and Wii are all completely dead. =(
