  • leannaxbananax Leanna💫 (@leannaxbananax) reported

    @GothMomV I have heard that you can send them back to Nintendo and they will fix them for free (not sure though)

  • tsuntofan 🎃tsuntofan🏸 (@tsuntofan) reported

    @Soullovv i think that from the nintendo online website you can disconnect your account from every device its on .

  • 16BitsofMagic 16 Bit (@16BitsofMagic) reported

    quickplay in smash needs to have some sort of system that doesn't let people with god awful internet go online bc i just faced a zelda in a match with so much input delay if nintendo doesn't want to fix their ****** service then at least put a system like that in place

  • HalalRobert Robert Halal (@HalalRobert) reported

    @MeDicenLimonMX @amazongames @NintendoAmerica In other words, I was right, 'not Nintendo's fault, why did Amazon send me here for problems with THEIR promotional content?'

  • DarkFuze5 DarkFuze (@DarkFuze5) reported

    @RemiMorii @evanakari @FortniteBR It should run better. It will not make the switch lag or buggy cause Nintendo wouldn’t allow that, and Epic wouldn’t make that a possibility. About the event part, it really depends what type of event.

  • RagingDragonTTV Raging Dragon (@RagingDragonTTV) reported

    @Nintendo Fix your game please! I paid £50 for Pokemon Brilliant Diamond and you allow the Cynthia battle to be rigged by letting her use multiple full restores which NOT fair play. Especially for the first battle!

  • lucid_coder Will (アイリス・バーニング) (@lucid_coder) reported

    @RaphLife I don't think anyone else has mentioned that Nintendo would also cease and desist the absolute **** out of that effort, not to mention the fact that adding a bounty to it means you've profited off of the use of their IP which would get you in major legal trouble

  • Maveritan "halloween all year round" spooky lily (@Maveritan) reported

    @EnbyKaiju yeah nintendo fixed the graphics driver issue that made it crash all the time

  • madstedotcom madstedotcom (@madstedotcom) reported

    @JazRignall Definitely had this magazine but can't remember if it was the issue I had same Xmas I got my nes only to learn about the new super Nintendo that was just round the corner

  • silancespoken silancespoken (@silancespoken) reported

    @GifZelda That is a Nintendo 64 game cartridge. The NES had this problem.

  • Go_Kart_Man Go Kart Man (@Go_Kart_Man) reported

    @NintendoUK Man you gotta fix your capitalist economy in MPS my brother had like 7 stars and everybody else had 3 and we never caught up to him, pure bull ****

  • onetinyrabbit Sarah @AWA (@onetinyrabbit) reported

    @Liz_Pecan In cas you didn't know: Nintendo will fix joycon drift for free, but you have to send it in/may take time

  • frionel26 frionel@KOFXV (@frionel26) reported

    @BogardMajeed @orochinagicom Didn't had any performance issue on PS4 and Nintendo Switch. So it's maybe a PC problem.

  • christianbarett christian barett (@christianbarett) reported

    @Gothalion I dont have problem with emulation when it comes to vintage gaming... part of what you said if you cant buy it physically at retail... this is a huge problem specially with nintendo lots of amazing games that desurve either a remake or a gamepass style subscription service

  • winstolf Craig Rathbone (Winst0lf) (Writer📕/Podcaster!) (@winstolf) reported

    @theWellRedMage As I understand it (and I may be incorrect), microcomputers kept gaming alive over here throughout the video game crash of 83. Nintendo have always been loved over here, but in my experience most people owned Sega consoles up until the PS1 came out. As I say, just my observations

  • jsc_choo jsc choo (@jsc_choo) reported

    @SpawnWaveMedia please help me look into nintendo oled wifi issues, wifi just died now can only connect with wired, nintendo rep said is not cover under warranty wtf!?

  • xeltweet Xel -dread is not super metroid i promise (@xeltweet) reported

    @leggystarscream yep, There is zero ******* reason that pokemon games should be rushed and the blame is 99 percent on nintendo/TPC, if there is truth to the claim gamefreak is reluctant to have support studios assist them then their is a 1 percent gamefreak problem

  • boring_cactus 💤🌵🤖thought follower (@boring_cactus) reported

    @RaphLife using mods might be against the EULA but I think that case established that creating mods wouldn't be a copyright violation - Project M never got C&D'd - although if Nintendo wants to force the issue then defending that position in court would of course cost way more than $10K

  • ProGambitYT Last Gambit #ThankYouScottCawthon (@ProGambitYT) reported

    I'm just gonna ask for evidence on any of that in thread, Nintendo really influenced platformers, game companies having masocts, Nintendo=Mario, Sega=Sonic, Sony=Crash etc, not to mention that you're actively ignoring for some reason Mario 64

  • 16BitsofMagic 16 Bit (@16BitsofMagic) reported

    quickplay in smash needs to have some sort of system that doesn't let people with god awful internet go online bc i just faced a zelda in a match with so much input delay if nintendo doesn't want to fix their ****** service than just put a system like that in place

  • JasonReplogle5 RepsOnReps 🇺🇲 (@JasonReplogle5) reported

    @XxThe_EmpirexX @Chaosxsilencer My man, it's happened on every release of any major platform since inception. Nintendo. Playstation. X-box. People would camp for days to have a shot at one. During a pandemic...with supply chain issues... There was only 1 result.

  • ClintonSelah Clinton Selah (@ClintonSelah) reported

    @RockstarGames I don't play Grand Theft Auto online. how about fix my Nintendo switch version....

  • brochington Broch (@brochington) reported

    @paulg Nintendo sells IP. Everything is in service of that. Selling hardware/software, and basically anything else, are means to sell this IP, and help maintain control over distribution. They do a good to not let IP "age out".

  • nack_faster nack🐝 (@nack_faster) reported

    @Bungie @nintendo I play slayer fiesta and only spawn with mangler pulse rifle please fix your game

  • TheGwilliam Gwilliam (@TheGwilliam) reported

    @LiquidHbox Not with Nintendo's service.

  • Reg_Wilhelm reg_wilhelm (@Reg_Wilhelm) reported

    I’ll say this, i’m a technician, i can fix hardware and various consoles But if you bring me a nintendo console don’t have high hopes, they make their stuff in similar ways to apple, where components aren’t that available and their engineering is focused on making repair hard

  • MissDreaRules 🍍PineappleRumpCake🍍 (@MissDreaRules) reported

    @Pokemon tell @NintendoAmerica to fix the Rock Climb TM glitch in the new Shining Pearl! I’m stuck in the game! 😭😭😭

  • Perishable_Food perishable (@Perishable_Food) reported

    @stormzyidkk Im kinda tempted to give you my black knight acc but you'd have to sign in with Nintendo

  • PhilipsZelda 🐓🐍 (@PhilipsZelda) reported

    @LinkmasterX9 the problem with 3d is the shortcuts are horribly visible now tbh like i wouldnt mind say reusing game engines, but the visuals can't really be ignored. we're at the point were these different Nintendo franchises are starting to look alike (notably zelda and pokemon)

  • RyanJMarotta Ryan Marotta (@RyanJMarotta) reported

    @PylesofBooks …okay fair, there is a good bit of hand-holding, but that’s a Nintendo problem in general (BotW aside).
