  • AsaTowari Vaguely Human (@AsaTowari) reported

    @NintendoUK Care to at some point put out a fix for Adaptable on Leif? It doesn't care for the actual damage and just goes for the weapon with the higher numbers (which in some cases is worse). Numerous times its given me the Light Brand (which sucks), when Master Lance would've killed.

  • MystiqueSkull Mystique 🔞 (@MystiqueSkull) reported

    I said Porkymon to avoid any issues with Nintendo. I’m spitting on a God’s eye already, I don’t need it to blink at me.

  • Rebellion64 Deeeee 🇬🇭 (@Rebellion64) reported

    @Allgeekdupjus @EverbornSaga ...asking for money to add such a game already available on a platform to a subscription service. Nintendo/Nvidia are not being asked to pay to bring COD to their platforms. PS has to pay to bring COD to PS+. Did I dump that down enough for you?

  • FlixxyWorldddd Flixxy (@FlixxyWorldddd) reported

    @charlieINTEL No the problem is Nintendo is no where near able to run a cod game on the switch

  • DadViehmann 🅱️ameron 🐀 (@DadViehmann) reported

    @NintendoAmerica it is impossible to submit a repair request for Nintendo 3ds systems on your website right now, please fix this

  • Di_no_____ Di_no (1/2 Myst) (@Di_no_____) reported

    @NintendoUK Performance gonna be a issue like s&v now

  • Son1cMaster SonicMaster10 (@Son1cMaster) reported

    @tcgharker @VinderTomat @charlieINTEL The problem I see is the shity online service that Nintendo has

  • A_Skoteinos Aleph, The Black Ram (@A_Skoteinos) reported

    I'm wondering if anyone can help me fix a problem with my Nintendo Switch. I didn't play with it since January and then when I get back on I download a game update and it tells me it can't access the MicroSD card, and every time I load the console that's what it tells me.

    nintendo wii broken

  • SenninSage SenjutsuSage Hi-Fi Rush (@SenninSage) reported

    @normalguyin2022 The CMA places extra emphasis on timeliness of consumer benefits. Microsoft is saying if you considered the Game Pass benefits to be timely even considering Sony's deal, they should have no problem with the Nintendo Switch COD benefits which MS and Acti are saying can come fast.

  • JoeyBSmoak BC (The Willennium Man) Smoak (@JoeyBSmoak) reported

    @solwrestles I actually kinda have this theory on how all three companies are able to be very profitable in three different ways. Sony: Block buster exclusives Nintendo: It's Disney but started as a toy company. Microsoft: everything is a live service basically. Sea of thieves ect.

  • NocheLord NightLord (@NocheLord) reported

    Its fair for everyone, if ms/xbox dont handle it correctly and make worst games, well thats their problem, they'd kill their own games then. Thats not your problem nintendo/playstation/pc etc. If they fck themselves so be it.

  • GamerObscure That Obscure Gamer (@GamerObscure) reported

    @CreColPro @Dogeskii @Wario64 Dude the fact Goldeneye got on the damn service at all is a miracle in and of itself and it shows Nintendo is actually giving a **** for once

  • willy24able willy24able (@willy24able) reported

    @XCidoClipDump @NintendoAmerica @Sora_Sakurai I don't like the idea of Steve's fighting mechanics since it was first announced & to think that ******* glitch existed which makes him OP for the wrong reason. I DEMANDED SUPER SMASH BROS ULTIMATE TO GET A MAJOR UPDATE JUST TO REMOVED THAT BUG TO NERF HIM IMMEDIATELY!

  • DarkNess52803 DarkNess | DQ Chungus (@DarkNess52803) reported

    @OliyTC The problem is you’re thinking about what makes sense and the ****** at Nintendo makin the kits are tryna make as little sense as possible

  • GoblinWatchNet Goblin Watch Network (@GoblinWatchNet) reported

    @neithhoteplives @Orzakroaken Not when goblins keep getting into my house and stealing my stuff. I haven’t had a problem with any of the other races. They just can’t keep their hands off of Ninjabread Man for the Nintendo Wii.

  • willy24able willy24able (@willy24able) reported

    @XCidoClipDump @NintendoAmerica @Sora_Sakurai WHAT THE HECK IS GOING ON WITH YOU GUYS!? I thought that for the longest time since the end of the DLC, the roster was balanced enough. HOW IS THIS MISERABLE GLITCH EXISTED WHICH CAUSED STEVE TO BE UNBALANCED!? DID YOU NOT SEE THAT GLITCH!?

  • SNESTesterAlex Alex der SNES Blogger (snes-testberichte.de) (@SNESTesterAlex) reported

    @PlayStation Why did you let die the PS Vita? That console was equal to the Switch, it could be counterpart to it. I mean most Switch game are just re-releases of PSP or PS Vita games... If you'd re-release it with a bigger and better screen Nintendo would be in serious trouble

  • LorenzoDMusic Lorenzo de Sequera (@LorenzoDMusic) reported

    @Naveed_Mohebbi I was playing my 3DS when I was going through a power outage last weekend. I just kept thinking how baffling Nintendo is with their "1 step forward, 2 steps backwards" approach as they move from one generation to the next.

  • KevinFoxJr kev (@KevinFoxJr) reported

    Never having really been a Nintendo fan, feeling an irrational impulse to get a 3DS and get stuff off the e shop before that’s no longer possible (bringing this up on here for the 4th or 5th time like it’s anyone else’s problem)

  • w0lfcrush mylo 🏳️‍⚧️ (@w0lfcrush) reported

    the only issue is the fact nintendo still charges $60 for wii u games on the switch … make them $40 and i won’t have so much of an issue with it

  • Ms_Xtina Ms_Xtina (@Ms_Xtina) reported

    Our Nintendo switch isn't charging even after I blew in it. The classic Nintendo trouble shoot isn't working and I don't know what else to try.

  • InfamousTog TheInfamousTog (@InfamousTog) reported

    @charlieINTEL I have a strong feeling that CoD on Nintendo will be nothing more than game-streaming only titles. Hard to believe they'll force devs to find work-arounds for that level of hardware. Series S issues point out that's a bad idea

  • Sunnie64Hedgie Sunnie64 (CHECK PINNED) 🦔 (@Sunnie64Hedgie) reported

    @jaycob_ok @jctorres_9999 @NinEverything I mean, Nintendo's first party titles are usually very polished. They've never released a severely broken mess, as far as I know. These type of releases could harm Nintendo's reputation for releasing polished games if Pokémon keeps pushing the limits of what they can put out imo

  • charlieINTEL CharlieIntel (@charlieINTEL) reported

    the problem with Microsoft’s commitment to bring Call of Duty to Nintendo is that making this version will take away development resources, and that’ll result in less resources overall on content and less content, when players are already complaining about the lack of content.

  • OutThaacut JS (@OutThaacut) reported

    @PlayerEssence Nintendo would sue them if they have an issue. Like they take legal action against everything else that copies them

  • NevixAstari Herman Cillo (@NevixAstari) reported

    @TheBluesBomber @NinWire You get this reaction because every tiny little imperfection on release was treated like the end of the world, and like Nintendo had kicked your dog. Pokemon Scarlet fixed a ton of the problems in Pokemon. But all I hear is whining about imperfection.

  • NinjaBear226 NinjaBear (@NinjaBear226) reported

    @denorx_ @ReeceLavigne @charlieINTEL No, Sony are being Hypocrites and just want the money. They are saying anything and everything they can to make the deal not go through when they are the only ones who have an issue. PC, Nintendo, Nvidia, etc have already signed a deal with MS. Sony are just cry babies

  • RealitiesCore Heart of Existence(2 days until MEGA) (@RealitiesCore) reported

    @JoeScorn @fan_kisaragi Why can’t both sides learn to not drag Nintendo into their problems? Nintendo fans like myself already have enough crap to deal with as is

  • Yahya_no_1 Yahya (@Yahya_no_1) reported

    @stephentotilo looool seems whatever deal they had post-Stadia didn't pan out like they have hopped They are now turning this into "come & get it" kind of service lol Expecting Nintendo to be part of this if it already doesn't have its own cloud service
