  • stegzmann stegzmann (@stegzmann) reported

    @AlexsaurosRex @Alejandroid1979 @kidsmoove Don’t forget Nintendo doing it too. It maybe inexcusably but there was no outrage… anyways it’s fakes new. Sony fanboys making a console war issue . Bethesda just released a statement to say it’s not true .

  • jeffbcraven Jeff Craven (@jeffbcraven) reported

    Sleeper GOTY in 2023 is Nintendo re-releasing the original version of Tetris on Game Boy for their Switch Online service

  • immortal_blue Caitlin David (@immortal_blue) reported

    If they’re gonna add broken as **** specials, at least have the ******* decency to remove Respawn Punisher. Nintendo doesn’t know how to ******* balance ****.

  • JonArron1 jon (@JonArron1) reported

    @survivetheark Can you fix the drop crates Nintendo switch they dropped into the the mesh of the rocks and ground and you can't actually access half of them.

  • Paarthurnaaxx Paarthurnax (@Paarthurnaaxx) reported

    @PlayerEssence @betabitch2234 @RGT_85 PlayStation has a subscription service with hundreds of games. PlayStation has a console that can't read discs. Those physical sales charts are irrelevant for PlayStation, Nintendo content creators talking about PlayStation is hilarious

  • RealWizamv Wizamv 🇻🇪 (@RealWizamv) reported

    @Nigel_Deco Nintendo: "Seems like a skill issue"

  • SoulStrike923 Agent SoulStrike (@SoulStrike923) reported

    @Drenttzaggett20 Nintendo may do some dumb stuff, but they are trying to fix it or at least some of it, these guys are actively making things worse just because they are on top and that is just gonna get them trashed if they continue to do this.

  • Kinanakinaa Average She/He/They JRPG enjoyer💞🏳️‍🌈 (@Kinanakinaa) reported

    Like thats a huge skill issue imo. I love Bravely Default FF and want a remaster, but i still keep my eyes open for new stuff regardless. Not gonna call it trash bc i didn't get one thing. Like recent Nintendo Direct, i got Etrian Odyssey, XC3 DLC 4 teaser etc etc. So i won.

  • OuterSpaceBro24 Outer space bro (@OuterSpaceBro24) reported

    @MldGhost @TWTHEREDDRAGON And without the deal they have MORE studios than Sony anyways. Why can’t bots see this a management issue. Out of Sony and Nintendo they are the only one struggling to release games.

  • xoxo_kayyla_ 🌙Moon princess✨ (@xoxo_kayyla_) reported

    @DisneyDLV when are you guys gonna fix the camera panning issue with the right joystick for Nintendo?

  • rimurutempest88 Rimurutempest88 (@rimurutempest88) reported

    @NintendoAmerica Game is a broken mess on switch. Avoid at all cost !

  • fluzzard24 Roscoe #TACTICIANSWEEP (@fluzzard24) reported

    nintendo if you don't fix ur goddamn servers

  • patricknotirl patrick (@patricknotirl) reported

    nintendo wii broken

  • adamguetti Adam Guetti (@adamguetti) reported

    @steve_farrelly Man, I distinctly remember forcing my mum to buy this issue of the mag at the local newsagent when I was a kid. Nintendo/N64 Gamer and Hyper were holy texts in my eyes.

  • Nick_Marseil Nicola (@Nick_Marseil) reported

    @WinC_Gaming @JezCorden They have more studios than Sony and Nintendo, the problem isn't not having enough of them.

  • AlexxColors Alex🔮🎃 🔞🧡⚢ @Trails/FFXIV (@AlexxColors) reported

    @TacoBelle117 I also want to say that while i understand where people are coming from, contacting streamers and harassing them is what my problem is with this situation. And if this game never came out, JKR wealth still growing. Legos, Universal, Nintendo.

  • boytayIor bandit (@boytayIor) reported

    the switch dropping frames when docked or the Nintendo online service is so nasty

  • SoaringGlory ゴールド 👨‍🚀 (@SoaringGlory) reported

    If Nintendo doesn't do anything for Star Fox 30th anniversary, we gonna have problems smh

  • KrazeBbdos SkarmorEEE (@KrazeBbdos) reported

    @Lizard32Lucky @NintendoAmerica They already said that this was a one off $70 & that is wouldn't be the trend. Just their biggest releases. If you have an issue paying $70 for Game of The Year, clearly the issue lies with you.

  • SnippetClipper Snippet ✂️ PixieTuber (@SnippetClipper) reported

    how is nintendo online a paid service... it literally disconnects me from matches and rooms every 5 minutes.

  • weeb_ex_machina Saf @ Fire Emblem Cockblocked (by Localization) (@weeb_ex_machina) reported

    @XenDrawsThings @faygoshill its not worth it to release DE only on the basis of English Dub which pretty much an afterthought unless they want to fix stuff like gacha mechanic, game resolution, or graphic overhaul to match 3's standard. still wont be a thing until 1+ years after Nintendo's Next Hardware

  • dajoekersole ✕☐◯△ (@dajoekersole) reported

    @MldGhost @infrarogue89 And the common issue with XB fans is letting your Uncle Phil continuously feed y'all BS. We gon see that for the next few gen. Guess what both Nintendo and Sony will still be on top.

  • Sycamorph Sycamorph 🔞 (@Sycamorph) reported

    @ZestyLemonss I think other companies might follow Twitter and make that feature paid in the future. Like how Nintendo made their online service paid, since they saw that Microsoft and Sony can do that with no consequencies.

  • AbigailLaird5 Abigail Laird (@AbigailLaird5) reported

    (4) Nook link barely offers anything new to the game, If it's gonna require a subscription to use it should have something worthwhile in it. I know I'm not the only one who has these issues. I feel like if gaming companies especially nintendo catered more to the disabled-

  • Valistic7 Valistic 7 (@Valistic7) reported

    @Scorpio05087279 @Sanikyuu @NintendoAmerica You can call it whatever you want but as long as they do enough to differentiate it from the first game, then I fail to see the problem

  • chibi_tiff ChibiTiff 🌸 (@chibi_tiff) reported

    @GriffinNichola @Nintendo @NintendoUK you can contact nintendo. i had a problem where my phone completely died and i didnt have my codes. they just have to confirm some info of yours

  • The_Ant_Man_Can Anthony Horan (@The_Ant_Man_Can) reported

    @DisneyDLV Hi for the PS4 version, building Mirabel's Mini-Casita doesn't seem to contribute to the Renovator trophy, for build 30 houses. But on the Nintendo Switch, it does count towards that progress? Is a fix being considered for PS4?

  • Kasperrt Kasper Ravn Tovik (@Kasperrt) reported

    @BandaiNamcoEU Tales of Symphonia runs awful on the Nintendo Switch. I was really looking forward to play this again. Is there any way to fix this? Guess I'll have to skip the Baten Kaitos HD Remaster :(

  • Jroc247 SuperApeRocy (@Jroc247) reported

    @rubenomarchave3 @MasterSlapper @NintendoAmerica It's not so much that the Ambient music is the problem, it's almost like at times it's not even there. The majority of the time you hear anything in the Overworld is when you're riding your horse, and even I enjoy that more than pure silence with occasional piano notes.

  • d21lewis Omni Man (@d21lewis) reported

    @ang3lface87 If this is becoming a thing, Sony needs to fix it. Being able to play the games I purchased on multiple consoles I also purchased was a big perk in the past. This is some Nintendo type BS (and I think the Switch even fixed this recently).
