@TheGarpInvestor The problem with Nintendo is management makes really big ****** every few years. N64, GameCube, WiiU were all unforce errors that gave up dominant market positions.

DTrigger0D ( NES Zelda remake in a BOTW graphics)
(@DTrigger0D) reported
@ArcadeGirl64 I’m goin to say this Ex developer from Retro Studios is saying something negative response. If Nintendo can fix Zelda SS to the Switch, so can Metroid Prime. I’m thinking a stand alone game remake in HD instead of trilogy in one cartridge. Nintendo would do a Zelda.

@Warface I can't speak for xbox and p.s., but nintendo has a bots issue. Are you adding bots in games to make up for up population on pvp servers? Should I take solice in the fact i find bots of various difficulties?

I swear on everything exclusives are only and issue when it comes to PlayStation and Xbox. NO one has an issue with Nintendo having exclusive games it’s very weird

@SC_GamingYT @DEOMOAN1 @KnightOfGames_ Yes, no one is worse. I don't even understand how these examples would be any worse than Nintendo's. A lot of it is **** Nintendo still does to this day like buying all DLC easily making the bill go to 100+. Not that this specifically is even a problem since it's optional DLC.

@NintendoUK my son’s Fortnite Nintendo Switch was a Christmas gift and the joystick on the left Joy Con has broken. Can this be replaced under warranty? Many thanks

Does the Nintendo Switch just suck? My kid has had problems with 3 joycons, and now his console won't read any SD cards - which is apparently a Known Issue. Heading into lockdown, he's so heartbroken. We can't afford an annual replacement (which is a GROSS idea). #NintendoSwitch

@SC_GamingYT @DEOMOAN1 @KnightOfGames_ Uh... yes? Nintendo sells a bunch of DLC as well even if not holding a particular record but it's no issue. It's extra optional content. Why would the quantity of what they sell be an issue? Especially when the topic is pricing. Many would argue the more you offer the better.

@ThriniT @DEOMOAN1 @KnightOfGames_ And thats where I take the bigger issue with. If at the core, pricing is a problem then Nintendo's only fault is taking longer to discount games if they do. Other developers and companies have far worse pricing actions.

@MyFianceIsDead @pushsquare There isn't a issue. Its the same mechanicism the xbox, ps4, nintendo switch ect uses

@LumaWiiFit I believe the switch's even worse, here in Uruguay we don't even have eShop support so unless you set your Nintendo account to a different country you're not even going to be able to buy the online and many other South American countries have similar issues

@ImposterDittoM @LonelyGoomba ok fine, its a misunderstood masterpiece. whats the real problem with that? 1. even if ARMS is the best fighter and has a ton of in depth mechanics. they market it as a gimick, its not people fault to see arms and thinking its a gimicky game when nintendo markets it that way.

@doctornerdingt1 Haven’t had any problems with mine. I’d suggest contacting nintendo customer service for a repair.

@NotLordPyromon If it was a project "nobody cared about", again why waste time and money to completely redo it? You Twitter dumbasses need to realize that Metroid doesn't get many games because Metroid doesn't sell. If Nintendo really didn't care, they'd push out a broken mess to make money

Nintendo won't sue people for making a Pokemon romhack but they will C&D them. Remove sec 230 and suddenly the web host could get sued by Nintendo for hosting a Rom hack on their site. Now that website has to crack down on modding projects under their web service.

@tildatea @justdancegame Did you buy it through ubisoft or the nintendo store? @Rarityy94 had the same issue on 2020 buying through nintendo and she wound up having to buy it through Ubisoft.

My left Joy-Con for the Switch doesn’t work. The joystick works but none of the other buttons are doing anything. Updated controllers - didn’t help. Any fix for this or do I just get new ones? @NintendoAmerica

@SC_GamingYT @DEOMOAN1 @KnightOfGames_ An effort to see where I'm coming from is to take off the fanboy glasses. As I said before, there is no problem with selling DLC. Nintendo doesn't hold the record for most DLC for a game but still reach the 100 mark you mentioned. But again, ... what's wrong with that.

(@VgDiegazo) reported
@ImposterDittoM @LonelyGoomba also thats not the biggest issue, the biggest issue is like i said, nintendo plays it extremely safe and they rarely innovate, breath of the wild was their last big risk with a franchise, and before that they never innovated or took risks since galaxy

@Doctor_Cupcakes Attacking Nintendo fans is getting tiring "Nintendo fans suck Nintendo" "Nintendo fans hate Nintendo" "Nintendo fans hate New franchises" "Nintendo fans eat a ****** online" "Nintendo fans are ungrateful" The people that constantly repeat this are a massive part of the problem

@OneTiltyBoi @BlackoutMauro This creates a whole new problem, sadly. Like yeah my 2011 laptop could run the game smoothly and such, but all my cosmetics and lvl 100 account are on my Nintendo Switch and I don't wanna buy everything again. So this will have to lead to some sort of account merging too

Nintendo just make a subscription service already and put all your backlog and sequels to games you never make sequels to on there, lol.

@Pokemon @NintendoAmerica Is there a customer service rep LGS owners can contact about your lack of transparency? I would like to talk about the print numbers on upcoming sets. You promised more products, but have failed to deliver on any of your promises. Thanks!
