    @JhonSmi21322470 @Squid_Pau @monsterhunter Are you stupid. Either Nintendo isn't allowing them or in order to release the game on time they can't add it. It's not an issue of just refusing to or not being capable. They know adding it would make far more people buy it so the only reason they can't is for reasons they can't

  • nsoremap petition to remap nso controllers (@nsoremap) reported

    @NintendoAmerica imagine if this service was good

  • ThriniT Thrinity (@ThriniT) reported

    @TERRATH0TTA @SacredDragon6 @CorkyisQ If someone traced your artwork and sold it? Yes, that means someone could buy from them instead of you. It's the same product and service. But how on bloody earth would tracing a screenshot of a world known video game prevent Nintendo from selling anything that they offer?

  • patricknotirl patrick (@patricknotirl) reported

    nintendo wii broken

  • Amburgs2 Amburgers (@Amburgs2) reported

    @gray_walf Probably talking about emulating(even though nintendo tries to take down every single emulating service that has their games)

  • BattleAxeVR BattleAxeVR (@BattleAxeVR) reported

    @Mandrillia Yeah, especially Nintendo, I mean, come on, how much bad publicity and warranty repairs did they get for failing to fully fix joycon drift issue, again and again? To save literally pennies. It boggles the mind. And the performance / accuracy / jitter is so much better than pots.

  • NavyX08 Navy (I'm Back) (@NavyX08) reported

    @NintendoAmerica NSO as a whole would be good if they fix the expansion pass, lower the price to like 25$ or something a year for snes, nes, sega genesis and n64 and make CLOUD SAVING FREE NOT LOCKING IT BEHIND A PAYWALL. It's very shocking to see such a basic feature locked behind a paywall.

  • ItsSteveMiner69 Steven From Minecraft (@ItsSteveMiner69) reported

    @NintendoAmerica FIX N64!

  • gino121034 Chrollo-San (@gino121034) reported

    @NintendoAmerica havent touched my switch since 3 weeks or so. coz im emulating on my new tablet for free. because your service stinks.

  • BokoTheChocobo Krystal🏳️‍⚧️🏳️‍⚧️ (@BokoTheChocobo) reported

    @NintendoAmerica Just because it's free, doesn't make your online any less crappy or any more appealing. Actually FIX IT, and people wouldn't mind paying for it.

  • batouttahell24 Bat | like yeehaw (@batouttahell24) reported

    @RaybrandtCloud2 @NintendoAmerica instead of giving a 7 day free trial for the base package, they should actually ******* fix the issues with the n64 NSO

  • FaZeCoomer 🅴🅳 and 2,529 others (@FaZeCoomer) reported

    @spookyhours40 @NintendoAmerica *loan them to us in a broken state!

  • PegaSlaystation ⚣ Sunday's Alt ⚢ (@PegaSlaystation) reported

    i always assumed ACNH being designed like a f2p service game was some kind of mistake until I remembered Nintendo sells their online subscription and the in-game rng and tge Amiibo are sub-ins for lootboxes

  • Lancelot_811 Łañcęløt ⚫️💨 (@Lancelot_811) reported

    @NintendoAmerica This doesn’t solve the problem, Nintendo…

  • Derecles260 Derek Price (@Derecles260) reported

    @NintendoAmerica You can get more subscribers if you FIX YOUR ONLINE!!!

  • Trinh_Nils Nils Johansson (@Trinh_Nils) reported

    @RockstarSupport @RockstarGames Are you going to fix these games? How could Vice City stories run better on PSP than Vice City on Nintendo Switch ?

  • D_Unexpected198 Final Plays (@D_Unexpected198) reported

    @NintendoAmerica How about and HEAR me out on this: 1 FIX THE DAMN SERVICE IT IS LAGGY 2 Add the 2nd Wave of Games to the Expansion Pass, FFS We have beaten most of them already and are waiting for PAPER MARIO and BANJO KAZOOIE to drop... (BTW would be fun if you could somehow get Conker back)

  • etkazgi ETKAZGI (@etkazgi) reported

    @NintendoAmerica Charges $20 a year for a barley functional online service + an extra $50 dollars for N64 RomS with input lag, audio lag, no button mapping and frame rate issues. PlayStation is better

  • ThriniT Thrinity (@ThriniT) reported

    @TERRATH0TTA @SacredDragon6 @CorkyisQ Which has nothing to do with copyright because none of you are licensed by Nintendo whatsoever (even though of course the ones that do their work from scratch are still doing this legally). The difference is in the service. Tracing vs. Originality. [...]

  • hippiechicken12 Michael Connor (@hippiechicken12) reported

    @NintendoAmerica Look.. I get you want to get more people on the service, but.. why not fix it first? You are the OG here yet your competition is 20+ years ahead of you in the online space. What happened here?

  • BottlesTheMole Bottles🧩 wants Mr Krabs in Nick All-Star Brawl🦀 (@BottlesTheMole) reported

    @ExpandDong15 @NintendoAmerica Don't think that's what people had in mind when they said "FIX IT" Roping unaware people in with a free trial and then quick sand trap them into paying to renew their subscription, that is not fixing it. 🗿

  • Jake_5040 Jake 🌹🇬🇧 Tories are corrupt (@Jake_5040) reported

    @NintendoAmerica NSO is poop not worth the price, listen to people want from the service then people will buy, also would be nice NOT TO USE PER 2 PER CONNECTIONS!

  • DeadmanMano Mano 💀 (@DeadmanMano) reported

    @NintendoAmerica Thank you, Nintendo. I mean, why fix your awful service when you can just give a 7-day free trial to your awful service instead?

  • Diamond_Aura_ Diamond Aura (@Diamond_Aura_) reported

    @plscallmekimi @NintendoAmerica That’s fair. I guess I’m just trying to give an honest analysis that isn’t focused only on the problems. It has both upsides and downsides.

  • JackOsorio8 Jack Osorio (@JackOsorio8) reported

    @NintendoAmerica You'll get my money when you fix this damn online service

  • RonanGaillard Ronan Gaillard (@RonanGaillard) reported

    @RockstarSupport bought TDE yesterday on Switch eshop but low fps, corrupted game save, collisions issues. Would like a refund but Nintendo tells me to ask you for a refund. Your website does not allow to submit a ticket atm. What should I do ?

  • BattleAxeVR BattleAxeVR (@BattleAxeVR) reported

    @Mandrillia I wish Nintendo / MS / Sony / Oculus would use contactless thumbsticks and stop this waste. Most controllers w/ drift due to broken pots end up in landfills instead of being fixed. It's so environmentally irresponsible. Hall effect chips cost ~two dollars in single quantities.

  • NavyX08 Navy (I'm Back) (@NavyX08) reported

    @NintendoAmerica NSO is good. The drastic increase in price with expansion pass is not. I do hope they fix the expansion pass and lower the price of expansion pass + NSO to like 25$ a year or something. Also, remove Cloud Saving from NSO and just put it out for free for everyone.

  • thesingerjrod00 Jacob Rodriguez (@thesingerjrod00) reported

    @NintendoAmerica Ahhh yes a week to have a trial of ****, how about you guys fix ther service so you can actually make it worth the price cause this is disgrace, disgusting, and despicable
