  • GrahamColumbVO Graham Columb VO (@GrahamColumbVO) reported

    @RJH755 @FerrisWheelPro I think the op is stating that kotaku are the problem,not Nintendo. (I agree with that)

  • RajelAran Rajel Aran's DREAD (@RajelAran) reported

    You're expected to be able to transition from this immediately to countering enemy attacks. I know I sound like a broken record on this, but this is honestly absurd, and I expected a little more from Nintendo in regards to approachability. Hell just let me *slow things down* even

    @daymona @NintendoAmerica Unchecked mental illness is a real problem.

  • PapiTrollo Shuichi Minamino (@PapiTrollo) reported

    bruh the switch dropped in 2017. ps5 in 2020 ps5 outsold the switch in less than a year amidst low inventory issues. I don't ever wanna hear about much better nintendo is than anything else.

  • RolfTheWhatever Rolf 🔜 MFF 21' (@RolfTheWhatever) reported

    Reportedly, development on Dread was a pain in the ***. Coupling this with the issues that Prime 4 has and is going through to get made, maybe Nintendo has their standards really high for the series? I bet Other M is the reason for it.

  • ForlornCl0wn MelancholicClown (@ForlornCl0wn) reported

    @usagi1997kromer "fix this or I'm not playing your game" lol it's not like Nintendo gives a **** if you play it, they already got your money when you bought it

  • VongolaPrimoKHR ☆ Vongola ☆ (@VongolaPrimoKHR) reported

    @7Oryon @Nintendo ok but the ftilt is a legit issue 😭😭😭

  • ShingetsuMoon Shingetsu (@ShingetsuMoon) reported

    @nintendolife Too pricy for what it offers right now and Nintendo hasn't been particularly consistent adding titles or features to their Online Service. But aside from that it doesn't particularly bother me either way.

  • SilverDrive92 Jim | Linde is Best Girl | Buy Metroid Dread. (@SilverDrive92) reported

    @AnacybeleKels @NintendoAmerica The Prism Scale should negate this issue if it's brought back. As far as I know, Feebas' nature doesn't matter anymore and it can evolve with any one. I'm also sure they'll raise it's rarity like they did with ORAS.

  • Bradaloop Brad (@Bradaloop) reported

    @AllEchse @Qphlat @nintendolife If we keep looking at poor working conditions and hoping Nintendo will fix them we're treating Nintendo as the exception when they should be the norm. We should be asking for industry wide change rather than 'tidying' a room by shoving everything away into one drawer.

  • LovelyXboxGamer XboxSweetie (@LovelyXboxGamer) reported

    Not even kidding, there's timidness in the early Nintendo replies JUST because of the broken arguments that get brought. You get a busted argument and it ratios you? Tough ****. Boost this anyway. #NoPaySwitchOnline #DontPaySwitchOnline #NintendoScamOnline

  • T3RM1NAT0RTIM Tim (@T3RM1NAT0RTIM) reported

    @ArloStuff Finally start to reconsider their comments on video 505 titled "guys I'm serious Nintendo has major issues" thinking maybe they weren't vulgar enough in their comments if this blue puppet fellow continues to believe he can trash talk the company that pays him millions.

  • Nvader Nvader (@Nvader) reported

    @OrnateDragon @SkiffTalks @StutheAnnouncer Punching down on someone in the community with a QRT is not an active way of criticism. It makes him look childish over it when in reality his issue is with the men in suits at Nintendo of America.

  • PapiTrollo Shuichi Minamino (@PapiTrollo) reported

    bruh the switch dropped in 2017. ps5 in 2020 ps5 outsold the switch in less than a year amidst low inventory issues. I don't ever wanna hear about how much better nintendo is than anything else ever again.

  • LovelyXboxGamer XboxSweetie (@LovelyXboxGamer) reported

    @LoudToon99 @TheNCSmaster @NintendoAmerica This amount for this type of service and contents of a package is completely brand new. When you lump it into prices of games and things you're doing a disservice to how much it not doing well could effect, period.

  • etkazgi ETKAZGI (@etkazgi) reported

    @swshriv @NintendoAmerica Facts. I had no problem spending $115 on the game and DLC fighters but to have to pau 75 cents for EVERY Mii costume!? Im sorry but Nintendo, you have gone too far!

    Those Nintendo servers be ready for that influx of download updates tonight. I don't want to see no errors lol

  • Vitorsic Vitor (@Vitorsic) reported

    @NintendoAmerica My way is paying a Fair price for a service.

  • CavemanEnginee2 Caveman_Engineer (@CavemanEnginee2) reported

    @TaylorSwitch64 I'd say wait until they add more games. The issue for me isn't the price, it's the infrequent updates that Nintendo doea

  • Haldrie Robert (@Haldrie) reported

    @NintendoAmerica Way to go Nintendo. You turned more fans in to emulation fans again. Stop tieing roms to your Online service fee and sell them to us like the old Virtual Console days..only for $1 each so we don't feel as ripped off and you might actually make more money from it.

  • pikessb not alex or am i (@pikessb) reported

    Remember to buy sora now instead of at release time b/c Nintendo e shop def gonna crash

  • mowwie_wowwie Mowwie Wowwie (@mowwie_wowwie) reported

    @Pocket_Camp I wish I would've known that before I uninstalled thinking it was my phone causing the error just to lose all my progress!! Even tried linking the Nintendo account and nothing😭 I was at level 85 and on my final camper expansion loan 😭😭💔💔

  • 32DaCrow Da Crow (@32DaCrow) reported

    @DrunkenGymkata @NintendoAmerica No it doesn't plus they fix them for free unlike the drifting controllers Sony has.

  • sulfuricsteam8 sulfuricsteam8 (@sulfuricsteam8) reported

    @NintendoAmerica Awesome! But i have a little issue with the remakes. Can't you just forget about the exp share? That's the worst idea ever, and everyone hates it. You mind deleting it, or at least not making it mandatory? Thank you.

  • TristanRendo Tristan Rendo (@TristanRendo) reported

    So catching up on news after a vacation and wow that Nintendo Switch Online Expansion is way overpriced at $50. The online service sucks and lacks most modern features so it's really just access to their official emulator - that they've only so-so supported the last few years...

  • TheMuff1nMon Kevin Ainsworth (@TheMuff1nMon) reported

    @youmecapris @seancapri @consolecaito After the reveal of the major price increase for Nintendo Online ($20 to $50 or $35 to $80 depending on plan), what do you think Nintendo could actually add to the service to justify that, because N64/Genesis certainly don't.

  • Casualverse Casualverse (@Casualverse) reported

    @TheNintendoFeed @MariDragololi I love nintendo more than microsoft but its not even a contest right now. It's embarrassing. I can't stress it enough, I know they are capable of more than a C- Service billed at a premium. they're better than that but it can't be helped if bad practices are rewarded.

  • LovelyXboxGamer XboxSweetie (@LovelyXboxGamer) reported

    @MikeMaddest @Clayrus_ @NintendoAmerica I mean speed it up and stop the dripfeed. People paying to make it a worse service later HOPEFULLY feel very burned at how slowly they get games if Nintendo isn't incentivized to make it more appealing quickly.
