cruller boi (@C3110PH4NE) reported@TeamYouTube @SolScribbles @GilvaSunner Yeah because the real nintendo totally doesnt have some sort of trademark behind it fix your ******* copyright system
-
RetroMinato🇵🇹 (@FGCminato) reported@Neo_Geo_Forever I actually didnt know that. I do know Nintendo optimised some pal games like Mário kart,DKC and a few others that even in 50hz ran better than their NTSC US counter parts. Good thing with the ps2 generation,that issue was gone
-
Tekayo (Kate) (@Tekayo63) reported@FrostGlader @AboutNintendo its like that one thing gaben said about "if you provide a better service than pirates, people won't pirate" except we're talking about nintendo here so good service is out of the question
-
M W Foley (@foley_mw) reported@RMinuski Mine is always to the right. I have recalibrated the joycons and when it does happen I remove the joycons when in handheld mode. I don't seem to have any issues when the switch is docked. No rhyme or reason but I wish Nintendo would fix it.
-
Andrea Haines (@anhaines00) reported@NintendoUK eshop suddenly stopped accepting the card I always used to make purchases (previously without problem). Tried several different cards, different banks etc) but get the same error message. There’s no issue according to my bank. Friend has had same problem. Any ideas?
-
1984 (@nutsonow2) reported@Beeflnjector @InsaneLinguist @GGMcAllen1138 The only way I can think of a service that would make Nintendo happy and fans happy is Nintendo having a monthly service like Xbox game pass, but for all their popular retro games. The only issue is that it would be regulated to the switch
-
VeeGee ~ VGM Extender (@VGManiac456) reportedAfter all, if YouTube officially came out to say it was Nintendo and it wasn't, then YouTube would get into trouble for making such a claim. Is it possible that it isn't Nintendo and YouTube made a mistake? Sure, but I don't find that very likely currently.
-
P.H.Silva - Comissions opened again (@PHDrawings1) reported@helvetica5td @Nintendo Censorship is really becoming a problem these days 😑
-
ShanTheGamer21 (Shantae 20th Year) (@ShanTheGamer21) reported@MariohazardX Also, I ****** up my Nintendo DS Lite while trying to fix it. 😢
-
JCGROOVEZ🎧 (@jcgroovez) reportedI sold off all of my official Nintendo Switch pro controllers. In my opinion it's one of the worst controllers Nintendo has ever made. My licensed third party Switch controllers are far more superior. I've never had any issues with them.
-
💛Red🆖 (read 📌) (@carpetnotmatt) reported@w00t000 I love Nintendo games but not the company. The company has serious problems, especially when it comes down to their treatment of people uploading game OSTs completely unmonetized, and people just gotta accept that they are not perfect.
-
M W Foley (@foley_mw) reported@RMinuski Also I did some google-ing. There are other steps to take as well. "how to calibrate joycons for Nintendo Switch". I almost recall a software update that was supposed to fix the drift. I agree.They are too expensive to go out and buy another pair. Good luck!
-
Sergio Acevedo 🇵🇷 (@ForceinUnison) reported@AcidOverride23 @BRAP_Podcast When it comes to transparency, there is no company less transparent than Microsoft. They actually stopped giving sales numbers a while ago and try to paint everything through "Engagement". Even Nintendo during the Wii U years they had no problem saying how bad they were doing.
-
R Λ Z / Ξ T H (@Razeth_) reported@KorenLesthe @MatttGFX The problem is that Nintendo doesn't upload the music anywhere themselves.
-
ErickADub (@ErickADub) reported@FrostGlader @AboutNintendo Been saying that the entire time, don't know why Nintendo is so reluctant to do it. If they've done this years ago, we wouldn't have this issue.
-
ElectroBlastLuigi ⚔️🛡💚 (@YTMario55901) reported@ExpandDong15 YouTube probably thought thats Nintendo's new account. I had the same problem few years ago with "ShoPro" who turned out to be a troll the whole time. This was during the time when not only ppl were facing copyright strikes but many random people dealt with community strikes too
-
i simp for animated wolves (@BeamstarsHmm) reported@TeamYouTube And why ******** would Nintendo allow those disputes? It's a multimillion game company that has a money opportunity, of course those corporate shills will take the cash. And for YouTube: Fix your ****** copyright system. It's clearly broken and needs serious fixing.
-
octo (***** fan club) 🏳️⚧️ (@alt_octo) reportedsplatoon 3 looks like ***, not buying it. nintendo needs to fix itself
-
Gogojira (@gogojira_) reported@Cheesemeister3k Really baffling how Nintendo has yet to put any of its catalog on a streaming service. I wonder what the hold up is.
-
Deester (@deester_) reported@AnishDLS1 That's true but imo Nintendo just striking down music is more realistic than YouTube lying about their ****** copyright system. In all honesty YouTube just acknowledges that their platform sucks and says that they're gonna fix it, but they never do.
-
(WW) ChriST #GroupRedraw (@souls_mystery) reported@goshblox2007 @TeamYouTube Yes, I know, it can be justified by the issue of copyright and everything, but it seems very exaggerated to me, more than 3k of videos blocked and internationally, while Nintendo does not give any official solution
-
🌸Mona~ 🧚♀️ (@LucinaPeach) reported@DudeInkling But that just let's them keep doing their ****. But it's even worse when most of Nintendo's problems solely come from there America branch, and not the real Nintendo themselves. Nintendo JP does care about their fans. So that's the thing that hurts.
-
LoudToon99 (@LoudToon99) reported@W789Kyle @PAMVLLO Except Nintendo schedules their announcements in advanced. Activision just uses their brands like Crash on social media whenever their situation gets worse.
-
Lj (@Lj20785585) reported@EAHelp Hello my son got Fifa22 nintendo switch for Christmas,he has never been able to access the online content,keeps getting an EA error message. How can this be resolved pls?He wants to complete the tasks and get Ronaldo into the Manchester United team. Thanks
-
karma2021 (@karma20215) reportedTheir games anymore. I know EA will say we will get t Him back as a customer. No you won’t. Microsoft is getting Call of Duty and they will fix that broken games. Because companies like Nintendo, Sony, and Microsoft care. They have more on the line compared to these crooked
-
atun (@trashdraggn) reportedwhen will y'all fix that pixelating glitch on acnh designs @nintendo
-
That Person (@random0_0_) reported@RonaldSDean They also need to stop releasing sub-par consoles like the Wii with broken 480p processing, and the Switch which couldn't even run their killer-app (BotW) at a locked 30 fps. Even though the Nintendo 64 aged poorly, it seems to me like the project was of higher quality.
-
patrick (@patricknotirl) reportednintendo wii broken
-
THE CrapGamer (@The_CrapGamer) reported@DeathSkry Yea, I mean he's right on some points imo. Sony and Nintendo can't afford to do day one games in a service and lose all that money. MS is in a position where they can lose money and not worry.
-
King ******* (@LordofPoyos) reported@SolScribbles so if the reanimated collab was taken down by this fake Nintendo why would they do it if that was the case? if it's the bot doing its thing that's another thing but if it's some Nintendo bootlicker ******* that's doing it then there's a problem question is why would they do it
