    @GenosPapa I've just given up hope on having our last 2 fighters be big. I've come to accept that Nintendo is just gonna add a Pokemon or something no matter how much everyone wants Crash or anyone else lol

  • NeilHoward84 Neil Howard (@NeilHoward84) reported

    @creazynuts @nintendolife The issue returned for me a few hours afterwars, I had to do another reboot. It's still obviously a problem, I'm surprised by the lack of statement from Nintendo.

  • JiriHazekk Jiří Hazekk (@JiriHazekk) reported

    Two connection losses and one complete game crash during horrible lag since I posted that tweet (half an hour ago). Guess I'll screw #PSN and quit my PS+ and go for #XBox or #Nintendo instead.

  • BarnesFlam Barnes the Grey Sleeping Tail 🐿️✨ (@BarnesFlam) reported

    If Netflix can't stand Activision, what make you think Nintendo would be able? Just to add Crash in Smash? lol

  • TurcotteGage Turcotteboi (@TurcotteGage) reported

    @TaylorSwitch64 Besides hoping for Crash Bandicoot, I wonder if one of them is another 1st party Nintendo character? 🤔

  • TheTurkeyKing15 ZTtheTurkeyKing (@TheTurkeyKing15) reported

    @NintendoAmerica Please fix the servers, we can’t download games if some of the servers are down

  • SparkleD0g 🏳️‍⚧️Felicity!!!🏳️‍⚧️ (@SparkleD0g) reported

    hope nintendo fixes their latest patch issues (not being able to download anything) in time for the direct. they almost always release something that's "available for download now!" which will mean nothing if you can't actually download anything

  • RexForSmashUlt gaming (@RexForSmashUlt) reported

    @LocalSTANDOUSER @NintendoAmerica they just have to make the second character Helix and they would have no problems making them completely different

  • haotb_twit HeartAttackOnTheTwitBun (@haotb_twit) reported

    @NintendoAmerica Again, Crash will not be in Smash… or will he?

  • ipepsi_co iPepsi_ (@ipepsi_co) reported

    @AzureSkySM @KiiraHedgehog My top 5 favorite games are all PlayStation exclusives I loved Nintendo back then and after looking at their ****** practices and the fanbase, I have no problem giving Sony my money because they actually put care into the things they put out

  • PownicMania5000 PownicMania (@PownicMania5000) reported

  • diamondmythos Diamond Mythos (@diamondmythos) reported

    Put ff6 on the nintendo online snes service nintendo you cowards

  • fuckshitstreet Caution: Emits Showers of Sparks (@fuckshitstreet) reported

    Soooo it turns out not only is the firmware a problem but on further investigation my sd card i bought is fake and has considerably less space than advertised and has terrible speeds. Just bad nintendo gaming all round from that

  • Suspectamogus Sus (@Suspectamogus) reported

    @DinoNuggetsXD @NintendoAmerica What a unrealistic board. The best rows for viability would be #4 down, 3 across or diagonal down from top left, but all of them rely on something quite outlandish to balance the average picks (Arms, crash, pokken)

  • crowary_ ben 🪶 pkmn (@crowary_) reported

    @captainrobonoid HIRE US POKEMON @/nintendo please i'll fix your card game that you ruined

  • xxSOULNeMeSiSxx ♠SouL♠️ (@xxSOULNeMeSiSxx) reported

    @ghostOfFusay @Darrenstwitter @xMBGx Unfortunately a big part of investors is already jumping into the service games/portal movement. Ubisoft declared to make mor f2p games, Activision and EA more and more. These studios are predestined to be on GP. I'm still glad for Sony/Nintendo exist

  • DurealTV Chris / Dureal (@DurealTV) reported

    Plans for tomorrow: - Getting my 2nd Covid shot - Stream Bloodborne - Watch the Nintendo E3 Direct with chat It's possible I'll get super tired again because of the vaccine. Shouldn't be too much of an issue though.

  • BabiesPeople PeopleEatingBabies (@BabiesPeople) reported

    @MojangSupport i recently got minecraft on my Nintendo Switch, the game only let's me play on servers after I join one of my own worlds then leave it, an when I try to play on the hi e it gets an error trying to download stuff.
