  • chadferdwilliam Chad (@chadferdwilliam) reported

    @Stealth40k interesting we won’t get a Monster Hunter character, thought that was a sure thing. Interesting to see who is next! Probably Crash? The last one will definitely be a Nintendo IP.

  • TheRealDingus Dingus 🇮🇱⁩ (@TheRealDingus) reported

    @NintendoAmerica Yea but where is Crash bandicoot?

  • thesquarescreen BDR (@thesquarescreen) reported

    @_TobyTron_ @IAmBatman666888 I also think you know this talking to me but these are subjective issues that we do make subjective based on the fact that it is a Nintendo which is what kind of fits into what my og post. I’m not saying that they’re all bad, but no other company would walk away as successful.

  • Idk_ask_someone (@Idk_ask_someone) reported

    @dumbdeviantt I mean you should have read the Nintendo terms of service Also don't feel insecure, we all wish our asses could break Nintendo products

  • okandokand ɴɪɴᴛᴇɴᴅᴏʟᴏᴠᴇʀ2007 (@okandokand) reported

    @NintendoAmerica I am not excited about this, no one wanted these two lame characters in smash we all wanted Crash Bandicoot! 😡😡😡

  • Jams_back12 Jam #UnbanNairo (@Jams_back12) reported

    @NintendoAmerica Can’t wait for the crash mii costume

  • HeavyLobster43 HeavyLobster43 (@HeavyLobster43) reported

    @_Luxin We at least got the most badly overdue XC2 tracks and the fighter comes out today. They must either have intractable licensing issues with X music or Nintendo just hates it.

  • Jetscooters Dave™ (@Jetscooters) reported

    I had a dream about a bad video game review of cooking simulator or Nintendo switch. I am fundamentally broken

  • RussianBotHack BruhBot (@RussianBotHack) reported

    @weS_Rank Although knowing Nintendo, they'll keep the drifting controllers, but sell an add-on for $24.99 to fix it.

  • luiedidit 6V (@luiedidit) reported

    @toasteruwuuuu @SirPauer I think you can submit a request to send them to nintendo and they’ll replace or fix them for you but not 100%

  • GetsObsessed Miranda Johns (@GetsObsessed) reported

    When Nintendo admits Joycon drift is a system-breaking problem and vows to fix it, then I’ll be excited about the Switch Pro news.

  • PeterBa19590252 Peter Barnes (@PeterBa19590252) reported

    @NintendoAmerica @Nintendo @NintendoUK my former tweet was meant to refer to #supermariobros35 the game. It terrible service to your paying customers you are taking this game down st the end of the month.

  • FierceOfHyrule Fierce (@FierceOfHyrule) reported

    Not me begging Nintendo to fix the fierce deity outfit in smash bros

  • thatonethere5 thatonethere (@thatonethere5) reported

    @RealBrandonYeo @ModernVintageG It's intrinsic to the technology, unfortunately. Some manufacturers have functions in place to help mitigate this, but it doesn't solve the issue. Especially in extreme cases. Can Nintendo be bothered to deal with cases of burn in? They don't even care about joycon drift.

  • patricknotirl patrick (@patricknotirl) reported

    nintendo wii broken

  • Terry_S_S terri_syvertson (@Terry_S_S) reported

    @TheRileyLittle wrong, crash is not getting into smash as a dlc fighter nor should he,he is owned by Activision and Nintendo doesn't want anything to do with Activision anymore

  • TimoTastic12 Mancake's Biggest Fan (@TimoTastic12) reported

    @FortniteStatus When was the last time a patch was launched for Nintendo Switches? Ages ago. We, the Nintendo Switch users, are either lucky our game doesn't have issues, or Epic is too lazy to fix anything here.

  • GAM3R_WOLF2020 Michael Thomas (@GAM3R_WOLF2020) reported

    @MrGameandTravel @nintenmau5 You can replace a single broken joycon off the Nintendo website you don’t have to buy a set to replace one broken one

  • okandokand ɴɪɴᴛᴇɴᴅᴏʟᴏᴠᴇʀ2007 (@okandokand) reported

    @NintendoAmerica NO ONE WANTED THIS THEY LOOK BROKEN AND THEY ARE GOING TO RUIN THE GAME

  • TDOCBT TDO (@TDOCBT) reported

    @JustAnLED Exactly. Pc guys mostly have higher standards, the issues is the pc guys that are neckbeards and play Loli and Nintendo stuff

  • SaiyanPride45 🇨🇦RedHeartsQC🇨🇦 (@SaiyanPride45) reported

    @Rajoko_ @NintendoAmerica Getting big titty waifu before Crash what a fricking blasphemy

  • Excalibur415 Wandering Soul (@Excalibur415) reported

    @dzorusso @NintendoAmerica and i watch another golden sun game, but we can't have nice things now can we? BOTW wasn't even that good of a game imo. i'm really hoping 2 fixes the issues i had with BOTW, if not i'll be pissed

  • Tomathius Tomathius #PlantGang (@Tomathius) reported

    @ExpandDong15 People who actually think Crash is getting a mii costume are just trying to find ways to downplay Nintendo.

  • idkwhyiwouldnt Todd Trunks (@idkwhyiwouldnt) reported

    @godofwahhhhhh @elementrus @NintendoAmerica That's a problem that staNs have let them know is ok. Even the VC they gave you a discount if you bought the Wii version prior, THAT's one reason it's so weird to me that they are charging brand new game $ for all these ports. As a 3ds & Wii U owner I'm over ports

  • w00t000 woot000 (@w00t000) reported

    @skrubbid @NintendoAmerica yeah i did that once like a couple years ago (there was a glitch on desktop where you could do it on any tweet) and it got my account locked for 24 hours i think those likes get removed after a couple days anyway

  • Anything4Orbs Anything4Orbs (Mario master) (@Anything4Orbs) reported

    @NintendoAmerica Most boring slot in the game. This charcter is nothing but otaku bait. We better get Crash next.

  • Dark_Renwar23 Ghost (@Dark_Renwar23) reported

    @NintendoAmerica when crash ?

  • yggdrasilsaltar AJ (@yggdrasilsaltar) reported

    @borbdead @NintendoAmerica you forgot the broken switch image

  • PedroAndersonCD Pedro (@PedroAndersonCD) reported

    @VC_Pelu @PushDustIn Some leak that in 2022, Nintendo would do a massive livestreamed concert for Smash. Each character would be represented by a song, in order. It was posted prior to Pyra and had XC2 music in it, alongside Crash and... Monster Hunter

  • CitrusD2 🍓🍋シ- ディBLM (@CitrusD2) reported

    @FunkyFujoshi i was talking to a friend about joycon drift stuff and said the only major reason why people should be complaining about it (because if it starts to drift you can send it to nintendo and they'll fix it for free) is the cost
