  • Sam53731695 Sam (@Sam53731695) reported

    @FortniteStatus Fix the nintendo switch locker disable shuffle glitch. plz epic

  • He1_H0 ِ (@He1_H0) reported

    @vrgeta3201 @MLFoxwell I mean yeah that's good. But my point is that Nintendo is far behind. They should've had that from the start. And that's not even the main issue at hand. It's just so slow. One second of in-game time can take a few seconds of real time

  • danhughesartist Daniel Hughes (@danhughesartist) reported

    @Respawn @PlayApex Does this fix include how Nintendo Switch matches do not count? Because that has been happening since it’s release and as a matter of fact happened to me again yesterday…

  • SF_Raiden crono (@SF_Raiden) reported

    Yeah, screw it. I'll just wait until Nintendo fixed the camera control problem in Skyward Sword before I buy it. Just add in a control scheme with B-button sword attacks and right stick camera control. None of this "holding down the L-trigger to control the camera" bs.

  • Ram_SobertZ Sam (@Ram_SobertZ) reported

    @thebageldoctor i also think it'll be the SMT protagonist I don't think Chief deserves a slot in all honesty since Halo has never, and will never, appear on a Nintendo console. I would want either Dr. Eggman or Crash

  • rjc_uk Robert Cathles 🇪🇺🏳️‍🌈 (@rjc_uk) reported

    The controls - especially flying - in #SkywardSwordHD are complete garbage. It's worse than the skateboard controls in Spyro Reignited. Nintendo, you need to fix this. It's seriously bad. I should not have to be fighting the game to play it. Even the "Help" is incomplete.

  • PrettiSami Samuel Adams (@PrettiSami) reported

    @AndyKluthe @NintendoAmerica Now let’s see who the real villain behind the E.M.M.I. problem is! *pulls off the villains mask* oLd MaN rIdLeY?!?!

  • TheRetroKaiju RetroKaiju (@TheRetroKaiju) reported

    @CaptainNwa1ps @Kotaku @RiversFlags No, you're the biggest boot licker because you tell people that you can just simply buy another pair when most people don't even have half that money to spare the Nintendo right now. When they clearly have a problem of drift, and you choose to actively ignore it. Boot licker.

    @8LivesVideoS @NintendoAmerica I moreso see it as the Chozo trying to bring in a natural predator to this invasive species but the natural predators eventually became an even worse form of the invasive species. Kinda like a fictional version of Australia's Cane Toad problem.

  • HumbayNoob Humbay (@HumbayNoob) reported

    @Zer0Mod Maybe but most likely not since all the songs i havent made covers of i have had alot of trouble with Also cut content is a gf cutscene before stupid nintendo games and a rex jumpscare meant to be used somewhere as a joke If theres more i cant remember it from the top of my head

  • TheRealKC4203 KC4203 (@TheRealKC4203) reported

    @RayanMolina1 @RealJanTheMan @NintendoCoLtd I am sore because I was foolish enough to fall for the false hype of this company. People that just accept that Nintendo dose bare minimum are the problem. I don't expect it's to be as powerful ps5 or the new Xbox but 4k is because the new normal, and 1080p looks bad on 4k.

  • nintendonomics Nintendonomics (@nintendonomics) reported

    Final thoughts on Switch OLED: OLED is less of a profit-margin play and more Nintendo is committed to refreshing the Switch family as tech and by doing so they can try to avoid peak hardware sales which is a problem every console maker has historically run into.

  • Aperink64 Max (@Aperink64) reported

    @KawlunDram I swear, so many Nintendo fans are ******* delusional and have a weird problem with romanticizing the past and ignoring the problems we lived through: (Bad full priced games, YT Partner program, abandoning consoles near the end of their shelf life, etc).

    @mario_adv2nture @Locke_PSB @NintendoAmerica That sounds like your problem lol

  • william94592320 william (@william94592320) reported

    its not dream causing the problem its the dream stans causing the problem stop sending death treats to Awesome Nintendo facts he doesn't deserve to be bullied online like this if i was a dream stan i would stop talking and leave the community nobody deserves hate or death threats

  • frogulor Frogulor (@frogulor) reported

    @TheVitoShow or just sent it to nintendo and they fix it for feee

  • TheUncleAlShow Un Cleal (@TheUncleAlShow) reported

    @Yellowflower42 @DarkHeartNick I thought that might be the issue at first, but when I try to press the red button on the console to connect the gamepad, it comes up with an error message and requires me to restart the console, every time. Other people who had this problem had to send it to Nintendo.

  • perov88 GABRANTH 🇷🇺 (@perov88) reported

    @Mizzah_Tee I didn't think it was a big enough issue, its the Nintendo haters making it a bigger issue than what it is.

  • gamergalmilla Milla (@gamergalmilla) reported

    @So_Ethereal Nintendo will probably localise this if it gets a worldwide release at this point. part of the issue is there's references to an unlocalised manga that's required to understand the story in this title too. Just another way level-5's multimedia approach has harmed them.

  • LoveDegradation Morbitesse 🥀 (@LoveDegradation) reported

    I wanna play games so fookin bad but I'm afraid of getting in the middle of something and having to go help my mom 💀 Nintendo switch pls charge >,< At least with that I can shut it off and come back no problem

  • Happy_Hiram 🦤😂Hap (@Happy_Hiram) reported

    @PinkoPatriot @T4YPodcast UBI can’t replace TANF (welfare.) More 💰 out of mother’s in crisis so 20 something singles can afford Nintendo or whatever it’s called this week isn’t progress. Consumerism is a Ponzi scheme. The alternative to overconfidence is crash. Europe put austerity & is still struggling

  • bryanjedi82 Bryan (@bryanjedi82) reported

    @ZenGraphics_ The 3DS was also riddled with ports and remakes from various consoles. Nintendo’s online problems have been there from the very start except now you just pay 20 bucks a year.

  • CaptainNwa1ps CaptainNwa1ps (@CaptainNwa1ps) reported

    @TheRetroKaiju @Kotaku @RiversFlags Then send them into Nintendo for free to be fixed/replaced. Again many option to fix a small problem

  • machinavillage Robin - Xenogears spoilers (@machinavillage) reported

    @fairychao also since printing the cards is sooo much easier than the figurine, i dont know why nintendo doesnt give a cheap nfc card option? that would be cool and would alleviate some of the stock issues.

  • ExpansionLord Ryusoulger (@ExpansionLord) reported

    @AboutNintendo Twitter has a massive generalization problem, people think every Nintendo fan buys and eats up everything they put out but a good chunk of them actually give genuine legitimate criticism while still being supportive of the company.

  • 71ives ☁️ delta🌙☁️ (@71ives) reported

    THE CARDBOARD DIDN'T FIX THE DRIFT A 2ND TIME **** NINTENDO MAN LOL

  • Zorpolar Zorpolar (@Zorpolar) reported

    @jvtmth I also play SAR with Nintendo Switch Pro Controller, I only suffered from drift once and I fixed it at home, if you have experience opening controls I think you could fix it forever

  • ChrisMRUFC Chris (@ChrisMRUFC) reported

    @Sadeness0 @NintyPrime Problem with that is it will leave loads of OLED models unsold people will ether buy the top quality or the normal version in that case, Nintendo knows it’s audience they know that parents will buy kids cheap lite or if they have more than one kid regular switch & the game addict

  • Mizzah_Tee Mizzah Tee (@Mizzah_Tee) reported

    @PlayerEssence @ShadowFoxArche I understand how the lawsuit complicated things. But there is nothing stoping them from producing “joycon pro” where these issues don’t happen. Surely they know it’s a problem now. To continues selling joycon is willful intent, negligence, and just un-Nintendo.
