@NintendoAmerica do you plan on making Scarlet/Violet Tera Raids actually playable?! I’ve had three in a row glitch out on me now! The last one was a KO, it was @ ZERO HEALTH but time glitched out & it got away!! This is so disappointing & frustrating to see from the franchise…

@Sigilynk But with Xenoblade, the curse was broken. With Nintendo's full backing, a masterpiece was made, and a beloved franchise was actualized. My teenage self, playing Xenogears in 1999, is screaming "I TOLD Y'ALL"

@Avarith_Grey One reason I stick with Nintendo, especially now I got my own little gaming PC: They got serious problems of their own, but with their hardware, they always at least try to make it more than just an underpowered PC or tablet.

@NintendoAmerica I deleted or archived games for the switch so my kids can download fortnite… We didnt have enough space for Fortnite, so now, when we try to put ANY game card in, we get a read error.. How can we fix? TY

@NintendoUK My brother-in-law received a Nintendo Switch for Christmas. My partner who is her brother is 9 years old. We will be setting parental control for him. When we log in for the first time on the console, do we use my partner's login details or the child's?Really confused

@ProChara Also, Crab is the worst offender of any special currently, and it's still not nearly as broken as even Armor was in 2. In high level play, yes, it's three ***** and Tenta, but in S and S+ (which IMO is what Nintendo should be balancing around first and foremost) it's really not-

@ThatWolfWizard Idk if it’s from size based hardware limitations or if Nintendo just thinks it’s passable but their handling of basically every online service they run makes me feel like it’s the latter

@ZON02590579 @Xbox_Nati0n @JayDubcity16 Its been obvious for a while, but then again I should be able to see the patterns a mile off gaming since 1991. Problem is MS want to keep the flames fanned and Sony won't have another gaming company slap then in the face like Nintendo did.

@283_mr @nintendolife Even though, it's required to have an online account in order to play any of Nintendo's retro games via NSO. Meaning that once the service is discontinued like shut down, that's it, you can't play those games anymore. Complete utter bullshit!

It's amazing how Pokémon Violet is more broken at launch than Cyberpunk 2077 (at least on Stadia) and yet they get away with it because Pokémon/Nintendo.

@Gentso09 @alexandr_wang Yeah — I’m sure Nintendo was thinking about instant gratification when they built Zelda, a game that takes 80 hours to complete with a several decades long story line. It sparks creativity, problem solving, exploration, coordination, and imagination.

Nintendo continuing to miss all the tricks in not working with Fizzi to implement this into a melee port or introduce a proper tanked for ultimate (but first improving the dreadful online that that game has)
