  @TimeKuro I can't download anything because Nintendo broke my machine with their last system update I'm awaiting a fix.

  @Pastelfrown @NintendoAmerica Genuine question: why do people want crash? I don't think his moveset would be very interesting same as banjo

  @spiffyomar @xXxPantheonxXx @NintendoAmerica The problem there is that the Gamecube boards (excluding 4) play quite differently than the N64 boards

  ok just dance 2022 not only does NOT have a Nintendo Wii port, but also has a subscription service for songs??? It's not Dance Central 3 so I don't care

  Just a thought: What if Nintendo had a service to play their games? It would be basically a copy of Xbox Game Pass / PSNow, you could play new exclusives at a discount? Seems like a prime opportunity for Nintendo

  Just wondering because it's been happening to me for the past week. Has anyone else been having trouble downloading digital content onto their Switch. I went through all the troubleshooting methods with a Nintendo Support employee and nothing worked.

  A decent enough Nintendo Direct for sure. Surprised we still have one more Smash Character to wait for (please be Crash....) #NintendoDirect

  I am having issues seeing how "Nintendo wiped E3". The Xbox Showcase did a massive part in making E3 somewhat bearable.

  now that kazuya got announced, im not gonna get in much trouble by saying the ivy fans might wanna keep an eye on the next nintendo direct

  So on the Nintendo website, the Zelda Game & Watch will have both English and Japanese versions. That’s pretty neat. The only real problem I have is that they still didn’t add the actual Zelda Game & Watch in it and used Vermin instead. Really dumb.

  @Jimbo_Dandy @AYJAY982 @LiquidHbox I want that and if Nintendo is gonna stay on this smash train I have to see the online reworked I have literal a gig for download speed and I lag and disconnect Far too much it’s ridiculous

  @rex_shadao @TSandwhichmaker I fully believe that Nintendo's designers could solve the Playable Zelda Problem, they are very good at their jobs and also that's not really a problem so much as it is a self-imposed and arbitrary restriction

  @Karbuitt I didn’t get Crash or Dante but I’m more than Satisfied with Kazuya coming to smash tho I would have preferred his son Jin instead. Nintendo killed it this year

  (INSERT FAMOUS ARTIST) But Better (@Rocket_Punches) reported 38 minutes ago

  sold out prior to release and already being scalped at 300% mark up, that locks me out of fast travel. Yes, part of this is storefronts also having fundamental contempt for their customers, but the reason it's a problem is because Nintendo decided to hold a QoL feature hostage.

  @AngryJoeShow I'm sorry, I'm not a content creator, so perhaps I don't know as well, but, where is the problem? The only thing Nintendo didn't allowed was mirroring the direct without commentary or any other input, but, they did allow reactions along side the direct...

  @CookiesEmilyy Mainly because the updates are bare bones, and the game was launched bare bones in order to be run as a games of a service, which is something Nintendo is notoriously bad at. The mobile AC and Mario Kart games have more content than their console counterparts ever will.

  @RandomLegend5 @NintendoAmerica There is a problem with that... Japan is not allowed to sell in any kind of form Mortal Kombat, SSBU being a game from japanese development... yeah, I'll never say there is no chance, but is like lower than Sora.

  @ElmecoA Nintendo could easily have the best retro service available and they just don't, it hurts.

  @PatStaresAt Samus Returns was great. Clearly the problem with Mercury Steam and Castlevania was Konami and the last of an internal Nintendo team co-developing the game.

  @barelyRebecca @NintendoAmerica Nintendo has no obligation to "fix" Super Mario Party. They never promised any updates, but people bought the game assuming there would be for some reason. Even without updates, the game is still fine. Not great, but it doesn't need to be "fixed".

  @NintendoUK What's the point when so many Switch owners can't download games from the store or even update games? Fix it.

  @Keithustus @NintendoAmerica No, at least not for me, might be an issue for others? But I never had a problem with it

  @wondermagenta I knew they were running into problems when Tenc3nt money came into the picture All sounds feasible, honestly being bought by Nintendo would be for the best in a financial situation, I don’t know about creative though

  @yumakaze @JCJRKiller @geoffkeighley So what you're saying is, you made up a bunch of stuff in your head, and are now mad at Nintendo because they didn't do those things? Really sounds like a you issue. Don't get hype about stuff that was never promised.

  @Lowco2525 What's the chance Nintendo didn't allow co-streaming to avoid possible DMCA issues with Just Dance?
