Damn I really want to play Kid Icarus Uprising but my 3DS bhas been broken for a while and I have no way of playing it other than an emu. If only it was on the Nintendo Switch so I could experience the game in an even more fantastic way. Hint. Hint. Nudge. Nudge. Wink. Wink.

@NintendoAmerica it's been almost a week since the broken patch came out on Switch, making downloads stop working for a large portion of your player base. Is there any plan to acknowledge or fix this soon?

temporary fix. Obviously this isnt ideal and Nintendo needs to release an actual fix, but still.

@Foxo_Commando Even if that wasn’t the case, activision is hella strict w their characters and to have crash included in the game would cost Nintendo a fortune to include

Who else thinks @NintendoAmerica internet service sucks? A download error going on nearly a week and all we get from customer service is 'try again later'. How about fixing the issue so we can update and purchase games? Why doesn't Nintendo like money?

The fact that Nintendo still hasn't fixed the download problem with 12.0.3 is actually pissing me off Jesus christ

@Necksplitter The problem is since Nintendo combined their console and handheld divisions they can now sell what would traditionally be a $30 game marked up at traditional “home” console game prices. sidebar— Metroid Dread was originally a Nintendo DS game dating back to 2007

@G2A_com The problem with Cyberpunk is not its"Rush Release" they promised mechanics that are no more than a year from release.Nintendo does things very badly,but what they did with Metroid 4 is what CD Project had to do "a delayed game is eventually good but a rushed game is forever bad"

@Dejimon11 Oh, I *absolutely* count Terry. I was considering tweeting an addendum for him. If we could only get Crash, we could have a proper Nintendo v SEGA v SNK v Microsoft v Sony brawl. All we’d be missing is Bonk, and arguably Master Chief would be better for Xbox.

@DuctTapeJake @OiliestNoods the problem with doing that is it incentivizes hoarding of specific weapons (ABSOLUTELY OFF THE TABLE) and makes it more frustrating when a situation-specific weapon breaks when you want it. i'm willing to bet Nintendo already tried this in playtesting.

In 1999, Sakurai had stated that Banjo & Kazooie were unlikely due to legal and financial reasons, because Rare was second party Nintendo, and had only 49% ownership of the UK studio While the legal issue have was true for others Rare franchises, Banjo-Kazooie was a Nintendo IP!

@wigglywou1 @TheBruh01434749 @NintendoAmerica Overall the game is really quite good I'd say, not the top echelon of the series but most of the hate seems to come from people who've only heard about the games problems and never actually played it.

@DaYoshiMan89 I hope it's Crash. He really needs be in it to duke it out with Mario and kick Sonic's ***. (Get it?) If it's another 1st party rep. like Fire Emblem again. Fans are gonna go insane that Nintendo (not Sakurai, who's aware of this) isn't paying attention of the fandom's concerns.

The problem with Nintendo Direct was that they didn't show Yo-kai Watch 4 because the fan base in the west isn't big enough. 😓😪

@Nathanrollsones Who ******** would I be vaguebooking at? If I have a problem with someone they'll know it. I have a gripe with internet criticism going back to negativity passed off as criticism that the Angry Nintendo Nerd popularized when others missed the nuance of his performative element.

@NintendoAmerica #tryagainlater my *** fix your network. 0 communication about this, all forms of your customer "support" saying the saying thing check your router setting/try again later. **** you it's been a week and it's still not fixed and it the only device with an issue.

@MiiCostumeGuy @NintendoAmerica 5 ain't "kinda" pathetic. It IS pathetic. That was a problem in Super Mario Party and they knew it. $60 for old 5 maps and old mini games? I can't be surprised, it is Nintendo after all. Let's just hope they learn from their mistakes.

(@_Vampragon43_) reported
@SephirothVlogs @TriforceZard @NintendoAmerica The problem is that every single fighting game's main protagonist is generic brawler man no. 547, and people enjoy unique character designs that deviate from the norm. That's why so many people hate Fire Emblem, and why so many people request characters like Master Chief, etc.

Hey @NintendoAmerica I think you need to fix the Switch/eShop…. Tired of trying to download my things only to get caught in an endless loop of it not working.
