  • sweetheartkkoo rae⁷ 🖤 (@sweetheartkkoo) reported

    i rlly have to send my joycons to Nintendo bc they’re not working properly anymore 💀

  • cavespider386 Cave (@cavespider386) reported

    @_KOPEW @keithjohnstack Nintendo has always been behind the industry, graphically and with practices. But yes, service like stuff is popping up with Nintendo. Mario Golf Super Rush has had 2 major free content updates post launch, which is kind of scary for such a bland game.

    nintendo wii broken

  • 100morelives Celusid (@100morelives) reported

    Well my switch bricked a week ago. I want it to be fixed, but last time I tried to get you to fix my switch you failed, twice. @NintendoAmerica @NintedoSupport

  • SanIgnacio02 San Ignacio (@SanIgnacio02) reported

    @EpicnessOnCrack @Exceptionalboi @w00t000 They dont, slander and the likes litigation have such a high bar, they can just say “it was a system error that approved it adm Nintendo request” and run with it.

  • Benthepigg Nah 🅱️ (@Benthepigg) reported

    @PointManKhan @keithjohnstack Those seem to all be Nintendo problems with their management, not actual console problems besides I guess joycon issues

  • justin_plaatje Justin Plaatje (@justin_plaatje) reported

    So my Bubble Gloop Swamp for Banjo Kazooie on #Nintendo Switch is broken. All notes and Jinjos that I've collected are put back when I re-enter the level. Any one else getting this?

  • IGNWTF What IGN thinks is worse than Fortnite (@IGNWTF) reported

    @DazzlingDazzaD Xbox owning Crash and Spyro PlayStation buying Bungie Nintendo taking down 3,500 of Gilva’s videos

  • JeffPowerBaby Jeff Power (@JeffPowerBaby) reported

    @juneshinchu I hope they nintendo fix it!

  • E1ven_Lord Elven_Lord {PhD} (@E1ven_Lord) reported

    @sargeabernathy @AmazonHelp Right so I just got off the phone, apparently everything is working as intended on their end. The issue is...distribution from Nintendo is lacking? So the assistant is going to try to escalate the issue and call me back about it. So we'll ******' see if anything comes outta it.

  • spicybread5 AceRetro (@spicybread5) reported

    @NXRazzalyn @GGMcAllen1138 I never complained about $5-10 VC title back when the Wii was relevant. That's fine as long as the emulation is perfect or at least close to it. The problem now is that Nintendo now wants us to pay even more for faulty roms that we can't even keep. It's not even a step forward

  • Jeffry97954560 Jeffry (@Jeffry97954560) reported

    @UbisoftSupport Hello! I just purchased Just Dance 2022. I tried to login to my UBISOFT account from my Nintendo Switch to get my Unlimited Just Dance free trail but I wasn't able to. It states that "UBISOFT is unavailable at the moment, please try again later."

  • AmberIsAQT Amber 🏳️‍⚧️ (@AmberIsAQT) reported

    @HylianHero98 I'm still salty about my switch lite getting drift 3 months after buying it and then Nintendo taking 4 months to fix it, only for it to break again like a week later also **** 3d allstars

  • sgoprime Adam (@sgoprime) reported

    Tried to buy the new Pokemon game from @NintendoAmerica on my Switch and online but keep getting error codes. Will try another time

  • Vet_infin ⛰️Vet 🍃 (@Vet_infin) reported

    Nothing wrong if you like the Switch btw. But personally the only thing keeping it away from selling me are the first parties. This console has so many issues that I didn't had with previous Nintendo systems. Enough to say I have wasted over $200 fixing my joycons lol

  • ALonerGuy995 ダビエル | CEO of Weeb Army (@ALonerGuy995) reported

    Mad that Nintendo can get away with this charging $50/$20 for a online service that's unplayable on certain games yes Mario Kart 8 & Smash Bros is playable but not Mario Party Super Stars. Never touching online for this again.

    @slyn_vulpes @lyleabner @dreaminerryday That sounds like a book written in a really interesting way. See, the horse issue comes in where people aren't wowed by Nintendo making it realistic. People still have problems and the game suffers because of it. If people have less fun, it's not a good thing.

  • zmeister100 Zmeister100 #AutisticPeopleMatter (@zmeister100) reported

    @Gold_The_Eevee Copyright laws are the issue here. Nintendo has to follow them.

    @detroitotaku @chef_back Here's the problem: Nintendo is infamous for this ****

  • deepbloobersea vivienne 🌙 (@deepbloobersea) reported

    i could so easily be one of those weird nintendo fan twitters who constantly praise the company for no reason and while im at it also maintain that the switch DOESNT have hardware issues because i personally have not experienced joycon drift

  • cinnamonrollcam CinnamonRoll (@cinnamonrollcam) reported

    @KilledByAPixel @chantolove @itchio A lot of platforms have a problem with IP laws (as NF7s markets do), those games are not essential for their bussiness model, but also some fall under the grey areas of IP laws, or are "fair use", Nintendo lawyers could ask itchio to take them down if they become a big deal.

  • lokiwhule Lokiwhule (@lokiwhule) reported

    @ExpandDong15 To play devils advocate, this is not YouTube fault over a broken system this time. Nintendo technically has the legal rights to remove gilva's content. Does it make it right morally though? Helllll no ffs Nintendo just release your ******* music somewhere already.

  • Le202nard Leonard (@Le202nard) reported

    @theliamnissan But he wants us to think Nintendo and porn are the problems.

  • zmeister100 Zmeister100 #AutisticPeopleMatter (@zmeister100) reported

    @GuildedGuy Nintendo has to obey copyright laws. Those laws are the issue here.

  • KurriTweets Kurri ★ Pushin 🅿️ (@KurriTweets) reported

    I'm not even saying stop buying nintendo. You can still buy their products and still have a **** them attitude. The issue is, I know nintendo desperately want to still view them as the good, wholesome, friendly company and not video game disney

  • Crash49676428 Crash (@Crash49676428) reported

    @bandicootpage All of them except for the hand held Nintendo crash games

  • VaxxedJesus Vaxxed Brown Jesus Believer ❤️💉🇵🇷 (@VaxxedJesus) reported

    Ronda and Charlotte’s match will suck, to the point that if I were to be there, which I’m not, I would’ve started throwing tomatoes, bricks, pool *****, Nintendo 64’s, ******, and broken XBOX 360 pads.

  • zmeister100 Zmeister100 #AutisticPeopleMatter (@zmeister100) reported

    @NoPulseGames That is wrong. This is an issue with broken copyright laws. Both Nintendo and YouTube are following those laws because they have to.
