@AskSmythsToys hi, I have been trying to contact your customer service department about a faulty Nintendo Switch I purchased in December that has stopped working, but with no success. Please can someone help?

@chuggaaconroy I am really sorry that you have had so many problems with this. Nintendo really should be addressing this issue more. I had to replace mine recently due to really bad drifting issues. Hopefully they will last for some time!

@MikuFutaba4 @NintendoAmerica You’re right, I am not Mr. Tendo, but I am a marketing representative of theirs. If there are any more issues involving the game “Super smash bros. for Nintendo Switch” Please let us know so we can help with them -Nintendo of America Rep.

maybe if I start saying Crash Bandicoot is never getting into Smash, he’ll actually get into Smash. you agree @NintendoAmerica ?

@Mikit0707 It’s still crazy to me that here we can even get a switch with no issue but overseas if Nintendo switches become available it’s like in the news

@suh_Spence @PlayStation If I'm defending Playstation then I'm also defending xbox and Nintendo too, because they all had the same issues. Yes they could see how covid would affect their supply. They could not predict/guarantee how covid would ridiculously affect demand.

@chuggaaconroy @bigYonw @ZeldaUniverse I have a different reason why I bought my Switch Lite, but I have noticed some problems with the left stick starting to, well, stick on some movements, and I am NOT sending it anywhere to get it fixed. Too expensive and I don't trust Nintendo's response at all.

@tiqerbeauty That's awesome nintendo is dealing with a huge class action lawsuit because of the drift issue. I just use my pro controller instead I never use the joycons unless I have to

@MikuFutaba4 @NintendoAmerica We’re sorry for the inconvenience, we will send your problems to Mr. Sakurai as soon as we can. Until the problem is fixed we will no longer sell the game anywhere. Thank you and have a nice day! -Nintendo of America

@NintendoEurope Smash Bros. Now stop being cheap and give us dedicated servers. Thats the only way you're going to get me to sign back up for Nintendo online. I don't pay a premium only to get lag in every match.

@smimblor @HungrySmash @ActualAero they are getting to be like 70-80 bucks and most of the time they are fake copies so its wasting money unless you can guarantee they are real. plus, the nintendo ds wifi service was cut off kn like 2014 meaning itz not as fun with some of the online features not accesible.

@NintendoAmerica Hi! My Mom's copy of ACNH doesn't seem to be able to get the Mario and now the Shamrock stuff despite having the latest update. Is this an issue for the Nintendo Switch Lites possibly?

And after each had a bit of a stinker of a previous release- the Wii U was a marketing disaster, and Skyward Sword wasn't too hot either- either could have and should have broken Nintendo as a whole. And yet, here we are. 4 years later, still playing, wherever whenever. HUZZAH!

@MojangSupport hi, tweeting in to ask if there’s been any updates or additional information regarding the save data bug / red screen of death on the Nintendo Switch version of the game? Many people have been waiting anxiously for a fix as a 30min load time is a bit ludicrous.

@_emmbunn Every company but Nintendo lowers the price of their games after a few years, it’s like a major problem with Nintendo lol

@chuggaaconroy Does Nintendo customer services charge for repairing the joy con drift issue? I know it’s random to ask but I’ve been hesitant about calling if they can resolve that problem.

(@TheAnviil) reported
@art_daimyo @BalrogGameRoom Not illegal since I am not teaching anyone how to do it or selling this service. In some countries the price is beyond absurd, example: in Brasil Nintendo games costs 400 Reais, which is more than $60, in a scenario like this jailbreak and piracy is certain.

@AboutNintendo >"hating nintendo for existing" >"it would be cool if 1 and 3 happened" so you're making fun of people for being upset at things that you also think are problems

@PodcastJump There's a rumor that Nintendo's hosting a live concert after all the DLC is out and the "leaked" list shows songs from Monster Hunter and Crash Bandicoot

@TeamGuardanator @NintendoAmerica The problem with Sora is Disney and Square Enix own him, and that will be extremely hard to convince Disney to put Sora in the game.
