  • deem_team9 Loopo the Wolff (@deem_team9) reported

    @NintendoAmerica Windows 95 is a better system than the switch. Not to mention @Microsoft customer service actually responds. #Nintendont

  • DaphneRichBitch Daphne Blake (@DaphneRichBitch) reported

    //damn Nintendo....fix your damn servers

  • zant6304 Zant6304 (@zant6304) reported

    @AidenRS139 The problem is that Nintendo doesn’t care about anything past the Super Nintendo. Mario’s 35th Anniversary was an exception.

  • agentsukonbu 🌸 𝒿𝓊𝓇𝒾 🌸 kniroun hell (@agentsukonbu) reported

    Nvm. Their streaming service is separate from the nintendo online membership i think 😭

  • lyndonstb Lyndon (@lyndonstb) reported

    @NintendoUK I’m having problems adding funds to my account with ANY credit card/debit card and also with PayPal. Is there any issues?

  • lo_velour LoVelour (Is Kind of a Freakinn' Ridiculous HO 🥴) (@lo_velour) reported

    Nintendo randomly deleted my SSBU Fighters Pass Vol. 2... and now if i want it back, i have to shell out another $40. even though we resolved the issue concerning this product a month ago. that's nice. thanks.

  • NerdGroovy NerdGroovy (@NerdGroovy) reported

    Theory: Nintendo puts out games on the NES and SNES Switch Online thing so slowly because they have one single person responsible for preparing those old games for the service, and that person is allowed to prioritize other things, so they rarely ever get around to working on it.

  • Joshweiser22 Joshua Simon (@Joshweiser22) reported

    @emilie_ormsby omg that sucks. I've had good experiences with Nintendo fixing things in the past so hopefully they can fix yours soon :(

  • AxstroDarther Darther (@AxstroDarther) reported

    @PlayApex can you fix crashing games for Nintendo switch please

  • ZiliboSeney Council | SYN | Ziglet (@ZiliboSeney) reported

    So can we all contact nintendo support to fix the ******* buffer system in this game. Auto short hop toggle? Clunky *** video game man.

  • VoidIllusia Void the guardian of Illusia (@VoidIllusia) reported

    @NintendoAmerica Is joycon drift still a major issue?

  • AustinSudomemo ’Austin’ (Sudofox) #LoveLansing (@AustinSudomemo) reported

    @notch 16-digit hex ID, partially hardware-derived. Files signed by common key by the app. All I'm going to say is that it's a fight between security and time. Nintendo probably never saw it as an issue, having a much shorter timeframe for their official service.

  • chantheman1998 Chan’s Fury (@chantheman1998) reported

    I was able to fix the pro controller by resetting the console and resyncing it. I fixed the drift also in the joycons because I don’t want to send my **** to Nintendo. Annoying as hell that my switch lite and OG switch don’t have issues but the new one does.

  • HendersonRamir1 Henderson Ramirez (@HendersonRamir1) reported

    @balanwworld On Nintendo Switch, you should put more effort into the developers and spend more time on design. Balan Underowords game looks so horrible, fix the program as an update. Note. Capcom with his game Monters Hunter Rise beat all the companies and prove that the console has power.

  • Blue06_ssb Blue06 (@Blue06_ssb) reported

    Got a really cool stock but then nintendo online said "nah u ain't saving this replay" and made me disconnect randomly bruhhhhhh fix online please

  • fromthe90210 Azul🌻 (@fromthe90210) reported

    @idroppedtears It’s so hard to get a character into elite smash because of all the BS in quick play. I wish Nintendo cared to fix it.

  • luisteloarriaga Luis Arriaga (@luisteloarriaga) reported

    @MojangSupport hi there! I have an error with my son's account, can't access the store or online servers. Switch with active Nintendo online account. Thanks

  • The_OmegaX TE | Omega X (@The_OmegaX) reported

    Did Nintendo intentionally nerf online in this patch? If not are they ever gonna fix it?

  • MarioFanatic64 Scott | MarioFan64 (@MarioFanatic64) reported

    I often wonder why Nintendo seems so ignorant of game preservation, but now I realize why. CIB Japanese games are often only worth a quarter of even loose international versions. The Japanese aftermarket is so flooded that there's no issue at all to acquire old games.

  • BaconIsSoNice Nibbles (@BaconIsSoNice) reported

    @RatedMJ @AidenRS139 There is literally no reason this couldn’t happen. If Nintendo's having trouble porting GameCube games to Switch, we've failed as a society

  • queen_nanika Six Hands of Fateshaping | ACAB | 18+ Only (@queen_nanika) reported

    @JimSterling **** like this is why we laugh at people saying "digital releases are better and more convenient" not realizing that when the service shuts down, buckles, or they get banned, everything they "own" is gone. it's happened with nintendo twice already, has happened with movies. sad.

  • segaswirl drega 🌠 (@segaswirl) reported

    @ImBubbaSor @dark1x @Stupacabra well there's your problem, you're only playing Nintendo games. you're in a box.

  • Mairon_Maiden M a i r o n (@Mairon_Maiden) reported

    @ZebraQuake Tfw the official nintendo site doesn’t even have this kind of error listed

  • NOTSmoII SmallFry🍰 (@NOTSmoII) reported

    @VineJuices They are big companies after all Free melee or ban nairo wouldn’t pose any threat to them at all, they are not losing anything by not passing through the trouble of unbanning nairo, much less nintendo I just wish they realized what they could be winning by listening

  • TheMulletBird Mullet Bird (@TheMulletBird) reported

    @ATVIAssist despite being able to log into my activision account on the website, I still seem unable to in my switch copy of crash 4 it's about time, I've even unlinked and relinked my nintendo account and it still wont allow me to sign in for activision skins

  • potatosan45 potatosan🧋 (@potatosan45) reported
