    At this point, if @Apple ain’t going to drop a radically new phone, at least fix the damn charger/changing situation. Feel like I’m back in the 80’s blowing on my Nintendo games. #lightningsucks #youhadonejob

  • SlylokYouTube Slylok (@SlylokYouTube) reported

    @DisneyDLV I pre-ordered the $70 version for my GF as a surprise. Since I bought it on my Nintendo account (to keep it secret) she cannot claim all of the rewards on her profile. Can we get a fix for that or did I just waste money? No other games we have lock rewards in this way.

  • EeniThesian66 Eeni Thesian 🐙 Proud Takodachi (@EeniThesian66) reported

    @PS4Revolution @GoobyPls89 I didn't realize being a worthless father whose more obsessed with harassing microsoft and nintendo employees then caring for his own kids is a "service" No wonder sony loves you guys. You will do anything they want with no questions asked.

    nintendo wii broken

  • KingWillex King Willex (@KingWillex) reported

    @MarioDiamondYT @OreoSpeedwgn @IGN So your Issue with steam is invalid and Your attention's for nintendo is corrupted cause all your doing is having to support is a waiste of time when Nintendo them selves are doing you all wrong.

  • neon_rainbows85 Jackie (@neon_rainbows85) reported

    @DisneyDLV Hello, trying to report an error to saving to the cloud to claim rewards but when completing this form, I'm not sure where to find the Player ID on the Nintendo Switch

  • muzdbuz MuZ (@muzdbuz) reported

    @thePretzelJones If I want to play console versions of Halo, Forza, Gears or any other Xbox Studio game, I must have an Xbox to do that. If I want to play Zelda, Mario or any other Nintendo franchise, I need to get a Nintendo console... I have no issue with that, as I don't have an issue with PS.

  • TheCraftOfGames Fernando Cid Tio (@TheCraftOfGames) reported

    I find it really weird that people only have problems with 3rd party exclusives games when they’re for PlayStation, but not when they’re for Xbox & Nintendo. You never see the same eagerness for 3rd party exclusive to release on other consoles. People where literally begin (1/?)

  • AgentRedShirt AgentRedShirt (@AgentRedShirt) reported

    @kutdownOngaming @Puertorock77_ That’s actually incorrect. They stuck with cartridges for the Nintendo 64, the problem is there’s not enough space on them for FF7. Not in it’s released state. That’s why they went to Sony. CDs hold 10 times the storage that N64 cartridges could.

  • lunggwai lunggwai | RDC6 🌈 (@lunggwai) reported

    @stedeisms Indeed, where would the ***** go here? Wouldn't they just sort of crash into each other and/or the hard edges of this Nintendo Frot?

  • ciaranunite Ciarán (@ciaranunite) reported

  • momsagainstNFTs Leveret (@momsagainstNFTs) reported

  • Yvendous Yvendous (@Yvendous) reported

    @NintendoAmerica Taking "no shirt no shoes no service" to another level cuz there's no pants store

  • novaisscreaming nova (@novaisscreaming) reported

    @eggydroppy hasnt nintendo fixed the problems with procontrollers? you should probably get those pluse theyre ergonomically better than regulare switch controllers

  • Richard__Aaron Richard Aaron 🇺🇸 🇧🇷 🇯🇵 (@Richard__Aaron) reported

    @AidenRS139 I can’t keep up with all the games because I like to 100% every game. Nintendo has just been killing it with steady first party releases, plus all the third party games in my queue. Definitely first world problems.

  • RedHare_NAE RedHare (@RedHare_NAE) reported

    @Mitchell9878 @NintendoAmerica you are the problem

  • LocalShuii Shuii (@LocalShuii) reported

    @NintendoAmerica If n-zap 89 isn't in splat3 then I'm in trouble cause I hate the other n-zaps and I don't have a backup main

  • SOLagility Matt (@SOLagility) reported

    @wgmidiot @GhostfaceNFT bro the online service for nintendo is so ******* trash, good luck

  • ljaesch Lesley Aeschliman (@ljaesch) reported

    Any users of Crunchyroll's Nintendo Switch app also having issues with subtitles disappearing without any reason? This has happened to me three times over this past week.

  • MeierStacie Stacie Meier (@MeierStacie) reported

    @BLAZKO0901 @Xbox_Series_XS MS could buy them easily. The issue is anti-trust. Since PS is now an American company, I wonder how many know this? They can get buy the anti-issues in Japan. I know Wall Street is expecting them to have to merge with someone to stay with Nintendo and MS, who are both giants.

  • Chizwick Charlie Plays WoW (@Chizwick) reported

    @Its_Jyggy For like 2 hours. I'm very uninterested in Classic, and I just ran through it without too many problems. Felt like I was playing the game on a Nintendo 64 though.

  • eteethree 𝕭𝖚𝖈𝖍𝖆𝖓𝖆𝖓🧾 (@eteethree) reported

    @DarthD0n @Necksplitter Well to correct you their competitors aren’t “kicking their ***”. PS is still outselling xbox and nintendo isn’t really competing. Where are those franchises now? Crash’s supposed new title is a FTP stuck in limbo and Spyro hasn’t gotten anything since.

  • OzKat502 OzKat.TV (@OzKat502) reported

    Hey @NintendoAmerica QA. @NISAmerica submitted a patch fix for their release of Prinny Presents 3 a week ago that fixes an issue all copies are experiencing that stops progression in La Pucelle. A lot of us spent sixty dollars on a game that we can't play. Please hurry up...

  • CheeseJerma Cheese (@CheeseJerma) reported

    nintendo please im so close to lvl 4 but i keep getting communication errors

  • M_Riolu M_ Riolu (@M_Riolu) reported

    @SMTNetwork I was talking to my friends yesterday about how Nintendo should make a third party service similar to PSNow where third parties can dump their classic games on there. For example, og RE1-RE3, Yakuza 1 & 2, og FF games, etc. Just stuff that you can’t get anywhere else-

  • frandlewandle Frandle (@frandlewandle) reported

    @rjbeasterw98 @Nintendo Ain't gonna lie this is just common with oled screens and they are not going to fix it

  • samantham090719 Samantha Marie (@samantham090719) reported

    @NintendoAmerica your Mariokart online game is bullshit literally fix it

  • SixCat2006 Six (@SixCat2006) reported

    Why Nintendo people have to complain about the voice actors in the new Mario movie? It isn't the voice actors that are the problem, if the Mario is bad, it'll be bad, but if it's good, it'll be good and that's that. Stop complaining Nintendo fans!

  • trashrangoon dumbass.com (@trashrangoon) reported

    I don’t want to fix the relationship with my parents I want to play Nintendo

  • CritsKrieger CritsKrieger (@CritsKrieger) reported

    Nintendo is going to be discontinuing all support for the 3DS. @Pokemon is creating games that no longer support all of the Pokemon they've created. Some of those 'mon can only be caught on a 3DS game. See the problem going forward?
