    @goingblack10 @Xanth719 @lubbafac On Nintendo switch, you can change it for free as many times as you want and that problem doesn't occur there.

    @DemeechYT if you send it to nintendo they'll replace or fix it for free

    I have no idea how long it will take but I forgot nintendo will fix your joycons and mine have been extra **** you lately so now we are just waiting

    Since the dawn of 2021 I have broken an oven door, hoover, toaster, Kettle, my phone, freezer handle at work, car door handle, Nintendo DS and the window latch.

    @RealPT1 The problem is that most of Jpn only cares about Jpn. In that vein, I feel like they see 'rollback' as the buzzword of the month. But Nintendo is big enough to not care b/c lets be real, everybody already bought the switch and the game. What power does one think they have here?

    Controller number 12 is dead out of the box That is going on $1000 in one year @NintendoAmerica fix your **** holy **** I should not have half-responsive buttons and game-breaking snapback on 12 $70 controllers in a row

    I remember I had a black original nintendo 3DS when I was around the age of 8-9, and I played it TO DEATH. Literally. The Screen Decapitiated itself. so instead of selling it online for someone to fix and keep like a NORMAL PERSON, I did what any sad 9 year old would do.

    I did not expect the spongebob squarepants movie for Nintendo GameCube to be so hard Also macho karate spin is broken.

    @px_gh0st What's crazy is that its such a simple fix and Nintendo still hasn't fixed it

    @saltcat78 @DemeechYT I’m sorry, in what ******* universe is waiting weeks for a controller to be fixed is deserving of any credit at all? This ****** bandage fix is terrible and Nintendo deserves no praise for doing the bare minimum to “fix” the issue.

  • HatefulGoatery
    Captain Mister Epic (@HatefulGoatery) reported

    @Roomba_gg There have been a few Smash-likes over the years. Obviously devs have wanted to cash in on the strange Nintendo phenomenon. But the problem they've all had is balance. I want to see if this game figures out how to balance before I commit. But TMNT if they do!

  • TheMarcusBro
    Marcus (@TheMarcusBro) reported

    @MetalJesusRocks It was my first Nintendo system that didn’t work day one. It was replaced with no issues. I was kind of shocked on that since my NES, SNES, N64 etc.. all worked perfect day one & still strong to this day.

  • Furlyghost661

    @DemeechYT The joy con drift issues are truly horrendous @NintendoAmerica should be ashamed of themselves

  • Man122Mac
    MacMan122 (@Man122Mac) reported

    @DemeechYT At this point I'm convinced Nintendo is fully aware of the issue and does nothing about it intentionally. There is no way in hell that for almost four years they still haven't found a way to fix a joystick. Good thing pro controllers seem to work just fine.

    @NintendoAmerica Me:you fix the drift problem right? Nintendo:the what?

    I cant log into the E shop or my Nintendo account online because 2 step verification is set up on a device that I no longer use I did not have this problem prior to last weekend. Nintendo did not ask me for the verification prior to last weekend. I am a little heated.

    @ThisIsEmeralds @VahRonica No problem. It was driving me nuts they kept making it look like just handheld because it was such a Nintendo thing to do and wouldn't surprise me if it wasn't supported.

  • Ruxaroh

    @MDCPotter @FergieMIC @NintendoUK I have not used the new store much, but its worked fine for me every time, seems like there are some teething problems though.

  • Brownexcv
    Browne (@Brownexcv) reported

    @RGT_85 The problem was the terrible control, people ***** about the Wii, but the problem wasn't the console, but developers not caring enough to make the games playable with the nunchuk, GameCube and pro controller, the console had so many different input choices and Nintendo wasted it

  • testament101
    Tlol@isolation (70%) (@testament101) reported

    @RealPT1 I think the issue is Nintendo's whole online aspect for switch is just ***. But that's always been Nintendo's thing. They've ALWAYS had subpar consoles and online exp but people still buy their stuff anyway out of brand loyalty. I don't think that's going to change really...

  • PSIMax1
    PSI_Max (@PSIMax1) reported

    @AnishDLS1 @OkiOPoss @DemeechYT Full context; my brother keeps his switch in a Dusty ***** place that would kill any joycons But they are fine 2 and a half years later If Nintendo just stopped selling old ******* stock then this issue would not be as wide spread

    What do you mean I don't have big problem like you. My nintendo lite switch color is yellow

  • StrongMoist

    I don't give 2 shits about the Nickelodeon smash clone but if it actually does well enough to make Nintendo realise they're only succeeding on brand recognition alone and need to properly encourage an online scene and fix their service, I welcome the SpongeBob tourney highlights

  • IntervalHS
    Jordan Meckley (@IntervalHS) reported

    My left joy con for my Switch had the notorious stick drift issue, but I sent it out to them on Friday and it’s already been fixed and being delivered back to me tomorrow! Insane turnaround @NintendoAmerica

  • MetalGearFanGal
    Ariana (@MetalGearFanGal) reported

    @LexGirlBoss @Glldrf4n If there is nothing to improve why do it That’s what I think of some nintendo remasters But yes there are problems I don’t mind it it’s true to the original game so why bother complaining and just enjoy it

  • LugiaFan76
    Ping (@LugiaFan76) reported

    This game makes me so unhappy now I can't get anywhere with brush, k52 is unfun, solo is just stagnant or so volatile that it makes it worthless grinding and knowing Nintendo isn't going to fix anything meaningful I might as well just quit

  • shambrookben
    ben shambrook (@shambrookben) reported

    @Exyt_ @jordy_j_s Honestly I think if it was all Nintendo we'd be getting way better games. I'm not a huge Nintendo fan but they have never been afraid of moneying up their games. The problem is the pokemon company are who technically own pokemon.

    Darside | Commissions Open (@GTSDarside) reported

    @Magoocas Anything online, nintendo really upped up their security and if they detect your switch has an error not seen by normal use or see you running stuff not made by them you WILL get banned. There's homebrew that lets you bypass SOME of the things but you're never 100% safe

  • LiktoGaming

    @Serbaayuu @NintendoAmerica yea same thing happened with the original. people didn't bother to try to understand how to use the wii motion plus properly and then complained that the controls were broken. it's funny actually
