  • RobbePus Robbe De Pus (@RobbePus) reported

    @elisebby01 All the ( smalle) games like mimisch cap etc on the Nintendo online service :()

  • Zakte Shinta Takeda (@Zakte) reported

    @So_Ethereal yoshi p wanted but he did say when i was at fanfest the memory limit is a big problem so its up to nintendo to actually make a hard revision

  • SvKightlinger Steffen (@SvKightlinger) reported

    @GerberKawasaki 1987 here, my only way of travel was a bicycle as a kid, I had to leave the nintendo on over night to "save my spot". I barely remember pagers back then. Wooden spoon broken on my *** when I talked back. Sheesh my kids got it easy!

  • b2jammer Ben Rose (@b2jammer) reported

    @montybet93 @gamemakerstk That's a fair point. That's not stopping companies (esp. Nintendo) from trying to make emulation illegal, but that's a separate issue.

  • adrianoneil adrian oneil (@adrianoneil) reported

    @GamingKav @NintendoUK It’s flat refusal to allow me to speak to someone higher up is what gets me. Just think it’s poor customer service.

  • daviddakota David Dakota (@daviddakota) reported

    @adrianoneil @NintendoUK Some retailers may take this back directly. I've never had any issues with Nintendo repairs service but haven't had much need to use them recently.

  • TDMorgan03 Trevor Morgan (@TDMorgan03) reported

    Does anybody else have insane trouble purchasing from the @NintendoAmerica online store? It’s so frustrating! 😡 #Nintendo

  • kev_greene Kevin Greene (@kev_greene) reported

    You may wonder why it matters if the creators patent am idea they created. What if Nintendo patented platforms in the 80s? No mega man, no Castlevania, no crash bandicoot. Also no super Mario galaxy or oddesy. Cause there's no reason to innovate.

    @Kamiyoven @NintendoAmerica Now get a ******* non toxic life and actually enjoy the stupid **** in life. Not everything needs to be perfect for it to be good. And you got hit by a ******* 1-1 goomba because you suck at the game. Not because of lag you 9 year old ****. Literally, you sound like my little...

  • COWCATGames COWCAT 🐊 BROK (@COWCATGames) reported

    @TheresThePoint Yes and no. What killed Vita is that it was not sustainable to do big budget games specifically for it. That's why Nintendo did the Switch, they had the same issue supporting home + handheld at the same time. Now it's impossible to do dedicated games for handhelds, can't go back.

  • maxcool69420 max (@maxcool69420) reported

    @Anything4Orbs @NintendoAmerica Are you retarted it’s not them,Nintendo is not a WiFi company if you don’t want lag then get better wifi

  • FumeiCom FumeiCom (@FumeiCom) reported

    I would mostly say it's due to the poor design on Nintendo's part with issues such as the bottom screen scratching the top screen and a little because of these systems mostly being owned by young children.

  • xXxPantheonxXx SmashBro99 (@xXxPantheonxXx) reported

    @raccias @NintendoAmerica Yeah, pokemon and fire emblem have become very bland and boring and no one plays those. If it aint broke dont fix it.

  • plutogenic Plutogenic (@plutogenic) reported

    Y'all, the ac cp collab pricing is not really a cp issue -- that is definitely a Nintendo being money greedy like they usually do and wanting a large portion of the profits. Y'all are mad at the wrong people. 🙃

  • original_pmf Mark Hammond (@original_pmf) reported

    @adrianoneil @NintendoUK After the shitty service from Nintendo I'd be tempted to try my luck with the original retailer

  • OrionLuvsGaming 💫✨Orion✨💫 (@OrionLuvsGaming) reported

    @jasminesedaght1 @ConcernedApe Typically Playstation takes 1wk if everything goes smoothly, and there aren't any issues. Idk how long it takes with Nintendo, but always seems longer. But since neither have came yet and it's been 2wks, it's kinda up in the air now. Shld be anytime, I hope 🥺🙏🥺..

  • Keagan85018094 Keagan (@Keagan85018094) reported

    @Kamiyoven @NintendoAmerica You have no reason to be this toxic, so grow up, quit being so damn toxic for no reason, and get good at the game SCRUB. Do you need the game to continue holding your hand even more or are you going to slap that hand and say "**** your lag, I'll beat it in spite of the lag!"

  • Lylatroid Lylatroid (@Lylatroid) reported

    Anyone experiencing an issue going on My Nintendo? #mynintendo

  • ID_DoxFob Ortho (@ID_DoxFob) reported

    @Dean42459451 @nintendolife Same I’m the Switch is fine as of now the only issue is just the joycon drift and the Nintendo internet server pretty much just interested in the upcoming game reveals for this year

  • EricMJoyce Eric Joyce (@EricMJoyce) reported from Pittsfield, Michigan

    Hey @BurgerKing. When are you going to fix your app? Mobile ordering hasn’t worked for a couple of days and I need those @NintendoAmerica toys (my local BK didn’t have them the other day).

  • himynameismooms Mooms (@himynameismooms) reported

    Nintendo mug: kinda broken and leaky but we all love it anyway.

  • tlouology nico (@tlouology) reported

    i almost bought a nintendo switch lite at target the other day but the problem is i want one where the controllers can come off the sides so i can play w my sister

  • MostEffectual Chooch / Modest 🐾 (@MostEffectual) reported

    Nintendo Switch Online could have been a legitimate contender for the best online service of the three main consoles if they kept Miiverse

  • Mono_Mallard Mo-no-cleu-osis (@Mono_Mallard) reported

    @EverythingOOC Gunna Prank Nintendo once they fix Link Tether AI

  • wondermagenta dmc4-pilled (@wondermagenta) reported

    @rhiwion @WatashiWaBigBoy also accurate sound and no sound delay -- you can definitely do software emulation with pretty decent input lag now, but i've become very aware of sound delay in recent M2/nintendo ****. general rule of thumb with software emulation is that it's slower the more accurate it is

  • Khaledtheboi Khaled 🇵🇸 (@Khaledtheboi) reported

    @Kaleb199921 @NeoBandeX @FortniteStatus Not alot of people play on switch and that comes from a switch player do you know why? Because of dumb epic games they don't fix glitches no 60fps on physics fixed and Because of the Nintendo community hating on fortnite they are so toxic and how gets a switch for fortnite lol

  • harvisterc Harvey Cole (@harvisterc) reported

    @NintendoUK Joycon drift just made me loose all my neverite gear in the end. I would like to know where I can get this issue fixed please

  • HWokescold AynaE2 (@HWokescold) reported

    @conspiracydawg @Flipsy84 @IGN you're missing the bigger issue. Nintendo were never as litigous as modern companies. Imagine if before developing 'your own version' you had to weigh the cost of a lengthy court case that, despite you being likely to win, would still set you back hundreds of thousands

  • Malrion_ Malrion (@Malrion_) reported

    Thanks everyone, who sent me help, I was able to resolve the issue with PayPal and Nintendo. 🥰 My fast response to this issue got me all the cash back. 🥰
