  • pmtwreckhouse Patrick (@pmtwreckhouse) reported

    @NintendoAmerica It's going to be Crash or another anime sword fighter no one cares about

  • FleetwayMS04 MS04 (@FleetwayMS04) reported

    Pretty sure my Joy-Cons are not working again These controllers are honestly dogshit, they last for like a year until being replaced and are hella expensive, and Nintendo just won't improve them

  • sweetanimo Anne Marie 💙💙💙 (@sweetanimo) reported

    @NintendoUK Very disappointed in your customer service. I have supplied all the information needed and still they haven't contacted me. This is a query re a repair bill that I have paid (and provided proof) Please advise.

  • _DiverDown_ Diver Down (@_DiverDown_) reported

    if i can say one thing about the nintendo switch, ive dropped this **** off my desk literally 30+ times and this **** still working fine the ONLY thing thats "broken" is i dont need to push the buttons to pull the joycons off lmfao

  • SBenhoff Shelley Benhoff (@SBenhoff) reported

    @ThatZombieCoder Same. Esp with Super Nintendo World coming to Universal Orlando!!! Disney made several mistakes last year with FL resident annual passes and erroneously charged us 3x and their customer service was terrible 💔 Not the Disney I grew up with.

  • _mr_zimbabwe 🇮🇪Mr.Zimbabwe🇮🇪☭⃠ (@_mr_zimbabwe) reported

    @NintendoAmerica Wonder,how big will this be considering Doom Eternal and Crash were Twitter posts anyway,might miss this might be in the gym lol

  • indybana Rabb (@indybana) reported

    @PokeMadness1996 @Andyblarg @TAHK0 But it doesn't. Not including online isn't how to fix shoddy servers, but I get what you mean. It'd just be nice to know my $35 annual payment for NSO could somehow someway help a struggling company like Nintendo get with the times with online infrastructure. One day.

  • j_whitfield8 Joe Whitfield (@j_whitfield8) reported

    @NintendoUK Er @Sherratt00, we might be in trouble here.😬😬😬

  • PcElitist___ PC Elitist (@PcElitist___) reported

    @NintendoAmerica PC BETTER lmaoo joycons have drift issues, so mouse and keyboard are also better

  • Dwuddles (@Dwuddles) reported

    Super Mario 3D World is definitely fun but if there's a criticism for it, it's Nintendo needs to work on their connectivity for Online. The lag and frame rate drops are horrendous.

  • NintendoShame Nintendo Shame (@NintendoShame) reported

    It's been 64 days since the last game was added to the Nintendo Switch Online service

  • LivinLamelaCoco Alex (@LivinLamelaCoco) reported

    @Atkins_Sam I think I did use a guide that came with an issue of a Nintendo magazine I was subscribed to to finish Wind Waker but I don't think I ever finished Ocarina until like 2009 or so and I had it since 2002

  • PcElitist___ PC Elitist (@PcElitist___) reported

    ps5 = drift issues ps4 = drift issues xbox one = drift issues xbox series x/s = drift issues nintendo switch joycons = drift issues nintendo 3ds/2ds = joystick drift issues pc with mouse + keyboard = what drift? there is no drift therefore m&k > all controllers

  • Bones_McGinty BonesMcGinty 🇺🇸 (@Bones_McGinty) reported

    @NintendoAmerica dear Nintendo...all I ask for the 35th Anniversary of zelda is that you patch and fix the frame rate on Links Awakening. #zelda

  • BunnyGamer_it Bun (@BunnyGamer_it) reported

    @NintendoAmerica CRASH FOR SMASH, CRASH FOR SMASH CRASH FOR SMASH CRASH FOR SMASH

  • SoftCustomer9 Soft🌙 (@SoftCustomer9) reported

    @Tomathius I would love that! However I think that wouldn't happen because Mojang would have copyright issues with Nintendo

  • SuperDoughMutt ✨D🍩NUT P🍩WER!!✨ (@SuperDoughMutt) reported

    @Beastly_Drohan It's most likely the nostalgia talking. I know all three games are great, but it's not worth paying $60 for three old games. I mean, other than the Crash and Spyro examples, Kingdom Hearts has a collection of games for only $30 on PS4! Nintendo is pretty anti-consumer tbh.

  • SuperDoughMutt ✨D🍩NUT P🍩WER!!✨ (@SuperDoughMutt) reported

    @Beastly_Drohan They expect us to not try to emulate or pirate their games, but they're giving us lousy service and very anti-consumer methods. Nintendo Switch Online is a disgrace. Sure, it has some of the hit games, but not any of fan requested ones that were easily available from the Wii Shop

  • babybl33d cupid 💗 (@babybl33d) reported

    @CIGARETTEB0Y even nintendo needs their fix

  • Miguel_Casso Miguel (@Miguel_Casso) reported

    @Nas_160 @nintendolife Nintendo is not going to talk about this issue until the court cases finish, that is quite obvious (and since they have not started any case on this, we must wait more than three years to finish, 1/2

  • teddy_cst teddy 0947erz (@teddy_cst) reported

    @DeletedDigital @AmongUsGame The Nintendo Switch glitch proves that it's real and why would they do this? It's like "oh boi we got million dollars, lets overwork us for 2 months just to troll our fans and to lose them entirely"

  • LetsSWITCHGames Let's SWITCH Games (@LetsSWITCHGames) reported

    @zomibiegod The error code definitely relates to micro sd card. Reformat the card, check the sd card slot for any foreign material. Other than that, call Nintendo mate.

  • the_odd_auds auds (@the_odd_auds) reported

    its called super smash bros for a reason right? so wtf is the problem with me giving rail ratings on the characters? Now or never Nintendo

  • youngo9 Gareth Young (@youngo9) reported

    @NintendoUK Wouldnt buy anything off this if I were anyone. Been dealing with Andre in customer service over a game which has crashed my switch when loading. Asked within 24 hours of purchase to remove the game and refund this and got told no. Asked to send videos (which I did) no resolution

  • Vallu111 Vallu (@Vallu111) reported

    Motion control drift on switch seems to be a programming issue, not a connection issue. I did some testing and the tests are consistent which means if nintendo never fixes it in a patch we could figure out how to play around it and prevent it from happening or predict it.

  • GodsofSkyforge Skyforge (@GodsofSkyforge) reported

    @Drop2YourKnees Hello, we have a fix ready for this issue and will roll it out once it passes Nintendo's certification, sorry for the inconvience and thank you for your patience.

  • LetsSWITCHGames Let's SWITCH Games (@LetsSWITCHGames) reported

    @zomibiegod That is strange and annoying. Not exactly the same, but I had a problem with the Borderlands collection last week. Every time I clicked load they crashed immediately. I called Nintendo who made a report, then suddenly they all worked!!!!!!!

  • EpicDaVinci Epic DaVinci (@EpicDaVinci) reported from Blackburn, England

    @Matt_GamesYT That is a typical Nintendo design, no problem experimenting with new design philosophy or concepts

  • MichiruMatthew Matthew (@MichiruMatthew) reported

    @PcElitist___ @NintendoAmerica guess what Nintendo knows about the joycon drift that's why you can send in your joycons FOR FREE to get that issue resolved
