  • nagato198 Lydia ~ (@nagato198) reported

    @wiill64 Ooh, I've not heard of that one before! I'm a little bit scared of taking the casing off and accidentally making it worse though :(( I heard Nintendo used to fix them for free though? So I might see if that's still the case

  • heartmaps Nadia (@heartmaps) reported

    you guys don't understand like it crashed the second jin was gone.... like jin exited and chris went into his menu to fix the party and then nintendo black screened it was so ******* hilarious

  • wiill64 Xenoblade Chronicles 3 and Digimon Survive hype (@wiill64) reported

    @nagato198 It's not too bad (hardest part is removing the battery) but yeah if you have the patience then getting Nintendo to fix it is the way to go (should still be free as it's their product that is faulty)

  • Agithor CGpotato (@Agithor) reported

    @FallGuysGame is it possible to login in epic game account in a nintendo switch?

  • psychonome meep (@psychonome) reported

    nintendo needs to fix switch sports online bc i’m this close to malding and never playing again

  • Austin_M_0905 Austin (@Austin_M_0905) reported

    Does anyone know how to fix the tendo switch playtime issue? I bought a Nintendo switch I laid a few months ago, my hours just don’t seem to be going up. Is there a way to fix this?

  • VRsun2 VR5 (@VRsun2) reported

    @BlizadoVR @beehivews Apparently the VB was a reaction to a VR device announced by Atari. That actually was VR but despite being demoed to the public it never released. Nintendo's answer ended up being a mess, lacking 3dof and realtime rendered graphics weren't even its biggest problems.

  • StarcasM85 StarcasM (@StarcasM85) reported

    @Melaningaming Sony is full of it. It doesn't have to take "years", Sony execs are Old & are stuck on the old practices & ways of profiting. Think about it, if Nintendo were to do a Gamepass & put their WHOLE library on the service & charge $10/15 a month, they would make BANK.

  • _DJonLawshea_ D'Jon Lawshea (@_DJonLawshea_) reported

    @GormaruIsland @GigaBashGame For those wondering as well they said the game had lagging issues when they tested on the Nintendo switch sadly so idk when we can expect to see this on the switch any time soon!! 😭😭😭😭😢

  • lildee7117 Deandrew (@lildee7117) reported

    @crowns_dev @_Pierlueegee_ The game is glitchy on the switch a little like I can't breed unless I battle a monster first? And the screen for breeding don't pop up and when you tap breed it doesn't let u unless you battle please fix this on the Nintendo switch

  • FFRPro21 Thomas Scott (@FFRPro21) reported

    Mario Golf Super Rush has serious issues with controls randomly not working at all for periods of time that @Nintendo needs to fix. Had a tap-in Eagle where I mashed A for 15+ seconds and not a single input went through which allowed the CPU to blast my ball away from the hole.

  • JandroxMFR Jandrox (@JandroxMFR) reported

    @GenshinImpact Fix the problem of having promised Genshin Impact for Nintendo Switch two years and six months ago because you haven't released it yet

  • realENHolloway Ethan Holloway - EthaCade (@realENHolloway) reported

    @StreamingStop22 @samc83 Nintendo literally drip feeds a handful of titles onto the NSO service and expect their fans to be happy

  • stevengigacz1 Steve (@stevengigacz1) reported

    @LilRySpeaks @NintendoAmerica so don't buy it. problem solved.

  • mimigacity bit (@mimigacity) reported

  • KycenP Koice Petahman (@KycenP) reported

    @dafvus @NintendoAmerica @UPS Weird, that kinda happened to me with my Mario 64 keychain but they let me change the address through email customer service.

  • AfroMacintosh Aidan • BLM • 💙💛 (@AfroMacintosh) reported

    @fredex91 The hardware was good for 2017, but unlike Sony & Microsoft, Nintendo won't give an option for more "modern" upgrades. No disagreeing with ya, it's true, Gunpei Yokoi's logic worked back in 1989 but it's not working today.

  • JonBenjiStevens Jon Stevens (@JonBenjiStevens) reported

    @NintendoUK I really want a Bottom coded login screen. Please? 🙄

  • rapsodos IceClimber (@rapsodos) reported

    @Real_ElyBlanche @RisingFunGaming @monsterhunter I wish i see this energy in Nintendo and FFXIV posts Or Crash 4, that game sucks lol

  • Niennandilme Elanor 🪓 (@Niennandilme) reported

    @NintendoAmerica Tour courses are **** and items are un balanced af. Fix the ****.

  • mmdesoer Michele Desoer 🇺🇸 🇵🇹 🇺🇦 (@mmdesoer) reported

    @BarExamTutor Yeah... I'm sure Nintendo or whoever owns that TM will have a few words with that company... If the image wasn't there, the name wouldn't be a problem. (I've done a lot of IP work)

  • AndyTMonaghan Andrew Monaghan (@AndyTMonaghan) reported

    @Ruleof2Review @SpawnWaveMedia Or the approach of these PS4-PS5 versions until it gets to a point where we can't make this for both systems, Nintendo makes money regardless, Wii U was more marketing issue then software, also make sure their account system is unified never mind hardware sales.

  • Fate_Michael_ Fate ⚓💫 (@Fate_Michael_) reported

    @PneumaSP Bought a new controller for my switch just so I could play Xenoblade without any issues, so I’m good on that part but Nintendo really needs to update their joycons cause half of mine are drifting 😭

  • Patoelpato3 Pato_el_pato (@Patoelpato3) reported

    @Kilbyarchie My problem when they compare graphics. Like nintendo and play
