  • GregCaldwell18 Greg Caldwell (@GregCaldwell18) reported

    @BeatMystica @WalkingHater @NintendoAmerica Again that’s not gonna fix it…

  • Dededaio Klu 🐧 (KATFL Spoilers here and there) (@Dededaio) reported

    @ArtLukeys well this is why i want collection of modern games, since nintendo's building would rather do triple jump irl than them setting up service for ds-wii-3ds games

  • BeatMystica Beat! (@BeatMystica) reported

    @GregCaldwell18 @WalkingHater @NintendoAmerica No one said a brand new system just a better console, maybe a version of the switch with the joycon issue fixed.

  • _leah2 Leah Carpenter (@_leah2) reported

    @NintendoAmerica tried to order the Kirby shopping bag on my rewards, tried 3 different cards, all got error messages, now says item limit reached? None of my cards are charged, no confirmation email it was purchased…

  • DarkRedScorpion Jose Antonio Lujan (@DarkRedScorpion) reported

    @Ressniee Downloaded it on the Nintendo Switch to try it out. It looks like an awesome selection of anime. The only problem is that it crashes.... A lot. Stay away from the Switch version, lol

  • GregCaldwell18 Greg Caldwell (@GregCaldwell18) reported

    @BeatMystica @WalkingHater @NintendoAmerica Simply coming out with a brand-new system is not going to fix it we already have examples of this see PlayStation five and Xbox series X

  • Thornejohny Thornejohny Gaming (@Thornejohny) reported

    @KerMillie14 @IGN Every platform has stick drift oh my God this is news I've only been gaming since the '90s Yes Nintendo has problems as well with stick drift. What could they do? Not cheap out on materials and quality tested properly they're not a small company by any means.

  • Rcerboss James Pip (@Rcerboss) reported

    @HOTDRemake Is there any way to fix the abysmal joycon gyro controls in this game? No matter how I tweak the settings it just doesn't work. Can it be fixed via patch or is this really the best that Nintendo's joycons are capable of?

  • miscrave Luigi Kawasaki & 🎧🦖MiscRave🥚🎵 (@miscrave) reported

    @NintendoMemo Didn't know there was a chart version for each error Nintendo boot logo.

  • BeatMystica Beat! (@BeatMystica) reported

    @Acuriousbun @HiimSteve20 @NintendoAmerica I've never had that issue and I've thrown my controller more times than I could count.

  • dreamtdebris 🎈 mars ! ✧ (@dreamtdebris) reported

    @turning2stone ive seen em too but ive seen sonic fans say that $40 is pretty reasonable like "at least theyre not like nintendo they couldve went for $60" if we have to compare a miniscule collection of 90s games to aaa nintendo titles which are famously overpriced i think theres a problem lol

  • VolcanicBirdOpp David (@VolcanicBirdOpp) reported

    @earthbound64 the joke is that Nintendo can just drop a direct or other form of fan service and fans will forget the scandal instantly

  • AdamMarkowski Adam Markowski (@AdamMarkowski) reported

    @GameSpot Sony seems to be really inept at this generation. Not only their answer to gamepass was to make their thing flawed version of both gamepass and Nintendo's service, but now they even copy stuff that clearly will end up being unpopular with customers

  • ChampionAzure Azure Jedi (@ChampionAzure) reported

    Sega HAD to publish 5 games for Nintendo's worst home console and the invisible handheld, but FORCES is the problem? Nah man, y'all are crazy. Forces is mid at best, boring at worst.

  • thewasabibros WasabiBros (@thewasabibros) reported

    @kyodo_english I’m sure @NintendoAmerica knows who to send to fix this problem

  • SD_ZEKENATOR ZEKE (@SD_ZEKENATOR) reported

    @kozyiscute The picture is two years old bro id didn’t even think Nintendo would patch out a ******* hydrant despawn glitch

  • GamingUrufu Gaming Wolf (@GamingUrufu) reported

    @chocolate_supra @sonic_hedgehog Nintendo Switch can go 60fps with no problems what so ever?

  • dave_stickland Stickland (@dave_stickland) reported

    @BuildingBread @PlayStation Seriously. I was trying to remember back, I don't even think we had this kind of scarcity with the original Nintendo. Genuinely surprised Sony hasn't fixed this problem.

  • LegoSkeletor Ian (@LegoSkeletor) reported

    @stopmrdomino I agree to a point, but I still can't envision spending $50CAD on a collection of classic games... which is almost certainly why Sony and Nintendo are pushing classics to service models rather than selling them a la carte.

  • Churgoii Churgo II 📻 (@Churgoii) reported

    @TavernCatRecs @LoppearLink The issue also becomes that indie is BIG right now. Like, some of the best games that have come out in recent years didn't come from a big studio. So, companies like Nintendo see it as a big market, and there's no risk if the game is bad, they give them their platform and hope.

  • Thisisforsmash1 Thisisforsmashultimate (@Thisisforsmash1) reported

    @MojangSupport The Minecraft update is crashing my Nintendo switch. Are you guys gonna fix it?

  • peperez6 #IIIRepública (@peperez6) reported

    @DIMONDDAVE_ @VodkaSlyme @elliotduby But the point is that is not a thing between Nintendo and the worker. It's our problem because we are workers. No matter what country, we should support other workers

  • StevieJ2310 Steve Julian (@StevieJ2310) reported

    @PlayStation really disappointed with your customer service - won’t fix joy con drift on PS5 controller that is 3 months out of warranty. Similar issue with @NintendoUK and they repaired free of charge with a controller that was 2 years old.

  • joshjamesgraham Joshua Graham (@joshjamesgraham) reported

    Trying to fix Nintendo Switch JoyCon drift makes me feel like it's 1995 and I'm trying to tune in a Sega MegaDrive through the aerial while crying

  • BeatMystica Beat! (@BeatMystica) reported

    @GregCaldwell18 @WalkingHater @NintendoAmerica what do you mean? If they release an updated version of the switch with a revamped joycon how could they not fix it?

  • Renwin64 Renwin (@Renwin64) reported

    @Blazeit301 @zurashii It's funny cause I always see a Sonic-based pfp always have some asinine comment every time Nintendo makes a booboo. Granted, recent issues with Nintendo hasn't been 100% sparkle and whistles. But let's not pretend that "updated" Sonic Colors was perfection.

  • deester_ Deester (@deester_) reported

    @iGoIan @the_boyks Well it's still the company's problem that they don't treat their employees with empathy and understanding. The precedent doesn't make it right. Also "idgaf about nintendo" your pfp is literally luigi

  • GiantTacoHead1 GiantTacoHead - Darksiders 4 for 2022🤞 (@GiantTacoHead1) reported

    @Cedrik1699 If only Nintendo makes a better console, even on docked there are some noticeable issues

  • flmandan_mufc FREDSTANACCT (@flmandan_mufc) reported

    @Lindsey_Clark11 @JoseBer56296540 @NintendoAmerica Ugh, this has happened to me both of my switches, this is the one Nintendo gave to me after they couldn’t fix it. I’m sitting it on the dock rn but it’s not “charging” since it’s dead.

  • _leah2 Leah Carpenter (@_leah2) reported

    @NintendoAmerica tried to order the Kirby shopping tried 3 different cards, all got error messages, now says item limit reached? None of my cards are charged, no confirmation email it was purchased…checked my order history, there’s 4 different purchases ALL say cancelled 😞
