    @ProChara @CharizardTweet @ho_rchata GUYS I KNOW WHEN THE SEASON TRAILER DROPS. IT WILL BE ON “A communication error has occurred. If the error persists, it may be due to your connection being unstable. For more details, please visit the Nintendo Switch support site.”

    Userstyles/Stylish is absolute dogshit and way more ******' broken than Nintendo's "online servers", LMAO-

  • RazgrizXT Skyler (@RazgrizXT) reported

    @RuleTimeSpace Will never happen, I know. But i really wish Metroid would come on to other media. Nintendo is not officially available in India. While one can import, making an account for the store is another issue. Not to mention so many other titles. FE, Astral Chain...

    nintendo wii broken

  • Seanlafs Skorner64 (@Seanlafs) reported

    @jakewarsaw Yours is not true, neither Nintendo nor Sony would allow games on their systems because it would hurt their digital store sales by ALOT. They are doing the best idea, of the service on any device they can including their own.

  • StarlightLily_ ;-; (@StarlightLily_) reported

    I think i found a glitch in acnh,,, I used the nook miles redemption service hoping to find a diy fountain recipe but its not there. I need some help, maybe nintendo can do an update of the game soon?

  • GShinjin Nathan (@GShinjin) reported

    My heart sank for a minute, I thought for a second that my Nintendo Switch was broken. The right side controller wouldn’t register being “clicked in” to the side of the console. Turns out that the controller just needed an update.

  • HelenaSHyena Helena Bi-🏳️‍🌈-Yeena (@HelenaSHyena) reported

    I tried sending this the day of the outage, during the Nintendo Direct Don't know why it posted today, and didn't even realize until this moment

  • link5469 darkwinlord (@link5469) reported

    @Gdd4Sequel @NatalieXHunter @Melizande Sure…….one problem with that some of the stuff with Anna had to be changed because of laws in other countries and there nothing Nintendo can do about that. Also calm down.

  • lizcantfxnction // liz ✿ // (@lizcantfxnction) reported

    @RVaubby @yukii_39 Nintendo set up a system where you send them in and they’ll fix them for free if they drift. We sent ours in and they fixed them. Haven’t drifted since :)

    @vagrantpistol @BlueGlare8 @IGN You do realize that Microsoft is the richest corporation in the entire world right? I don't care whether they make money or not. I just want games on the service. It's not like Microsoft, Sony, and Nintendo, don't use child slave labor to mine the Cobalt for their consoles.

    Donkey Kong better not have a minor role in the Mario movie or me and Nintendo are gonna have problems 😤

  • A_L_Shaner A. L. Shaner (@A_L_Shaner) reported

    @NintendoAmerica Was the Advance Wars but can’t transfer the GameStop preorder due to their customer service and economy took a toll 😢 if the game had been even two months ago, I could have enjoyed it.

  • NoGlocko NoGlocko (@NoGlocko) reported

    I'm really enjoying playing competitive Pokemon but Nintendo's gotta do something about their online man. I'm getting a disconnect error 1/5 matches it's actually nuts.

  • hudzell hudzell (@hudzell) reported

    I played it all in one sitting when it came out, Nintendo really outdid themselves. However, I still believe that PC emulation is the definitive experience for hardcore fans simply because of the massive input delay problem the Switch has; I was feeling it CONSTANTLY.

  • ashes1032 enjoyer of bad sports teams (@ashes1032) reported

    Why ******** did this post now? I literally tried posting this during the Nintendo Direct Twitter Outage This website is ******* BROKEN

  • RyanSheebs Sheebs (@RyanSheebs) reported

    i'm also like, literally Forever Bitter about nintendo telling me I was a liar when I said the bent docks were an issue and they made me take a video to prove my dock was scratching my switch

  • The_8BitNobody 8BitNobody (@The_8BitNobody) reported

    @TheGregSego @HitmarkerJobs @NintendoAmerica This is something you could fix if u applied to help Nintendo

  • Seanlafs Skorner64 (@Seanlafs) reported

    @jakewarsaw This is not true, neither Nintendo nor Sony would allow #GamePass on their systems because it would hurt their digital store sales by ALOT. Xbox is doing their service the best way it can, offering the service on any device they can get it on, including their own.

  • KarlOak82 Karl (@KarlOak82) reported

    Anyone know how to fix a drifting pro controller on #nintendo #switch?

  • UgdinTBD Ugdin the Filthy (@UgdinTBD) reported

    @TheNCSmaster Simping for Nintendo even though Golden Sun probably isn't even going to be on the service for another year knowing Nintendo's trickle out service.

  • candle340 Michael Mazzaferri 🏳️‍⚧️ (@candle340) reported

    @SusanArendt Not yet, though it will be coming at some (as yet unannounced) later date. The Lost Age has yet to be confirmed for the service either, but I'm assuming it will eventually come sometime after the first one drops (you can't give us only half the story, @NintendoAmerica! )

  • DarkVenom407 Roy Marquis (@DarkVenom407) reported

    @IGN The same way streaming is killing cinema, but no one barely talks about it. But because xbox has a successful streaming service IGN has to trash them and not sony even tho sony and nintendo are the worse in the industry for consumers.

  • ONTHEBIGBRIDGE Ray @ Deryk fanclub (@ONTHEBIGBRIDGE) reported

    @mithaiglorianda Pretty sure Nintendo offers a service to fix the joycons that you don't have to pay for but idk if they still do it, been a while since i checked but I imagine they still do it?

  • WaypointSetCj Cj (@WaypointSetCj) reported

    Nintendo adding the original Tetris to their online service is really bad for my productivity

  • seybold Patrick Seybold (@seybold) reported

    In 6th grade, my parents hid my #Nintendo from me when I was in trouble for grades/conduct. They smartly hid it in a laundry basket on the dryer. Thinking I'd never find it. What 6th grader did laundry? I found it, played and re-hid it every day before they got home.

    @realHenno @CapriTheUnruly No it's that you have a principle you stick with. Personally I take no issues with bad individuals making some profit to do that I'd need to worry about investors and given Saudi Arabia has heavily invested in many companies like Nintendo and flat out owns SNK supporting either
