    @MrSaints619 @LonelyGoomba For the last part, I'll just say that you can still enjoy something despite having problems with it, but it still doesn't make all the criticisms any less valid. What Nintendo did was ******, but yeah, it did lead to a situation where you either caved in or missed out on it.

  • Miguel_Casso Miguel (@Miguel_Casso) reported

    @AhabsArtwork @caiokendx the lawyers keep more than 95% of the money they take from nintendo for the joy-con problems and if the plaintiffs did not give the lawyers a dollar of their money 2/2

  • Big_Orrin Big_Orrin (@Big_Orrin) reported

    @PeterSainsbury7 Was reading some of the reviews about it. it appears that you need a different power supply to the Nintendo one to get it to work. That maybe where the problem lies

  • RIPRevenant Friendly Neighborhood Introvert (@RIPRevenant) reported

    Submitted a ticket to have our Joycons fixed, both are drifting horribly so hopefully, given covid and everything, Nintendo can fix them for us, it's prob gonna be awhile before they can but it's better than paying for new ones

  • StarlightAurora ✨Starlight Aurora✨ (@StarlightAurora) reported

    @LonelyGoomba You'd be surprised at how many people defended it too with the "Nintendo has done this before" excuse. Like, hello??? You just pointed out the problem

  • NintendoShame Nintendo Shame (@NintendoShame) reported

    It's been 8 days since the last game was added to the Nintendo Switch Online service

  • stephenwg Stephen Wells-Gaston (@stephenwg) reported

    @NintendoUK can you please help? I've been mis-sold a game which doesn't work and I've just been on holiday for 40 minutes for the call to disconnect, can someone please get back to me?

  • marcan42 Hector Martin (@marcan42) reported

    The leaked documents show some of these same problems internal to Nintendo. They paint a story of a large multinational with communication, focus, and trust issues across cultures and teams, which is sadly common. (Read beyond the ninja docs, there's more)

  • PaddyB14 Paddy Bradley (@PaddyB14) reported

    Nintendo switch screen broken. Best place about here to get it fixed/replaced?

  • teamrocketgaaew Big Red Machine (@teamrocketgaaew) reported

    @pokejungle @Pokemon They know about issues and such. And don't ever seem to care to really do anything about it. Nintendo's been really lazy about this kinda stuff over the years. Remember the half assed nintendo wifi connection on DS?

  • HellBlade408 Silver (@HellBlade408) reported

    @NintendoAmerica I’m not buying any Nintendo releases for the rest of next year until this issue is corrected, I will also sell all my Nintendo stock shares if this is not addressed sometime next year, you’re digging your own grave. #freesmash #freemeelee

  • Big_Orrin Big_Orrin (@Big_Orrin) reported

    @PeterSainsbury7 the problem is that the output signal from the Nintendo is encrypted and only the dock converts it to HDMI properly

  • amiiboGoddess djb | leaf (@amiiboGoddess) reported

    @Kopter__FJA that’s fair i guess, slippery slope is an issue, but i really don’t understand why smash 4 bayo wasn’t banned and in a game where Nintendo seems to be intentionally designing characters poorly idk why we completely rule it out

  • eimanlander Lander Hernandez (@eimanlander) reported

    @NintendoAmerica please have more cloud version of games. This is literally the future of Switch games. Imagine getting Call of Duty or Cyberpunk on switch via cloud service

  • applejuke Applejuice the Truth (@applejuke) reported

    @KEEMSTAR 1. Rtx 3000 series graphics card 2. Parts for my car, it's a little broken 3. New phone 4. Nintendo switch 5. A donation to St. Jude

  • StevieSheps Stevie Fulford (@StevieSheps) reported

    Anyone else had issues with @NintendoUK for repairs? Our switch battery has gone and they have advised they will fix FOC but want to charge £60 for cosmetic damage even though we don’t want this repaired just the battery but they won’t fix it without us paying for the cosmetic!?

  • beigeluna Luna (@beigeluna) reported

    Does anyone else get the error code 2219-4201 and knows how to fix this? I’m tired of Nintendo doing nothing after I contacted them twice about it. #acnh #NintendoSwitch #AnimalCrossingNewHorizions

  • fortkid0o0 ¿? (@fortkid0o0) reported

    @dexxtf So bro do you own a switch if you do go to the Nintendo eshop and redeem the code and login to fortnite on switch to recieve the items

  • gazer500 gazer500 (@gazer500) reported

    @CaptainVVVVVV Nintendo has a problem with living behind the times and not understanding the fans, not with freaking killing.

  • Sanic_SSBU #BLM | 🏳️‍🌈SonicSpike🏳️‍🌈 - Inactive For Now (@Sanic_SSBU) reported

    @LonelyGoomba @TroyIsLyco My issue is how common they've become. Nintendo really taking a turn for the worst this year.😩

  • jdawglo Josh//black lives matter. always. (@jdawglo) reported

    @Akfamilyhome Nintendo: We create broken joycons Consumers: hey can you start fixing our joycons and producing joycons which aren’t broken? Nintendo: no

  • Ranmzoxe LapMan (@Ranmzoxe) reported

    Nintendo switch broken in half.

  • DennisRuhnau 3amTacobell (@DennisRuhnau) reported

    @5ully151 @NintendoAmerica Emulation is not the problem, where'd you got that rom from? Those are illegal.

  • wirelessmouse Mouse (@wirelessmouse) reported

    @MattytheMouse @conejitogigante At this point he could probably issue a DMCA takedown to Nintendo and the courts would back him up.

  • fortkid0o0 ¿? (@fortkid0o0) reported

    @zMhyt38 Do you own a switch if you do go to the Nintendo eshop and redeem the code and login to fortnite to get the redeemed items

  • ARStrangerYT 🎁A.Festive.Stranger🎁 (@ARStrangerYT) reported

    @JoshuaL54931099 @NintendoAmerica How has it been a problem?

  • toastcheesecake Toasty cheese Cakes (@toastcheesecake) reported

    @Actually_Tina Ah Nintendo would be forgiven in a heartbeat if miyamoto flapped his eyelashes at the camera and said “doom guy in smash.” I feel that CDPR are gonna have people pissed at them even if they fixed all the problems with the game. The hype train is now a hate train. Choo choo.

  • pleasehiremejob Admiral Despacito (@pleasehiremejob) reported

    The nintendo ninjas have broken into my house cause I have pirated tomodachi life for a emulator

  • anactualpokemon Sdivi (@anactualpokemon) reported

    I was wondering, how old is that document saying Nintendo was spying on the neimod guy because they listed interest in doing something with geohot, who I'm pretty sure is George Hotz, but i thought after he got in trouble with Sony he was out of the game. Hm.

  • MIdapoETII MIdapoET (@MIdapoETII) reported

    So @Nintendo would rather stalk people then fix their bullsh!t online connection.. Video games = entertainment.. Not saving lives.. Wasting free time with unique ideas and/or connectivity.. Which America has figured out about a fkn decade ago.. Still fkn waiting.. Refund..??
