@Zero_RVL Warranty was still active, so sent Switch in for repairs, got back a brand new console and found myself unable to use my old NNID that had been in use since the WiiU as it was still linked to the bricked Switch. After dealing with local Nintendo distributor’s customer service…

@GameOverThirty I think Nintendo should just port their classic games to PC already. Takes away the trouble from having to port and rerelease the same games for every new console, and consumers won't have to pay for them again and again (wait maybe Nintendo actually wants that oh no)

@NintendoAmerica the expansion pack for the switch is such a scam. The fact that you guys made a subscription service for online play as well is just shameless. Thank god for emulators.

@NintendoUK Hi, we're having issues with our original & replacement joycon switch controllers. They were purchased over a year ago. Can I still return these to you for fixing (if possible) or do they have to be under 1yr old? Have them boxed and ready, been though website system

@OtakuMan @natachi_chan @S0ckPuppetNinja Probably the fact that Nintendo is run by old Japanese men like most of Japanese companies and therefore have a lot of boomer issues like terrible online service that you have to pay for, constantly going after fan projects, not preservin their games but shutting down fans who do

@GAMER1984dude As a Nintendo shareholder I appreciate you spending an unnecessarily amount of money for what should be an all-in-one service.

@TheNintendoFeed The console itself was amazing with many cool ideas, the problem was Nintendo did not know how to market it properly and made poor advertising...

@CorkellJacob @NintendoAmerica @Pauly_Fish Who are you and why did you come to the comment section of a Nintendo post, about a game you’ve probably never even heard of to start trouble with a bunch of random people you don’t know? Let me tell you something little buddy, this ain’t it.

if the emulator that same with nintendo switch online had all the snes and nes games from the virtual console, it’d genuinely be a worthwhile service for convince alone

@MikaDima1 @PaulTassi @Forbes journos call out nintendo all the time the problem is nintendo fanboys are on a whole 'nother plane of existence they'll buy anything (including the same game they've already purchased 3 times, and came out in 1996) that says "nintendo" on it. why would they change their model?

@MBgov1133 I was just saying, usually there's tons o rights issues keeping games from rereleasing; music being one of the bigger concerns. Wish they did an X port b4 starting development on Xenoblade 3, just so it's off of the WiiU, but I guess that's for the publisher (Nintendo) to decide

@Crunchyroll @NintendoAmerica I was very excited about this news, the app seems to be pretty good but… the screen gets dimmer automatically every 5 minutes, even in docked mode. Am I doing something wrong? Is it something Crunchyroll can fix?

you don't have this problem for 200+ puzzles, then as soon as it switches over you have it twice in a row? way to fix what was never broken. right out of the Nintendo school of artificial difficulty. ⬛⬛⬛⬛🟩 ⬛⬛🟨⬛⬛ ⬛🟩⬛🟩🟩 ⬛🟩🟩🟩🟩 ⬛🟩🟩🟩🟩 ⬛🟩🟩🟩🟩

@carl__el @GouinMatt @KriimaarRC Exactly. That's a big Problem with Nintendo. I mean even Fortnite arent got any nice Cooperations except the Exclusive Skins for which you have to buy a whole new Console or Controller and these Console Cups where you could get a simple Spray or Shop Skin...

@BeatemupsWood @PlayStation The Nintendo Switch is the only current gen console where I appreciate owning games, and i've been a playstation fan since the PS1. Innovation has been dwindling, and they release titles in hopes to fix things later. Also, Playstation's game cases are trash, miss the PS2/PS3 ones

Can’t remember what I needed at the store but I can still remember that on the sims 2 game I had for the Nintendo DS you couldn’t use the vacuum on a game in the second save slot because it would crash the game
