@2KSupport After making me wait a day with no responses, they confused my issue with an issue with the PC version then IMMEDIATELY tried to punt me to nintendo when I corrected them. Nintendo can't restore DLC that 2k REMOVED from the eshop. This is abhorrent. I feel ROBBED

@NintendoUK I’m having problems with the eshop and my son’s account. Told my card doesn’t work, accidentally uploaded funds to my account but can’t transfer or purchase with my sons account. Can I get a refund?

Please @NintendoAmerica can you please release N64 games to Nintendo Switch Online already? I want to speedrun N64 games (legally) without input delay and a ton of lag, and I don't want to buy a modded retro console just for that. I hope I'm not asking too much, thanks ;)

@retro_dodo I hope Nintendo decides to counter this to some extent by adding other platforms than (S)NES to the Switch online service.

Nintendo fix your ******* online. The Byleth player shouldn't be able to get away with brainlessly spamming moves for free while everything I toss out gets ****** with by input delay.

@Nymphomachy @Cybren Yeah it really has no right to be as good as it was, but then again it released really late in the SNES lifespan. Nintendo had a real problem with abandoning consoles just when the really good groundbreaking **** started coming out.

@P9Villy I see people going on about "what if?", But I HIGHLY doubt it'll ever go past that. Until Nintendo actually fix it, why is it still a discussion?

@Reqzee That's what cracks me up. They want Nintendo to be the ones pumping money into the scene instead of BTS as if Nintendo doesn't also get that money from them buying products. Just because a different company is doing the same thing they've asked for it's suddenly an issue.

@honey_snb @NintendoAmerica What’s the use of their support when they’re not going to respond to any of your messages I had the same issue with my account I got referred to Unihackspyyyy on Instagram and within a short period of time I got my account issue resolved

Due to the update on Nintendo’s authorization server, imink users may encounter temporary failures to login or iksm_session renewal. A new #imink version with a hot fix has been submitted to Apple and is expected to go live within 24 hours. Sorry for the inconvenience.

Hey Nintendo pals, can anyone recommend a controller or joycons for the switch that arent the stock? Mine are starting to **** up mid match in Unite with weird joystick issues and buttons not registering at all or registering twice.

@NintendoAmerica @SEGA The switch is a piece of trash, and the Genesis collection that I paid 20 goddamn dollars for has a full second and a half of button lag. Completely unplayable garbage. **** you and **** your no refund policy. #NintendoSwitch #eshop

@NintendoUK Looks good, but I'm wondering how easy it will be to play with stick drift. Some games become unplayable with stick drift issues. Any news on fixing this?

@girl_69420 @NintendoAmerica Ofc they are. Its understandable to be angry at that. But if you are scrolling tweets and see someone who is generally jaded and disappointed with the series and YOU are the one offended, its more an issue with you.

@eliasthompson Tell Nintendo to release it on Switch with button controls. The game is fine. I just don't want to deal with the Wiimote, and I haven't gotten it to run without lag on PC.

@MikaDima1 @Romudeth The customer would stop using the service when it's not delivering. So tell me again... How does GP affect your gaming habits (as a Nintendo/Sony player).

I really want a BotW style Kirby game, I think it'd be ******* sick to have something like that. I'll do a lil thread here of my various ideas for how you'd answer problems raised by the genre shift. #Kirby #Nintendo
