  • JtheWeeb22 Jeremy (@JtheWeeb22) reported

    @NathanielBandy1 @NintendoAmerica If only Nintendo was this attentive on its other first party games and its online service.

  • ChrisHdz7205 ©hrⓘs™ (🎂 in 24 days) (@ChrisHdz7205) reported

    The Nintendo Store is broken right now? It’s not even Christmas yet.

  • seventhevampir1 seven the vampire EN Vtuber (@seventhevampir1) reported

    Nintendo please, I just wanna give you my money for a special edition of xenoblade, why your site broken #XenobladeChronicles3

  • Muffy1407 Muffs (@Muffy1407) reported

    2 hours until my shift starts please fix 'yo **** nintendo

  • _soruu soru 📕🌸 (@_soruu) reported

    @tehCrawmorax I'm just going to have the window open on another monitor while I work on other things so I can still get things done. But yeah...I can't blame you haha! With how things are going, Nintendo will likely have to push it back until tomorrow so they can fix the site

  • jfntechbeef Techbeef (@jfntechbeef) reported

    @MarkFariasII @_georgeedward @NintendoAmerica Back in queue again but my login took

  • TeasinMcFly 🐝TeasinMcTweet 🐝 (@TeasinMcFly) reported

    Hopefully Nintendo gives a heads up for the people in line for the special edition. Nah it would suck if they fix the site but doesn’t tell anyone

  • TsukihimeFanboy Fuji (@TsukihimeFanboy) reported

    @NintendoAmerica This is why I am against people posting links to pre-orders on social media. It's lazy and the pre-orders go out too fast. If not then you get stupid problems with the website not loading.

  • sagegamerx17 Sage (@sagegamerx17) reported

    @NintendoAmerica I think its time guys. the webstite is might be up. waiting in line now. maybe its fix?

  • MarkFariasII Mark Farias (@MarkFariasII) reported

    @_TheMaverickk @ArcRiseGen @NintendoAmerica It just threw my other browser on the item page into a waiting room, so hopefully the fix is incoming. Main page with my cart is still grayed out when I refresh.

  • 6plastik6 Brendan Hartgrove (@6plastik6) reported

    @AcidEW75 @NintendoAmerica Not if you can't buy it in the first place. Hour 4 and still not able to login/view cart or add to cart.

  • TommySkywlker11 TommySkywalker11 | Eunie Enjoyer (@TommySkywlker11) reported

    Spent the day out grocery shopping and come back to see the Nintendo site is still broken and no one has gotten the special edition yet

  • Jester_O_A Claus (@Jester_O_A) reported

    @daeltan_181 The problem on my end is that I have two ways of paying for stuff, my card and PayPal Nintendo doesn't accept the card I have and they don't support PayPal (even though the eshop does)

  • AnimeRoot AnimeRoot (@AnimeRoot) reported

    @NintendoAmerica Update: website cart still broken

  • 413dreamr The Dreamer (@413dreamr) reported

    @Necrotine1 @StarlightKick @NintendoAmerica "small" studio? They employ something like 200 devs, and they're owned by Nintendo. You didn't even have a point, those major retailers still experience site crashes when a popular product goes on presale, the problem is web traffic NOT Nintendo per say. Keep up

  • no_way_________ Mistee (@no_way_________) reported

    i enjoy preordering from underground indie brands like nintendo so they dont have trouble financing the production of $90 book

  • jarjarbuns Chill-Jarjar (@jarjarbuns) reported

    3 hours and nothing to show 😭😭😭come on Nintendo fix your store

  • lithiacos Lithia 🌸 (@lithiacos) reported

    Me: I shouldn't buy the Xenoblade 3 collectors edition I'm not good financially Also me: seeing everyone having trouble get it makes me really want it now damn Nintendo

  • ChrispyVGC Chrispy (@ChrispyVGC) reported

    @TheQueenKami nope! happened with N64 controllers as well hahaha. figures that, after those massive problems, a highly anticipated game's special edition should be exclusive! oh nintendo... lacking in logic smh

  • DanielPessoaVO Daniel Pessoa (VA) | Raykushi #VioRhyseAlberia (@DanielPessoaVO) reported

    @chewy905 No it practically wasn't even available. Site ran into issues no one could purchase and now the nintendo store is undergoing maintenance.

  • Andy_Vece143 Andy Vece (@Andy_Vece143) reported

    Nintendo fix your website. I want to give you money

  • Umxbra Umbra (@Umxbra) reported

    So. I was able to secure Xenoblade 3 SE from Nintendo Canada, knowing there will be problems since it took me quite some time to get their N64 controller. It sucks that the game is exclusive, but makes sense since items aren't coming along with the game.

  • fangytasuki fangy tasuki (@fangytasuki) reported

    @NintendoAmerica Could you make it work like limited run where they open up pre-orders for as many as people want and they pay up front? This would avoid bot issues.

  • Christo40932810 Christopher Trail (@Christo40932810) reported

    @NintendoAmerica Are you going to update us on anything at all? This is absolutely ridiculous and Nintendo's silence, while we all sit and wait, shows how much they actually care about their supporters. It's 2022, these are issues that you should not be having. Don't create hype you can't handle.

  • take_japper ssj4 chicagoku (@take_japper) reported

    the my nintendo store is actually getting more broken the longer it's under maintenance

  • plombie5 plombie (@plombie5) reported

    @MouthofLightnin @waypoint @RealMatthewWolf This is dumb. People dont pirate because it is the "most rational choice", they pirate because they are poor, or because the service they are looking for is unavailable. Nintendo didnt "lose" 975M to piracy, they left 975M on the ******* table when they chose to abandon old games

  • MartinWDoodles ◈ Martin Wright ◈ 🍜 PLAY 13 SENTINELS ON SWITCH!! (@MartinWDoodles) reported

    What do you think is the likelihood that this clown has said something along the lines of: "Nintendo saved the entire video games industry from the video game crash of 1982 when they invented the Nintendo Entertainment System" I personally feel that it is quite high.

  • Umxbra Umbra (@Umxbra) reported

    So. I was able to secure Xenoblade 3 SE from Nintendo Canada, knowing there will be problems since it took me quite some time to get their N64 controller almost a month ago.

  • daeltan_181 Daeltan @wake me up in Sept- I mean, July (@daeltan_181) reported

    @AndoryuAnzuru hopfully they will learn and fix their windows 98 servers that but it's nintendo so I dont expect it.X D Im preparing for a clic&refresh war atm 🫡
