    Who would of guessed that Nintendo would do nothing about their crappy website despite having like a month to fix it and now everyone trying to preorder Xenoblade 3's Special Edition are having the exact same problems from the last time?

  • YuviApp Yuvi (@YuviApp) reported

    @NintendoAmerica NINTENDO WHAT ********!!!!!! Why is there still so much issue!!!! We waited for this after you’re **** systems weren’t prepared and nothing has changed!!!!

  • KingLumague King Lumague (@KingLumague) reported

    Good luck anybody trying to get the #XenobladeChronicles3 special edition, @NintendoAmerica ****** up again, didn't announce it went live, and their website is broken yet again.

  • LaffeySarah Bloopy (@LaffeySarah) reported

    @NintendoAmerica My cart was robbed of Xenoblade Chronicles 3 SE. I don't find that to be fair. Please, fix your website. Nothing is working, and this is the second time that people have had this problem.

  • HardcoreHackney I've seen the future, and it will be. (@HardcoreHackney) reported

    @videogamedeals Nintendo having internet technology issues??

  • broodwars64 Broodwars (@broodwars64) reported

    Getting nowhere with the Nintendo store. Page is just spinning trying to load my login.

  • StrangelyEnt Caleb (@StrangelyEnt) reported

    @zenspath @NintendoAmerica Looks like it's the exact same problem as last time. Can't log in and I can even get past the wait room screen.

  • Howling_Allie Signora Mythomagic (@Howling_Allie) reported

    @NintendoAmerica Y’all want to update us on what the heck is going on with your website now? Xenoblade 3 releases in less than a month. I don’t think you can afford to have your website crash out again.

  • B_Boy_Aegis Jonathan Steele (@B_Boy_Aegis) reported

    @LeotheThird @Wario64 @Nintendo I have the same exact problem, same as last time.

  • bear__back bare__bear (@bear__back) reported

    @Wario64 Managed to get it added to cart.. Prompted me to login to checkout... Now the cart won't load at all. It is comical how ******* bad Nintendo is at this.

  • EternalTorment3 Eternal Torment (@EternalTorment3) reported

    Patiently waiting for Nintendo to tweet out "We're sowwy about the technical issues. We'll fix them soon🥰" and then refuse to say anything for another 10 hours

  • sexhaverdeer Ben (@sexhaverdeer) reported

    @NintendoAmerica FIX YOUR ****

  • MyNameTaam Taam? (@MyNameTaam) reported

    good to see that nintendo didnt fix the auto logging out, thats fun

  • Maverick6002 Doug (@Maverick6002) reported

    @NintendoAmerica why can't you guys just come out and say you will make enough of Xenoblade Chronicles 3 Limited edition because the same issue from last time is happening now. This is a bad look. If you guys would come out and say that it would stop this craziness and scalpers!

  • Pannashy 無害の呪い (@Pannashy) reported

    So... the servers at Nintendo are giving 500 error when loading web pages and telling me 429 because...? lmao

  • MiyunoPai Paiguy (@MiyunoPai) reported

    @NintendoAmerica The exact same thing as last time is happening you didn't fix jack ****. **** off and just let me give you money.

  • IOffendedU Sturben (Aka Brian) (@IOffendedU) reported

    @NintendoAmerica Why am I in a waiting room trying to get your game fix your website so it can handle all the traffic or better yet don't put something this big on your website if it cant handle it

  • zbcox BDC (@zbcox) reported

    Currently having issues with the Cart and being able to progress into payment. Sometimes the product will just no longer be in my shopping cart while filling in shipping info. @NintendoAmerica #XenobladeChronicles3

  • RedgraveFlame Redgrave Flame #BringBackDMC5Tech 🛡✈ (@RedgraveFlame) reported

    You'd think @NintendoAmerica would take the L after having their site crash twice because of the demand of the Xenoblade 3 CE and make it available at other retailers like the last 2 games. But that would make to much sense for them.

  • ShiftedPyro Shifted Pyro @ XENOBLADE 3!!!! (@ShiftedPyro) reported

    @stocjia it let me add to cart but not checkout nintendo really thought "damn! changing it from 2 to 1 will solve the problem!" goofy company

  • Cedrik1699 🔥BlueFlame 16🔥 CEO of Vibing (@Cedrik1699) reported

    1. No set time like the last time 2. You release the pre-order without even giving out a update tweet saying you did release the pre-order 3. We gave y'all multiple weeks to fix your nasty *** website 4. Nintendo y'all can't be that dumb

  • KwangsooGaming KwangSoo Gaming (@KwangsooGaming) reported

    @BushJalen @NintendoAmerica This is my issue as well. Dont know whats going on.

  • kuraiholy kuraiholy (@kuraiholy) reported

    @NintendoAmerica like I just opened it up on my phone, went through the queue again, same problem. Why even let more people through if the people that are already through are having so many problems? lol

  • Nino_Starlight Nino Starlight💜⭐ (@Nino_Starlight) reported

    @TheBetrayedCow Yeahhhh, but the Nintendo store has had plenty of issues due to it so I'm not holding my breath. Idk why they didn't just sell it to other retailers (I mean I got my Xenoblade DE from Best Buy so why is this one so special?)

  • Terotrous Adam King (@Terotrous) reported

    @NintendoAmerica The site is completely broken again, Canada now just goes to an instant Wario page.

  • AdamPhi04509309 vgmaster02 (@AdamPhi04509309) reported

    @NinWire Yep, and now I can't even select the game to add to my cart at all... Thanks, Nintendo. Thanks for having a piece of **** website and forcing me to cave in to ******* scalpers and waste over $400 because you couldn't fix your ******* website. Thanks a lot, you pieces of ****.
