  • hawlucha47 WSD | Hawlucha47 (@hawlucha47) reported

    @Mr_RSmash doesn't Nintendo support basically include roll back? Cause they would see all the issues is they did support and try and do what they can to improve it.

  • TempestDriver 🏳️‍🌈 ♂️ 🎮 John 🎮 ♂️ 🏳️‍🌈 (@TempestDriver) reported

    You know I hope Nintendo fixes the problem with the version 12.0.3 update cause it's noticed by the time age of calamity comes out and I can't download it imma be mad at the update.

  • Scoot_SSB Scoot (@Scoot_SSB) reported

    They shouldn't have nerfed k rool when the game came out. Nintendo saw the kroc winning on elite and were like "nah we have to fix this💀"

  • OwMyThumbz ✨ OwMyHead ✨ (@OwMyThumbz) reported

    @LyricArtist9 @GenshinImpact I Google it every day Nintendo Switch Genshin News, all that's new was that they're having hardware issues, could be a rumor though, but I have a feeling Switch Pro

  • FalKoopa_ फ़ैलकूपा🌈 (@FalKoopa_) reported

    I would say "Sell Crash and Spyro to Nintendo" but I'm not ready for the sentence "Nintendo has a scrimblo bimblo monopoly"

  • fidelityow overwatch 2 more like number of tanks? not 2 (@fidelityow) reported

    imagine being a pc player and getting a nintendo switch player, you cause any lag and their switch would just explode OMEGALUL

  • KoryHayes4 Kory Hayes (@KoryHayes4) reported

    @FortniteStatus Nintendo switch has download issues, can you fix that?

  • Jabwarrior1 Jabwarrior (@Jabwarrior1) reported

    @CaptnPickle @vrgeta3201 @NintendoAmerica Just dont talk about drift, you dont ned to be Joycons 2 we got rid of drift, you can be like joycons 2 HDer rumble, and fix the drift but still act like it never was a thing and you never fixed

  • WifesBoyfriend8 Boyfriend of your wife (@WifesBoyfriend8) reported

    @Mr_RSmash Nintendo support. If Nintendo supported the scene and was more hands on it would make solving all the other problems with smash competitively a lot easier with direct access to the source.

  • philmiletic Phil Miletic (@philmiletic) reported

    @emmahvossen Growing up, it was buying specific guides or Nintendo Power. I loved my Majora’s Mask guide b/c it showed how to get all the masks! Now, I just google a problem or for completion.I did find ppl frowned on me using guides for the Souls games b/c it wasn’t “experiencing” the game.

  • ARX7Laevatein Kyle Davidson (@ARX7Laevatein) reported

    Looks as though Nintendo are emailing out to say they apologise for the Age of Calamity expansion issue and that we will need to buy it as normal to access it. this makes sense. If you did this, you won't be able to purchase the expansion now till the first wave releases

  • InuyashaSan87 Inu💖 🇨🇦 (@InuyashaSan87) reported

    @Adultito This is offtopic but its funny a company as big as Nintendo still has a crappy online service meanwhile xbox knows how to do it no problem

  • wiedo Wiedo Belochkin (@wiedo) reported

    @The_Elite_MYT I wonder what was cheaper for Nintendo. Fixing the error or just let some lucky few have the content for free. Pretty greedy move tbh.

  • TempestDriver 🏳️‍🌈 ♂️ 🎮 John 🎮 ♂️ 🏳️‍🌈 (@TempestDriver) reported

    Yo Kronz @Kron0z_C how did you get that Email from Nintendo about the age of calamity DLC ? Stuff was there a problem on your end ? Cause I got the dlc before the thing where it said something about the promotional items you can get lol I got it before all this happened.

  • Bites_twt Bites' Official Twt (@Bites_twt) reported

    @NintendoAmerica Ninetno pleause annonce smack brahs I wan crash babinkoot pleeease

  • Yoship424 Malik Perry (@Yoship424) reported

    @RedEyesTops Had to drive all the way their, (this issue is fixed as they are either next to or very close to Nintendo's headquarters). And hire more people isn't as simple as 1,2 and 3 buddy, especially during development. If they did it before development, it's pretty plausible they could.

  • celebritygus return the slab (@celebritygus) reported

    @the1kim I’m not working during Nintendo’s showcase so u better believe I will be TUNED IN

  • CoolerReeeeddit Epic ''blu'' ''engineer'' ''facts'' (@CoolerReeeeddit) reported

    @AssWooperReboot @NintendoAmerica fix this sin by adding 2 TF2 costumes

  • Radical_Doppio Doppio 🦉🦉🦉 (@Radical_Doppio) reported

    @hangeisms i i'm so sorry holy **** i'll fistfight nintendo behind a denny's and have them fix their joy-con **** drift is genuinely hellish and i wouldn't wish that on even my worst enemy

  • CaptnPickle CaptnPickle (@CaptnPickle) reported

    @Jabwarrior1 @vrgeta3201 @NintendoAmerica Wanna know the crazy part? Best way to fix the issue is to replace the rubbery plastic of the stik base, with hard plastic instead.

  • hangeisms zan 🌲🏕 (@hangeisms) reported

    @Radical_Doppio If joy cons didn’t have such terrible drift issues they’d prob be able to expand on their color options but people don’t wanna spend money on cute controllers if they’re gonna have to send it in to Nintendo next year (aka me with my acnh switch :)))))) )

  • bethyoder_133 bethel 🍄 🪴 ✨ (@bethyoder_133) reported

    I love how @NintendoAmerica is trying to charge me $100 to fix my switch I’ve had for literally 6 months. I’m PISSED. I have Nintendo products my entire life. I won’t do it again.

  • Mumin92855397 Mumin (@Mumin92855397) reported

    Hi @DodgeRollGames do you plan to fix the terrible stuttering on Nintendo Switch? For now, it's a blatant scam and a waste of money because the game is unplayable.

  • ryanoftheabyss Ryan (@ryanoftheabyss) reported

    So turns out Switch motherboard is broken. Meaning my only option is to send it into Nintendo. Oh, and trying to redownload Mass Effect did 1 and 2... but 3 won’t download and I’m on the FINAL mission. Im going to ******* EXPLODE!

  • DoctorDenise King of Hearts (@DoctorDenise) reported

    @AnthonyGriffion @NintendoAmerica I mean the PS5 is releasing games from last gen with no significant changes for $70 so eh. Either way those are separate issues. I never said they weren't greedy, all companies are. Their existence is to make money. I don't know why you keep bringing these other reasons up

  • alex_mjt MJT-Alex (@alex_mjt) reported

    @Failboat103 the problem: there are only 3840 games on the nintendo switch. those are baby numbers. the solution: wait 2 days for game builder garage to release. AND MAKE THEM OURSELVES.

  • LizzardyOnline Celes (@LizzardyOnline) reported

    @PlayDauntless Crash a lot in Nintendo Switch, more when are 6 in a island and there is snow. Maybe reduce the snow?

  • Phoney80157804 Phoney (@Phoney80157804) reported

    @AssWooperReboot @PlayOverwatch @NintendoAmerica play that broken game 20v20 with trolls

  • CaptnPickle CaptnPickle (@CaptnPickle) reported

    @Jabwarrior1 @vrgeta3201 @NintendoAmerica If Nintendo made better joycons, it would justify the class action as Nintendo would be admitting there was a problem. That damn Class Action is why they can't fix the cons.
