    So I’m still waiting for my @Xbox series x I ordered it through Xbox all access I know it takes time but I can’t wait to try tmnt on there Xbox game pass ultimate service I might consider continuing after 2 years I currently pay for @NintendoAmerica online

  • BiskitBoiMJ_ BiskitBoiMJ (@BiskitBoiMJ_) reported

    @MikuChan1998 @NintendoUK Its not unplayable. Sure its lacking content, but unplayable would mean that it's so glitch ridden that its physically impossible to play.

  • scrunklyluna luna (@scrunklyluna) reported

    @radsaza @nintendo @mojang let them pay or we're gonna have Problems .

  • RealSashaD Sasha Dawkins✨ (@RealSashaD) reported from Gosport, England

    @NintendoUK @NintendoEurope I linked my PayPal & added funds (£20) on the 2/7 to my account via PayPal for an online membership for 12 months. When I check on my Switch, my account is saying PayPal is not linked and I have no funds! How do I fix this?

  • but_step But_Step_Bro (@but_step) reported

    @NintendoAmerica fix your sports or add more because it's honestly trash at this point.

  • XboXSL4Y3R XboX SL4Y3R (@XboXSL4Y3R) reported

    @vicious696 @netflix Why should Netflix follow what others do? This is my issue with you, with gaming you do the same as you want everyone to follow what Xbox does but PlayStation and Nintendo are far more successful than Xbox with the business model they have in place.

  • ajabs85 Austin (@ajabs85) reported

    The lag in Mario Maker 2 multiplayer makes it nearly unplayable. Why has @NintendoAmerica not found a better way to make this work yet?

  • justanothervgst Do you like games, movies and comics? (@justanothervgst) reported

    2 of 2 but my friend @DaGameCollector and I had major lag on Mario 3. My suspicion is that Nintendo does not support their retro online play with sufficiently with a good network or internet infrastructure. Anyone out there know about this...?

  • NabikiTendoN64 Smooth Bean🇸🇪Sparrow (@NabikiTendoN64) reported

    @DistantFoxx @chuggaaconroy True but no one bash sony and micosoft when they have same issue only Nintendo get attacked for it

  • kicktheinfinity m (@kicktheinfinity) reported

    the nintendo switch docking issue is one of my biggest pet peeves i hate this console sometimes 🙃

  • ZoteMilk ZoteMilk (@ZoteMilk) reported

    @blacknwhtmaroi @breakingmorb @NintendoAmerica You're throwing a tantrum because you couldn't spend money on the overpriced copy of the game, there is no issue, suck it up, the game still exists, buy that, you don't need a steel book to prove yourself

  • Rad_Dudesman King Rad (@Rad_Dudesman) reported

    @NinEverything The issue isn't that they can't develop them (especially with Nintendo outsourcing so many of their games), the issue is that they can't market all of them at the same time.

  • sir_lefty_ttv Sir Lefty (@sir_lefty_ttv) reported

    Scalpers haven’t helped the issue either. Given Nintendo’s messy first shot at launching this pre-order and the chaos of this second one, I think it’s fair to expect better. Is it unfair to expect a company as big as @NintendoAmerica to have the infrastructure to handle this?

  • blacknwhtmaroi black and white mario (@blacknwhtmaroi) reported

    @breakingmorb @ZoteMilk @NintendoAmerica ...the entire day, without offering any explanation or apology for the problems. This is why I said they had absolutely no respect for our time, they expect us to keep trying for hours on end, fighting against their **** website to cop.

  • blacknwhtmaroi black and white mario (@blacknwhtmaroi) reported

    @ZoteMilk @breakingmorb @NintendoAmerica If Nintendo massively ***** up, they deserve all the backlash they get. This wouldn't have even been an issue if Nintendo had allowed retailers to sell it, like literally every other special edition of every other game.

  • ThatsSoDebonair Debhausen 🌈🍷 (@ThatsSoDebonair) reported

    @jbroody @LordMoyer @NintendoAmerica I'm not really into video games, but I'll try it. The only video games I've ever been good at are Mario Bros, Tetris, Pacman, Crash Bandicoot, and Mario Kart pretty much lmao

  • GFallsBelieber Rew! #10YearsofGravityFalls (@GFallsBelieber) reported

    @Nefylia Really need them to restock on this ;-; I‘ve thought of trying to chat with Nintendo customer service just to see if they can say when/if a restock is happening xP

  • LWG_Live LWG_Live🐺 (@LWG_Live) reported

    @NintendoAmerica And yet I'm not getting DK64 for the NSO service lol

  • AlexandreMafr12 Alexandre Mafra (@AlexandreMafr12) reported

    @Nintendo_USA I do need your help! I bought for my kid a New nintendo switch in the beggining of the year in Switzerland during our vacation. It stop charging Last month and is not working anymore. We Live in Brazil and there is no nintendo store or repair store there.

  • blacknwhtmaroi black and white mario (@blacknwhtmaroi) reported

    @ZoteMilk @breakingmorb @NintendoAmerica Anyways, this has nothing to do with the cuphead dlc, and everything to do with Nintendo's **** up and their subsequent failure to fix their ******* site, so please get the stick out of your ***. Nobody is bad mouthing your game, so there's no need to cry.

  • NotBoogey Noob Saibot 🌐 (@NotBoogey) reported

    @RecDTRH There's a Mask video game? They need put this on the Nintendo Online service.

  • Nyax_50_Lopez NYAX #50 Lopez 🔞 commissions coming soon! (@Nyax_50_Lopez) reported

    @AndrewAlerts Nah I know the pro switch isn't coming in until 2100 which is stated by Nintendo. Since they are doing everything to fix the joy con drift :v

  • JustJustas5 JustJustas69 (@JustJustas5) reported

    @MythicKar @KatiesQuine @FallGuysGame This happened to me when I tried logging in to Fortnite for the past few weeks (I play on nintendo). Today I finally solved it. I loged into Fortnite on my laptop, first time it gave me an error, but the second time it worked. So I restarded my nintendo and logged into Fortnite.
