  • ShotaAizawaSimp Charlie (he/him (@ShotaAizawaSimp) reported

    nintendo ds never had this one, just the ds lite actually i think i still have it somewhere, just broken and unplayable pff-

  • IMAO_ Frank J. Fleming (@IMAO_) reported

    My son asked if we should write Nintendo with all the problems with that game so they can fix it, but I told him it's a little late.

  • TheKaitoDaaku Kaito's RPG Guild (@TheKaitoDaaku) reported

    @5ully151 @NintendoAmerica Honestly, I blocked this effin Hashtag, cause I was annoyed by it and now I see this??? You guys really have serious problems...

  • meatballchannel Spaghetti & Meatballs (@meatballchannel) reported

    @awesomefan135 As a person that studies piracy screens, it is a fake. The text is very jittery for a big company like Nintendo. When he/she was spinning the cherry and the screen popping up, it looked like a windows error.

  • jultar1000 JULTAR100 (@jultar1000) reported

    @RealAylon @NintendoAmerica There a problem G?

  • boku_wa_yusha おじょ (@boku_wa_yusha) reported

    @SealedAngel Please start working for nintendo to buff and fix hero

  • jemopoppo jemo (@jemopoppo) reported

    @IronJoeBro I honestly don't know much alternatives to a problem like this because knowing Nintendo, they wouldn't listen no matter what we do.

  • AfterHourz89 After Hours (@AfterHourz89) reported

    @So_Ethereal @NintendoAmerica I have both a switch and switch lite. Both sets of joycons on my switch are screwed. Haven’t had ANY issues with the switch lite and I’ve had it for about a year

  • CookieKittyCr Snowy Skyes🌨️❄️ (@CookieKittyCr) reported

    & hopefully 🤞 one day Nintendo will care to add them features to acnh. For now can people stop whining and just play pocket camp? I personally can't bc I have a shitty phone that's about to completely crash. But I see most people have their Lord and savior, god bless,, iPhones.

  • NoOne6927724712 No_One_69 (@NoOne6927724712) reported

    @ChefMansKitter @SPLASHBURR I have a gigabit connection , i play using the lan cable and i still get lag and disconnections on nintendo games.

  • Sjajsk9 Sjajsk (@Sjajsk9) reported

    @CackoNG @DynamoSuperX there is no error message that tells you to destroy the game card. Anti piracy screens made by nintendo tell you to refer to the booklet/manual not destroy the game card. Every video you have seen about that screen is fake and all made by the same person.

  • PowReturns paper mario the origami king stan (@PowReturns) reported

    @ProfessorCagan @5ully151 @NintendoAmerica no problem

  • illiter06432869 illiterate (@illiter06432869) reported

    @Sage37474720 @NintendoAmerica Please, fix this.

  • chordslayermaxo Max (@chordslayermaxo) reported

    errr ok theyre Both issues but... i don’t feel the need for more darkness from nintendo. all these examples of darkness still exist and can be played officially or unofficially

  • AdamDenson5 Adam Denson (@AdamDenson5) reported

    @NintendoUK from someone who works in customer service to another. Great customer service Nintendo!! 🤔#whybother

  • Protocryphal Lake Trout @Forest Floor (@Protocryphal) reported

    You don't even need to provide solutions. Just problems are fine. 2. You never talk about how Nintendo hates their fans. Talk. About. It. again, we don't need solutions, but we need explanations. Ninty is at fault for a lot of garbage but you don't elaborate.

  • BlueberryNerd Keibutt 🏳️‍🌈🏳️‍⚧️ (@BlueberryNerd) reported

    @Chibighost9 they probably will since nintendo doesnt seem to want to fix the issue, but now that i have these i can fiddle with the old ones to try to fix them without worrying about not being able to play if i **** it up

  • jwbarrett22 Jack Barrett (@jwbarrett22) reported

    If Nintendo's online service wasn't such crap I think a Metroid Prime themed battle royale could kick major ***.

  • TheLeggedOne The Legged One (@TheLeggedOne) reported

    If I had a dollar for every broken Nintendo Wii on my shelf I would have $2

  • KirbyLight_2 🎄Kirbylight2🎄 (@KirbyLight_2) reported

    You know the Switch would be almost perfect if Nintendo tries to do a “DS Online” service”. The Switch has a touch screen so it would work with most of the games. Course there’s the issue of playing it on a TV. Maybe it could be remedied via the Joy-cons motion controls?

  • NotNOTIK NOTIK (@NotNOTIK) reported

    @Nintendeal (1/2) At this point i personally feel that Nintendo is just ridiculing us at this point. It's honestly very unprofessional imo. Instead of actually trying to fix the problem, they're just like "no lol" and come out with this ****. It just boils my blood to see well respected

  • otaku_ryozero Insert Username (@otaku_ryozero) reported

    @BTaeter @NintendoAmerica That's your problem.

  • tmassarao Thiago Massarão (@tmassarao) reported

    @ToniluvsGM If you don’t have money to buy it isn’t my problem, I’m well satisfied as it is. Waste is in buying the entire library of wii u again. In fact, if Nintendo is so good, why did they kill the wii u in 3 years? Crap console?

  • realJoseph496 Joseph (@realJoseph496) reported

    @MojangSupport I tried to sign in with my Microsoft account and on my web browser it said you are now signed in on your Nintendo switch but it said signing in on my switch for ages so I restarted then when I opened it it wasn't so I clicked the button again rest in thread

  • deathgaze738 Altanon (クソな外人) (@deathgaze738) reported

    @NintendoUK I love Nintendo, but don't buy this. They've taken great game, done nothing to fix the issues they had, and threw them on to an emulator and charge £50. Mario 64 is still 4x3. It's ridiculous, modders fixed this stuff a decade ago and Nintendo can't be bothered. Come on Nintendo.

  • SSRGatekeeper S.S.R The Mighty Gatekeeper |TLB|FA| (@SSRGatekeeper) reported

    @aWiiboOnYT @NintendoAmerica I don’t see this as a problem

  • mallowdOut Owlbear (@mallowdOut) reported

    @TrueKingOfSkill Thank you! This just happened to me yesterday. My Switch is less than a meter away from my router, and my internet test says I have good speeds and NAT type B. So what's the ******* problem, @NintendoAmerica?

  • SeabornKirsty Kirsty Seaborn (@SeabornKirsty) reported

    @NintendoUK shocking customer service again!! I’ve phoned every Monday for the past 3 weeks wanting to speak to someone about a repair ! Each time, I’ve been told you’ll get back in touch ... never happens! Poor quality console( not fit for purpose) and even poorer aftercare!

  • thuggee168 Thuggee 🎃 (@thuggee168) reported

    @505Support I suspecting it is a problem with the nintendo switch tbh soooooo annoying

  • DamonTheOtaku Damon (@DamonTheOtaku) reported

    @TalesOfCreed At least it's not kids buying Vbucks because Nintendo leaked your information like they did to me. Glad to see it wasn't a major problem and easily fixable!
