  • Nuttyinks Steven (@Nuttyinks) reported

    @likeazurestars Welcome to the unfortunate world of "Joycon Drift" It's been a problem since the switch first released and the only options are send them into the Nintendo to get them fixed or buy new ones (I have 3 sets, two drift)

  • Jack_Vath Jack Vath (@Jack_Vath) reported

    @beautyofhelin @PocMonOfficial @FightRugs No copyright issues with Nintendo?

  • HylianGeekBoy G E R A L D (@HylianGeekBoy) reported

    @pasta_wheat @PlayStation This is actually a problem regardless of how much time they have done it as Microsoft, Nintendo and those vrands like Hori, PowerA etc does it all the time since 3 generations back? But I'm with you, I don't get why they do this being exactly the same but new color

  • CostasLapiotis Constantine Lapiotis (@CostasLapiotis) reported

    @gamasutra Another problem is that the German only rating logo is twice as big as the Nintendo Switch logo.

  • SpeerofD3stiny Joshua Speer (@SpeerofD3stiny) reported

    While admittedly I haven't used My Nintendo to get anything for a long while, it's odd I can't get the rewards to load lately. Been a couple weeks and I keep getting error messages. Anybody else had this problem? I might need to call Nintendo up...

  • ODST_B_RICH92 Feet First into Halo (@ODST_B_RICH92) reported

    @tylergriffiths0 Because it would be huge for Xbox and Nintendo. Crash is cool but he isn’t as cool as Master Chief.

  • dwikiputranto Unmotivated but PMA (@dwikiputranto) reported

    SMOKING BROKEN WINDOW JUST PLAYIN MY NINTENDO IF U FCK WITH ME THEN ILL PULL UP MY EXTENDO

  • NintendoShame Nintendo Shame (@NintendoShame) reported

    It's been 85 days since the last game was added to the Nintendo Switch Online service

  • SugaryPrince_ ☕️Prince Cinnamon Sugar☕️ @ #KidneyForMinty (@SugaryPrince_) reported

    @NintendoAmerica @MojangSupport Hi, I bought a game card for Minecraft, it worked for a little while then it went to a black screen and wouldn't load then told me it had crashed due to an error. Today, I bought the game via the store on the switch and the same thing is happening.

  • KupaDingus ⛧✫Kupa Dingus✫⛧ (@KupaDingus) reported

    The fact that the eshop updated and added 4 more new games and not baldurs gate dark alliance is kinda wild im starting to think its not a nintendo problem

  • emilysunflowerx emily🐝 (@emilysunflowerx) reported

    @Friday13thGame Is anyone else struggling to get into a full match on Nintendo switch? Is it a server problem or are people just not playing anymore?:(

  • DylanKimmerling Dylan Kimmerling (@DylanKimmerling) reported

    @Turak64 @GameSpot I think the problem is that Nintendo needs to have stricter regulations on what goes on their platform/online store. There is more useless junk on the eShop than in my grandmothers attic…

  • hoejenry16 Hoejenry (@hoejenry16) reported

    @NintendoAmerica Does anyone else have heat issues when playing Fortnite in the dock?

  • AdyanTalks adyan (@AdyanTalks) reported

    @IGN nintendo fix my joycons 🤨

  • Seven19YT ❄️💙𝒮𝑒𝓋𝑒𝓃𝟣𝟫💗🌸 (@Seven19YT) reported

    If Crash bandicoot gets into Smash the trailer better start as live action with the Mascot costumes as a throw back the old commercial for Smash 64 and the Crash 1 commercial where he goes to Nintendo HQ

  • DuplicateRed RedDuplicate (@DuplicateRed) reported

    @ADavatwal @NintendoAmerica @E3 I'm guessing it'll either be crash or rayman. They feel like the biggest bets.

  • Radiant_Enigma ntwewy is 2 months away now (@Radiant_Enigma) reported

    Wish Nintendo offered that as a service tbh

  • Abraham33050381 Abraham Gonzalez (@Abraham33050381) reported

    @EAHelp Yes for tots on nintendo switch the card is gray and say not found and I already reported this but has not been fix please help thanks

  • MAGZen03 MAGZen #Stayzen (@MAGZen03) reported

    @knockoutcity @NintendoAmerica It was stated look it up it. It was also on the beta login page. Also on the web site

  • gloriaboboria Phantasmagloria (@gloriaboboria) reported

    it's hilarious to me that a player-found glitch is generating more hype for ACNH than the last 3 'content' patches. ofc it's a fun glitch that harms nothing, so nintendo will have it patched out in a jiffy i'm sure.

  • ParodyKyleBLU Kyle BLU (@ParodyKyleBLU) reported

    @TennisStar20 I hate that you have internet access to the internet providers and i dont even if they made a copy to your account that they are not on internet access to internet access internet providers or not to do it anymore because i is still not a problem for the nintendo internet

  • Burntpork92 Fucktpork (@Burntpork92) reported

    @Nuzzyfuts55 @DuncanCantDie Here's the problem: you can't have rules applied arbitrarily. That leads to way bigger problems than this. Nintendo doesn't moderate pricing. Therefore, it breaks no rules. I doubt Nintendo saw something like this coming.

  • AustinHammer12 Roflewaffle47 (@AustinHammer12) reported

    @PlayStationCA Please fix the drift issue. Nintendo was first, now you guys. Please don't be like Nintendo and fix this issue fast

  • ChaoticGingerr ChaoticGinger (@ChaoticGingerr) reported

    @NintendoAmerica hey got a question why is it my friend gets in trouble for a custom design of a cute butt on Animal Crossing but literally search up butt on there and there is literally a DICKBUTT? GG

  • H_Sensa 🎅🏿Lon (@H_Sensa) reported

    @Ozychlyrus84 @PlayerEssence On the American side, it seems like they understand. But trying to get the Japanese branch that has all the power to so anything is a known problem. Both Sega and Nintendo have this problem.

  • Debeste0Debeste 𝚂𝚎𝚋𝚊𝚜𝚝𝚒𝚊𝚗 𝙳𝚎𝚋𝚎𝚜𝚝𝚎 (@Debeste0Debeste) reported

    People were expecting wind waker to be super scary and dark but then it came out as super cartooney and cute and everyone was mad. Nintendo tried to fix this problem by making twilight princess but everyone was mad at them for trying to fix it after disappointing them so bad,,

  • MochiPupusa MochiPupusa (@MochiPupusa) reported

    @Hana_VGC @pickleyVGC PARSEC, whoever completes sample sets of problems. Probably would be huge but Nintendo would still ignore the community.

  • KusterHana SuperCutie14 (@KusterHana) reported

    @Ret2ModGaming @HeavySmashing That's the problem. Nintendo hates fan-made mods.

  • wilsenal Wilsenal🇩🇴 (@wilsenal) reported

    @I_DeathSinger_I Psnow is mostly for new ppl to catch up on ps brand. Ps plus and play at home drops games monthly for free every month too. Ps and Nintendo fans don't have a problem buying games now.

  • XenithLive Xenith (@XenithLive) reported

    @CaptainEBT @Wisecup0 @NintendoAmerica Games that are the same price don't seem to have any problem animating thousands of characters.
