  @astamour14 Oh damn. That’s a pretty egregious error. Thank you for bringing it to my attention. I’ll be writing a strongly worded letter to Mr. Nintendo

  Hey @EASPORTS, just got my first Madden since '13 (because you stopped making them for Nintendo)! When did you get rid of the Sprint Button!? I press R2, but it doesn't work (yet it works everywhere else in the game). Am I doing something wrong, or is your game just broken?

  @blueblur06 @AHobbykids @sonic_hedgehog Saw that. Apparently, data loss is affecting all platforms, the game is so broken that Nintendo is even issuing refunds for anyone who bought the game, you have to call customer support and ask for a refund

  @NintendoCanada Thanks for the great customer service! One of our joy-cons stopped worked. We sent it to to you and you sent a new one within a week. Impressive!

  @PlayApex There is an issue on Nintendo switch where games just won’t be counted for badges or rank RP. This has been going on for about a month for me

  @togobap @Lbabinz @Zarina__2610 That’s the trouble with Nintendo’s site. I hate the shipping fee I likely won’t be ordering this set. Not interesting enough for me.

  Well, If I still have problems with it after this re-install, It's still a good time to go back to NV #falloutaddict My disc drive doesn't work anymore as I have the original XBone that looks like a VCR from 1986. And I wanna thank @Microsoft for pulling a nintendo w/ series X

  @2020_Gaming It’s insane! I’ve never had a problem with Nintendo before. 😭

  @posschamp i just dont trust nintendo not to be able to detect it somehow in case i need to service it >paranoid

  @SonicBlueRanger @JohnTibbetts2 @Somecallmejon Not to mention now we don't know which one glitch is fake or real. Like someone posted the car crashing on Colors footage meme through Nintendo Switch Share. It doesn't change the fact that just waiting to pounce on it was just counterproductive.

  did club nintendo have this problem too? or is this a new thing?

• 
  Lela Benet (@LelaBenet) reported 28 minutes ago

  @DiceLegacy Not your fault. More a rant at the fact that this is a common issue for people outside of the US who play on the Nintendo Switch (or even other consoles for that matter) Thanks for the reply though :)

  @SmashHollow What they did was absolutely vile and disgusting!, i don't think Nintendo is gonna Crash to smash due to those events.

  @NintendoAmerica my daughter's Switch remote on the left side is slightly loose. Anything I can do to fix it?

  @Toadsanime This just goes to show that people want smash to be so much better but the main issue is nintendo prevents it’s true potential, because of that Nickelodeon all star brawl hopefully will steal the show and just teach nintendo a lesson lol

  @Mamodxx I was but then Nintendo updated the Wii U after that and after trying to fix it I gave up because the boot site didn't work anymore 💀

  Contrarian Barbarian (@basquiatball) reported 42 minutes ago

  @RodsFromGod I can't feel the last 3 fingers on my left hand so the opposite is true for me, but it doesn't functionally prevent me from playing every Nintendo or PS exclusive so I'll take my issues over ours

  @mattswider @hood_vic Why watch something that's only going to make me want something I can't get even more? This is just sad, at least Nintendo fixed their issue quickly.

  I slept two houra and all I got were two trailers for games that I already knew I'd be buying. Like totally not worth the trouble XD If it weren't for FFXVI I would really reconsider buying a Ps5 Nintendo Direct when?

  Online chat with Nintendo to fix my son’s Nintendo switch. I bought a new battery for it. Proprietary screws. Good times this should take forever.

  @Exile451 i've had many more problems with sony hardware and use it far less than i ever used my nintendo ****. drift is a tip of the iceberg

  @BricksOBrian, I sent joycon controllers to Nintendo to be fixed but they’re out of warranty. Do you know of a recycling program for broken switch joycons? I’m also happy to mail them to you if you’ll have use for them.

  @Nayuki_RN @NintendoAmerica It better ******* not be. I know damn well it's goddamn Lethal Lava Land and not Lethal Lava Trouble, there ain't no interdimensional reptilian that'll convince me that there's only 1 mandatory A press in LLT instead of LLL.

  @XiaomuArisu and while I understand its for the servers. Steam offers servers to devs and for us players, they're are great. I cant speak for PS servers, but Nintendo online service is absolute dogshit compared to free stuff PC offers

  PS6 and Xbox Nu-**** will have 610 mega shits per terafarts and sound like an airplane hanger and have 5f input lag on every fighting game and then I boot my desktop and Windows 11 shoots me in the face and then I turn on the Nintendo Switch and cry at Tsukihime only in Japanese

  @AppleGlenRei As somewhat of an AC vet, the furniture exclusivity is my biggest beef with NH. The game strikes me as designed to funnel all into paying for Nintendo's subpar online service, since that's the only shot of getting specific furniture colors we want. Online used to be free, too smh
