    @AmongUsGame hey among us, recently my version of Nintendo Switch has actualized, but I can't scroll the menu in the online public game with the controller, only I can do it with the touch screen of the Nintendo Switch. I want to know if this is a glitch or not

  • CFishmanWeaver Christopher F-Weaver (@CFishmanWeaver) reported

    @daylightpub1066 @FNDungeonMom @Bob_The_Tree Have you played it on the Nintendo Switch? The menus are so tiny it's really a struggle. Maybe they will solve the problem on iOS.

    If you are having problems connecting to realms on Minecraft for Nintendo Switch, disable cloud saves for the game in your switch settings. Everything suddenly starts working! #Minecraft #NintendoSwitch #Mojang

  • Stackett98 Shawn Tackett (@Stackett98) reported

    @michellelynn097 @PlayerEssence yes stop blaming Nintendo for something you the gamer can fix.

  • JamieRa63297458 Jamie Randall (@JamieRa63297458) reported

    @adamantsmartass @Treyarch No clue what Treyarch will do about that. Might as well ask Nintendo to fix it.

  • CoastalGalaxy14 CoastalGalaxy14 (@CoastalGalaxy14) reported

    @_moyparra I try apex on switch and I’m little surprised that it’s not bad at all but there’s a little tiny problem... — A lot of buggy mess of the gameplay, bad glitches, the servers are bad on Nintendo switch & it’s so damn hard to control ur player — The Frame rates are bad as well

  • zaptohome Thomas Green (@zaptohome) reported

    @hpcw_ade @PlayStation I have the common Switch joy-con drift issue. Tried looking into @NintendoUK support site and gave up trying to work out how to get it fixed and probably need replacement controllers whilst their being fixed. Instead used it as a challenge in games to counter the upward drift.

    @TitanfallBlog I try apex on switch and I’m little surprised that it’s not bad at all but there’s a little tiny problem A lot of buggy mess of the gameplay, bad glitches, the servers are bad on Nintendo switch,it’s so damn hard to control ur player,The Graphics are bad as well I’m disappointed

  • fa6maashraf (@fa6maashraf) reported

    I’ve got 99 problems, and @NintendoAmerica releasing Breath of the Wild 2 during another 2021 lockdown would solve them ALL.

  • Woofingson Gibson 🇧🇷🇺🇸🇯🇵🐻 (@Woofingson) reported

    @dontessony @destructoid To be fair I used to cheer for Nintendo when I was like 6~10 years old but that's it. Defending soulless corporates won't fix anything.

  • sajinater @sajington (@sajinater) reported

    that super nintendo switch better knock off at least 5 frames of input lag from ultimate

  • PiotrTroll TrollPiotr (@PiotrTroll) reported

    @Xokija @QuantumSammy @NintendoAmerica Woops, didn't get that, sorry. Still wouldn't count spoilers as a problem tho, it's nice to not be spoiled but it doesn't change anything if you do

  • NickF19479498 Tweedledeedeez (@NickF19479498) reported

    @CrashBandicoot what gives? My crash 4 says I can not play this software yet! And it is out today.... for nintendo switch....

  • ADavatwal Arjun Davatwal #CrashForSmash (@ADavatwal) reported

    Sakurai: Hey, I found the perfect final 2 DLC Fighters. Nintendo: Really what are they? Sakurai: CP10 will be Crash Bandicoot, announced in June during E3 time and CP11 will be Master Chief, iconicy plays a huge part in his inclusion, announced end of october. Nintendo: Woah!

  • DrDro42069 Dr.Dro (@DrDro42069) reported

    @d_yeona @benpwarner @NintendoAmerica Well there is a reason though about physical copies there's the fact of what if the company shut its servers and you can't re-download it. Imagine steam just up and died tho. Servers down can't do jack about those games. Hypothetical. Still actual copies are collectors dreams lol

  • VirtuaJess Jessica DigiSmash ~KIRA600~ (@VirtuaJess) reported

    Nintendo pls pls fix joycon I don't like feeling at risk of breaking my expensive game controller every time I use it it's taking away from the experience please pls

  • MajinTensei1 Hee Ho (@MajinTensei1) reported

    Oh yo Crash 4 is on the Switch, Nintendo fans go play this one, it's literally the most faithful Crash sequel since the third game.

  • deathclawbf Pink bison (@deathclawbf) reported

    @cottonsprout Maybe Nintendo can fix it :((((

  • samiya23_ Samiya (@samiya23_) reported

    @NintendoUK can you respond I bought a Nintendo switch console and it’s not working????

  • Megazx456 Nicholas “megazx456” Evans (@Megazx456) reported

    @asu1993 @NintendoAmerica Only issues I’m having is trying to see what’s on screen. The blurryness is making me think I’m developing cataracts on my eyes😳😳😳

  • nikita_9215 Nikita (@nikita_9215) reported

    I’m politely asking @NintendoUK and @animalcrossing if they could do an update where you can have 15 villagers as my heart is broken saying goodbye to certain villagers just to get my dreamies, thanks

  • DieAntDieYT DieAntDie (@DieAntDieYT) reported

    @Beta64Official (There are tons of solutions to this problem of course, but I worry that Nintendo specifically would compensate by making the game overly easy as a result of it being so large, and for an explorative platformer I just don't think that approach would work. But it could be done!)

  • garsedj David Touchdown (@garsedj) reported

    @SlashBryz @crystarius @Kotaku You don't like having everything for free on emulators AND you don't demand that nintendo provides it at an affordable price. Seems like the problem is you. 😕

  • patricknotirl patrick (@patricknotirl) reported

    nintendo wii broken

  • y6WvE3oBAiu9ffQ 张晨阳 (@y6WvE3oBAiu9ffQ) reported

    @PlayApex @NintendoAmerica I was banned for playing apex with a friend, is this game not allowed to play between friends? The complaint is still not answered, customer service explained no reason for the ban, it turns out that you are a company that can ban players' accounts for no reason

  • DragonJustPlay1 Dragon Just Plays (@DragonJustPlay1) reported

    Oh my god @Pokemon or @Nintendo. What is with your complete trash of connecting locally between 2 games. For **** sakes FIX IT

    @SoloAsylum They're probably gunna try and push Games Pass on other platforms. Pretty sure Sony and Nintendo have said no to that though as it requires a Xbox Login bypassing their paid services etc
