A Fluff of Six Dawnies 🐇💖🌈 (@MothyPrincess) reported@SizeShifterZach @NintendoAmerica i hope they fix this bug its,, rather problematic for a motion based game they did flawlessly 16 years ago
-
Nintendo Shame (@NintendoShame) reportedIt's been 288 days since the last game was added to the Nintendo Switch Online service

NoCentss (@NoCentsei) reported@Supes00 Man my character is broken lol I'm about to file a report to Nintendo today!
-
Lena | 🏳️⚧️ (@LunarLena_) reported@BKetch13 yea i run into this issue constantly :c i don't understand why nintendo puts limits on **** like this lmao
-
Alex! (@Jjustaalex) reported@zadtwt I feel that one day fans are gonna get tired and make their own game. Every franchise community has done that, the problem is that they have the power to shoot down the project regardless if its a nonprofit. Nintendo and Activision have several rotting IPs with no plan
-
Hulk Hoggle (Ryan Breeze) (@HulkHoggle) reported@Reecee_yt @NintendoAmerica I noticed this. I thought to myself hang on didn't they originally move? Curious if it's a glitch or if they just dumbed it down
-
therealSUNM (@superunm) reportedSo I just got banned from smash online AGAIN but this time cause I was "excessively targeting one player" in a 1v1v1. @NintendoAmerica fix your ******* game.
-
Colby Meyer (@ColbyMe69) reported@FortniteStatus Can yall fix nintendo switch now too again
-
LunarBolt1984 (@LunarBolt1984) reported@NintendoAmerica Did you fix the cars Nintendo? They drive in tour, why the hell not in MK 8 Deluxe?
-
Nick Overacker (@nick_overacker) reported@jokermadhouse @SchalaV @NinWire The issue isn't that people who played it didn't like it. It's that people didn't play the game that Nintendo itself told us "stunk". The "ew gross lol" style marketing is a terrible way to put this particular game in the hands of people who would champion it.
-
@ajiwar (@ajiwar) reportedMy wife is trying to convince me to buy nintendo switch for fun physical games, but I think probably VR headset more relevant for physical games. The problem is, I don't know how to compare those two since I don't have any experience for either gadget.
-
Yarik (@yarik_simple) reported@motiontwin Dear @motiontwin, bank biome very laggy on Nintendo Switch in handheld mode, can you fix it?
-
Top Player Lucretio (@TopPlayerLUU) reportedIf Nintendo didn't patch that, there would be nothing found bigger than THAT glitch, it was insane. We tried to keep it hush hush in the ROB discord so that we could present it properly and give credit where credit was due. Someone in there caught wind and posted immediately.
-
Hulk Hoggle (Ryan Breeze) (@HulkHoggle) reported@NintendoAmerica Where are the moving shy guy cars in the parking area. They use to move, is it broken or did you dumb it down?
-
PerrySportsLegends (@PerrySportsLLC) reported@karsonwithak When I was a kid (showing my age here), and if I got in trouble my mom would take the Nintendo adapter cord with her to work… There was nothing I could do! There was no Amazon, I couldn’t just go buy one when I was 12 years old… Those were some tough times!
-
Victor (@TheZTarget) reported@gazer_tales @IGN It is a bad thing. I've been on both sides and working in-house gives you a lot of advantages. But that is more a problem of labour laws and regulations, I think, than about Nintendo itself. Of course, Nintendo could always put more money to directly hire outsourced workers.
-
Saxmaster896 Streams (@saxmasterStream) reportedSo I managed to finally fix my old Nintendo Wii! Which got me thinking on how I can use it for streams. So I will ask for tomorrow, what would you like to see me play? More Minecraft or something on the wii/gamecube?
-
The name of the next nintendo console is... (@SwitchEveryword) reportedNintendo Switch eye-service
-
Stephen Smith (@SteYouLater24) reported@TWTHEREDDRAGON I mean if u don't put games on gamepass the issue is it has little chance in selling unfortunately and if Microsoft doesn't value it or pay well why should they just put it on there when playstation pc and Nintendo will generally sell and also they can sell collector editions
-
Dreamer of a Zealous Sole (@gazer_tales) reported@TheZTarget @IGN The way to solve this problem would be too have indie studios work under Nintendo for a brief period with the rights of the in house devs. To kind of give the studio devs a bit of a reputation for resume and give the contracted ideas to Nintendo or some similar idea.
-
D💿G (@WetWaif) reportedsee the problem with me is generational because i grew up a sega kid and not a playstation vs xbox situation or a nintendo side. but I side with sony, i’m sorry. I have never owned an xbox in my entire life and I.. never had interest. but also **** getting a ps5 wtf????
-
AceBaltasar (@Acebalt1) reported@ToyoshiG3 @vicvicv45496975 You are talking as if nintendo cared for fans. Nintendo looks at money, gen 5 did badly and took time, so taking time was asumed to be the problem.
-
Joe (@SouthernJoeJoe) reported@F47572SpiderMan @truebill Call your bank. I know someone who had the same problem, let’s just say it might not actually be Nintendo charging you.
-
meriam (@eatingbooks00) reportedall of my nintendo games just got broken istg I hate my ******* life
-
Chaotic Jersey/RIP Tekken Zaibatsu (@ChaoticJersey) reported@CrungleBungles And Nintendo will absolutely REFUSE to fix GTS on any Gen games, because that's how much they suck.
-
Ambient Malice (@Ambient_Malice) reported@Neo_Kaiser @KungFuMan316 MP has "eh" writing by videogame standards, which are in the basement below the skyscraper that film writing writing lives in. Samus is such a fundamentally undercooked character that it took decades before the "Nintendo don't understand what bounty hunters are" issue came up.
-
Connor (The Batman’s burner account 🦇) (@SoapBoxGames) reported@OfficialXboxU Right but their answer as to why they aren’t doing it is because it didn’t sell well on the system according to them. I don’t think that’s a problem if devs have legitimate reasons as to why they don’t want to update/bring titles to PS/Xbox/Nintendo
-
Kevin Geisler 🍔 (@luthyr) reported@StarchiPuppy Hi, this is a known issue on Nintendo Switch we are working to get patched. You will need to not redeploy the Buggy Ball when it leaves the arena at the start and only use the Cheddorbs with the launchers. Wait until the Buggy Ball returns on its own for the final phase.

AlexTheMeh (@Alexand37514993) reportedHow do I bully @Nintendo into giving me a refund for a broken game.
