  • patricknotirl patrick (@patricknotirl) reported

    nintendo wii broken

  • Ogoidsepol Diogo (@Ogoidsepol) reported

    @NintendoAmerica The twitter app does not allow to login anymore.

  • mzkjnky80 Mzkjnky80 (@mzkjnky80) reported

    @Gaming4Life84 And what if xcloud ends up on switch? Its a streaming service that requires a subscription. Do you honestly thing that would undermine xbox? If anything it would probably help sales of xbox when nintendo fans get to see xbox exclusives and they would want to play them natively.

  • realgamerwithg1 The Gamer with Glasses (@realgamerwithg1) reported

    These Switch joy cons are honestly a huge flop from Nintendo. I had one that I had to get fixed a couple months ago for drifting and now my left one won't work unless attached to the system. I'm frustrated they still think there isn't an issue.

  • Mask_ken cnitsu :D (@Mask_ken) reported

    @justadoggo__ @NintendoAmerica I got them returned 9 times and 2 days later same issue with drifting lmfao I just want free joycons

  • felipefesantana Felipe Santana (@felipefesantana) reported

    @Lasthorix @Animus_jam @NintendoAmerica It actually has. The same problem is happening with the dual sense, which was made by the same company

  • Anti_Bullyon 🦴Moarev⚔️🎃 (..hnyear🖐️) (@Anti_Bullyon) reported

    @NintendoAmerica Oh, so you saying you gonna fix the switch problems?

  • pasta_wheat Quarantined Box of Wheat Pasta (@pasta_wheat) reported

    @ShadowFoxArche Folders have been a requested feature updates ago, but we all know for the most part Nintendo doesn't listen to fans of their strive for better of their products. The ones that don't just continue to consume regardless of quality issues. [2]

  • Deertinee ♔ Deertine ♔⚧️🇨🇦 BLM (Comms OPEN) (@Deertinee) reported

    I'm about to pop a blood vessel My switch is so stupid like every download has to be done like 10 times cause It keeps giving me errors and corrupted data errors. Doesn't even tell me whyyy 😔 @NintendoAmerica help me

  • bilomiIo ♓︎ (@bilomiIo) reported

    @uzumarxi that’s so dead i didn’t even realise switches had fans 😭 maybe u could email nintendo abt the faults and see if they can fix it for ya somehow if u need to for the joycon anyway !

  • jimmytheboi_ 21 (@jimmytheboi_) reported

    When pay for Nintendo Online if there's always ******* lag in every match for Smash??

  • budywudy9_osu Budywudy9 (@budywudy9_osu) reported

    love when the ******* servers are lagging to **** and someone gets into the spawn and even though you land THREE CONSECUTIVE POINT BLANK SHOTS ON SOMEONE WITH A WEAPON THAT IS A ONE-SHOT KILL AT THAT RANGE *AND IT REGISTERS* THEY DONT COUNT AND I DIE INSTEAD. ******* nintendo

  • kaseykockroach Kasey Kockroach (@kaseykockroach) reported

    @MattMcMuscles @MarioIsBroken Nintendo can afford to have every game of theirs run flawlessly online. They’ve got more than enough cash to spare. You shouldn’t have to put up with a crappy online service you’re paying for just because it ‘sometimes’ works fine for you.

  • SayYesToDepress Mr.Meme🏳️‍🌈 #bIm (NO I WONT SHUT UP ABOUT DAISY) (@SayYesToDepress) reported

    @Pazztall1 I only found them yesterday, I checked the My Nintendo website daily as soon a January came. Maybe it was a glitch in the system and Nintendo just shipped them to you because you already paid and they had them already lol.

  • Gson84912409 Ridly (@Gson84912409) reported

    @swshriv @NintendoAmerica They fix it for free

  • CapFireTiger CaptainFireTiger (@CapFireTiger) reported

    @Animus_jam @NintendoAmerica This is Nintendo we're talking about, you really think they will solve that issue after 4 years of launch date lmao

  • Gaming4Life84 Oldschoolgamer1984 (@Gaming4Life84) reported

    @mzkjnky80 Nintendo gamers want games on the go as seen with how well the switch is doing so they will have no problems paying for xcloud. It's the casual gamers market were sales of the Xbox hardware might end up being lower as hardcore gamers are more commited to the brand's.

  • MCot01 Matthew Cotgrave (@MCot01) reported

    @Stitch101YT @XboxSupport Its more that the Xbox Support twitter report many outages even if its very minor. Quite a lot of them have nothing to do with the xbox live service or infrastructure. I may be wrong but I don't think either sony or nintendo do this to anywhere near the same level on their pages.

  • DededeSucc Dededesucc (@DededeSucc) reported

    @NintendoAmerica I need help with my joycon drift can pikmin fix this??

  • loopzers loopzers (@loopzers) reported

    @NintendoAmerica are they gonna fix the drift

  • deshonnarenee 🌵🍄WHOEVENISDEE🍄🌵 (@deshonnarenee) reported

    To think that last year I was planning an all expenses paid cruise for my ex lil baby, gave away my Nintendo switch and sent the FATTEST care package in hopes I’d be loved properly in return, just to end up empty handed & broken hearted. Ppl are menaces

  • Chocobo_Burger Chocoburger (@Chocobo_Burger) reported

    @Partymoth1 @NintendoAmerica Online multiplayer was broken with the original release 10 years ago too, so I'm not surprised. Ubisoft really slacked off in that department which is highly disappointing.

  • BriceNicholXIII Brice Nichol (@BriceNicholXIII) reported

    @zivnobird @NintendoAmerica @justdancegame That doesn’t solve the LARGER problem at hand with Nintendo refusing to add OTHER legacy content to the switch and not only that that is just a rumor not a confirmation

  • A_Merrik_A Mr. Right Now (@A_Merrik_A) reported

    Evelyn had a meltdown last night because I switched from Hulu Live to YouTube TV and now she can’t wait her shows on her Nintendo switch. Reminding her she’s spoiled and letting her know her problem isn’t even a real problem is fun. Being a dad and telling it like it is rocks.

  • Ahhhfluffernugg TheBean (@Ahhhfluffernugg) reported

    @CroxxingTheLine I heard Nintendo has a somewhat easier process and they'll like...believe you easier and try to do a no hassle fix? I'm not sure yet how well that would go but def try to reach out to their customer service! :0

  • FizzleMeDizzle 🍞 Fizzle 🍞 (@FizzleMeDizzle) reported

    @Lasthorix @Animus_jam @NintendoAmerica Dude all controllers do, if it becomes a problem early on it means you're too rough with them or play with cheeto fingies but all controls inevitably get the drift. Except ones with no thumbsticks, that's a different situations.

  • jimmytheboi_ 21 (@jimmytheboi_) reported

    Why pay for Nintendo Online if there's always ******* lag in every match for Smash??

  • assnakednigga tomato 🍅 (@assnakednigga) reported

    @The_Lucbomber Problem is Nintendo is stuck in this mindset of they have to release a new Pokémon ever year. If they take the time of like three years then it’ll look real nice

  • z_mahde Acidhog (@z_mahde) reported

    @NintendoAmerica Will they come over and fix the 4 pairs of joycons i have that has drift?

  • RealRedragon Jean Sardine (@RealRedragon) reported

    @kristen_shilton Get a Nintendo switch, get Mario kart. Play renegade round up mode. Problem solved.
