V-CiPz™ (@ItzVCiPz) reported@vishgod69 It's a Nintendo problem more than it is Amazon, Nintendo didn't make enough copies to meet demmand.
-
🧛🏻♂️🍷 (@OR0CHIM4RU) reportedFUN FACT If your switch has the joycon drift issue Nintendo will fix it for free, they know its a common issue Go search it up if you need to Seen a lot of people buy new joycons when they didnt have to. So i hope i can help some of yall by spreading this knowledge
-
DG_777player (@DG_777player) reported@ThePixelMan421 @NintendoAmerica That's totally fair and I agree, games had to be delayed. That wasn't the problem though, the problem was that they didn't even reveal what they were working on in advance and when they did it was just a month or so in advance which was atrocious. Games getting delayed? Fine by
-
Charles Jakobsen (@CharlesJakobsen) reported@OMGzus NSO is just... You pay so you can play with friends and all these weird-*** features that they just toss in there "Oh only NSO can spend platinum coins on digital goods"; why? Nintendo gotta try a lot harder, even if their service is a lot cheaper :/
-
lucio (@lucioruler25) reported@KiwiOnTheSticks Honestly Nintendo switch sports it’s cute when you’re bored but my dock is broken loll so that was a sign within itself and my wrist starts hurting after 30 minutes the clothes were really my only drive to play tbh
-
yakcm (@yakcm88) reported@thephonedude10 @NintendoAmerica Because if this is about the squizzy controversy. You gotta grow up, man. I NEVER said I support her behavior, but there are much better ways to handle these problems. Yes, she did some horrible stuff, and that's not okay, but neither is bullying someone off the internet.
-
#TallEnough (@Vashv17) reportedI couldn't ever get into smash brothers, but this Multiversus is just hitting. Maybe the gameplay wasn't the issue. Maybe I didn't care about nintendo characters...and now that I say that. It makes a lot of sense.
-
Evils Bane (@EED1_EvilsBane) reported2 more days. 2 more days and I STILL can’t pre order the ******* XB3 special edition because it’s out of stock. @NintendoAmerica FIX UR ****
-
Zen (Commisons Open!) (@KryZenGraphics) reported@3v3nMoR @swshriv @NintendoAmerica Honestly ill take a playable game lacking some content over rushed patches to fix broken mess of games that also lacks content
-
Big Bongo Knight (@BigBongoShyGuy) reported@AlbarnsDemon @PownicMania5000 the problem with nintendo is that you need pretty much every nintendo fan to do something if you want nintendo to even say anything
-
Ruby!🌈 LOVE LIVE SUPERSTAR SEASON 2 HYPE!!⭐⭐⭐ (@KawaiiStuff8) reported@LjinkKidd @splendidland Just an exception. It still no excuse that nealy all old Nintendo games have no updated graphics while the other companies have no problem to do that......again all Ps1 Ps2 games on switch gave updated graphics!
-
DrennttGG (@Drenttzaggett20) reported@LillyLiliaceae The problem is the hardcore audience doesn’t know when to quit it with antagonizing casuals. Because of this, casuals will double down without a healthy complex debate. Nobody wins besides Nintendo.
-
Becc (@nineteen84) reportedThe biggest issue with the #XenobladeChronicles3 special edition being a nintendo store exclusive is obviously how the orders went but a close 2nd is that just about every other retailer who does game pre orders has launch day delivery, while we will have to wait 4-9 days
-
Rocky (@SwordyPop) reported@MakaylaSkillin @KrispyKremepie9 @NintendoFunnie My first switch drifted REAL bad, traded it in for a switch lite and I no longer have any drift problems. I love the crap out of Nintendo and I'm ride or die with them, but I still have no idea how they fumbled this drift problem so horribly.
-
Dulcea (@Dulcys_Aerie) reportedNot only did @NintendoAmerica have store issues for #XenobladeChronicles3 Special Edition preorders, but now I'm being told that we won't have the game release day either. Retailers already have their copies, why couldn't Nintendo have started the shipping process already?!
-
Tim Bolek (@TimBolek) reported@ZeldaDungeon Legend of Zelda for NES. No walkthrough, no internet help. didn’t use the tip hotline. Then, one magical day, a map came in my Nintendo power and I beat it. Imagine trying to find dungeons, get through the lost woods, and beat bosses with nothing but trial and error…
-
Glyn 🏴🖤 (@_WolfieVII) reported@Nanami_Moon01 I'm sure it'll work out one way or another! I know Nintendo pre-orders have been a bit iffy for me, but I blame that more of my local post service being a bit crap lmao!
-
Born Frustrated (@DedangoDoes) reportedOhhh, so that's what the Nintendo switch right joycon problem is...
-
Bayesic (@BayesicMK8) reported@Watte_Tv @MartinM_1991 @NintendoAmerica MK8D also released in 2017. And The issue isn’t the four months, the issue is the lack of transparency
-
Δ𝐧đㄚ'丂 🄰🅆🄰🅁🄳🅂 𓆏 (@andysowards) reported@KingOfSalt4 @ArcaderT1A @MrNightCrawl I don't think we can call reading books at the library stealing, but I kinda feel like that is the same thing-no one made money there. I also don't think we can call a "subscription" to a product like streaming services, or Nintendo's "online service" w/bundled games fair either
-
💛Fancy Chips! 💙 (@FancyChipss) reported@HitplayYT @mtc33_k @Alpharad Bro the only bootlicker here is you my guy. You've been flip flopping between "no lag" and "its still in beta". Meanwhile nobody here claimed Nintendo's servers were even remotely good
-
CJ (@CJ62991207) reported@eliteunkown @Antnayyy @NintendoAmerica That's not my problem honey. Nintendo has every right to deliver unfinished games and continue dlc all they want for more content
-
Mega Speed Red (@MegaSpeedRed) reported@JoseBer56296540 @BL0CKMAN10 @OatmealDome It's not only a BL issue, Nintendo has been handling free content really bad for a while now.
-
catherine 🖤 (@kyasarinnnn_) reported@Bradley48670568 @SquirtIeNayeon @Bare96J i think it would be less of a problem if nintendo paced their releases better and didn’t promote third party jrpgs as much as they do?
-
🍊🏔Snuggly in my coffin waiting atop a mountain (@tungwene) reported@crotchmaster I don’t know what is up but I would not surprised if there were supply chain issues due to Nintendo underestimating demand (again). They always seem perpetually surprised that fans of franchise exist?
-
🇺🇦Spaceboi Scaphandre🔞18 Days till #SpidermanPC (@Dr_Scaphandre) reported@PressStartKofi Maybe? I mean I stopped playing Nintendo Switch because of the 30FPS limit on the majority of games. If they pushed more towards 40/45, it wouldn’t be as much of an issue. 30FPS in general is just dated
-
Nico (@nenelistreams) reportedI wanted to play Fall guys on my switch, but I have to login into my Nintendo account. Problem I don’t have access to the email anymore…
-
Antasma1 (@Antasma1) reported@PownicMania5000 And people say the issue is Nintendo fans not trying? We’ll that’s the same case here, but I mean people thinking the issue is Nintendo fans don’t want change
-
SoulMasterFinnigan (S.M.F.A) (@SoulMaster1991) reported@GendoWasRight @lifestream223 PS1 for Crash Bandicoot PS2 for GodHand PS3 for Oblivion/Fallout 3 PS4 for DarkSouls Xbox Original For Kotor Xbox S for Elden Ring Nintendo Always Pokemon Gaming PC for Modding

||🌸🍭||~Lilly’s Dream Buffet~||🍰🛍|| (@LillyLiliaceae) reportedEven then that might not work, whenever a Nintendo game failed they always took the wrong lessons from it (Ultra Smash, Star Fox Zero, Arms, Smm2) Heck, even with console failures. Nintendo has yet to learn anything from the Wii U era, if anything issues have gotten worse
