    @mrpokeplayer_ @kristjian @NintendoAmerica I love the switch but I shouldn't have to do open heart surgery on a product I buy. I have a day 1 switch and before free repairs I went through like 3 pairs. Also all you have to do is stay electronics cleaner the dust off and it helps. Still they can fix a joystick control box.

    @animalcrossing If you're using the entitlement card as a means for our frustration, you're part of the problem! Stop using that as a excuse to justify Nintendo's stale formula and lack of content in this game! Doesn't matter if PC makes more money. This game deserves the same amount of love.

  • bitkizzy bitkizzy (@bitkizzy) reported

    I really wanna play Pokémon Unite but I can’t buy **** digitally on my switch anymore. Nobody’s cards work, transactions get denied. I’ve hit up Nintendo support but they said my account looks clear and it’s not their issue. Guess I gotta buy one of them redeem cards.

    @yoeddieeee @32DaCrow @NintendoAmerica nintendo fans scared that this one actually has a chance lol. It has almost none of the issues of the vita, because it actually has games on launch lol

  • DemonTomatoDave Dave Bulmer (@DemonTomatoDave) reported

    @PaulGannonShow Link kept walking off a cliff, so I decided to avail myself of Nintendo's joycon fixing service. In the meantime bought another pair. That was two, years or so ago... wonder if I'll ever send off the first pair...

  • Xnerdz Xnerdz 🌹 (@Xnerdz) reported

    @AjRemember @DoctorFishbones No but you see, they're not technically corrupt because of some specific definition of corrupt, and they didn't directly recieve corrupt money and the sun was in their eyes and their controller was broken and their dad works at nintendo... - Kyle Kulinski

  • j0hnathanrivera Johnathan Rivera (@j0hnathanrivera) reported

    @mktevans @NintendoAmerica Get over it. All it does is allow you to return to the sky from anywhere instead of having to run for 15 seconds to get to a bird statue. OMG the game is broken now.

  • Kutairo_ • Gum | Kupo (@Kutairo_) reported

    @Mevans2703 Dw about it. Ignore what they say. If you would be such a big, blind Nintendo fanboy you wouldn't love the Crash Bandicoot franchise that much.

  • Breeziermouse59 William Fromelt (@Breeziermouse59) reported

    @engfa_owu @Michael71378194 @NintendoAmerica That’s not Nintendo’s problem

  • cbm___ Brandon (@cbm___) reported

    @ZenkaiM2 They can't get the game past 10fps yet Sadge (Hope to God it's improved since initial showing, however the Nintendo treehouse at e3 this year looked okay aside from major lag in big fights and loading)

  • WhispyOfficial Whispy (@WhispyOfficial) reported

    YOU WILL NOT SILENCE US @Nintendo!! FIX YOUR RNG FROM 2008!!

  • angeldeb82 Deborah Lee Kearns (@angeldeb82) reported

    @PanicBarn 1. I'm having a problem. I'm playing the Nintendo Switch version of Not Tonight: Take Back Control Edition. I'm at the King's Head Pub on "July 9, 2018", and I have been told that I have to press down on the L stick to scan for contraband.

  • cloud154532 Edco (@cloud154532) reported

    @cocop0psicle I have not! But man if the fix really is THIS easy, then wtf is Nintendo doing?

  • Bookid16R Bookid ✿ (@Bookid16R) reported

    Btw yes I know that this tweet is referring to the 3 specific people that tweet a lot about Nintendo (I just wanted to joke around) Personally I don't have a problem with them even if what they tweet can feel a bit automated if you get what I mean But they're cool

  • maskedmildew mildew (@maskedmildew) reported

    Oh god I just realized I'm going away for a week in three days with no internet aahhh Who wants my Nintendo login so they can do the daily unite missions for me???

  • RingsFox 💙Rings (@RingsFox) reported

    Im so ******* done.... I have good internet but some people thank that my internet is ******* crappy, ITS NOT ******* CRAPPY ITS NINTENDO! I keep on disconnecting because of Nintendo service is crappy, My Nintendo online has never ever disconnect in 2019 and 2020

  • Petty_Base PettyBase™ (@Petty_Base) reported

    @ALB3X_ @NintendoAmerica yeah idk what everyones problem is its working great on my switch

  • MuSTARd_96 Kevin Treanor (@MuSTARd_96) reported

    @HylianHero98 Super Mario 3D All-Stars, because of the missed potential. With how big Nintendo is and how much they (used to) care, they had the opportunity to make this the best of the HD Trilogies. But they didn’t. I don’t think anyone will talk about it like the Crash & Spyro trilogies

  • Gallyrona GALLY - 3/3 (@Gallyrona) reported

    @Ahabs_Mind nintendo cant even have it's exclusives run stable on switch but every game on steam deck at 30fps minimum is a problem

  • kiladre Kiladre/Steve (@kiladre) reported

    Having trouble deciding which ‘classic’ I’ve never played to stream next. Thoughts? I didn’t grow up with main Nintendo consoles so going back to play what I missed. #Twitch

  • SylveonAlcremie 🎀Sylveon the Full Cream Alcremist🍓 (@SylveonAlcremie) reported

    @SylveonTheSylvy And to get the full experience you'll also be getting Switch Online but after all Nintendo decides if its online goes through the Switch Online service

  • TheOneOnlyKey Completionist Plant (@TheOneOnlyKey) reported

    @BoundaryBreak @Nintendeal I'd have to disagree because I feel like they're serving two different markets. Nintendo has had an established niche for decades and the switch has taken that niche on the go. The Steam Deck will have trouble breaking that niche with a higher price point (1/2)

  • LeoniDanilovich Leonid Danilovich (@LeoniDanilovich) reported

    @GabrielGolden4 @PlayStation 100% nothing they can control... xbox and Nintendo are having the same problem.

  • shierusowl Shierusowl (@shierusowl) reported

    @AlHamm0ud I actually ended up sending it in to Nintendo's repair service because it was under warranty. Just got it back yesterday and it's working perfectly.

  • WillCallerosYT Will CallerosYT&Shadow Clan (@WillCallerosYT) reported

    @mahdy358 No bro I can't because my Nintendo switch got broken

  • mrpokeplayer_ SPLATOON 3 HYPE (@mrpokeplayer_) reported

    @10Metsu_ @kristjian @NintendoAmerica well we can’t do much about it though. also the electronic cleaner doesn’t last long it drifts after a day. it’s not much work to open your joycons and fix em! works great.

  • piss__gurl Skall Time Low (@piss__gurl) reported

    @AnishDLS1 @SomeWalnuts Valve is overrated yes but from a business standpoint they're leagues better than most big studios. Bethesda, Activision, Ubisoft, Nintendo, all have some pretty big issues from a business and marketing standpoint. For me it's not about content, it's about community support.

  • hellacasgaming Seriously Nobody (@hellacasgaming) reported

    @l3layze @ACWorldBlog The developers actually have to manually implement the seasonal activities into the game. Hopefully with this next update they fix that so we don’t have to keep relying on Nintendo for anything

  • angeldeb82 Deborah Lee Kearns (@angeldeb82) reported

    3. There appears to be a bug or issue on the Nintendo Switch version! When will the issue be fixed so that Scan and Ban will work again? 😢 If you can please fix the game, I'll be very happy to oblige.

  • Absofsteel3 Abid アビド🌸 (@Absofsteel3) reported

    @Overlord_Konami Good old drifting, the only great thing is Nintendo will offer to fix them for free lol
