  • dirty8harry Horrified Harry (@dirty8harry) reported

    @WavePrism_ You have pronouns? Nintendo terms and service was pretty clear on that :/

  • G4MEING_G4MER Lunateek (@G4MEING_G4MER) reported

    @littledonutboi I mean the service does work just not for any Nintendo games like I’ve had really good experiences with Uno, Castle Crashers Remastered, Rocket League, Paladins, Ultimate Chicken Horse, and other 3rd party online experiences

  • Techatticup 🍁Liam Patt🍁 (@Techatticup) reported

    @NintendoAmerica we have a problem I’ve been playing animal crossing everyday since release. But somehow, three days in a row, Ankha has been making the Butter Churn DIY. I don’t know if it’s a bug or if I’m unlucky. Please help

  • simgart SIMGart (@simgart) reported

    @NintendoAmerica FIX LATAM ESHOP PLEASE!

  • beardedslav Krzysztof Malinowski (@beardedslav) reported

    @nonspecificgen1 @ceumacaco @NintendoAmerica Life must be really good when your biggest problem is that a console you don’t own will run a game but not the way you like it

  • pimpisaur Cheyenne (@pimpisaur) reported

    @ldelphoto @TinaNarvaezJr I also had an issue with a system like this. I live in a very small town and I had to tell the rep for nintendo my address like 8 different times because he kept asking if it was business in my town that has the same street numbers put different street name.

  • EntermateStar EntermateStar (@EntermateStar) reported

    @DemeechYT i really do think they should just go the Super Crash Bros route and just make it a full on nintendo centric racer instead of just mario plus like a small handful of other reps

  • JazzyJeff2891 Jazzy Jefferson (@JazzyJeff2891) reported

    @Jiikae The Nintendo Online icon for the Switch Home UI is identical to the phone app square icon of the same service. Guess you could say the people nitpicking about this are... bent outta shape. 😎

  • PinkSheep752 PinkSheep752 (@PinkSheep752) reported

    @Failboat103 @GearsBreakfast I want to make SURE that a video like this won’t cause any issues like Nintendo always does, so that is why I am asking

  • cactuswhite Cactus (@cactuswhite) reported

    Smoking broken windows, playing my nintendo

  • ellusiveluna 𝙴𝚕𝚕𝚒𝚎 🌙 (@ellusiveluna) reported

    @fuchsiarascal @YukuChan Yeah I’ve just read through and I’m iPhone I’m afraid :( it just prompts me to a webpage, it disconnects me from the WiFi and connects to my switch with no issues:( I hope Nintendo fixes it soon 🤍

  • Mysongsaretrash Siren Head (Christmas themed) (@Mysongsaretrash) reported

    nintendo switch more like nintendo glitch

  • Isjaythunder200 Luxrayking (@Isjaythunder200) reported

    @vrgeta3201 @Bobo29951980 @Plun_Yu I watched the video and they said yes and no, I accept that I am wrong but I have no idea as to why Nintendo would announce this as they now have Gamecube accessible for sunshine. I guess they just fixed that problem with analog trigger in the update like said.

  • aah_dee_ technobimbo (@aah_dee_) reported

    @Junkmail_lt @PkAntifreeze your main issue is that "nintendo designs bad games" & when asked why you focus on 1 franchise & hold it to standards that didnt exist at the time & then say "its not worth talking about the others" so i suppose you do the same for the others? If so yea its a bad rubric

  • AniaDawson 🎃🦇 AniaDawson 🧙‍♀️ 🇮🇨 (@AniaDawson) reported

    The game FNAF Help Wanted for Nintendo Switch is too glitchy xwx I'm completetly bloqued in an specific mision in hard mode, the Ennard one. Everytime i finish the mission the game just crash and it happens anytime i try to finish it over and over xwx

  • NinjaNick125 Nick (@NinjaNick125) reported

    @Lbabinz Great, increasing the price of a service that costs Nintendo literal pennies to maintain. I can't believe the greed of the Pokemon Company these last few years.

  • KatieAlbitz Katie (@KatieAlbitz) reported

    @Nexus71c @NintendoAmerica Did you ever figure this out? I'm having the same problem.

  • HighlySammable Sam Nathan (@HighlySammable) reported

    @GavinHall35 @YnysBwbach @NintendoUK Did the website update to say it had been dispatched/did you get an auto email? Or an email from customer service? I've got the same issue but I ordered the next day.

  • SmashJT Smash JT (@SmashJT) reported

    @ariesthachild That's not a stupid question - I'd assume with most companies - that's a problem, but, this is Nintendo we're talking about here... I'm not sure. Haven't tried it myself. @SpawnWaveMedia do you know?

  • MarioObsessed Mario Obsessed (@MarioObsessed) reported

    @danielurb01 I see. The current situation is definitely pulling me all over the place. I'm relatively in support of #FreeMelee, mainly because I'm fed up with Nintendo's bad actions, though I definitely see some of the issues, especially those being cruel with the spamming.

  • danmaruk Marshy (@danmaruk) reported

    @NintendoUK Hi, can you fix your website please? The page for the Switch NES controllers continuously just reloads, I want to buy them and it’s been broken for 3 days!

  • PhenomenalJEC JEC (@PhenomenalJEC) reported

    @NintendoAmerica Fix your retro content distribution, we want an actual Virtual Console with systems past NES and SNES

  • fightforstarfy StarfyForSmash スタフィー × スマブラ ⭐️#AssistAlliance⭐️ (@fightforstarfy) reported

    @isacthestarally Unfortunately, I doubt it would be localized for Nintendo Switch Online due to the fact that they don’t usually bring over Japan-exclusive games unless they’re puzzle games that are unlocalized. The only Japan-exclusive game from the service to be localized so far is Fire Emblem.

  • lionelplayz2k Official LionelPlayz2K (@lionelplayz2k) reported

    @FortniteStatus hey uhh I wanna say that uhh Nintendo switch player are getting a bug that say 10hour not 6hours so YALL NEED TO FIX IT

  • WackAssLackAss Livin La Vida Bondzo (@WackAssLackAss) reported

    @Niximmen @FedExHelp Pains me to see these tweets cause I’m dealing and have been dealing with the same issues with FedEx in Maryland. They’ve ‘lost’ a Nintendo Switch and Playstation 5 that I had ordered.

  • minako_meleph Minako Meleph ⚜ (@minako_meleph) reported

    @AweOfShe That and Sakuna. Got me into Minecraft last week. I heard there was copyright issue, last spring, but Cover make a deal with Nintendo so no problems anymore.

  • fightforstarfy StarfyForSmash スタフィー × スマブラ ⭐️#AssistAlliance⭐️ (@fightforstarfy) reported

    @Foulowe59 Yep. That’s what happened with the puzzle games on the Nintendo Switch Online service. They were just brought over in Japanese, and the other Japan-exclusive games remained there. I was also not really aware that WarioWare Twitsted didn’t include mercury in the existing releases.

  • littledonutboi littledonutboi (@littledonutboi) reported

    @G4MEING_G4MER idk i dont really like any online games so ive only ever tried it with smash and i guess fortnite a while ago, but like if 3rd party developers can put more effort into making you're shitty service work than you can that kinda says something about nintendo's effort

  • SweetSushiBear 🎄 ∴☆Sushi☆∴ 🎄 (@SweetSushiBear) reported

    **** it. Decided to spend my funds left I had to buy 3 months of Nintendo online service since I don't want to bother my dad too much asking him to get me the 12 month one.

  • WWEFan387 #LOD #BeckyLynch #LivMorgan (@WWEFan387) reported

    And also I like the service of Nintendo Switch Online
