    Ever since I bought the Wii U I've constantly had issues with my Nintendo Consoles. And right now my switch wont ******* detect my microSD card. It's the most annoying thing ever. I know for a fact that it's not the SD card so now I have to send it to nintendo to get charged a

  • doccosplay DocCos (@doccosplay) reported

    @CosBlade I also have a problem with Nintendo's rehashment of the same old same old in a lot of their big titles, again it's just my opinion! The titles are too different to compare

  • lawchan89 Joanna (@lawchan89) reported

    @sck8182 @EthanTHFC @nintendolife A streaming service really needs to approach Nintendo with a solid idea for a Zelda animated series (and not do what Netflix did and leak it out early)

  • Commanderraf Commanderraf (@Commanderraf) reported

    @benjedwards Yes. All of Nintendo's games (and later Sony and partially Microsoft) were in English. Most of the times the people who bought them had some knowledge of English, so it wasn't much of an issue. But I did have a friend in high school who had to learn English to play the games.

  • m_rizky_gumilar Rizky Gumilar (@m_rizky_gumilar) reported

    @TrunksWD The question is can the Switch pass ps4 numbers this year? Nintendo also have stock issue.

  • uskonly khalifa.eth (@uskonly) reported

    need to fix the left joycon on my nintendo switch but have no idea where to start from

  • Vet_infin ⛰️Vet 🍃 (@Vet_infin) reported

    Majora's Mask is getting released today in the NSO expansion. Truly a shame that such a masterpiece is blocked behind a ****** and overpriced service. Is Nintendo best work imo. If you have the chance, play it.

  • RubenBratos Rubén Bratos Hernández (@RubenBratos) reported

    @THQNordic @OnDeck It seems good to me, but it would also be good if they fixed some Nintendo switch game darksiders deathnative, for example, it has been broken for two years and it does not have any patch to request it

  • The_CasualGam3r The_CasualGam3r (@The_CasualGam3r) reported

    @BlocksSega @HBTG_Official Problem is. There is talk that Nintendo may take away the ability for people to re download games they have brought on the Eshop as the next stage after closing the store If you lose your console or it breaks. You have lost the games you brought.

  • strangemaggot Strange Maggot, Protector of Loporrits (@strangemaggot) reported

    Nintendo fixed the Dark Link room in OoT and other spots in games with the same issues. Brb buying a Switch N64 controller LOL.

  • _murder_1 Patrick Zac (@_murder_1) reported

    @ModernVintageG Looks like they fixed fogging and the Deku Tree being so visible. I may be wrong but input lag feels reduced too. I’m very happy that Nintendo listened and is trying it seems

  • LuigiBlood Yakumono (@LuigiBlood) reported

    There's still no NPLN online library yet... but there's something I missed that's also in the NES/SNES update: there's an access to mnpp:app service. Currently mnpp is disabled, and I suspect it stands for My Nintendo Platinum Points. We know it manages missions.

    @NinEverything >play oot on Nintendo switch online >Get stuck on water temple room >Fool around for countless hours to no avail >Nintendo releases bug patch to fix water temple room, didn't notice🐞 >Excitedly load up oot save >Tfw don't notice a difference >Tfw still stuck in water temple room

  • SuperMario19Jay SuperMario19Jay (@SuperMario19Jay) reported

    I really hope the next Nintendo console doesn’t use cartridges. My switch seems to be having problems with keeping the cartridge in place when I’m trying to put a game in! I have to force it down and pull it out just to play physical games. Hey Nintendo, THIS **** AIN’T NORMAL!

  • MaebeSew 🍄mae🌱 (@MaebeSew) reported

    They are 12 inches long with a diameter of 5 inches- I can put my regular nintendo switch, phone, and wallet in the bag without issue.

  • LZatYT 🎮LZ (@LZatYT) reported

    So are N64 games on Switch still doo-doo, or did Nintendo finally fix them?

  • TotalWerido Total_Werido (@TotalWerido) reported

    @NintendoUK Keep the N64 emulation patches coming. The service is getting better with each patch 👍🏻

  • AllTimeBodacity Todd Burger Brown (@AllTimeBodacity) reported

    The fact nobody has problems remembering **** like "Apple IPhone 13 Pro Max" makes me think our parents were just being jerks when they couldn't remember names like "Nintendo 64"

  • moldyclay h9 ʎɐlɔʎploɯ ♏ (@moldyclay) reported

    The biggest problem would be unique puzzles that involved folding the screens and stuff. How did Wii U handle that? Just pressing Home? Lol. But really, Switch has enough buttons & sticks to make up for control modifications. It could be done, Nintendo just has to care. lol.

  • Ryan20615 Ryan_206 (@Ryan20615) reported

    @noideamindempty @Rev_ADB Nintendo did not intend to make him taller because they made him shorter in age of calamity, the newer game. That’s just how they want to design him now, look at the botw 2 trailer. Why is there a problem with link being shorter anyways lol

  • GameFreak164X Nicc (@GameFreak164X) reported

    @Pop_Caitlin @TheMasonTweeter Wii U and 3DS are different. Games aren’t tied to your account on those systems because Nintendo was dumb. PlayStation, Xbox and Steam games are tied to your account. Your machine dying won’t be an issue.

  • DiscordDerin Derin (@DiscordDerin) reported

    @videotech_ @SynthPotato Well to be fair Nintendo only really cares about Nintendo so if the hardware isn’t powerful enough for others that’s an issue but not for Nintendo lol. As long as their first party games play and sell they do not give two shits

  • MarcusMeMyself Marcus (@MarcusMeMyself) reported

    Really considering getting a @NintendoUK switch now after the state these AAA games are coming out, if its not fit for release don't release it @ELDENRING You don't release a game then fix it later ffs

  • sockdeluxe ultimate edition sock (imported) (@sockdeluxe) reported

    @faverwalbs i think its cuz nintendo 64 emulation is a pain in the *** to get running and finding a Nintendo 64 console and the games can be really expensive, so its expected that people would complain for a 50 dollar service that is worse than the wii vc more than 10 years later

  • Jarox72 Dan (@Jarox72) reported

    @xMBGx I said the same thing and got eaten alive. There’s a bunch of bias for from software games. Kinda similar to Nintendo games. It’s ok for elden ring to have issues and get 10s

  • XenogearsXV XuKii @ Elden Ring (@XenogearsXV) reported

    @Redheadreplica I have a feeling they rushed this expansion because of that animal crossing direct. But still rare W for Nintendo that they are listening or are aware of the issues

  • ProHero_ ❄猗窩座❄ (@ProHero_) reported

    @demonslayer_hc @Vincent16442562 @NintendoAmerica Please debuff rengoku and fix input delay

  • leticlub1 naomaisnada (@leticlub1) reported

    @NintendoAmerica Fix the cresselia bug!! We are unable to finish the game thats absurd!!

  • UncannyEXP Top Uncanny Gear Force (@UncannyEXP) reported

    @Angelfluff723 @rd_steen @OatmealDome This is the issue with criticism towards Nintendo, you and everyone expect them to be super on top of things like a super machine when they're only as capable as the people they have employed. That they fixed it at all should be enough.

  • JaxolotlGames 🦋Jaxolotl is #Mothman🦋 (@JaxolotlGames) reported

    Just looking at images of the Steam Deck, I can already tell you that #disabilityinclusion is already going to be an issue...People with #disabilities in their hands are going to have a hard time using it...At least with the Nintendo Switch, the side buttons are lower down...
