  • fknMDD (@fknMDD) reported

    @DanKnowsNothing @batouttahell24 @NintendoAmerica I've had no issues with OoT from what I've noticed, but I haven't played it enough to really tell.

  • Racket Justin Hackett (@Racket) reported

    @dirtypaws_ They know what it is, but them, Microsoft and Nintendo are just persisting with the same components that are causing the issue, so they clearly just don't care. Also I hope you're enjoying Kena!

  • NotVeryNiceChan 🌺Nice-Chan🌺 (COMMS OPEN) (@NotVeryNiceChan) reported

    @MarqsLewds Nintendo gotta fix this ****** net

  • CJ_CAD50 ScorpionSoldierGaming (@CJ_CAD50) reported

    @DANIELakaDEE I have very much enjoyed the trilogy on both SX and Nintendo Switch...sure it has its little issues here and there but thats what patches are for and like you said some of us still own the original physical copies so we didnt lose anything buying the new definitive editions

  • Badouken07 Badouken (@Badouken07) reported

    @YMazaho @Wario64 Same, It doesnt impact as many people as the internet whines about but it is an issue with xbox,ps and nintendo with the manufacturing.

  • DiabetesDiablo Sugar Free Satan (@DiabetesDiablo) reported

    Really? You're just going to ad Paper Mario and act like the service is somehow now worth the fee? Weak, @NintendoAmerica. Super weak.

  • Maxton_Evandiel Maxton Evandiél (@Maxton_Evandiel) reported

    @PAzumarill @monsterhunter Yeah I know but that’s the problem, because then the Nintendo only people have to miss out on a title. It’s just a strange way to do things now that the series is more popular.

  • MayaMychelle BabyGirl💙 (@MayaMychelle) reported

    I'm confused why my baby Switch all of a sudden not working 😒 one thing she gone do is take care of her iPad and Nintendo, so I'm confused. Guess she getting a new one

  • E1ite_Yoshi F. Reese (@E1ite_Yoshi) reported

    @Kefla_880 Yet this doesn’t seem to be a problem on either Nintendo or Xbox’s servers. Which goes to show you how Sony’s handling of the situation is. Wish she knew the gamertag of this modder so we could go report them

  • AaronSmarter AaronSmarter (@AaronSmarter) reported

    Nintendo customer service can suck it

  • StuartB61341567 Nin10do_We (@StuartB61341567) reported from Ketteringham, England

    Nintendo branded items (I believe because of a single inauthenticity complaint?) - who incidentally didn't return the item. Just think about that for a minute. Now the problem is that Amazon are, quite rightly, asking for proof of purchase for me to be able to re-apply.

  • TylerDaPanda225 Tyler Jensen (@TylerDaPanda225) reported

    @Minecraft Yall need to fix the glitches for The Nintendo switch and PS4 and stop updating things. Stop adding things and fix all the glitches.

  • TSLA2thamoon Isaac (@TSLA2thamoon) reported

    Dude. @Pokemon @NintendoAmerica I just traded my Graveler with some random on your global trade area for Brilliant Diamond. I expected them to trade it back immediately (as I kept prompting). They ran off with my Pokémon. WTF. Fix this broken a$$ crap! Are you kidding me!?!?

  • JupiterBruzer Jupe is a big ******* cat 🪐 (@JupiterBruzer) reported

    I mean, ****, Animal Crossing barely even HAS a settings menu!! You wanna adjust the color coding of the game's UI? Having trouble with the font size? **** you, says Nintendo

  • TheAncientArk Ark (@TheAncientArk) reported

    Well, I just tested recording a game on my PC and it recorded fine compared to my Nintendo Switch and Elgato, so it could be kind of broken :( On the plus side, I could upgrade to a new model of Elgato I guess

  • TechEmiiily TechEmiiily 👩‍💻 (@TechEmiiily) reported

    @shacor13 You know Nintendo will fix those for free? They got sued and now they are replacing them. But I bought a wireless regular controller for that very reason cause f the joycon bs

  • VirgoIsnthere steve from minecraft (@VirgoIsnthere) reported

    Shoutout to nintendo for having an online chat support so you dont need to call customer service my agoraphobia thanks u

  • Aeyt Alé SantⓋs (@Aeyt) reported

    @Dave19Brown83 @NintendoAmerica I somewhat agree. The games are being emulated though, not ported. You program the emulator to run the games and then check for compatibility issues with the games and any special features(like needing expansion pack). They mostly just need QC.

  • N1SRMYR N1 (@N1SRMYR) reported

    Okay I think this Christmas a new Nintendo game will be bought.... Problem is which one...

  • Clowncarcrash clowncarcrash (@Clowncarcrash) reported

    @MoyanoJerald @TheKrustyKoopa @NintendoAmerica Then it’s not free? It’s part of the service just like Nintendos op was arguing it should be free because Nintendo is rich

  • StuartB61341567 Nin10do_We (@StuartB61341567) reported from Ketteringham, England

    For items you can still buy from distributors, that's obviously no problem. BUT, I sell used Nintendo Wii products which were last sold through distribution in 2013, 8 years ago, so what I'm being asked to provide by Amazon is impossible for me to do. Does that make sense?

  • trusfrated13bts Ady⁷(shut up, I'm dyslexic🙃) (@trusfrated13bts) reported

    people be like "hey, I lost your number, hit me back so I can add you back" bro, that sounds like a YOU problem. quoting Em: "you don't get a 2nd chance, life is no Nintendo game" #AntisocialSocialClub

  • cordy_fox Cordula 🇵🇷 (@cordy_fox) reported

    @celestesys @Multicolourmodo I work at an electronics retailer and these would actually be more useful than you'd think, pricing issue aside ($80 CAN is standard for Nintendo games as it were). I get a lot of customers saying "my kid wants the Mario game" and then they don't know how to answer "which one?"

  • Lajbartek3601 Lajbartek360 (@Lajbartek3601) reported

    @MegaChanRevival @NintendoCanada I’m still having some problems with calculating Americans Dollars to Polish Gold(?)

  • 90sNostalgiaGuy Ty 🐲✝♈🎃 (@90sNostalgiaGuy) reported

    @TheGreatZubari That still shouldn't be a problem when WWE has no problem letting Nintendo have some of their newer games on Switch.

  • PlayerEssence OJ - PlayerEssence (@PlayerEssence) reported

    @JuiceMan_V Naw, cause they have been successful without it. That service isn't really profitable, Nintendo is better off reinvesting into their first party like they are doing.

  • artyoan Dunn Fumble (@artyoan) reported

    @downi75 I assume his claimed health issues are exaggerated for beneficial use. He not only shuts the Nintendo off when losing but he blames dirt getting in his eyes for coming in last in Mario kart.

  • FeatherYoshi Feather (@FeatherYoshi) reported

    One thing I've been seeing a lot is that supposedly this code was put here to more accurately emulate this game on original hardware, since supposedly there was also lag sometimes when the menu was opened on the Nintendo 64.

  • flyboy2618 Aust (@flyboy2618) reported

    @NintendoAmerica what’s with the poor customer service and almost 3 months of being given the run around about repairs?

  • Timzel18 ✿ Ghira-Tim ✿ (@Timzel18) reported

    So BotW2 yeah? It’s gonna be called The Legend of Zelda: Ghirahim Returns that’s why they can’t give us the title guys they said it would spoil the game right well I’ve broken into Nintendo HQ & seen the leaks trust me this time I know what I’m talking about in this essay I will
