  • playalanplays Alan✨ (@playalanplays) reported

    @NintendoAmerica @FortniteGame fix White Screen glitch 🤬

  • gog_gee Gee Gog (@gog_gee) reported

    @Excalibur6241 Nah, **** you. The problem is with Nintendo, not Sakurai.

  • DanEvilRobot Dan_EvilRobot (@DanEvilRobot) reported

    @cinemassacre Yeah, that's the most common problem about the Nintendo switch joy-cons, if you put them in a wrong way I get stuck.

  • SukeBanchoR18 🔞 Sugarplum Idol 🔞 (@SukeBanchoR18) reported

    Nintendo is shitty but I find it infinitely hilarious to think about the person who's job it is to look through mountains of femboi Link porn just to issue takedowns on every one of them manually

  • softshiggy Tomura shigaraki (@softshiggy) reported

    @PatchwrkFurnace Wait they do that? Nintendo needs fix their ****!! People need call them out on that! But don’t hate the fans because love smash bro’s ultimate

  • AlanBrizan Alan super paper mario fan (@AlanBrizan) reported

    @Whats__Ur__Name @Zari_Wari @NintendoAmerica The problem is n64 is painful to emulate and the games are only mutiplayer related

  • Cyberninja776 Herok (@Cyberninja776) reported

    @chaiwarrior See 5 years isn't enough these days for a game, because everything needs to unnecessarily detailed if you want to make the best thing ever even if it will instantly drop in price. Needless to say if it wasn't for Nintendo I imagine we'd have a second game industry crash.

  • AtRisk86 AtRisk86 (@AtRisk86) reported

    @xBeckie_Bx @NintendoAmerica It has only happened on Fortnite. I also play FIFA, and the issue has not occurred on that game.

  • CuddlesNerd NerdCuddles ✊🏿✊🏾✊🏽✊🏼✊🏻 (@CuddlesNerd) reported

    Imagine if consoles where not just more limited versions of PCs that had paid online, Or where not owned by anti-consumer companies like Sony or Nintendo (I am aware the Nintendo Switch exists but its ruined by technical issues, a terrible company, and paid online)

  • its2sBs Luther (2sBs) (@its2sBs) reported

    @jultar1000 @NintendoAmerica My point still stands that challenging Nintendo in court seems infeasible. Pressuring Nintendo to drop the C&D is a much quicker way to get past the issue, if they were to go ahead and do it. It doesn't take much from them to just stop issuing them, or retract the previous one.

  • TheeRealShrimp TheeShrimp🔞 (@TheeRealShrimp) reported

    @XT_Ecchi DMCA is a big issue rn and nintendo is known for getting anything down that uses their characters. Even if it's stuff like this.

  • CorporalSpiro CorporalSpiro 🐻🐦 (@CorporalSpiro) reported

    @DavidDa00361728 @NintendoAmerica And that's okay, if you like the game then there's no problem. It just gets annoying when some people get called out just because they stated the problems, flaws, and lack of potential the game has. The new Pokemon Snap game is a good example of the potential Pokemon S&W had.

  • AngelaW63765246 Angela Wilson⭐⭐⭐ (@AngelaW63765246) reported

    @Marissa_Meleske Having the same problem. I ordered from Walmart but it was a third party vendor. Now I'm battling it out with FedEx. It's a Nintendo switch for my kids.

  • jultar1000 JULTAR100 (@jultar1000) reported

    @its2sBs @NintendoAmerica Think that if u wish But then take it to deal with the issue properly

  • promptodagreat Prompto (@promptodagreat) reported

    @MojangSupport I was playing minecraft on the Bedrocck edition on the Nintendo switch and wanted to renew my realm. when i went to renew it it popped up with an error. It took my coins but didn’t add any time on the realm. Basically I spent money on realms and nothing happened.

  • DrFrank99 DrFrank99YouTube (@DrFrank99) reported

    @NintendoAmerica @FortniteGame My switch crashed after like 3 hours of fortnite is there a way to fix it

  • QuestionableCos questionable_cos (@QuestionableCos) reported

    Why is ff7 not on the switch!!??!? @NintendoAmerica this is a problem!!

  • Alexutzu79 Cosmin Alexandru (@Alexutzu79) reported

    @cinemassacre You should thank to the dumb engineers that built the joycon. This is one of the reasons I gave up on Nintendo among other problems and management decisions.

  • ShuraPrince ShuraPrince (@ShuraPrince) reported

    @TylerDOE10 I don't think so unless copyright becomes an issue, but Twitch is certainly taking away the fun from Twitch Chat. I doubt video gameplay would be next, but then again there is Nintendo.

  • its2sBs Luther (2sBs) (@its2sBs) reported

    @jultar1000 @NintendoAmerica Fair enough my guy, you're absolutely entitled to hold your own opinion over the situation and while I disagree, that's the nature of healthy discussion over issues. Apologies if I did say anything that did sound personal, didn't mean anything other than just debating the issue.

  • Bimshwel Heapinfrimp Rabivmip (@Bimshwel) reported

    it won an award for "best game" on the system that you can't even buy it for anymore because it was especially bad and broken on that system. Even Nintendo Power's awards that all went to games by Nintendo and companies that Nintendo had deals with had more meaning than that.

  • 63Atwalp ⛄️atwalp 64🎄 (@63Atwalp) reported

    My Nintendo Switch has crashing problems

  • MrAndrewWantor Mr. Andrew (@MrAndrewWantor) reported

    @SSBATT_ I might agree on that, and I think Companies should now on be merge together, but that would still create a bit of a problem. Exclusive are actually sorta Good IF done right, but here, I don't think it's done right. Nintendo have their Nintendo-Switch, Sony and Microsoft-

  • Ramen_102 Ramen102 (@Ramen_102) reported

    @CJP_Libra @BGD_SSB Yeah, Nintendo did **** Melee players over for no reason. That’s kinda the issue. Do you even know what’s going on?

  • zenasprime zenasprime (@zenasprime) reported

    @BowdnBoi @Grummz Cert for Xbox is similar, but since a lot of the issue were found in Nintendo review, they weren't an issue for the Xbox review. I would think that a game breaking crash would be caught. I have no experience with Sony.

  • AcidGreen19 Acid Frogge 🇸🇪✝️ (@AcidGreen19) reported

    @cinemassacre Classic problem. That's a well-known design flaw with them. I wonder if yours are old or if Nintendo still hasn't fixed it

  • DaddyCakes121 Toxic Queen (@DaddyCakes121) reported

    @ExpungedEzzy101 @EmperorLemon Yeah exacly, dislike bombing isn't going to change anything, I'm angry at Nintendo but I'm supporting the people that made the game, which is Sakurai, Bandai Namco, and Sora Unlimited, just Nintendo published the game that's all, the problem is that they assume we're just-

  • SparkingRoger Roger// (@SparkingRoger) reported

    @LeitungEvolved Crash 4 came out last month and is already 50% off despite it being great. Everybody except Nintendo realizes that Sales hit 😭

    @AmongUsGame Have u guys realized the glitch were you get to play airship on Nintendo switch?

  • 87Cece66 CeCe (@87Cece66) reported

    @LilHockeyUkie LOL!!! They have come a long way! I’ll never forget the graphics of regular Nintendo . That was bad!! Super Nintendo was a little bit better (not much though) Me too!!! If the switch didn’t have the drift issues I probably would have bought one! The drift is what stopped me
