So to explain my Nintendo switch problem. My switch was on low battery. So I put it in sleep mode. I place it in it's dock and nothing. Did my switch battery just kill itself? As of this tweet it's been in the dock for 3 days.

Wait some people unironically think Nintendo's N64 and Genesis service is worth that? I thought it was a joke

How does this abide by Nintendo's Seal of Quality? I have tried every step of troubleshooting. No matter the Switch model, version number, the issue lies with the game card. The retailer was of no help either. I feel the video speaks for itself. This is extremely frustrating.

If Nintendo's N64 service didn't already sound awful to you I just wanna share that it crashed on me and I lost hours of progress in Paper Mario 64 even though I saved in game multiple times before the app crashed.

Apparently my original Nintendo account got stolen by someone In Chile and i don’t know how to get it back because Nintendo’s customer service is not the best so just made a new account

@Wise_Thighs Same! I was 18 (!!!) when Pokémon Red and Blue came out. I remember the Nintendo Power issue that detailed it’s release, and I was smitten!

@InnerslothDevs @NintendoAmerica Say it with me now. Grape. Is. Not. An. Inappropriate. Word. Now fix your name restrictions. I shouldn't have to name myself 'Grayp' just so I can use the name I want.

Also, I’m very upset Nintendo didn’t take the time to fix multi hits. Tired of being in advantage get an up air, they fall out and I get punished for choosing a correct option. Even after 2 years of retirement and coming back **** still pisses me off to this day endlessly

Hey @NintendoAmerica I found a bug in Paper Mario 64 on the Nintendo Switch. If you hit the pine trees just southeast of the Save block in Shiver City it causes the whole game to crash. I’ve been able to repeat the issue. I allowed the Switch to share the report too.

@NintendoAmerica For a few months, my wife and I can't connect to each other's systems with a local game. It didn't matter which game or which system sets up the game, the other system can see it, but immediately gets an error saying the game is no longer available when we join?

@EverythingOutOC That glitch is fixed by Nintendo itself for children's safety. I'm just a messenger how the Age-rating system boards are. I'm complaining for about 4 months what Animal Crossing is made for all-ages, not because it's porn but for social life-simulator.

Werehog should've been Sonic's Final Smash in Smash 4 and Ultimate instead of Super Sonic. Super Sonic is ******* broken as a Final Smash. I can forgive Nintendo for putting it in Brawl because (obviously) Unleashed wasn't out yet. But later games should've had Werehog Sonic.

So over the 3 Nintendo accounts I’ve used to play animal crossing new horizons. I have spent almost 1,500 hours playing the game. Some might call that a problem. But I call it therapy

@CapcomUSA_ You're not gonna try and copyright claim people's YouTube videos like you did a few years ago right? This gives me flashbacks of Nintendo's awful program that outright STOLE from creators and used illegal tactics to fix the YT DMCA claim system. This better NOT be the same thing.

@PS4Revolution @IGN I don't think anyone is surprised by that.Nintendo is a pretty ****** company. It's enough if you just watch how they handled the warranty of their broken joycons.

@swshriv @NintendoAmerica You lost me at ‘more n64 service games’ The ‘games as service’ model needs to end. Subscriptions are no substitute for buying a copy of a game. Nintendo needs to open a cross-generational storefront - like Steam - for their old games or ****. I’m done subscribing to everything.

@tribandtweets Hey guys. Love the game. I don’t know if this is intentional, but hitting the chicken guarding the box in area 05B too many times causes the game to crash on Nintendo Switch. Is that intentional?

People wondering about copyright issues! We have a proper legal team, nothing has been developed. Without consulting them! This project won't face any issues. Be it from Nintendo or Opensea or any other company

@Awooo56709 Too bad Nintendo is the worst when releasing their back catalog. Can't wait for next gen where they debut an even worse service that's online only, worse emulation and 60$ a week.

would like to take the time to say that if somebody were to, hypothetically, pirate a nintendo game, it would not be the biggest issue in the world.

@Target You guys lack Mercy and Grace when a mistake that was made on your end regarding sending me the wrong @NintendoAmerica OLED back in Oct. Can’t be returned because of policy of 30 days that was never mentioned. Rude Customer Service, Guest Services, and warranty dept.

And the NSO N64 has an apparent rendering delay, instead of input delay. Nintendo has always had some sort of issue with N64 emulation, and I always get the feeling people undersell how hard it is to emulate it accurately

@SXodium First party ones, yep. Nintendo refuses to acknowledge it as a problem. Yet despite that, they are forced to fix them in certain regions. Honestly, for less of a hassle, would recommend a pro controller. Doesn't have to be first party either. Cheaper that way.
