@noctureon Holy **** that's peak, I can't imagine how horrific that must be I don't know why Nintendo don't think that that's an issue, like how have they not thought of a workaround

@TheOfficialRoom Emphasized meaning it is also capitalized. Should’ve been lower case. Nintendo has a track record of making their updated consoles “New …” So that would’ve been a costly grammar error. I’m aware of the two versions, why would someone buy a new switch for the same switch?

@Hyl_ian It's supposedly a GameStop flyer. For the most part it just looks like a print error. It should say "new Nintendo Switch", implying it's not used. Don't get too hyped about it.

Pretty sure GameStop capitalizing "New" in the ad was just an error. It's not calling the system "New Nintendo Switch", it's saying a "new Nintendo Switch".

I haven't used my #NintendoSwitch for a little while so on 12.0.1 Downloaded Game Builder Garage and ... you need an update. No - I can't download I can now play nothing because I can't get the update. Nintendo have some shocking issues with the Switch. Not good enough

People seem to have given Game Builder Garage **** for small things. However, the things I've seen people do with the service already is incredible. Don't you hate how much Nintendo's winning?

@stillalanz @MelancholyElk @nintendolife Oh that disaster, due to the infamous controls of the Wii U gamepad. Yeah I remember it. Thanks to that mess, Nintendo decided not to fix up the problems of the game for a port on the Switch. Instead they put it back on the Neglected Shelf.

PSA: if your Nintendo Switch appears to be dead after a period of Docked inactivity, this just revived it for me: disconnect JoyCons and connect directly to AC adapter. Leave for a few hours. Hold power button down for 30 secs - 12 secs advised by Ninty wasn't enough. It's alive!

@PaulTassi @Forbes I was with you until you said "we know" that Nintendo is making a new console. The Switch Pro is a (mostly baseless) rumor until Nintendo confirms it. And given Nintendo said their E3 Direct is software only, I'm having trouble fitting in "Switch Pro Announcement"...

@Cybershroom Honestly the English communities of a lot of Nintendo games are a real problem, they are too selfish and only want to talk about what THEY want.

I'd be way less wound up about the Nintendo Switch error situation if @NintendoAmerica or @Nintendo would just recognize the problem and announce that they are working on it.

@SwitchUpG @NintendoAmerica Downloaded two games yesterday and for the second one I had this problem but restarting several times didn’t help for me. In the end after spamming the “proceed with download” button for more than twenty times it worked.

PSA to Crash, Spyro and Tony Hawk fans: Activision/Blizzard have been confirmed to drop out of E3, and will likely no-show at both Xbox/Bethesda showcase and Nintendo Direct.

@NintendoUK Hi, I lost my Google Authentication codes due to getting a new phone. Is there anyway it could be removed from my Nintendo account, as I can’t login. Thank you.

Any of you who have experience with distribution to Japan: Are alphanumeric serial numbers (vs. numeric ones) a problem? We didn't have special Japan SNs AFAIR, so not big, but I'm wondering because Nintendo uses only digits for friend codes.

@PrxemGameDev If they didn't fix the Joy Con remotes than this is straight a waste of money. Fix the remotes Nintendo! I'm tired of having to replace them!
