  • Iam_best_dev I'am best (official developer)  (@Iam_best_dev) reported

    @Hot_Lap_League Hi I have hot lap league on the Nintendo switch but the controller keeps breaking and it's too expensive to fix so I'm wondering if I can play it on my phone for free because I bought it on the switch For example a code for the game

  • Japandaman71 🇯🇵ジャパンダマンDreamlight Valley (Nintendo Switch) (@Japandaman71) reported from Melbourne, State of Victoria

    @DisneyDLV I seem to be having an issue creating the torches in the Shine a Light mission on the Nintendo Switch and Xbox Series X. I don’t have the crafting option for the torches but in the top left of the screen it says I have to create the torches as a next step.

  • TheMaractusMan Blubble (@TheMaractusMan) reported

    @JustPas80741539 @NintendoAmerica Can’t fix what ain’t broke

  • Yemz_OG Link in Bio | Eren Naeger (@Yemz_OG) reported

    Who here has got a Nintendo Switch? Is it worth it? I was gonna buy another PSP 3000 as mine is broken, but let me see what the switch is saying first.

  • MsGoddessFreya Goddess Freya 1 Feb 🎂 (@MsGoddessFreya) reported

    I want Wishtender sends. Including a new iPhone 14 pro max to replace the old not working phone I have. As well as a Nintendo. Get to it. My birthday is next week. I want all the spoils in the world

  • KoshkaBaluga wash your dishes (@KoshkaBaluga) reported

    @ANZU_JELLY Every few years I do this on new years because "maybe I'll look good this time" and every year I learn I look like Mario. Not the Nintendo one, the fat new Yorker whos knocking on your door to fix the AC.

  • kyle_O_ren95 Kyle (@kyle_O_ren95) reported

    @OrdinaryGamers They don’t even understand the issue muta. They’re boomers who think every system is Nintendo.

  • LJSTAR_ LJSTAR (@LJSTAR_) reported

    Hey, SEGA If Nintendo ain't gonna do anythin' with the Custom Robo franchise, you guys should definitely do more Virtual-On :V I need my cool robots running around and shooting with a buncha weapons fix

  • dergnz Anthropy (anthropy@mastodon.derg.nz) (@dergnz) reported

    @ghaginn NAND doesn't have much of a discharge issue though, grab any NAND from even decades ago and it'll still work 99% of the time (e.g Nintendo DS cartridges), the writing of NAND is actually its main weakness.

  • hassotobi47 Hassotobi47 (@hassotobi47) reported

    @NintendoAmerica Not worth the 50 bucks. ****** online service. Scam company.

  • CheruAteBerries CherryAteYourBerries (@CheruAteBerries) reported

    @D3f3n3str4t10n Watch this just be something much more serious caused by yet another hardware problem that could easily be fixed or something that Nintendo never bothers fixing, so switch sales just dip due to their terrible decision making lmao

  • Rividssbm Rivid (@Rividssbm) reported

    @TheZaius @wolfxsmoke @Kotaku No? If you don't physically hurt anyone it's a none issue, maybe TOs will warn you to calm it down but it's all open bracket like a convention, it's not something run by Nintendo or some big corporation

  • dyeannerss Dyeanners (@dyeannerss) reported

    About to plays games on my Nintendo switch, hoping to get pass level 10 on crash bandicoot. If you hear nothing it’s because I failed

  • justbeagaming just bea (@justbeagaming) reported

    @luckyduckish that sounds like a good plan. worst case i need to send a message to nintendo so that they just switch harry's and maddie's birthdays. problem solved. 😝

  • NotRaheeb **Raheeb (@NotRaheeb) reported

    @RGrosik Just smashed my monitor and threw out my switch. I no longer want to play fire emblem. It’s such a broken game that I don’t even know how it got released. Im deactivating so don’t see anything fire emblem related. Thank you nintendo. You’ve ruined my life.🤦🏾🤦🏾🤦🏾🤦🏾🤦🏾

  • NatsuNightwing Jonnathan Galindo (@NatsuNightwing) reported

    @PaladinsGame Listening? Really? You still not fix the crashes on Nintendo Switch PLUS you are going to remove the Bounty Store so...no, You are not listening

  • breadryo ryo! | nsfw dni | i💙paul leskowitz petscop 🏳️‍⚧️ (@breadryo) reported

    Gonna make a Crash Bandicoot exe as it would make it so I have four different exes from different franchises that represent big parts of gaming. System is Sonic/Sega, Warped is Mario/Nintendo, and Beezle is/pacman/bandai namco. the crash exe would be the ps1 and sony

  • ZeenDonuts Seen (@ZeenDonuts) reported

    @Graslu00 I think most won't notice. Like with every other glitch I imagine Nintendo will patch it by the time the February or March NSO game is out

  • AGamingBadger Harley (@AGamingBadger) reported

    @Giolove1234 The Switch Pro Controller thing is a Nintendo issue, as they don't provide proper support for PC like Xbox and Playstation do. As for other issues, yeah that just kinda sounds like PC.

  • AegisSSB Aegis | XENOBLADE 3 YUHHHH (@AegisSSB) reported

    @DMedicEchsrick @PizzaCake700 @NintendoAmerica It's not like it's anything huge. Just an extra ring and paralogue. Plus the game itself is complete. To me, if the game feels complete and has Day 1 DLC that's ok. If a game feels incomplete and takes months for DLC to come out and minimal patches in between, that's a problem

  • patricknotirl patrick (@patricknotirl) reported

    nintendo wii broken

  • PoipoleBoi PoipoleBoi (@PoipoleBoi) reported

    @doug_gunther Welcome to NSO, where you need to purchase a Lan to fix Nintendo's awful online that you also need to pay for

  • kerasakiii its me boy im the ps5 (@kerasakiii) reported

    @SVTNFTS This error message means that you are not using the primary console for the Nintendo Account that purchased the game. On a non-primary console, the game can only be started by the player that owns the game <- i need to decipher this

  • kerasakiii its me boy im the ps5 (@kerasakiii) reported

    @SVTNFTS i think the peoblwm is that u bought the game with a specific nintendo acc and u want to open it with a different one and thats causing the service to be a bit nauseous

  • hassotobi47 Hassotobi47 (@hassotobi47) reported

    Nintendo would actually be a good company if it didn't scam its customers into paying 20 bucks for an unplayable service

  • Eienias Eienias | Monica Simp (@Eienias) reported

    had two phone calls with Nintendo Support and thank the Architect i've got my Nintendo Wii U problem solved! Yay! for context: my Wii U is the one my older sister gave me since she doesn't use it. i bought a buncha games on it since the shop is closing

  • Jameron4evaSean Sean Clevenger (@Jameron4evaSean) reported

    @XARTSVX @XcloudTimdog You need a service that will allow for it, and Sony refuses to use theirs thus far this way, Nintendo might actually, it's just crazy enough an idea *sees Nintendo require another 'add-on pack' to online for this* oh, never mind.

  • SVTNFTS 💗 (@SVTNFTS) reported

    @kerasakiii ITS LIKE not a game issue i just cant connect the nintendo acc

  • SpaceMutiny Laharl (@SpaceMutiny) reported

    Looking more into it and the reissue of GoldenEye for XBox and Switch look like a bag of *****, depending what platform you want to get it on. Nintendo wants you to buy into their high level subscription service to play it even though you get multiplayer on it can't buy it alone

  • GRANTC0RE Grant Core (@GRANTC0RE) reported

    @rieper47 @XboxANZ Why are you taking it up with Xbox then? Sounds like a Nintendo problem
