    @Wario64 Tbf if you haven't opened the box and seen how close the screen is and how it's unprotected, you wouldn't think twice about stapling the receipt. You would think there would be some type of protection. It's unfortunate but the employees did nothing wrong, it's a Nintendo issue.

  • mmdman886 Werewolf Freak (@mmdman886) reported

    @_Onchigo_ @NintendoAmerica You mean like how the day 1 switch had issues freezing :) or how the joycon dirft started a week after the switch1 released. An nintendo never updated the joy cons to use magnets but you wouldn't know any of this since your a casual XD

  • Coolectable_ Coolectable (@Coolectable_) reported

    Target has the absolute worst shipping service on the planet and it’s not even close. Absolute tragedy no matter if I’m ordering cards, a Nintendo switch, or anything else. Just horrendous

  • engemarcelo Marcelo (@engemarcelo) reported

    @NintendoCanada Trying to buy a GC controller, getting an error Tried iOS, Android, Windows, Chrome, Edge, Firefox, same error on check-out. Application error: a client-side exception has occurred (see the browser console for more information).

  • jceeclayton ᴊᴄᴇᴇ 🏳️‍⚧️ (@jceeclayton) reported

    @GenePark Its Nintendo's issue, this whole way of announcing, as far as leaving the price out of the reveal Direct. Nintendo gave space for misinformation in which they could have made it crystal clear. We can blame individuals, but Nintendo controls the message, it's their doing.

  • grok Grok (@grok) reported

    @nakamura_a_ @Vsadix2112 The video seems to be a joke or exaggeration, as there's no clear evidence of injury from the Nintendo Switch 2. It likely shows playful handling of the console, not a real safety issue. No credible reports confirm Switch 2 injuries, and ergonomic concerns are speculative, typical for gaming devices. The title is probably meant to grab attention, not reflect a serious hazard.

  • UmaFlame Uma Flame (@UmaFlame) reported

    @VampirePhantasm Same. I’m replaying Pokémon Scarlet first on my Nintendo Switch 2. I honestly cannot wait. Never 100% the game cause the lag and other performance issues were making me not fully enjoy the game. Didn’t do much of the raids or other stuff. I was only shiny hunting the most.

  • mmdman886 Werewolf Freak (@mmdman886) reported

    @_Onchigo_ @NintendoAmerica 1 the nintendo screen protector/ bag are low quality, 2, the switch dock has a bad reputation for damaging screens, 4 nintendo doesn't fix joycons they replace them. Do you enjoy being proven wrong? Because your points are seriously uninformed.

  • mmdman886 Werewolf Freak (@mmdman886) reported

    @_Onchigo_ @NintendoAmerica You do realize nintendo was forced by the courts to fix the joycons hence the new eula violates consumer rights. But you wouldn't know that much.

  • Tavcore ♂ Tav (@Tavcore) reported

    @pinkturtle74 @Fimbulvetr39 @iLOVEDEFTY its from gamestop 2019. i dont think its by nintendo apart from licensing, but this has never given me any issue so they did a great job.

  • Gamechamp3k Gamechamp (@Gamechamp3k) reported

    @gokudrip13445 Sorry I meant a Nintendo account, not the NSO subscripton service. You just need to have an online account

  • Frokken31 Patrick/Frokken 🔞 (@Frokken31) reported

    @Johnny2Cellos When I went to pick mine up an hour ago, someone came in with the exact same issue. It's a manufacturing issue most likely. If you have a warranty, I would reach out about getting a replacement. If you don't, contact Nintendo directly

  • FZone96 Wolfy Noctix (@FZone96) reported

    Still stuck at Error Code 2002-6000. Thanks, Nintendo.

  • mmdman886 Werewolf Freak (@mmdman886) reported

    @_Onchigo_ @NintendoAmerica 1 you can't mod / edit the console. When this violates the court trials of sony vs bleem! and Nintendo vs Game genie that allows you to mod, hack, and reverse engineer your console. Sections has a issue your not familar with.

  • BibliophileJB Justin B. (@BibliophileJB) reported

    Very dispiriting situation, all my excitement about the #Switch2 cratered because @NintendoAmerica, @BestBuy, and @BestBuySupport are unwilling to rectify my situation of a missing Mario Kart World digital game in my Switch 2 Bundle. They have thrown their metaphoric hands up and decided that it’s not their issue.

  • DragonTimaeus DragonTimaeus (@DragonTimaeus) reported

    @FortniteStatus @FortniteStatus Could you fix Meowdas' GOLDEN TOUCH, dropped and swapped weapons do not stay Golden on ground or other players hands. I play on Nintendo Switch and Playstation and its happening to both.

  • PhilPlays3 Phil Plays TCG (@PhilPlays3) reported

    @PlayerEssence @Its_Huffdaddy Aw yes, be happy Nintendo made you pay $500 to fix their games they poorly optimized. Thanks daddy Nintendo 👌

  • itwasme_dio_ Indecorous Inkslinger (@itwasme_dio_) reported

    @JackaryDraws From what I understand, Nintendo said that their strategy to fight scalpers is to flood the market with so many consoles that there's never a shortage, so getting one shouldn't be a problem. :3

  • zerobladeex Zeroblade (@zerobladeex) reported

    @eyesonbee This one has too much red tape wrapped around. Sadly one of the issues is Nintendo. Even if square Enix owns xenogears, the xenoblade stuff comes from gears. Then you have Xenosaga stuff from monolith etc. It's a mess

  • Grimpachi_ GRIMPACHI (@Grimpachi_) reported

    @ShadowFoxArche Time out... thanking Nintendo doesn’t mean they asked for this. 2 if Nintendo simply found an affordable medium this wouldn't have even been a thing. Yes we can blame Nintendo because they made the switch knowing the issues it had with physical only to make it worse on switch 2.

  • blackcatbard 🌸 princess kieru 🌸 (@blackcatbard) reported

    @lordsteele with how many issues the original switch had at launch, idk how people can trust nintendo to not wait for at least two production waves until even thinking about getting a switch 2

  • MrWodensdag MrWodensdag (@MrWodensdag) reported

    I expected this one given Nintendo's prior communication on SF 30th. Wanted to see how this one fared given they use the same underlying engine. Literally the first switch 1 game I booted up lmao. Hope it's a unique issue and not more widespread. I specifically targeted it based on the prior compat info given.

  • Sharkoel_ 💮Sharkoel💮 (@Sharkoel_) reported

    @REMEMBERED125 And are you sure that nintendo banned you because of this problem, I think they banned you for a different thing

  • JustWulf Just Wulf 🐺 (@JustWulf) reported

    Someone at Nintendo is DEFINITELY gettin' in trouble for this 😫😫😫

  • zero_xof 🌙 (@zero_xof) reported

    @NintendoAmerica Dawg fix these slow *** downloads.

  • fourmthree ₣⊕µ₹MᅫRᇀƎ (@fourmthree) reported

    @iDavey I get this error and bought an official Nintendo SD Express card. Any ideas?

  • TheFishyFilms Fishy (@TheFishyFilms) reported

    are nintendo servers down?

  • Glen_EIg Glen Elg (@Glen_EIg) reported

    @mu77x897400tote Ive always been thinking about this issue since like 2020 regarding the switch & its game sizes/storage costs, i legit think its the main reason for 90$\80$ costs of physical versions & the whole game key card thing Nintendo needs a UMD Solution for Switch 3 imo

  • ThroatNaught stitch (@ThroatNaught) reported

    somewhere out there was someone who had their nintendo switch 2 broken today

  • OnikaRape Swattina (@OnikaRape) reported

    Lana del rey fans when idk an unreleased song only available on an app called ”Visterina: 14th sound collection of 2011” which is not available in any country except liberia and central australia that was recorded on a broken nintendo DS from 2003 illegally in the state of kansas
