    @NintendoAmerica Time to send in my SD card to Nintendo to fix my save file again!

  • linknavizelda DenteDoDante (@linknavizelda) reported

    @NintendoAmerica Fix now

  • GEORGIOARCADE Lvl 31🦀 (@GEORGIOARCADE) reported

    @btnh36 @NintendoAmerica @Wario64 I can see your point bro. New games should not need a patch to fix something that should have been caught by game testers before the game was even finalized. You are paying $65 so the game shouldn't have these defectives. I understand games take work but this is becoming a trend

    Nintendo Promises Fix For Metroid Dread Bug That Stops Players From Progressing

  • PedroPandas Pedro (@PedroPandas) reported

    @Jeremy67677373 @the_potomac @Wario64 Ah yes, the “limited quantity” of…literally millions. I’ve had zero issues getting the Amiibo that I wanted. You really think Nintendo wants to limit their own potential profits by not making enough product to meet demand? How does that make any sense for a profitable business??

  • haruujin Joe & K stand with 🇵🇸 | Appmon & Ghost Game stan (@haruujin) reported

    I truly do not believe the backlash towards bandai for ex tamers warranted a recall when the gachas were never refunded and were the actual problem but if it actually was then japanese digimon fans are more entitled than western Nintendo fans (which I don't believe is possible)

  • FeoUltima Andrea • Vampire **** (@FeoUltima) reported

    Pretty much every first party Nintendo game on Switch breaks franchise sales records without even trying and people still parrot Nintendo's statements that piracy is a growing issue for them when it's provably not.

  • 7HeartGuardiaYT May Your Heart Be Your Guiding Key (@7HeartGuardiaYT) reported

    @EddyZacianLand This guy is what people imagine when they discuss about a Nintendo fan, that's a problem :/

  • Kerze51 Maurice (@Kerze51) reported

    @EasyMode243 @NintendoUK @Shinesparkers Can the glitch be corrected by removing the marker?

  • RevusCaeldas h̶o̵r̴r̴o̷r̵s̴ ̸o̸f̶ ̴t̷h̶e̴ ̴v̶o̶i̵d̶❼ (@RevusCaeldas) reported

    @ventrus_kyarn Yeah its the same in super smash from wii i remember that. Look i prefer that rather than having everything and get bored of the game in 2 days The omly problem is how ******* absurd and expensive it is. And Nintendo being Nintendo, there wont be any discount or sale ever

  • pinkkittymew Alexi 🎀 (@pinkkittymew) reported

    @ZachaRic_O @rayquaza36 I would recommend trying to get it on another system as the switch version of every game (including the PS2 games for some stupid reason) are cloud service only and Nintendo's online servers are notoriously bad

  • LanktheDank Julius🦇 (@LanktheDank) reported

    @DemetriLightnin @richiee_star @NintendoAmerica I beat it and never noticed any problem with the frame rate

  • luuuuiiisss1 Luis camera ação, meu pau na sua mão (@luuuuiiisss1) reported

    smoking broken window smoking broken window playing my nintendo

  • Bootlegleg Boobleg @ Bayonetta 1 (@Bootlegleg) reported

    @wanderergoodman why is it when someone only loves nintendo, they also like crash bandicoot and not a single othe rgame

  • steamedcarpet JP (@steamedcarpet) reported

    @crecenteb I have a OG switch with speaker issues (no longer plays any sound). Nintendo wants $100 for repair. Do you think its worth it to get the OLED model or just pay for a repair?

  • So_Darn_Tired So Tired (@So_Darn_Tired) reported

    @m_abdulmohsenn An even bigger problem is Nintendo putting out weak consoles causing gamers to download metronid dread for free and play it at 4k 60fps on Pc. The YouTube videos of it is glorious😑

  • spannathegreat Spanna (@spannathegreat) reported

    1st world problem here but my god the joy con's suck already sent 3 or them away to be fixed and now they are broken again. Sort it out @NintendoUK I wanna play pokemon snap without my viewfinder having a mind of its own.

  • Dancing__HotDog The House That Gave Sucky Tricks (@Dancing__HotDog) reported

    I actually had this one when it was new and it kicked my butt. I was hellbent on getting through it. Over the course of many months, I made it through all the palaces. (With a lot of trial and error and Nintendo Power magazines).

  • ChadPrim3 The Chad (@ChadPrim3) reported

    @TGS_2012 @swooper_d I'm working on my review of the switch version. Worst bug I had was a tie between some graphical distortion when picking up a power up and one game crash when waking up the system. The glitches were UTTERLY blown WAY out of proportion by the media and Nintendo bashers

  • edusousa_jpg Eduardo Augusto (@edusousa_jpg) reported

    @NintendoAmerica I already finished this game and I want to try this glitch. Wich door should I mark and destroy?

  • DuckDadGaming1 DuckDadGaming (@DuckDadGaming1) reported

    Daaang #Nintendo You put out a game like this with this much Hype and you can't get the patch out until the end of October?????People can't even play their game now because of an error 😬 Wow.. #MetroidDread I thought there was extensive testing involved?!?? **Smh**

  • lordballboy THIS PROJECT IS RETIRED (@lordballboy) reported

    @RangoTheMercSSB @Shillel46281848 @NintendoAmerica the boss wasn’t my problem i just wasn’t expecting the ending to be another self destruct sequence and then i escape again. i thought it was leading into another area bc that how the game did that earlier in the game

  • NintendoShame Nintendo Shame (@NintendoShame) reported

    It's been 86 days since the last game was added to the Nintendo Switch Online service

  • Shisuinuggetino Xioneying (@Shisuinuggetino) reported

    @TrueKingOfSkill I don't even have a problem with byleth the character. But, the hypest moment was before the trailer started. The trailer was so slow and dragged on for way too long. If it was revealed in a normal Nintendo direct I think it wouldn't have been bad tho. Bad timing and wrong direct

  • kolarska123 Mirek Kolarski (@kolarska123) reported

    @fulagann @chris_ridleyyy @RocketLeague I can use all my dlcs cross Platform with no problem, its Just that if you had your DLC from Disc version it wont transfer, and if you are using Nintendo Switch as Nintendo doesnt want to share with others.

  • Harriso84651147 Harrison (@Harriso84651147) reported

    @NintendoUK People complaining about this clearly have no idea how a game is devloped and tested and it shows. Honestly consider this is not really game breaking and has to be done in specific circumstances its not a massive issue, and they have addressed it and promised a fix in 15 days

  • jonnydarkfang Jon Harvey (@jonnydarkfang) reported

    After much trouble, my copy of Metroid Dread finally arrived! Nintendo cancelled my preorder without telling me, glitch in the system, so I ordered elsewhere. Then post got delayed, taking 4 days for a next day delivery. Now I just need to wait till the Amiibo arrive on Nov 4th!

  • Anthony45866568 Anthony Carroll (@Anthony45866568) reported

    @DemetriLightnin @NintendoAmerica This is ne being honest, not contrarian, i honestly haven't noticed framerate issues. I honestly don't know what everyone is complaining about. Can someone please show me where this occurs?

  • OEdswald OzwaldEdswald (@OEdswald) reported

    @TheNCSmaster @joshscorcher The Switch has its issues, but holy crap it is still such a fanatic system. Not since the GameCube have a I bought so many games, both first and third party, for just a Nintendo console.
