  • ta19408870 Jenny_T (@ta19408870) reported

    @RonnieTalbott @GameStop @FedEx My switch from GameStop stopped working after a month (wouldn’t connect to WiFi and I get some mystery error code). It is covered under Nintendo warranty but have to mail it in and not have it for 2+ months. 🙄

  • LurkerGuy LurkerGuy (@LurkerGuy) reported

    Pokemon is a separate issue when it comes to legal matters. The Pokemon Company handles these matters, not Nintendo, and they seem to be stricter on what Pokemon fangames and stuff they will ignore and which ones they will not.

  • XtremeBarnett Trans-Witch (@XtremeBarnett) reported

    @The_Farmer_John I usually say criticism is always valid for bigger companies ie EA, Activision, Nintendo. But BHVR is an exception; criticism is always valid against them when they can't even do the absolute most BASIC of features (MMR, tutorial, Safety against Ddos).

  • frizzlefry1313 Frizzle Fry (@frizzlefry1313) reported

    @PaladinsGame the amount of crashing while playing on Nintendo Switch is unbearable. It has been a problem for years, why are these issues never fixed? #paladinsgame #NintendoSwitch

  • Jamie_Hads Jamie Halliday (@Jamie_Hads) reported

    @proevolutionfc @NintendoUK A pin inside @ the charger is damaged. Shocking customer service

  • WrecklessRidley Wreckless (@WrecklessRidley) reported

    @Neaok11 @NintendoAmerica Yup! I know the ones. Two of them gave me trouble for a while but I managed to do them eventually.

    nintendo wii broken

    2. Pit/Dark Pit Pit and Dark Pit were literally made for each other shut up. Phosphora will not break that up for anything. Plus, age issues. It definitely kills me that canon Phos was BIG flirty with Pit but I simply disregard Nintendo's reality and substitute my own :).

  • zoetargaryen Zoë (@zoetargaryen) reported

    @HyperopticCS PSN won’t work, Nintendo Online won’t work, Square Enix launcher won’t work on desktop for FFXIV, but sure there’s an issue with PS servers 🤔

  • FatKidDeals Fat Kid Deals (@FatKidDeals) reported

    @bxbytrk No region lock on the nintendo switch, so no issues on capability beyond maybe a $5 charging cable.

  • cake31096953 cake (@cake31096953) reported

    @NoConCritics Problem with making good content about Nintendo is you get all the Nintendo nerds . Who won’t shut ******** up,

  • maxterdragon Mike (@maxterdragon) reported

    @NintendoAmerica Please fix the N64 games.

  • TigerDropped Kyle (@TigerDropped) reported

    @ElohistSource @busylovesjesus @ANerdNamedJerry You talked about how you understood the fact Nintendo was pushing for diversity yet you have a problem with it not being about white people even though the point of diversity is to give more to minorities. White isn’t a minority. It’s the major. I thought you knew this.

  • ISN_tweets Ido↙️➡️↘️⬇️↙️⬅️↘️1️⃣➕2️⃣🇮🇱 (@ISN_tweets) reported

    @KowtowRobinson @boomboxhero @Bri4nF Shouldn't it be less of a problem than console tho? Steam for example allows usage for all of the big console manufacturers controllers(nintendo, sony and microsoft)

  • FaithCo11085426 FaithxCole (@FaithCo11085426) reported

    @johnnyBlox_7255 I SEEN A PIECE OF HAIR ON MY NINTENDO SWITCH AND I THOUGHT IT WAS BROKEN UNTIL I MOVED THE HAIRRRR-

  • proto245 Proto (@proto245) reported

    @thebeav20 Or as I like to say it. Nintendo adapting a "Fix it all" fanfiction onto a game.

  • RandomNPC455 RandomNPC (@RandomNPC455) reported

    @TheLobster111 @SomeKittyCat @samtendo09 It must have to do with the game being hacked. Super Metroid ROMhacks also exist without issue. Either Kaze is doing something specifically to earn Nintendo’s ire, or for some reason they really like targeting SM64 hacks specifically.

  • Julio34698377 Red x (@Julio34698377) reported

    @EIcondeLucanor @Hamilton2711 @PokemonUnite But that bug has a solution, link your account with a Nintendo or Niantik account and close session, if the problem is not solved it is because you have bad internet

  • lyro_daniel RIP Sony’s Japan Studio (@lyro_daniel) reported

    @ulymaldo @RockstarGames I will update it to my supporters soon to do it, but I’ll give credit from you. So it means PlayStation and Xbox was the problem. Men… I don’t know why Nintendo was pretty bad on messaging stuff? 😒

  • Ketargy56 Ketargy (Video Games and Music era) (@Ketargy56) reported

    I don't know if a lot of Nintendo Switch players are facing this but it is the second time that my save file got deleted after a console update. This is beyond annoying. I also didn't subscribe to the online service so I guess my data are gone forever. #NintendoSwitch

  • TriforceZard TriZard | XC2 Anniversary (@TriforceZard) reported

    @CDED3807 I don’t know what causes it but upon finishing a match in an arena the game would crash when trying to load the results screen. Nintendo customer support said redownload the game and that fixed it (redownload took forever though)

  • markeyruiz97 Markey97 (@markeyruiz97) reported

    @dimitri_smm I forgot that bug was a thing tbh. Even then, I thought Nintendo had glitch detection where if you do something unintentional in the editor, the game will flag it as "corrupt" and delete it from coursebot. Given Nintendo's current stance with bugs, they should patch the game.

  • SIEJ0_ SIEJ0 🔜 The New War (@SIEJ0_) reported

    For my Switch Warframe viewers trying to login to the website using your Nintendo account the issue is still being looked into. Don’t worry though, they won’t let Nef steal your info or anything. They have an assault team already on it!

  • Every1HasAGift Freedom or Nothing (@Every1HasAGift) reported

    @NintendoAmerica will this Smash update fix Little Mac Up-B let it drift left/right, Sonic's inferior moveset, Dr. Mario's ineffective moveset, Duck Hunt's range on non specials, nerf Myra/Pyrtha and Bowser, DeeDee's neutral air, the Miis more moves and a dozen smaller fixes?

  • kellywasden Kelly Wasden (@kellywasden) reported

    @NintendoAmerica really screwed the pooch with their N64 "online" offering... might be good to fix your horrible netcode, input lag and give fans what they really want. TO OWN THE GAMES.

  • Cancervecero2 CanCerveZero (@Cancervecero2) reported

    @Warface Hello. I am a new user of warface on nintendo switch. when I try to unlock the engineer, the program closes due to an error. Is it just me or all switch users? Thank you.

  • 9djcharles9 Damien (@9djcharles9) reported

    @NintendoUK #disgraceful #Nocustomerservice #avoid purchased a Nintendo switch from Nintendo lied about the deliver. Customer service did not care about this still not able get my console come where they have left it half a mile from my house.Avoid purchasing from them direct.

  • shaxzaa kamino 🖤🤍 (@shaxzaa) reported

    i feel like pokemon is a flagged word for redbubble cos i went to upload my pokémon pieces there and immediately it was sent to a review. i might not be able to sell them like i hoped cos of nintendo and their IP issues

  • nathanosgod Dr. New (@nathanosgod) reported

    Let me rephrase it this way so it makes more sense: if the original policy was if an equally qualified man and woman came in, and the man was chosen 80% of the time, yes that would be a problem. I am for fixing that. If that is what the Nintendo article is fixing then go ahead

    I can't find my Nintendo Switch 😩 my heart is so broken
