    @StrangeKeith Trying to login but Nintendo can’t find my membership.

  • Alejandroid1979 Droid: 8K (@Alejandroid1979) reported

    @RGinther95 The problem is that it's not the hardware, it's the developer Other games Nintendo have done on that hardware look much better, more pleasant to the eyes This is just a low effort from a franchise that make millions

    Tutorial: "Here's how to fix the drift in your Nintendo Switch Pro Controller on your own with a screwdriver, compressed air, and contact cleaner!" "Simple enough, let me try" *Can't even get any of the screws to loosen* "Well... ok..............."

  • GodDamnProtoman BluesDriveBuster🎮FFXI/V DQXI ATL2 (@GodDamnProtoman) reported

    Pre ordered iX2 with 4 hours to spare. I wish Nintendo (and literally all console devs for that matter) would fix their ****** eShop interface tho.

  • jobothehobo_Y_T jobothehoboYT (@jobothehobo_Y_T) reported

    @climaxstudios will yall ever go back to the game adventure time pirates of the enchiridion on Nintendo switch cuz its a amazing idea for a game its fun but it has sooo many issues. I got it and I cant beat the game cuz it keeps crashing and glitching so its un playable id love to see a fix

  • Haipa_Sonikku Antonio C. R. Murray = OkashiraStyle (@Haipa_Sonikku) reported

    - he really didn't want to say it outright, but clearly he (as well as I) think its straight up disrespectful of @PlayStation to have Japan at the back of the line with PS5 with those bullshit *** lottery tickets. Nintendo ain't got no problem with selling in any region.

  • 0xMephisto420 mephisto.loopring.eth (@0xMephisto420) reported

    @eviljordan @RussFrushtick Nice. Subscribed to Nintendo Power with SMB2 issue & had one of my questions published in the Counselor’s Corner: How do I defeat Ganon? Nintendo sent me a letter and a free NES game. It was a ****** game but still cool that my question was published. Yes, I did beat Ganon.

  • Rise_Of_Stats Naruto (@Rise_Of_Stats) reported

    @NintendoAmerica Somehow I can't access the Nintendo Store where we can buy Nitendo Online controllers, I had a Maintenance page for the past 3 days. Is it actually under maintenance for this long or it's a problem on my side?

  • ajsi417 Lyra (@ajsi417) reported

    Is anybody still having the glitch where you only have 9 villagers and you can’t buy the 10th plot from Nook? #acnh #nintendo

  • WaffleVault WaffleVault (@WaffleVault) reported

    @Zombie_Universe @Ceesawman @TheNCSmaster Optimizing what regards you mean? Games run pretty well on it to a point where pretty much every single Triple-A Nintendo game on there can be played all the way through with zero problems (any that's not normally on the switch). 1/2

  • zolriss ⛄🎅happy zolmas🎅⛄ (@zolriss) reported

    @smnsinistertoit 3ds is prolly Nintendo's best imo switch has too many issues for me to put it above that

  • myluckymop m0ppu (@myluckymop) reported

    @jack_geati the fact that the release schedules are so brief and the games always come out lacking polish are ways that the games are more or less guaranteed to lag behind the competition. idk if it's game freak or nintendo but some1 has been content w/ the existing gameplay loop for decades

  • clipartghost Alex (@clipartghost) reported

    I called Nintendo about a small issue with my membership and got hit with the super mario theme... all phone lines should do the same I can't take another royalty-free lofi beat

  • Therrco77 Just The Truth. (@Therrco77) reported

    @LizLeeMN67A I’m very #American. No need for a division of race nor status. You are the problem as you claim diversity. You fool nobody. Good slogan tho. Midterms are gonna suck. People know what I’m saying. Ur game is old and nobody is playing anymore. Might as well be a Nintendo.

  • wotPorpoise Gabriel M. (@wotPorpoise) reported

    @Toxoplamsa @CaptnPickle Yeap. Too many go ‘its more powerful’ or ´it can have a greater library’. The problem is that Steam Deck aint gonna be marketed like the Switch is. Unless it is, it won’t compete. Steam is well known to gamers, but Nintendo is well known to parents.

  • NekoSabs NekoSabs (@NekoSabs) reported

    Nintendo will NOT give a refund either (I checked). So I am stuck with a broken knock off version of Raft. This is a sad day gamers...

  • Trebor_84 Robert Williams (@Trebor_84) reported

    @JAAY_ROCK_ So what's the difference between that and all of the Call of Dutys , Halos, Diablos, Dooms, practically every Nintendo game and any other game that came before with their sequel. This is normal. This "copy and paste" is basically...if it's not broke...don't fix it... dumbass 🤡🤡

  • phillryu Phill Ryu (@phillryu) reported

    @barrsm Hmm yeah could see Nintendo being careful there, the 3DS had some similar issues, I guess less issues there for arguably less gain (diorama 3D and its finickiness was more ‘oh neat’ vs VR’s ‘whoa’)

  • joeyflannel Joey (@joeyflannel) reported

    @MrXBob I've never bothered with an Elite Controller. They're a little too rich for my blood and I find the default Series X controller to be perfect. But it's still absolute garbage that the Elite 2 has such a common problem that's not being fixed. It's like Nintendo and the Joy Cons

  • mickusgaming mickus (@mickusgaming) reported

    @EntermateStar @JangotheBlueFox @AidenRS139 I think the problem with the wii u isn’t the design but relevance to the wii. The wii was very popular and still on the market at the time and the u only added a little to the quality so sales were great. It was the lowest selling mainstream console for Nintendo yet sold 13m

  • dougbot01 dougbot01 (@dougbot01) reported

    @Rise_Of_Stats @NintendoAmerica I’ve had same problem. Not just you.

  • kody_maness Superkody (@kody_maness) reported

    @MatttGFX I’m not sure but prefer my sandwich my the thounds island sauce dam Nintendo could not put crash in

  • whitemask22 Fushisaur🦖🌺 (@whitemask22) reported

    @Nintendeal If you use a steam deck to emulate Nintendo games you’re the equivalent of expecting your new bf/gf to be like your ex and complaining about it not being the same (compatibility issues/unreliable)

  • kwyjibo133 Adrian Fernando (@kwyjibo133) reported

    @qojte @Nintendeal One glaring problem. The Steam Deck spent no money in marketing. It's putting all its stock in its own fanbase, which isn't a lot of people; at least nowhere near the amount of ubiquity Nintendo has. Non-gaming adults calling any game-console a "Nintendo" kind of ubiquity.

  • jobothehobo_Y_T jobothehoboYT (@jobothehobo_Y_T) reported

    @CNGames will yall ever go back to the game adventure time pirates of the enchiridion on Nintendo switch cuz its a amazing idea for a game its fun but it has sooo many issues. I got it and I cant beat the game cuz it keeps crashing and glitching so its un playable id love to see a fix

  • Dithorba 610 Orbs For Misha (@Dithorba) reported

    @DainnOfGungnir @toothestarz Personal dissatisfaction? Issues working with IntSys/Nintendo? Perhaps even just outright wanting anonymity? All of these would be fairly valid reasons, but I doubt it will ever be disclosed to us.

  • Master0fHyrule Master0fHyrule (@Master0fHyrule) reported

    @AngryJetpack I actually agree with Nintendo here. No one is allowed to upload until the game is released which isn't until 9am EST on Thursday. Doing so before then will get you in trouble.

  • RobbyGood22 Brandon Robinson (@RobbyGood22) reported

    @MitchMitcheson It's something a ton of people are asking for. I just dont think that each company needs to follow eachother. The day and date thing might work for xbox, but not for Sony or Nintendo, and thats totally fine. Everything doesnt need to be on a subscription service right away.
