-
Kyle James Olson (@KyleJamesOlson) reported@badlydrawnwott @FerrisWheelPro Fix me, because I was the biggest Nintendo fan until around 2019. I bought switch 1 day one. I came home disappointed playing 3 player Mario kart. On my 4k tv it looked so bad. Then the N64 online came out and was worse than emulators on my PC. I was done with the crap.

ChiefBee (@johnditty321) reported@GameSpot Will cost $89.99 to sign in to your account through the Nintendo server

Grok (@grok) reportedNathan, battery calibration can help fix inaccurate charge indicators on the Nintendo Switch, as Nintendo and tech guides like iFixit confirm. It ensures the device displays the correct battery level but doesn't improve actual battery life or fix degradation. Your advice may mislead if presented as a universal fix, as Void suggests. Here's a disclaimer for your video: "Battery calibration corrects inaccurate charge displays but won't enhance battery capacity or fix a degraded battery. For persistent issues, consider replacement per Nintendo's guidelines." This clarifies the method's scope and limitations.

ConnorOhOne (@ConnorOhOne) reported@Alfredo_Toons @makio_jroses I understand the difference, GameFreak codes while Nintendo publishes, not even accounting for Creatures Inc’s third of the ownership. The problem is that on average there’s a new set of pokemon mainline games every 3 years, not accounting everything else like sidegames & (1/2)
-
Trey_Dizzle (@Trey_Dizzle45) reported@KirPinkFury I've had 0 problems plus Nintendo will fix or replace for free
-
TempestWolfVT (@tempestwolfvt) reported@OutOfPocketChum @LaprasKnowsBest @ArtistNcs It really comes down to picking your poison. Regardless, Nintendo fans will most likely get it. The best thing anyone can do is just to know what you're buying, what to expect for issues, and so on.
-
Pain uchiha (@1999Antoto) reported@MiguelGX9 @mrpyo1 And? I’m pointing out hypocrisy. If Pyo buys and enjoy every TLOU remaster then why is it a problem for Nintendo to offer a 10$ upgrade as well?
-
B (@BasedRedhead) reportedIt’s the exact same console, same components… even the same broken controllers that drift. Stick to the switch 1 and give it like 5 years until nintendo actually innovates and makes an original console again.
-
Dave Fellow (@DaveFellow) reported@DramaAlert Not getting the issue here, honestly, why is this a problem now? She wasn't a Nintendo employee nor Nintendo was attached to her in any possible way except for a temporal contract every now and then...
-
CloudRan (@kirito60245726) reported@FerrisWheelPro Bro the part Nintendo fanboy don’t understand has nothing to do with people been mad at you for buying a NS. Is your money you the way you like. The problem comes when the same fanboys start talking nonsense about the NS2 been as powerful as the ps5 when barely reach a steam deck
-
Amy Schumer's Sarlacc Pit (@LuridLogic) reported@NintendoAmerica Well now that money isnt an issue for me I was going to buy one today, but ofcourse everything is out of stock because its too hard to learn that happens every time. So I'm buying a steam deck instead and only emulating nintendo games from this point forward. This is stupid.
-
plasticbagger (@plasticbagger) reportedim honestly shocked no one woke has brought up how the inventor of Donkey Kong said in a Nintendo Power issue in like 2003 that he based the character and world of Donkey Kong on minstrel shows….like wtf. is Nintendo that powerful they can just bury ****** up **** like that?
-
Septemberus Octoberus (@ElCaptainCook) reported@NintendoAmerica Can we fix mario kart? Bugged wall jumps, 0 progression progress, no multi-player free roam. The game feels unfinished. Which is wild considering how long you said it's been finished.
-
GregToms (@Itstommytime1) reported@panik1881 More *Microsoft* platforms LMAO That's the problem LMAO Thr agreement exists. They promised nintendo players
-
Ben Martin (@bjmartin1234) reported@Garfytwit @NintendoUK Did you have a problem connecting it to the internet wired - we can connect using WiFi but wired doesn’t seem to want to work
-
sho (@desmosaddict) reportedcrazy how nintendo didnt fix any of the issues people complained about with the switch 1 when releasing the switch 2
-
BloodyRipley 🎧⭕️ (@red047x) reported@L337L4K3 I just think Xbox clearly doesn’t care about exclusivity and is going to put their games everywhere. Gears going to ps made that even more clear to me. Problem is I don’t see Nintendo or ps doing that to Xbox lol
-
Daniel (@DanielJoonge17) reported@sthetixofficial Updated to the newest Version with no problems. Before updating I tried to launch OFW which failed (I never use it), then launched Semi-Stock and updated online through Nintendo Servers. Got the new HATS-Pack, SYSmmc was already on newest Version, only had to update Emummc Thanks
-
JustSomeRandomGamer (@jsrg_1) reported@seafairyservant @CaseyPhotoz @soniccobra951 WAIT EVERYONE I HAVE FOUND A FIX If u own switch 2 ver of deltarune u get the switch 1 version free!!!! Enter the download code that target provided to Nintendo website to get switch 2 version anyway. Then go to Nintendo’s page for deltarune (switch 1) it should say free download
-
VC (@VC_GamingYT) reported@Nintendo @NintendoAmerica the switch 2 is cool and all, but PLEASE fix the gamecube adapter disconnection problem please!! My controller disconnects after an hour-ish of gameplay
-
TwoWords (@chickagucc) reported@cryptochic0x @kirawontmiss If a grown man is playing Nintendo Switch he needs a Dr visit. Probably has a myriad of problems. Low Test, hormone disruption, obesity, depression...
-
Monado // Justin (@Monado_) reported@KahunaCilver520 Same people that call Nintendo the devil of the industry too, like yeah they have their problems, like being lawsuit heavy and such. But at least I know the money for that $80 game isn't lining the pockets of the CEO. They're actively hiring people, not firing lol.
-
Cass 💜 (@perfectcrimes_) reportedi think nintendo heard everyone wanting mkwii's glitch techs again and responded with legal glitch techs in mkworld bc no way is THIS possible for any other reason
-
Kitastrophe (@Kitastrophe_Ra) reportedNintendo claims the Switch 2 Joy-Cons are built from the ground up—but stick drift is still a problem. They literally copied the internal design. Clearly, the only lesson they took from past consoles is that people will keep paying to replace broken controllers/Joy-Cons. #Gaming #Switch2 #NintendoSwitch2
-
Eduardo Sinisterra (@socv55) reported@Nintendeal Instead of resolve the issue flat out they just put a Band-Aid on the situation L Nintendo
-
Izanagi (@CosmicApocalyps) reported@CentroLeaks Wait, so Gamefreak makes an Xbox Exclusive game that far surpasses anything visually that pokemon has going for it but Scar and Vio looks like **** and Legends Z-A looks visually lazy? So is Nintendo or the pokemon company the problem??? Or is this a whole other department in GF?
-
Wing (@LoperWing) reportedwait I just realized this means Nintendo *lied* in their compatibility data. Pikmin 3 was not in any of the lists of problematic games, meaning Nintendo was insinuating the game worked perfectly. Yet here the game is completely not working.

Onik Dovahkiin (@ODovahkiin) reportedMan, where to start... Are you aware that you can buy games on Xbox as well? They even give you 20% discount for being a Game Pass patron. As for the second half... Xbox makes between 400 to 500 million dollars per month. That's half a billion for average monthly revenue per user. 1 billion every 2 months is stupid money. Also, they have stated numerous times that GP is profitable. Why do you think they doubled and trippled down on it? Now they're making more money by selling on PS stores yes. But I already have IRL buddies jumping ships to PC or Xbox just for Game Pass alone. The service is ridiculously good. Now with an Xbox handheld OTW it's getting crazier with PC exclusive peeps jumping on board. Some of ya'll aren't seeing what Xbox is doing atm, they're literally infiltrating other platforms. And that's not good as well. It will create a monopoly one day. Look at the attached pictures btw. Xbox studios published 11 games this year (Team Ninja is the outlier), Sony studios only 2 on my count so far (Sucker Punch and Bungie is the outlier here). Where do you think Xbox is getting all this money pumping out games at this magnitude? Only Nintendo holds true exclusives. The days of traditional consoles died a year or 2 ago. And this is sad.

Keiichi Morisato (@keiichimorisato) reported@Moondog8679 @J_ROOST @Nintendo 3D isn't that much cheaper, its actually more expensive. The problem is that most adults won't see a 2D animated film, but are willing to see a 3D animated film instead.

Lord Kardok (@LordKardok) reportedI've learned a little bit more about the Switch 2 and would like to change my stance. I will still not be buying a Switch 2, but for different reasons. Now that I'm more informed, I have less issues with the EULA, but I still have problems with prices and Nintendo transparency.
