    We covered Assassins Creeds story glitch, Nintendo shutting down Big House’s tournament and Wotc’s Lawsuits.

  • JumpOnStuff JumpOS (@JumpOnStuff) reported

    @NintendoAmerica I know youre total amateurs in the industry but the way you have me locked out of my switch account with no working 2SA or password reset options is unacceptable. DM me and fix this crap

  • Susbunny69fan ._. (@Susbunny69fan) reported

    Fortnite on Nintendo switch is the worse. I'm desperate for a PC, I don't give a ****, I want it now so my game doesn't lag every 5 seconds in build battles.

  • BriceCollin cardigan collin (@BriceCollin) reported

    @sleepytk Nintendo Eshop is not working for me right now which maybe is a sign hahahahaha

  • kyxrem Manu (@kyxrem) reported

    @GleamEyes26 @Tsukento No problem about that The reason I defend piracy, even more with nintendo, is because they don't lower the price of great titles like BotW, MK8, AC, Pokémon, etc As you said, they only try to compete with the multiplatform games, and even with that+

  • supersmith2500 Sup3rSm1th2500 (@supersmith2500) reported

    Is the Nintendo eshop servers down? I can't access it.

  • MilesConstanti1 4D Square (@MilesConstanti1) reported

    @SobbleAJ @mikehaze @NintendoAmerica The problem is that Melee was a very cool game with many mechanics that made it feel good. During these times when seperated people have made project Slippi that made Melee online so people can still be in tournaments. Nintendo is actively trying to get rid of smash events that b

  • DaneWashington7 Danester8 (@DaneWashington7) reported

    Match up?! Forget about it here’s a wolf and a link that spam projectiles which can easily be countered, but oh wait here’s another lag spike. It’s sad that when you play online your forced to play like a degenerate if you want to win. Nintendo’s a multi billion dollar company

  • VGMike7 Michael D'Avanzo (@VGMike7) reported

    Anybody else having issues with the Nintendo eshop? @NintendoAmerica What's going on?

  • ImmortalJD99 Immortal (@ImmortalJD99) reported

    @sign_sid No, they couldn’t. Nintendo didn’t issue the C&D to the streamer. It was issued to the organizers.

  • XinguIarity xɪɴ @ #ᴀɢᴇᴏꜰxɪɴɢᴜʟᴀʀɪᴛʏ (@XinguIarity) reported

    @Nintendo Fix your damn controllers already you hanafuda hacks. Find better suppliers for parts or something.

  • RMBTS_official Echo⁷ (@RMBTS_official) reported

    I cried because nintendo switches are sold out and are $500+ if i want one and I don't want to get a lite bc my hands, so i have to wait so I'm hopefully sending mine in soon and that they can fix it

  • LaidBack_Kain Laid-Back Kaín🐻🐦 (@LaidBack_Kain) reported

    @DP9A2 Sorry I run out of space to continue. Is diferent when is an big event that has ties with Nintendo, Big House is an official event, not just a small tournament that they can ignore. The problem with Slippi and Mod Melee is that if the get too big they need to adress it.

  • JulioCGarciaJr1 Julio Garcia (@JulioCGarciaJr1) reported from Stickney, Illinois

    @NintendoAmerica FIX THE DAM ESHOP

  • justThemys Alix 🌈🍖 working on commissions queue (@justThemys) reported

    @borzoilegs Oooh thanks for the tip !  At the end, the issue is that he didn't have any nintendo account associated with his console, and doing so fixed it !  But I'm keeping this image for future ref in case I need to reupload an update !! 💖

  • ringmelt ring (@ringmelt) reported

    @Nintendeal Not even close lmao. I picked up Red Dead 2 for $20, Jedi Fallen Order for $25 and Crash 4 for $30, all half price or more. Also if we’re talking Nintendo, Luigi’s Mansion 3 and Link’s Awakening are the same price as this, are they not overall better games?

  • ShitTakesShina Shit Takes Shina (COOMER PRIDE MONTH 🏳️) (@ShitTakesShina) reported

    @hd7s63ns @ValPal325 @BitchAssBowie Last time I checked, last launches were no issue. The only time it was an issue was with the NES Mini, but that's because Nintendo made it artificially difficult to find. You aren't going to get a free PS5 or RTX 3080 by defending these sad excuses of human beings. lmao.

  • JustCliff_ Just Cliff | The 1-Up Crew - A Nintendo Podcast (@JustCliff_) reported

    @vDeadbolt @luckeydevil @IGN Exactly, Xbox Gamepass is heading in that direction. If Nintendo had a service for their 1st party titles that was affordable, people might switch. And also, re-release your old content. You can’t complain about anything Wii U - older since it’s not supported

  • larryemcdaniel Rebellious Scholar (@larryemcdaniel) reported

    @ChrisC_Hussle Even without the pandemic I have reseller friends who completely destroyed the Nintendo Switch market and made bank off of it. The pandemic just exacerbated the problem. Gamers not use to this because there's only a new console every 6-7 years. Bots have evolved since PS4/XB1.

  • JermyyC AliB (@JermyyC) reported

    @Motionless_IX @AsukaSuzuki360 I get where you coming from, I once complained about Nintendo non-existent costumer service and got really negative comments on reddit.

  • HashYilmaz Hashim Yilmaz (@HashYilmaz) reported

    @NintendoUK eShop seems to be down. Error code 2137-4023. Can you confirm ?

  • RiceWithHoney Imprisoned (@RiceWithHoney) reported

    I don’t dc at all during scrims, but I dc all the time in soloq when my connection is fine. Should I look into this issue more or is it Nintendo’s fault for using peer to peer connection

  • cleveru16605923 pelican food | maclunkey (@cleveru16605923) reported

    @XC_Enel The problem with Nintendo vs Melee fans is that both have been ******** to the rest of us for years. So while what I think Nintendo did is absolutely wrong, I have no sympathy for the Melee fans that don't shower, harass other communities at EVO, and throw ***** at each other.

  • justThemys Alix 🌈🍖 working on commissions queue (@justThemys) reported

    @animalcrossing To everyone for who the event isn't launching despite having downloaded the update: you need to associate a nintendo account to your console ! My little brother had the same issue, and doing this fixed the problem instantly !
