    @Cptn_Alex I'm here because I'm desperately seeking a replacement battery after _someone_ drove it into a bowl of soapy water. :( The kart isn't even listed on the hardware fix order form. Have @ mentioned Nintendo so hopefully they come back. Anyway, "HAC-038 battery" brought me here =D

  • NintendoShame Nintendo Shame (@NintendoShame) reported

    It's been 22 days since the last game was added to the Nintendo Switch Online service

  • alexevans91 Dr Alex Evans (@alexevans91) reported

    @GeneticJen @NintendoUK any updates on this issue?

  • hemlockisles Ed (@hemlockisles) reported

    this isn't like actually animal crossy related but the fact that people die on the hill of defending Nintendo for selling a broken product (esp at the price point!) and requires you to pay Extra to fix a defect that they Know exists is... buckwild to say the least.

  • Tgollum Gregory Thomson (@Tgollum) reported

    @ChitownHawkeye @MackayIM Don't have a clue Nintendo anything. Every country has it's issues. What @MackayIM I wonder maybe is concerned about is a global issue. The arrogant nations with whatever religion or culture just deny what is ancient history, repeating defiance.

    @TheNintendoFeed Do it but this might be do to legal issues. Copyrights are the true evil. Also focus on Square. They are the ones that own Geno not Nintendo.

  • minishpip pippin (@minishpip) reported

    @sonicpulsar Innit Nintendo should not be charging the amount they do for joy cons considering they literally got sued for the drift issue 🥴 my left one has problems charging as well as the drift issue so I’ve just stopped using them completely at this point and bought another controller

  • PJRaptorSZN Direct PJ 🧤(1-5)(5-2) (@PJRaptorSZN) reported

    @AlexandreCL64 @SpawnWaveMedia I agree Xbox is going to catch up, with all the studio they brought, I don’t think Nintendo problem is the lack of first party games.

  • de_velopment danielle vass (@de_velopment) reported

    @teomatteo89 I've always been a big fan of hyperoptic before - we get it for free with the building so I don't think I'd move from free. But, we had issues with playing nintendo games online with other hyperoptic people (it's a known issue).

  • doktorschruum Dr. Schruum (@doktorschruum) reported

    @FortniteStatus servers seem to be down or I'm having connection issues on my phone *and* nintendo switch for some unexplainable reason?

  • snowwy_123 Cameron Jago Lis (@snowwy_123) reported

    Given up all hope now. Asked for a refund, doubt I'll get it. @NintendoUK worst customer service I've ever dealt with. ' Tam ' being the only person who ever replied to me with a bit of common sense, with ' Carmine ' just throwing blanket replies back in my face. END

  • Orangerry Orangerry (@Orangerry) reported

    Seriously tho, since the dock for the Switch is so expensive cuz Nintendo probably jus said, "**** it", they might as well fix what mess they did and make a portable on-the-go dock and/or do the 4K option.

  • Costello2Alex Pumlz (@Costello2Alex) reported

    @Barbaloot8 @NintendoAmerica Just kill your sister then boom problem solved!

  • redwidow1358 Red Widow (@redwidow1358) reported

    @3uk4r4 @ModernVintageG @YouTube Bold of you to assume this is about respect instead of simple changes behind the scenes, secret problems, or just an accident. Nintendo gave warning before the Wii shop went down, why would the DSiWare games, only in North America, go away without that warning?

  • alexevans91 Dr Alex Evans (@alexevans91) reported

    @GeneticJen Managed to link my Nintendo account to twitter just fine, but can’t do it on my switch - and other people have been having the same problem recently

  • Spacemanqb Chalky (@Spacemanqb) reported

    @FortniteStatus I can’t renew my fortnite crew sub on my switch @NintendoAmerica when I goto eship store it shows an error connecting to fortnite servers. It also isn’t showing in my subscriptions? I need to renew... Nintendo switch and Xbox still having issues...

  • nintendonomics Nintendonomics (@nintendonomics) reported

    I'm seeing a lot of "Who will Nintendo buy next?" Nintendo bought NGL because if they didn't someone else would have and that was would be devastating. Only if that happens again will there a be an acquisition. As I've I said in the past, if it ain't broke don't fix it.

    @Austen more worse is using a switch control to login Nintendo and Ubisoft account!

  • snowwy_123 Cameron Jago Lis (@snowwy_123) reported

    CLEARLY FANTASTIC support by @NintendoUK ... absolutely useless and sending me in circles over the course of two months with no end in sight. Will keep this thread updated for a record of how **** Nintendo's customer service is.

  • snowwy_123 Cameron Jago Lis (@snowwy_123) reported

    @NintendoUK please help me... you’re customer service is sending me in circles.... absolute circles

  • DamienGabaldon Damien Darko (@DamienGabaldon) reported

    @RubberNinja Original nintendo ds problems lol

  • ObjoGaming Objo (@ObjoGaming) reported

    Nintendo has the problem that if there isn't a team that mostly makes games in a certain series (HAL for Kirby, Camelot for Mario Tennis/Golf, etc.) then it isn't getting made. DK, Kid Icarus, 2D Metroid, etc. are promising franchises that rarely see releases because of this.

    @acwndrlnd that would be amazing thank you 🥺 i may have to im going to message nintendo and say ive had the glitch :(( will just have to try get max bells from somewhere again :((

  • retr0greg Greg Wallace (@retr0greg) reported

    @HawkHellfire Nintendo has issues but, Capcom isn't far behind. Doing coop in World is a nightmare lol.

  • AliBaliBee10 Ali Bali Bee (@AliBaliBee10) reported

    @OfficialPLT #NewYearWithPLT I know I don't have any chance of winning this @OfficialPLT & too embarrassed to tell you my problem that I feel such a sad unemployed grandfather who couldn't even give a PS5 & a Nintendo Switch for Christmas to my grandkids!!

    nintendo wii broken

  • Knuxfan24 Knux (@Knuxfan24) reported

    @yumeparadox tfw Atlus release their OSTs on a sensible service before Nintendo even consider it.

  • giantevilrobotg Daniel Whiteman (@giantevilrobotg) reported

    @Actually_Tina Yea, I think the issue is less anything specific Sony did and more how completely dominant the Nintendo Switch has become in Japan. Which isn't surprising considering the Switch is basically the perfect gaming console for Japan.
