    @botaniccal ...🤔🤔🤔 Mmmm, too bad about the Dreams dude, but not only was Nintendo within their rights on the issue (literally everyone including the creator themselves agrees on that) they only said stop using/sharing it. Slap on the wrist, they still have their personal creation.

  • winnkey Thomas Winkelman (@winnkey) reported

    @Purplecliffe good to see a good faith effort from the dude, but honestly these days i totally get him. Its clearly his image, and not only could that of negatively effected him but nintendo it self are certainly not afraid of litigation, so issues might of come to a head if not contested.

  • Wyvern530 Wyvern (@Wyvern530) reported

    @Xylofunk I see your point. I didn't know that it existed from the beginning. By any chance specification is a possibility. Tentatively, I will contact Nintendo later. I'm gonna contact you again if Nintendo reply to me. Please contact me or everyone by Twitter if you find another glitch.

  • geoffreycrofte Geoffrey Crofte 🔥 (@geoffreycrofte) reported

    Note: Sony kills me with these ******* updates. I don't have the issue with Nintendo Switch, or they are dealing with updates way more efficiently 😜

  • gr3yf3ath3r Iswyrm (@gr3yf3ath3r) reported

    @FrancescoDonald @andrethebestbro Indeed the Atari crash have near killed the western presence into consolle market, until Microsoft contested the market with the Xbox in early 2000; but another factor is the home computers were a lot cheaper than whatever Nintendo tried to sell at time.

  • newhorizonshype Polymorphing Ghost (@newhorizonshype) reported

    One of the things I would most like to see Nintendo fix in the next update is the spawn rate of seasonal diys. I've been TTing like crazy trying to get all the mush and maple diys and I am so sick of farming balloons just to get clay 😑

    @SquirtleSquad7 The fact we're this many years in, and Nintendo has made no efforts to fix this drift problem, when we've even had users get new joycons within a couple weeks, and experience the drift again, is not okay. People have a right to complain about it.

  • Carnyzzle Carnyzzle (@Carnyzzle) reported

    @luckeydevil @Alpharad You see the problem with that is that Nintendo doesn't MAKE it so that we can even buy these games if we ******* wanted to. I would love to legally play old arcade ports like nes galaga but that's still not on the switch virtual console

  • HawkHollywood stephen (@HawkHollywood) reported

    @TheYearIs20BC Nintendo will then send the moon a C&D. Problem?

  • Shas_La Pathfinder (@Shas_La) reported

    @TheHinduDindu Do not get the lite switch. At least with the proper switch you can just get a new controller. It sucks but you don't have to change your whole goddamns console. Also FU @Nintendo for not fixing the joycon drift issue. You incompetent *****.

  • Elaine_Parsons Elaine_Parsons (@Elaine_Parsons) reported

    @Bullet_Bole @denishanusch Super dissapointed with #Nintendo customer service after a very promising start. I logged fault with the repair service and was givenall the info as to what to do and was also sent the postal documentation pretty promptly. All good...impressed so far.

  • DrPapaphilips Dr.Papaphilips🇬🇷 | SPG (@DrPapaphilips) reported

    @NintendoAmerica you ******* fix the online in smash you ruined the match mimakos vs deno in crew battle

  • amitywlw max, a gay bitch ❄️ (@amitywlw) reported

    DID NINTENDO REALLY MAKE AND SELL A FIX IT AU FANFIC AS A GAME??? 😭 /POS

  • Locki__ Locki🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿 (@Locki__) reported

    @SavedYouAClickV Why did they word it like that? Stick drift is just what happens to controllers after a while some are faulty so they start drifting quicker but others don't drift until like 10 years later. I say that the only way that sony/nintendo can fix drifting is make adjustable -

  • patricknotirl patrick (@patricknotirl) reported

    nintendo wii broken

  • bubbers56789 fuck plexiglass (@bubbers56789) reported

    @SavedYouAClickV This ain't Nintendo, I'm sure they'll fix it within a few months.

  • HalleWeen2012 Me (@HalleWeen2012) reported

    @NintendoUK seem to be having a problem with my switch the controls drift to other parts of the device and select other things than what i wanted

  • fire_phoenix242 Fire chap (@fire_phoenix242) reported

    @service_gamer @Sergeant16bit @SSF1991 And Nintendo completely deletes anyone who does anything they don’t like, refuses to fix joycon drift, and puts arbitrary limits on glorified emulators to make more money.

  • palcomovo jowjow (@palcomovo) reported

    @awardshoo @REVERSALx7 @TheUriGeller if he had stayed quiet he would not have changed anything. nintendo had already worked around the problem and nobody cared about it anymore

  • ZenGraphics_ Zen (Commissions Closed 5/5) (@ZenGraphics_) reported

    @Noshten @gibbogame @Nintendo Not to mention games like MK8D, BotW, SwSh , SSBU and SMO Coupled with stock shortage problems for the other 2 tbh

  • cleveru16605923 pelican food | maclunkey (@cleveru16605923) reported

    @Stealth40k what I hope to see happen (but probably won't end up happening) is a revamp of the classic games service for NSO to launch alongside the Switch Pro (not exclusive to it, though) just get a bunch of Nintendo games from all their consoles and shove them onto NSO

  • amiiboman1 TheGuy (@amiiboman1) reported

    @ICANTBECALM @MythicalRevived @NintendoAmerica Then why is joycon drift still an issue

  • WilliamCail1 William Cail (@WilliamCail1) reported

    @Catsupy_Art @zangotang Well you didn't get a license to sell Nintendo merch. So yeah you get in trouble.

  • HalleWeen2012 Me (@HalleWeen2012) reported

    @VeryHelpers I have a nintendo switch which has recently started to drift onto other parts of the console when using it. I have a service product with yourselves for this item

  • LuisRiv30532422 Luis Rivera (@LuisRiv30532422) reported

    @FortniteGame @CHONKIEFTUTZ Fix Nintendo Switch servers pls

  • CrasherX2000 CrasherX #ShantaeForSmash (@CrasherX2000) reported

    @Catsupy_Art @zangotang What is with Nintendo and their fanbase? 25% of the time they acknowledge the fanbase and offer fan service while the other 75% they just completely screw them over I DON’T GET IT

  • hakureistar456 hakureistar (@hakureistar456) reported
