@NintendoAmerica you have hackers running rampant using an infinite amount of items in Mario Kart 8 Deluxe online the past week, are you able to do anything about it or should we just not play the game anymore. Its kinda ridiculous you arent able to fix this problem.

@Sea_Baroness @AboutNintendo @NintendoAmerica Sasha, if you don’t think Nintendo has a massive honest-to-goodness spam problem I have no idea what to tell you. Unless you think dozens of people going ‘bad game’, ‘don’t care + ratio’ and ‘ps5 better’ is legitimate criticism.

How long will it be before they release a system update that fixes this problem? I shouldn’t have to do all this extra stuff just to update a game. Your reputation is plummeting Nintendo #NintendoSwitch #nintendo

Put in #XC2 for the first time in a year, go to check for updates, it has one, but thanks to having @nintendo/@NintendoAmerica's original botched 12.0.3 #NintendoSwitch system update, my #XenobladeChronicles2 patch errored out twice before going through. LET US INSTALL THE FIX!😠

Okay yeah it seems like this is a common issue as of the firmware update, Nintendo is very clearly aware of it given the fact they have a Support Page about it, but I wonder what they did to screw it up to this wide of an extent?

Wasn't one of Super Paper Mario's problems that it was way too easy? Never played those games myself because I grew up with a PlayStation, not a Nintendo.

There must be a LOT of people trying to download #GameBuilderGarage at the same time, because I keep getting an error when trying to do so lol Guess that's what happens when Nintendo makes a game that's basically Super Mario Maker but for more game genres than just platformer.

I have to download Resident Evil 5 & 6 and Nintendo still haven't fixed this broken update, **** Capcom for not physically releasing each game on a cart and please hurry Nintendo, worst time for an update like this to come out just before your Tuesday E3 show

@gamerdudexfile1 I called Nintendo this morning and they said they were still working on the issue. The way I got to download 2 games was by changing my DNS? And by not letting my switch to turn off while downloading.

@SwissArmyTin The problem isn't really the game itself its the Disney vault bullshiy tactics that Nintendo did Imagine in a couple of years where Nintendo just rereleases old GameCube games or wii games for 60 dollar price for a limited time Like now

@FrostByteIV I'd settle for an app/game streaming of old games to a phone. Make it part of the yearly Nintendo service, similar Xbox Game Pass. I'd pay to play old Gameboy games on my phone.
