  • N_Cozy2 Nicholas (@N_Cozy2) reported

    @riennezelda Nintendo kinda ****** but I dont think this is an issue. It only affects twitch chat and it's just kinda common sense that you wouldn't be allowed to bring up slippi in the chat of a Nintendo sponsored event.

  • YAMATO_English YAMATO (@YAMATO_English) reported

    @cheeseamole @Tron_MYC There were way more issues than just the commercials. The third-party support and even the first-party support was horribly lacking (seriously, it's like Nintendo was competing with themselves by trying to make the 3DS outshine it with more and better exclusives).

  • 0Smilers0 Smilers (@0Smilers0) reported

    Okay so i was looking into the ps5 and apparently it needs a subscription service similar to nintendos one that costs €60 a year! To give credit where it's due, I'm sure it is leagues more functional than Nintendo's one... 🥴

  • SuperDracula1 Super Dracula (@SuperDracula1) reported

    remember that voting even harder will totally fix it next time. my dad works at nintendo.

  • RoseSilicon Rose (Mostly RTs now) (@RoseSilicon) reported

    @OmegaDPlus Nintendo ****** up their own Prefetch buffer hardware so their own DS cannot run it. It’s just the phat. The lite addressed this issue.

  • voxybunch epic blight divorce enjoyer (@voxybunch) reported

    I see so many people treat this game the same way they treat nintendo as their friend while criticizing every other game company it's like the solution to these issues is never finding someone to hand out an exception to

  • TUKMARTINTUK tukmartintuk (@TUKMARTINTUK) reported

    @electronicarts I bought FIFA 22 for my son to play on his Nintendo switch. This will not connect to the EA servers. This is a waste of time. I've read many forums of similar problems. It's just not good enough

  • TheQueenAthena Athena but a little g*yer than normal (@TheQueenAthena) reported

    This includes RPGs on the Genesis, SNES, PlayStation, and Nintendo 64, plus a handful on PC. Why? Because I've never played a majority of JRPGs, and even fewer to completion. This coming year will fix that.

  • stevecullum Steve Cullum (@stevecullum) reported

    Fall Guys on Nintendo Switch isn't bad at all! Expected some lag and online issues, but haven't experienced that yet. I am having trouble connecting to my Amazon Prime account, but have the same issue on other consoles.

  • Retr0_ADHD ゴゴRetr0PCSゴゴ (@Retr0_ADHD) reported

    @iStirManyPots @_Stratilex @TerryTheBuneary And it's ironic you call me spoiled and entitled when you deadass ignore genuine problems with the Switch, and maybe Nintendo too, and the first thing that comes out of your mouth is to either find a way to replace it or just sugarcoat the problem completely

  • Bababooie455 Sean A. Wilson (@Bababooie455) reported

    @Its_KnockKnock @CharaFangirl @NintendoAmerica Stop projecting your fatherless issues onto other people.

  • sssammy2001 Samantha (@sssammy2001) reported

    @LiekexNL @TheMeme31750002 @FallGuysGame It happened to me too. I’ve solved the problem!! You have to create a new Nintendo switch account and whenever you choose who to start the app with, create a new one there too! Then it should work and you log into your new Nintendo switch account. Then it works!

  • patricknotirl patrick (@patricknotirl) reported

    nintendo wii broken

  • shivinEA shivin (@shivinEA) reported

    Really wanted to try and play fall guys again since it's on switch, but even with connecting my epic game acct to Nintendo they just **** you there's a problem no explanation besides that

  • GimpHandJeffT Jeff T. (@GimpHandJeffT) reported

    @Nintend49982591 @JuiceMan_V Problem is that many of his criticisms of Nintendo extend to Microsoft and Sony and he doesn’t give equal time. Game Pass is anti-consumer because it’s leading us into a digital future. Sony charges for first-party next-gen upgrades. List goes on.

  • OTDletsgobflo TryHard202 (@OTDletsgobflo) reported

    @UbisoftSupport It's a nintendo switch error but the error code was 2110-2003

  • JemsArt Jems the Takohog (@JemsArt) reported

    @JonHikariZX @King_Of_Bunnies Seizure glitches happened on actual Nintendo Switch consoles, not emulation. It was the T-pose glitch that happened on an emulator. (And even then it got replicated on hardware after that)

  • J4k3_M Jake Markus (@J4k3_M) reported

    @VGBC_GimR Nintendo needs to fix their online servers for their next console -Samus Player

  • switchfox_E Switchfoxe (@switchfox_E) reported

    @alan_blaze @AaronLFC0 Am also in the UK. I think you can send them back to nintendo and if out of warranty (1year) you will have to pay for it. If under warranty they will do for free. I had one done for a different issue to you and was free took 5days total but mine was under warranty still 👍🏻

  • HylianWeeb25 Rufus (@HylianWeeb25) reported

    SO MUCH FOR REPAIRING MY SWITCH NINTENDO!! STILL RECEIVING ERROR OCCURS!! 😪

  • OTDletsgobflo TryHard202 (@OTDletsgobflo) reported

    @UbisoftSupport Well, I was playing the nintendo switch version.. the game proceeded to crash, when I logged back on everyone but one player was gone, but the blue team was still scoring points.

  • ottersarecoolaf Rougesome (@ottersarecoolaf) reported

    @RedTeamSucksM8 @king_goomba @Atlus_West money money money sales sales thats all you drones have going for you but the nintendo community everywhere is walking on eggshells because theres so many problems, drift, lawsuits, horrible preformance, unfinished games unoptimized games shovelware no basic features no good nso

  • soulofcindr turtle pope (@soulofcindr) reported

    I can't believe Nintendo went and created a SI-OC fix-it fanfic to their own story

  • Gx3RComics 🦈 Cousin Shark! | commissions open! (@Gx3RComics) reported

    @SuperBrankman I would say you can use Nintendo, they apparently do a pretty good job and what not but I think it's like $125 for the job and they won't save your data. So unless you got their cloud service to back up saves...

  • YOG3NSHA Yogensha (@YOG3NSHA) reported

    @EyedJeff That is a service issue, not Nintendo telling devs what they are allowed to create, totally different problem. I'd rather take a company that's a bit "behind the times" but in return doesn't censor things, than a modern one with restrictive content policies.

  • benwilliams996 Ben Williams (@benwilliams996) reported

    @ME313X @pickett_shaun Maybe get a new charger for the Nintendo switch lite to see if that’s the problem

  • CarNage64 LzH | CarNage64 (@CarNage64) reported

    @Katzman79 XD well it cant be easy to program a game for sure lets hope they get to fix the bugs and such and sega doesnt go down the nintendo road

  • RedTeamSucksM8 Blu Sniper (@RedTeamSucksM8) reported

    @ottersarecoolaf @king_goomba @Atlus_West 1 game was limited, 3d all stars you can still easily find in stores NSO apps have everything people have really been asking for besides smrpg which isn't even nintendo's fault. No refund is a problem but just use Google and see if you want the game or not

  • autumn_nat Natalie🍂 (@autumn_nat) reported

    Is there a Nintendo customer service?? How do I contact themmm😭😭

  • Retr0_ADHD ゴゴRetr0PCSゴゴ (@Retr0_ADHD) reported

    @iStirManyPots @_Stratilex @TerryTheBuneary And even some of Nintendo's older ****, EVEN THE ******* HANDHELD DSi AND 3DS hasn't had this problem up until specifically the Switch, if you wanna go ahead and insult me for daring to go against Nintendo's BS, then go ahead lmfao
