What I rate of each Nintendo console/hybrid. 1.) Wii 2.) Wii U 3.) DS 4.) 3Ds 5.) Nintendo Switch I'm sorry once the drift started on the Switch I was fine. I mostly played on the TV anyway but once the fan issue came in...starting to dislike the Switch no matter the games.

@Renja_SR As in they rushed the Switch. The Switch Lite even suffers from the same issues of the drift and loud fan. Also the fan looks like they got it from the cheapest place possible. Not hating on Nintendo just hoping there next gen console or hybrid fixes these issues.

@esqueleto1 @ArcadeParts Fix buttons? These are brand new. BTW, I reconditioned a ton of nintendo buttons and Wick joysticks.

So here is what I am gonna do. If Nintendo makes another next gen console and it has fan issues. I don't mind drift issues since I'll just buy a pro controller. I won't be getting anymore Nintendo consoles/hybrids if it has fan issues because the Switch gen has too many issues.

@_justadoggo @WalmartCAGaming I kinda stopped after loosing all my saves and having to send it in for them to fix it. After playing through BotW and other games that took a while. No thanks. And this from a Nintendo fanboy who’s been buying all their stuff. Either.. later

@FUNimation @NintendoAmerica But wait?! Will this new update be stable and crash less than the one on the PS4?

Seriously @NintendoAmerica? You're not going to fix my Joy Cons because they're out of warranty even though the issue is a known issue that has been happening forever that you didn't acknowledged until after our system was out of warranty? Wtf.

@superlunalaasgv needing nitendo online shouldnt been an issue if you spend 20$ for a year as it covers more then just pokemon of course what nintendo game had free expansion dlc. botw had dlc to pay for late game stuff and modes. the pokemon bank and home it is just 10 dollars a month

@roebruh @ManTimeline @ScrubQuotesX I was in fact making a joke about the acronym, and how often people do a double-take when looking at "SBMM" and mistake it for "SSBM". ...well, that, and the recent issues with online Melee options being shunned by Nintendo.

@NintendoUK Curry’s purley way Croydon have refused to fix my sons Nintendo lite. They have had it for repair since July stashed in a cupboard. They lied that they have sent it to you and done nothing with it siting cosmetic damage. This is the second repair to it. Blank screen

@NXRazzalyn I hope they go back to consoles. The Switch is a good idea but has too many issues. Fan issues, drift, errors or Nintendo just sending out broken consoles.

We also received a number of messages saying that there were problems with the download of Arkanoid vs Space Invaders for our European Nintendo Switch customers. Starting today, this has been solved for all customers who'll purchase the game digitally on Switch. (3/4)

@NintendoUK I would like to pay online for my switch to be repaired, but it keeps coming up with an error message saying ‘no payment method available’ can anyone help?

@StormLegend37 @glovetrain @DMC_Ryan No Man's Sky was partly financed by Sony because looked promising...and Sony paid for console exclusiveness of that game. The problem is that certifications are ridiculously not rigid. The only thing Sony, Nintendo and Microsoft should do is to block titles which are 1/2

@CaveGameAlex Yeah personally I would be willing to pay more per month for better connection and for Nintendo hosted servers instead of pier to pier connection for some of the bigger games like SSBU. I feel like that is the main enhancement that should be done to the service.

@Alon33727750 @antdude92 Crash 4 isn't an indie game, so it can't be shown there, but it might be shown in a Nintendo Direct in the future at some point!

@yaboyNinja i was gonna say, Crash, Eggman and Doomguy would make for a *very* strong final 3. But I think we'll get at least one more Nintendo character. Part of me also hopes we'll get another girl, because Ultimate has been pretty crap in terms of girl charas.

@primarinite Depending on the problem Nintendo will replace them for free, they replaced both pairs of my Joycon for free because they were drifting

So all of a sudden, my brother's switch decided it no longer wanted to play sound? And somehow this is a problem you can't really fix unless you send it back to Nintendo?? And sometimes even they can't fix it???

@NintendoUK my charger for my Switch randomly stopped working. What can cause this and how can I resolve this issue? I don't use any 3rd party products with my switch so it can't have been damaged from 3rd party products.

@NintendoAmerica I'm just gonna start something. #fixyourconsolenintendo. The Wii U I had since release so 2012 to 2017. My Switch lasted 3 years and 9 months and out of nowhere fan issues. Was the Wii U actually made better then even tho it was marketed badly.

@FUNimation @NintendoAmerica I wonder if this app is going to have the well known issues that the other oher versions had. Example sometimes the app will tell me that I can't watch an anime cause a don't have premium even though I do.
