  • squirep Dave Patterson (@squirep) reported

    @CurrysServices we bought a £50 Nintendo Eshop voucher for our sons Christmas present. It wasn't activated by Currys (which Currys acknowledge). Your customer service say tough. You're breaking consumer law by not replacing or refunding and don't seem to care. Why?

  • patricknotirl patrick (@patricknotirl) reported

    nintendo wii broken

  • daboom123 Penny Dale (@daboom123) reported

    @Kaothekangaroo When will fix be issued for Switch. I have tried to get a refund but Nintendo say they don’t refund downloads. I now have an unplayable game - unless I want to play the same level over and over again.

  • The_NgRO Jose Escamilla (@The_NgRO) reported

    @mjlawrence27 @NintendoAmerica Noup, Same error :(

  • Nycewithit1 NYCE WID !T🇭🇹 (@Nycewithit1) reported

    @thePretzelJones What the problem with a gimmick Nintendo wii was a gimmick but Nintendo is numba 1?

  • Chase_247_ Chαsε247 (@Chase_247_) reported

    @OctoSquid_503 @PownicMania5000 The issue with a lot of these Nintendo games is that they're not consistent. Animal Crossing got an update like every 3-5 months, when it needed stuff like bi-monthly. Switch Sports won't be getting any sports added until fall, and it's already been out for over a month

  • pegasusknighted 💕‎ SUMIE .ᐟ 🕊️ (@pegasusknighted) reported

    @arithebunnie415 i do remember connecting it to my nintendo acc but when i try to login with it, it prompts me to make a new summoner :( i miight try one more email though and see if that's it

  • PownicMania5000 PownicMania (@PownicMania5000) reported

    @Reecee_yt Dude I really don't think it's because he's critical of Nintendo. In fact most people I see usually/somewhat agree with him with the fre update model The problem is how he presents himself. It can really come off as overreacting and whiney which really won't pull anyone

  • dazzflix153 Dazzflix (@dazzflix153) reported from Dudley, England

    @Bishop42998267 @RonaldSDean Of course if it's not broke don't fix it. Milk away Nintendo.

  • Medbal2989 ༒廾ƛƜƘꌚƜƠƠƤƛ༒ (@Medbal2989) reported

    @PlaySnowRunner Can you publicly address the Nintendo switch issue as well? Going forward I will refrain from purchasing anything on the Nintendo store specifically because saber ignores the switch issues and it's back burner place in line

  • WaywardDragoon Sky Piyo (@WaywardDragoon) reported

    @NintendoAmerica The website crash into insta “sold-out” aaw yess

  • mjlawrence27 Mike Lawrence (@mjlawrence27) reported

    @The_NgRO @NintendoAmerica I had that issue a while ago, fixed it by deleting all my credit cards/addresses on file and putting them in from scratch

  • Kidmystic915 mystic 🏳️‍🌈🏳️‍⚧️✊🏼👏🏼 (@Kidmystic915) reported

    @TheDistantCoder Mobile connection issues, the number of times my phone or tablet have crashed mid game or have lagged me out of a match is unbelievable, I have better connection on Nintendo online then on MD on mobile!

  • touma_27 touma - Xenoblade 3 Mio fan (@touma_27) reported

    @TruenoGuy86 @NintendoUK Probably issues getting enough

  • Dave19Brown83 David Brown (@Dave19Brown83) reported

    @mehehhhmeh @NintendoAmerica Nintendo said a long time ago that they're not competing with these two companies. No Direct no problem.

  • oscarisbestboi oscarisbestboi (@oscarisbestboi) reported

    @Salventolf @imL8v3 @NintendoAmerica You wanna talk your “arguments”? Okay let’s go bucko. Outside of Adam Howden, 1’s VA is often stilted as hell, with a shocking ream of lines being delivered always downward tonalally. The game also has PS1 era line spacing issues that aren’t helped by some of the grossest subs

  • SuperGameJoy SuperGameJoy (@SuperGameJoy) reported

    @LinkToo @NintendoAmerica Only collectors can stop resellers. Pay no more than MSRP. Problem solved

  • Yahya_no_1 Yahya Osama yahya (@Yahya_no_1) reported

    @OXIagain @ModernVintageG Your issue of prison harm & mistreatment of ppl in jail falls with the country not Nintendo

  • eramalie ER (@eramalie) reported

    @souldiersgame On Nintendo switch sucks loading time, error in the middle of the game, error when saving the game. Never in my life that I regretted so much buying this game

  • SoldierDelta SoldierDelta (@SoldierDelta) reported

    @Pix1001 @NintendoUK @NintendoAmerica I imagine it's for distribution reasons. NoUK must be having issues getting their hands on Special Editions, or they're manufacturing them later.

  • icyxzavien icy (@icyxzavien) reported

    @SomeKirbyFan It had the opposite problem I have with Nintendo Direct at times where they showed so little of each thing.

  • Zephyr__Falcon Zephyr 🏳️‍🌈 | Lechonk Supremacy (@Zephyr__Falcon) reported

    @AndersJesper It's dumb. It always feels like the UK is always such an afterthought. And Ive almost always had issues when ordering through the my Nintendo store with the exception of SMT V.

  • horsebox98 liam liam liam (@horsebox98) reported

    @NinBendo @Kuraudo1996 @NintendoUK My problem is that pre orders for the CE open in late July, but the game comes out in late July. Can't they gave a better date like tf?

  • Salventolf Qotsage (@Salventolf) reported

    @oscarisbestboi @imL8v3 @NintendoAmerica You're saying XC1 VA has problems, I never said it didn't, I said it was better than 2, so I don't get what your point is. More interesting level design is irrelavent, it's not the reason the navigation is ****.

  • dixhelen Lady Pensioner (@dixhelen) reported

    @NintendoUK I would but NONE of my cards will work on the site. Had same problem with the Nintendo eshop and had to make a PayPal account to get round it. No options for paying by PayPal come up. Help please!!!

  • Pyra_irl Pyra Disliker (@Pyra_irl) reported

    @Shawn_R_Beachy @NintendoAmerica No, the game and the special edition ship separately. The game will arrive at launch, the special edition later. It'll also depend on your postal service.

  • JDonahue79 James Donahue (@JDonahue79) reported

    @DoctorDenise @Wario64 The problem is Nintendo is shutting down the eshop on the Wii U and the 3DS. Nintendo needs to think about carrying over the eshop games like Sony and Microsoft did to last gen games and carrying the games over to current gen systems. Now the PS3…I think they should do the same

  • nordlys88 nordlys (@nordlys88) reported

    @Kyruto64 @NintendoUK I doubt that they have much control over the postal service across borders, but the game will be sent separately for release while the CE items will be sent in fall. The game box is probably just a regular one, being sent to physical stores on release as well.

  • trepeserafin Employed Trepe Serafin (@trepeserafin) reported

    Not sure why people are so excited about IGN's confirmation of an early build. Sonic Team could turn Sonic brown and make the game run at 16fps and call it a "final build." Also Nintendo's early build has no visible issue in their trailers.

  • mudron Bill Mudron (@mudron) reported

    I guess we'll find out which way the wind is blowing if this terrible 1-2 Switch sequel gets unceremoniously dumped onto the already-hot mess that is the Nintendo Switch Online service.
