    @OfficialPLT #NewYearWithPLT I know I don't have any chance of winning this @OfficialPLT & too embarrassed to tell you my problem that I feel such a sad unemployed grandfather who couldn't even give a PS5 & a Nintendo Switch for Christmas to my grandkids!!

  • FB_Productions7 FB-Productions (@FB_Productions7) reported

    @babano22 @OatmealDome Budget was never an issue for NLG before as far as I know. It shouldn’t have been anyways. What I am on about here is how this acquisition should (logically) give Nintendo more control over what can and cannot be done. Meaning less creative freedom for NLG. Less choice. More bad.

  • ChemicalBitter Alex 'Kaz :D!' @ KazSessions 4? (@ChemicalBitter) reported

    Be gay is a trouble when you are not in the trend, not a stereotype or not having money or not being handsome. Also is terrible when gets trended in a gaming scene ANY ONE PLAYS VALORANT? LEAGUE OF LEGEND? CALL IF DUTY? ANY **** FROM NINTENDO? **** off.

    One problem with auto-correct is that you always end up posting some thong you didn’t Nintendo. Yep...... I’m here all week. 😜😜

    @NintendoAmerica fix your garbage servers that people pay for

  • sonicpulsar Sonicpulsar #Hyrulewarriors #ImmortalsFenyxRising (@sonicpulsar) reported

    @minishpip For sure, I’m gonna need to send for the second or third time joy-cons for repairing. I love Nintendo, but this issue sucks.

  • alexevans91 Dr Alex Evans (@alexevans91) reported

    @GeneticJen @NintendoUK any updates on this issue?

  • DexterFret Dexter Fret (@DexterFret) reported

    @NintendoAmerica Is the removing of dsi games from the eshop an official action or was it in error? #Nintendo @Nintendo

  • kielycyrus kielo ren (@kielycyrus) reported

    **** mario and **** his little racing karts. as soon as i'm flying it's like i already lost. why would you even make it an option to crash your little hangliding thingy. i'm going to sue mr. nintendo

  • WaferMouse Wafer the Cat (@WaferMouse) reported

    Insider scoop: Nintendo is working on an entirely new franchise. The main characters are two British siblings who ostensibly work in the service industry, but spend most of their time hacking ROMs. It's called Super Wafer Siblings.

  • HellmannTim Tim H. (@HellmannTim) reported

    @PlaytonicGames Well. You could ask Nintendo if you could create a Spyro / Crash style remake. But please add a QoL feature to switch between Kongs via button press. 👀

  • SweetLew_ ♡ CALD | Οlινια ♡ (@SweetLew_) reported

    I’m so pissed that smash has the ******* audacity to say i ran out of room to save my matches...I had 2 strong matches against Sharpedo and the game was like “nope cant save the matches sorry” FIX THIS **** NINTENDO 😤

  • Wellhel67589477 Rad (@Wellhel67589477) reported

    @VideoGamerMarx @Nintendo Nintendo doesn't have any problems with violence now hope they can make them now

  • AtomicExodust 🧛🏽₩Ɽ₳₮Ⱨ☠ (@AtomicExodust) reported

    @ShaunMusgrave Yeah Nintendo tends to have an issue of videogame droughts for obvious reasons and having Rare could have helped in that department. Then again rare doesn't release many games themselves these days but who knows how management would have been like if it was nintendo instead of MS

  • snowwy_123 Cameron Jago Lis (@snowwy_123) reported

    CLEARLY FANTASTIC support by @NintendoUK ... absolutely useless and sending me in circles over the course of two months with no end in sight. Will keep this thread updated for a record of how **** Nintendo's customer service is.

  • padraig07 padraig hough (@padraig07) reported

    @SmythsToysIRE Hi I need help. My parents bought my daughter a nintendo switch for Christmas from Smyths. It's broken out of the box stuck on the setup screen. They don't have the receipt. Can't I still swap for a working one please?

  • Tgollum Gregory Thomson (@Tgollum) reported

    @ChitownHawkeye @MackayIM Don't have a clue Nintendo anything. Every country has it's issues. What @MackayIM I wonder maybe is concerned about is a global issue. The arrogant nations with whatever religion or culture just deny what is ancient history, repeating defiance.

  • HellmannTim Tim H. (@HellmannTim) reported

    @PlaytonicGames Well. You may ask Nintendo if you could create a Spyro / Crash style remake. But please add a QoL feature to switch between Kongs via button press. 👀

  • ajwbyy Aj (@ajwbyy) reported

    @NintendoUK I keep getting error code 2005-0003 I have tried everything! I am now currently putting all the games back onto my switch system. I want all my games hence the micro SD. Pls help and why isn’t this working 😫😭

  • brocaddy Bro (@brocaddy) reported from North Muskham, England

    So had to send my boys @NintendoUK switch away for repair as it was connecting to the TV. Now into 6 weeks of being away even though 3 weeks ago I had to pay £52 for the repair which I was told was excepted and was being repaired. Very very poor service!

  • Spacemanqb Chalky (@Spacemanqb) reported

    @ArsElectroniken I'm only at level 9 or so. I just assumed you could squad up in multiplayer but I guess you never know with Nintendo's weird online service!

  • glittermarth ⚔HEROLION_SSBU⚔ (@glittermarth) reported

    I'm trying to figure out why Chrom is an issue.Everyone is forgetting how well Awakening sold in the US. Nintendo had to represent that milestone somehow. Lucina I cannot understand. She has the critical bar from the GBA era..Why? #NintendoSwitch #FireEmblem

  • Del5506 Del (@Del5506) reported

    @AmongUsGame @5D_Waifu Is among us going to have a chat service with Nintendo? Its really hard to type in chat with a controller
