  • LeeseFishing Chris (@LeeseFishing) reported

    @NintendoAmerica umm.. 2 copies of acnh and an overpriced family membership to switch online plus expansion pack. Still getting error saying that I need to purchase downloadable content. Your greed has broken this game.

  • _Chanley_ Chanley (@_Chanley_) reported

    @NintendoAmerica my save data corrupted and your customer service did nothing about it

  • HackemSackem uma🐴- belajar bahasa jepun (@HackemSackem) reported

    Well 3 boxes of business card is a lot so I used one of my card to fix my nintendo switch drift At least that card had some use

  • Locke_PSB Bruce-atron (@Locke_PSB) reported

    @NintendoAmerica I hope you fix switch online.

  • Gelgumi ☆【 Gumi 】☆ - 🎂 tommorow 🎂 (@Gelgumi) reported

    @DynamoSuperX @Groundrunner100 @Epic_Kevster Tbh i feel if the crash wasn't saved by Nintendo it would've been by someone else Videogames were doing just fine anywhere else so it was up to time for it to make a resurgense, most likely Sega considering it was the winning console in Europe compared to the NES

  • jsc_choo jsc choo (@jsc_choo) reported

    @SpawnWaveMedia please help me look into nintendo oled wifi issues, wifi just died now can only connect with wired, nintendo rep said is not cover under warranty wtf!?

  • Haley_X0X0 Haley (@Haley_X0X0) reported

    @Acripplednan @ShiinaBR @EpicGamesData Looks like that's a Nintendo issue. There's a reason Mario games aren't played on other platforms. Nintendo doesn't like to share. They want all that $$$$ for themselves

  • EpicSpheal Blue Oak's #1 Fan (@EpicSpheal) reported

    @musicalwinder The issue is that she puts an everstone on the haunter so it won't become a Gengar. Which sucks if you're someone who doesn't have access to Nintendo Online. Or if you don't have IRLs to trade with. It ends up being kind of a cruel thing that not everyone has a workaround

  • TheMaractusMan Blubble (@TheMaractusMan) reported

    @ClouderSavage @NintendoAmerica He didn’t say the same thing about licensing in smash. And besides, in smash 4 we literally already had a cut character due to licensing issues As for Sakurai being involved with the next smash… well who knows on that one

  • ToastieLabs ToastieLabs (@ToastieLabs) reported

    @Peachtree_5 @McF00tie @toxic2204 This is a bug that got brought to our attention yesterday, we managed to fix it today and have sent a patch off to Nintendo - it will take a few working days for Nintendo to process but once it's out, it will fix the bug for you to complete these levels! Thanks for playing!

  • MaskedRoxyPSI DarceyMew (@MaskedRoxyPSI) reported

    @boloneis Then that’s an account problem. You gotta log in on the switch onto the Nintendo account you used everything for last time. If it doesn’t work log out and log back in and see what happens

  • CABEZILLA142DXD Cabezilla - #FireBobbyKotick #ActiBlizzWalkout (@CABEZILLA142DXD) reported

    @Vet_infin Like, if Micro would buy Nintendo right now I think that would be great, Nintendo working on better hardware and all that stuff would be amazing, but back in the day It would have carried a lot of problems in the long term for the industry.

  • AndresdJose Jose A. Dominguez (@AndresdJose) reported

    @NintendoAmerica still no word on where my joy cons are and it's a month now.Any idea of when will I get them? Every time I call customer service I get a different response.... This has been an awful experience and I can't use my switch!

  • CABEZILLA142DXD Cabezilla - #FireBobbyKotick #ActiBlizzWalkout (@CABEZILLA142DXD) reported

    @Vet_infin Alright, there are a lot of factors to have in mind here. If Micro buyed Nintendo back in the day I think they would have destroyed Playstation 2, but then there is the monopoly problem and remember, Xbox is only good now thanks to the PS4 competition.

  • mcoorlim mcoorlim (@mcoorlim) reported

    @theWellRedMage In post-war Japan, American companies Service Games (SeGa) and Rosen Enterprises merged to create Sega, throwing up arcades and making new games instead of just importing old ones from the US. Video games would still exist, but Nintendo wouldn't enter the market until much later

  • StarBruneArcie 🏳️‍⚧️Lil Arcie🏳️‍⚧️ (@StarBruneArcie) reported

    @DevilHunter73 @bullexto1 Without Nintendo getting NA out the market crash in '83 all these ****** basically wouldnt exist

  • ProGambitYT Last Gambit #ThankYouScottCawthon (@ProGambitYT) reported

    I'm just gonna ask for evidence on any of that in thread, Nintendo really influenced platformers, game companies having masocts, Nintendo=Mario, Sega=Sonic, Sony=Crash etc, not to mention that you're actively ignoring for some reason Mario 64

  • ClintonSelah Clinton Selah (@ClintonSelah) reported

    @RockstarGames I don't play Grand Theft Auto online. how about fix my Nintendo switch version....

  • NintendoShame Nintendo Shame (@NintendoShame) reported

    It's been 127 days since the last game was added to the Nintendo Switch Online service

  • CanonRebel66 𝙲𝚞𝚛𝚜𝚎𝚍 𝙿𝚛𝚒𝚗𝚌𝚎 👹 (@CanonRebel66) reported

    @Pokemon @Nintendo I guess the official stance “against hacking” is just lip service. For a successful brand/company, the thirst to allow everything and anything for extra involvement/views is disheartening for the people who actually put effort in.

  • mark92031655 mark (@mark92031655) reported

    @NintendoUK Hi I’ve been trying to return an order for a week but your customer service email is non existent! Could you please help?

  • Macklock95 Mack 🐾 (@Macklock95) reported

    @MashArt_ST make sure Nintendo doesn't bring down your account for copyright issues u:

  • H4ppyd4yss Sun (@H4ppyd4yss) reported

    @FieryDarkstar @nintyfan1991 @DynamoSuperX Not a big healthy market anywhere really, and PC was small and could’ve remained so without a push from Nintendo in the future, or eventually crashed itself as a chain from the console crash. The crash could’ve been a downward spiral that affected other areas in due time.

  • nicomon7 Grovy Sparky (@nicomon7) reported

    @Rufin29677866 @Epic_Kevster Good Platformers are many outside Nintendo... Crash, Spyro, Ratchet & Clank, and Indies... If you are progresist or just have problems with indies and/or Sony, it's not my problem

  • Acripplednan acripplednan69 (@Acripplednan) reported

    @Haley_X0X0 @ShiinaBR @EpicGamesData No, that’s not how it works, Nintendo dosnt need consent as it’s not their game, it’s an issue on BHVR’s end with the servers
