Is there a server glitch where you only get items that are currently in your shop or that a villager gives you while shaking trees? I’ve noticed that I literally only get the same items I’ve gotten since my reset. #ACNH #Nintendo

@JohnyTwoTimes13 @MrKrisSteel Preach. No one had an issue before and never see them complain about dropping $60-70 on a Nintendo game, some collector statue or their 25th controller. I call it Game Pass Syndrome.

@borbdead @NintendoAmerica Well, if both ends have good connection you won't have this issue. You're not paying $60 for online alone, but rather the game and it's side-mode. Might I emphasize, side-mode. Not a full on game. You do you though.

@Argos_Online hello, I bought my daughter a Nintendo switch lite last week and every so often when she loads games it's giving her errors which makes us uninstall the game and have to reinstall again.

@ShadowPropa @Akfamilyhome Even if it's a side feature, this kind of lag should not be in a released game. ESPECIALLY from a company as big as Nintendo.

@exo_tyler @NintendoAmerica You haven't taken damage from the massive flame blasts or falling debris while in the open and not under cover 🤔 Sounds legit. Also I had no frame issues. Must be a "new Switch" problem because I have an original model.

@Zari_Wari I just wish that Nintendo actually bothered to fix their joycon issue, then I would actually consider buying one. I am not about to roll the dice with my own money on that one, at least Microsoft actually acknowledged the RRoD issues and fixed them under their own pocket.

@_kairy_draws_ I haven't been looking at Logan, but last I remember he was getting kicked down by YouTube and trying to fix his videos while making worse than usual content and now Nintendo's after him, I know he makes offensive videos but I just feel like he needs to take a break from youtube.

I wish the shines were a bit less repetitive, and I wish that it didn't run at 30fps in handheld mode. The latter is my biggest issue with the game. Hopefully Nintendo makes a Switch Pro soon so the hardware can start being able to actually handle the games

@Thelostzelda @ApeFallout @Xbox Not to get technical but Nintendo started by making baseball cards. They didn't make the leap to games until almost 100 years later when they saw an opening from the crash in the market.

@csijo @DesignsHeroic @curryspcworld Similar happened to us last week - order (not Nintendo) 'failed' at warehouse, not informed of this until we chased it up though and money was taken for the purchase. Currys customer service abysmal.

@PlayerEssence It depends on the way Sony responds to this issue. If they go about it like Nintendo have then they will deserve to be raked across the coals.

@ArthurPump @Akfamilyhome Yeah but barely any games used it, and even when it did, it only existed to solve an arbitrary problem that nintendo created to yeah there's a reason why it was pretty much worthless

@repulsivetwt @HandheldGaming1 @NintendoAmerica Who tf is gonna buy a ps3 in 2021? They are worthless. It’s pretty rare and you think you can just buy a ps4/ps5 without any trouble? It’s not that easy

Bowsers fury comes out today and I woke up expecting my pre order to be in the post, but instead I wake up to an email from @nintendo saying there was a problem with the payment details, so I'm getting it tomorrow instead of today now! Sadge

@ShadowPropa @ActualIWANT94 @Akfamilyhome It’s not just online but if they offer online features you should be able to play online features, it’s entirely possible and Nintendo refuses to fix it

@Lewchube The amount of people in this thread defending a corporation that has been sued once, going on TWICE, over this issue is embarrassing. Nintendo makes fun stuff but they don't give a **** about you as a person. Stop defending corporations who do shitty things.

@MojangSupport Minecraft on the Nintendo Switch will no longer load. Sometimes it takes up to 10 minutes loading and then it displays and error that says “the software was closed because an error occurred”. Minecraft is unplayable on the @Nintendo Switch. Please help.

@ropiemasta I have rebuilt the nes a few times, only Nintendo product I sincerely hate to repair is n64 which is incredibly hard to work on because the board has extensive issues... I wouldn't recommend working on it for newer people, even pros have issues

I still see people pointing to Nintendo's server system as the cause of lag. It's so frustrating to see misinformation spread.

@AboutNintendo And this is why people don’t take others seriously when they have criticisms of Nintendo, serious or not. When you decide to randomly make up issues like this, it detracts from any real points one might have

@Sgt_Shitpost @z0ne_k7u6_1135 @DKing312 ikr, the only problem i have had with any Nintendo controller was with my nun chucks, that problem was caused by me as a child and is in no way anyones fault but my own

@Sheikah_Clan64 That is pretty understandable. You should probably send in the joycon to nintendo at some point or try to fix them yourself.
