    @NintendoAmerica @NintendoCoLtd I love ya but your online servers need serious work. There’s no reason why lag and just joining a game should be this bad in 2021. Maybe take some pointers from @Xbox ?

  • djpos2 Dj Pos2!! (@djpos2) reported

    @LinzMarie3 So like if i brought in my broken down cassette player, is that worth half a lap dance?? Can i tip in Nintendo games ??

  • sully_iqbal Sully Iqbal (@sully_iqbal) reported

    My issue with #Nintendo adverts is the people are having fun but they’re lacking an edge. Where’s the anger and frustration that comes from your boy hitting you with a blue shell right before the finish line? That’s real!

    @NintendoAmerica NINTENDO I WANT $520 BECAUSE THAT'S HOW MUCH I HAD TO PAY FOR THE MULTIPLE JOYCONS THAT I BOUGHT AND THEY HAVE ALL STARTED DRIFTING. YOU ARE SELLING FAULTY PRODUCTS AND HAVEN'T FIXED THE PROBLEM

  • JakDarkEco Aziz ⭐️ (@JakDarkEco) reported

    @AEGRO_84 Some people choose to not understand the different of business strategies between the 3 consoles. Sony is the hub for gaming, counting on sales from 1st and 3rd party games. Xbox is betting on gaming as a service, which goes for subscription for continuous payment. Nintendo goes-

    @DianeHeartbeat @NintendoAmerica just fix them yourself

  • DDanger12345 D(aniel).Danger (@DDanger12345) reported

    @MarshArcana @Mishunz_Aiden then again I saw issues with killing cause I remember a friend of mine whos a kickass with bayo (Snipez), he gave a robin 258% and loses all of his stocks, I hope Nintendo neuters both of them next patch.

  • freshbakedsnake lottie ☀️ (@freshbakedsnake) reported

    😔 im a nintendo person 100% and think they make the funnest games but i am so sick of the switch having so many problems all the time

  • game_owi 게오위임⭐️스포있음 (@game_owi) reported

    My Nintendo Switch has a trouble with taking pictures. There's a click and there's a message that says the photo is saved. But there's no capture in the album. I tried turning it off and on(not sleep mode), took out SD cards, and changed the storage space from SD card to switch.

  • whereisaaron whereisaaron (@whereisaaron) reported

    @YaBoyWaka @Ethan57575537 @SonyRewards Calm down. No one said that you don't have problems. Just that we hadn't. Enough with the name calling for sharing our experience just like you did! Nintendo, Sony & Xbox have all been in court over controller issues, so at least some people have had problems.

  • AdamLsEnt AdamTheGameBoy (@AdamLsEnt) reported

    @Mario__119 @NintendoAmerica This is finally a remake that looks like it's fixing ALL the problems with the original

  • keIdimort the candy *****🏳️‍⚧️ (@keIdimort) reported

    @Scoot_SSB Do people like this forget that Nintendo doesn’t ******* own crash

  • Anuj50227967 Anuj (@Anuj50227967) reported

    @GamingDespair @ChupaThangE I really don't know why people would diss a really good service just cuz of the console wars . Being a college student getting a tonne of great games for a few dollars a month is great . I've been a die hard ps and Nintendo fan for years doesn't mean I don't appreciate GP.

  • SWPMelissa ♡︎ 𝕊𝕎ℙ𝕄𝕖𝕝𝕚𝕤𝕤𝕒 ♡︎ (@SWPMelissa) reported

    @Kirbonix Yea. Also crash is PROBABLY NEVER GOING TO BE IN SMASH, so when he likes watches the Nintendo Direct for the final dlc character and it's not crash and he's like: "wtf I didn't want this I wanted crash give me crash Sakurai u ***** poop head"

  • GeromeHerry Gérôme Herry (@GeromeHerry) reported

    @NintendoAmerica Everybody crying because Spyro or Crash or... I don't know who ******** is wanted... Is not here but keep in mind two things: 1- for once it's a real fighter not a swordsman 2- almost all the characters wanted can't be here because, well I don't know, ITS BECAUSE THEY NEED RIGHT

  • TAThorogood Thomas Thorogood, but even gayer (@TAThorogood) reported

    @gnuconsulting In Virginia, many cities are their own independent counties, like the vatican. It's weird. The Nintendo Wii required a county input for CC purchases. I had to call and patiently explain to someone in customer service before I could buy a game.

  • Carbon_Spl2 Carbonx (@Carbon_Spl2) reported

    @DanEBoi_Spl Bruh you could hear the noise, but it didn’t count for points that was bs lol Nintendo really needs to fix that if it’s still a issue for others which I guarantee it will be since I’ve seen it a couple of times where it just shows the all spinning on the basket xD

  • KidCoheed Kid Coheed (@KidCoheed) reported

    I get Nintendo's Issue with putting EVERY Pokémon in every new game even as they've jumped from engine to engine these past like 5 games... But at least make a new Pokémon Stadium so the Competitive scene always has SOMETHING

  • Xenophacilus Xenophacilus (Miitopia code: 33BHP31) (@Xenophacilus) reported

    @TheNCSmaster Why must he be like that? Why is he making every Nintendo, snag, crash, sora fan look bad? Why can't he just stop with the spoiler thumbnai- wait this isn't apart of this conversation.... Uh Why can't he just be respectful?

  • B_R_T_L Rebecca Toro Lopez (@B_R_T_L) reported

    @LazyBearGames @Nintendo I want to play more but it hard with all the bugs and issues. I am sure it because its new in the Switch but still its sads. Do not know where to go to get those issues fixed or to at least report them. 😞

  • AlainChristian Alain-Christian 🇭🇹 (@AlainChristian) reported

    @NintendoMetro The Nintendo Power issue about it picked up the slack though.

  • Kumo_nya Momotan (@Kumo_nya) reported

    I hope Nintendo fix the issue soon. SOON. My screenshot doesn’t seems to save over at my sd card Q-Q

  • Miniarts159 The Boi (@Miniarts159) reported

    @AidenRS139 Oh everyone knew Nintendo had good games The problem was it was literally only Nintendo who had good games

  • gemmafiI 🥝 (@gemmafiI) reported

    wow wtf how did nintendo get away with not promoting having a joycon repair service thats just ****** evil

  • ItsBenjaninja Benjaninja (@ItsBenjaninja) reported

    @SilicatYT Funnily enough, the reason I followed you was because I just wanted to find BotW glitch accounts, so I searched "BotW glitches" and "Nintendo glitches" and found your profile.

  • SnickrDoodleSam TheCrimsonCookie (@SnickrDoodleSam) reported

    @urtakgf *hides all my Nintendo switch purchases* ahah lol look at this loser, imagine having a spending problem 🥲

  • mrpiggmin MrPigg: Get It Together (@mrpiggmin) reported

    @YoungBIoodLink @JW_the_3rd And yet Nintendo fans still eat that **** up. I believe NSMBUDX has broken 10 million copies. You wouldn’t have anything to do with that, would you?

  • RhyJadestorm Rhyvin (@RhyJadestorm) reported

    Mario golf super rush is good... till you realize the draw of the game is only two player unless you do it online. some one needs to teach nintendo how to do multiplayer again #MarioGolfSuperRush #Nintendo please fix for local 4 player
