  • LChrystyle 💎Lil' Miss Chrystyle💎 (@LChrystyle) reported

    @vjw2005 @Rennygamergirl There's no problem if you find her boring but saying that she shouldn't exist is kinda too much. It's not her fault that fans get rock hard ****** over her and what Nintendo decides to do with her.

  • LuisRiv30532422 Luis Rivera (@LuisRiv30532422) reported

    @FortniteGame @CHONKIEFTUTZ Fix Nintendo Switch servers pls

  • amitywlw max, a gay bitch ❄️ (@amitywlw) reported

    DID NINTENDO REALLY MAKE AND SELL A FIX IT AU FANFIC AS A GAME??? 😭 /POS

  • Carnyzzle Carnyzzle (@Carnyzzle) reported

    @luckeydevil @Alpharad You see the problem with that is that Nintendo doesn't MAKE it so that we can even buy these games if we ******* wanted to. I would love to legally play old arcade ports like nes galaga but that's still not on the switch virtual console

  • Mendinso Just Your Local Gay Bara Furry Supporting #BLM (@Mendinso) reported

    @SquirtleSquad7 The fact we're this many years in, and Nintendo has made no efforts to fix this drift problem, when we've even had users get new joycons within a couple weeks, and experience the drift again, is not okay. People have a right to complain about it.

  • hakureistar456 hakureistar (@hakureistar456) reported

    nintendo really automatically renewed my switch online service out of nowhere haha

  • gr3yf3ath3r Iswyrm (@gr3yf3ath3r) reported

    @FrancescoDonald @andrethebestbro Indeed the Atari crash have near killed the western presence into consolle market, until Microsoft contested the market with the Xbox in early 2000; but another factor is the home computers were a lot cheaper than whatever Nintendo tried to sell at time.

  • cleveru16605923 pelican food | maclunkey (@cleveru16605923) reported

    @Stealth40k what I hope to see happen (but probably won't end up happening) is a revamp of the classic games service for NSO to launch alongside the Switch Pro (not exclusive to it, though) just get a bunch of Nintendo games from all their consoles and shove them onto NSO

  • WilliamCail1 William Cail (@WilliamCail1) reported

    @Catsupy_Art @zangotang Well you didn't get a license to sell Nintendo merch. So yeah you get in trouble.

  • DrPapaphilips Dr.Papaphilips🇬🇷 | SPG (@DrPapaphilips) reported

    @NintendoAmerica you ******* fix the online in smash you ruined the match mimakos vs deno in crew battle

  • geoffreycrofte Geoffrey Crofte 🔥 (@geoffreycrofte) reported

    Note: Sony kills me with these ******* updates. I don't have the issue with Nintendo Switch, or they are dealing with updates way more efficiently 😜

  • Wyvern530 Wyvern (@Wyvern530) reported

    @Xylofunk I see your point. I didn't know that it existed from the beginning. By any chance specification is a possibility. Tentatively, I will contact Nintendo later. I'm gonna contact you again if Nintendo reply to me. Please contact me or everyone by Twitter if you find another glitch.

  • daveMunkiwho AtomiRERUNS (@daveMunkiwho) reported

    @TechnoInniter But that's the problem! Nintendo never asked for the new car. It does not seem fair I will say that. But it can have negative effects we don't see. Maybe Nintendo wants full Monopoly over their games? Either way, it's their toy that they let us borrow.

  • XhaoticBlitz ☯ ~ Bun of Chaos ~ ☯ (@XhaoticBlitz) reported

    @botaniccal ...🤔🤔🤔 Mmmm, too bad about the Dreams dude, but not only was Nintendo within their rights on the issue (literally everyone including the creator themselves agrees on that) they only said stop using/sharing it. Slap on the wrist, they still have their personal creation.

  • HalleWeen2012 Me (@HalleWeen2012) reported

    @NintendoUK seem to be having a problem with my switch the controls drift to other parts of the device and select other things than what i wanted

  • HawkHollywood stephen (@HawkHollywood) reported

    @TheYearIs20BC Nintendo will then send the moon a C&D. Problem?

  • fire_phoenix242 Fire chap (@fire_phoenix242) reported

    @service_gamer @Sergeant16bit @SSF1991 And Nintendo completely deletes anyone who does anything they don’t like, refuses to fix joycon drift, and puts arbitrary limits on glorified emulators to make more money.

  • redrichie Emergent Bangers (@redrichie) reported from Glasgow, Scotland

    @brechtbeat That's the other problem. I'm having fun with Horizon: Zero Dawn atm, but it's feeling a bit of a time sink. I'm not into that as much, unless Nintendo made it.

  • Tepigcano Ben the Tepig (@Tepigcano) reported

    @MojangSupport I’m having issues with connecting my XBox account to Minecraft on my Nintendo Switch (the newer version). I type the code displayed on my Switch into the website link then I sign in. After I close the sign in window, I’m still asked to sign in.

    @NintendoAmerica Hi Nintendo con you fix your Nintendo Store on Argentina, we can't buy your games with credits cards

  • CrasherX2000 CrasherX #ShantaeForSmash (@CrasherX2000) reported

    @Catsupy_Art @zangotang What is with Nintendo and their fanbase? 25% of the time they acknowledge the fanbase and offer fan service while the other 75% they just completely screw them over I DON’T GET IT

  • ZenGraphics_ Zen (Commissions Closed 5/5) (@ZenGraphics_) reported

    @Noshten @gibbogame @Nintendo Not to mention games like MK8D, BotW, SwSh , SSBU and SMO Coupled with stock shortage problems for the other 2 tbh

  • FlareHabanero SPICY BOY (@FlareHabanero) reported

    @GalacticPirate_ For the Nintendo Switch, the technology they're using is pretty reasonable, since too much power would cause problems like battery draining and overheating. But it is reasonable to also be concerned over long term problems related to the technology discouraging developers.

  • amiiboman1 TheGuy (@amiiboman1) reported

    @ICANTBECALM @MythicalRevived @NintendoAmerica Then why is joycon drift still an issue

    @VeryHelpers I have a nintendo switch which has recently started to drift onto other parts of the console when using it. I have a service product with yourselves for this item

  • bubbers56789 fuck plexiglass (@bubbers56789) reported

    @SavedYouAClickV This ain't Nintendo, I'm sure they'll fix it within a few months.

  • newhorizonshype Polymorphing Ghost (@newhorizonshype) reported

    One of the things I would most like to see Nintendo fix in the next update is the spawn rate of seasonal diys. I've been TTing like crazy trying to get all the mush and maple diys and I am so sick of farming balloons just to get clay 😑
