    @CYBERLUSTS you can send it to Nintendo and they'll fix it for free!!

  • FriendKoirby Everybody's Friend Koirby~✨ (@FriendKoirby) reported

    Does Nintendo fix Pro Controllers that stop charging? Or do I have to buy a new one?

  • CalicoCottage27 WillowSage🏳️‍⚧️ ∞ (@CalicoCottage27) reported

    the fact that kingdom hearts is a cloud service game on the switch while nier automata is a native port is one of the strangest decisions nintendo has made

  • _NecroNexus 🎀NecroNexmas🎄 (@_NecroNexus) reported

    @XPKYT This is ABSOLUTELY an error because there is no way Nintendo would allow this kind of runtime to be a movie

  • RealPunchNpie PunchNpie (Jordan) (@RealPunchNpie) reported

    Even great consoles have their faults and the the #Xbox Series Consoles has a major one. Why is it that the @Seagate expansion cards still cost so much? The markup is worse then the Nintendo Sandisk cards. Also, @xbox where are the 3rd party expansion cards??? Fix it now!

  • JohnnyBazel Johnny Bazel (@JohnnyBazel) reported

    @Rey_Rxd @TheSphereHunter Seemingly there were major cuts that happened mid way through development on the behalf of nintendo hence why a lot of the worlds feel empty. This is also the reason for the lack of optimization. Origins probably didnt have that issue since it was smaller in scale from the start.

  • CGam3r24 CasualClaus24 (@CGam3r24) reported

    Fix ur matchmaking Nintendo

  • HttpSecHeaders Caleb Queern (@HttpSecHeaders) reported

    @scovetta @NintendoAmerica Shouldn’t be hard to sign in and declare “it’sa mee!”

  • irgordon irgordon  (@irgordon) reported

    Hey @pokemon, you need to fix @NintendoAmerica #PokemonScarlet cut scenes, there’s no visual loading mechanism, the screen just goes black… which isn’t very intuitive or friendly to understand what’s happening or the scene is loading in the background. #NintendoSwitch

  • JupSWarrior JSW (@JupSWarrior) reported

    @defender1031 I think I know the problem: you expect Nintendo to know what hit boxes are!

  • mattbattmatt Matt (@mattbattmatt) reported

    @AnishDLS1 @Joeytehwriter Isn't the sports titles by Nintendo that have that issue?

  • AkiraleTorimaki Akringle Torimerry (鳥メリーアクリングル、トリメリーアクリングル) (@AkiraleTorimaki) reported

    Does anyone here know how to fix/clean Nintendo DS cartridges?

  • glan_9 Glan (@glan_9) reported

    Now there's another major issue: the netcode. Again, no secret, Nintendo has irredeemably bad netcode for it being 2022. Disconnects happen CONSTANTLY even when nothing is wrong with your internet. It's not your fault, it's Nintendo's. And it ALWAYS counts as a loss when you DC

  • srt_reno @haku on Cohost (@srt_reno) reported

    They’re not as badly damaged as I thought. Thank god. Should be ok, as are my Pokémon Nintendo Power issues.

  • eeeeeeeeeetaw e (@eeeeeeeeeetaw) reported

    @chmook77 @GoRyderGo @axelsyrios Except the actual Nintendo perms are still fine. This is probably not an issue with them. Remember they only own part of Pokémon.

  • SydneyCoots sydney merry christmas (@SydneyCoots) reported

    at nintendo FIX THE FKN PUTTING MECHANISM ON SWITCH SPORTS DO U KNOW HOW EMBARRASSING IT WOULD BE TO RAGE QUIT GOLF ????????

  • __Adjei He's with the Blacks! (@__Adjei) reported

    @ShaneCarter94 I think the issue was having Samus appear on non-Nintendo consoles.

  • patricknotirl patrick (@patricknotirl) reported

    nintendo wii broken

  • glan_9 Glan (@glan_9) reported

    I really don't get why they limited the functional matchmaking and ranking system to X battle at S+, why not just make the whole system work like that? Seriously Nintendo, do something to fix this. It's horrible.

  • KaijuCapri Sweepers | OCO | Kaiju (@KaijuCapri) reported

    @OathToAwesome Wasn't preceded by an outage but when my Switch stopped charging I had to spend 150 to send it to Nintendo just for them to declare it unfoxable and send me a new one

  • PjVita92 Vita92 (@PjVita92) reported

    @kgland83 The issue is the amount of time spent marketing the game before release. How's Nintendo supposed to sell the game to more gamers within just 3 months? Not mention that only 3 months of marketing for an ambitious 3D main series title is an insult to Triple AAA IPs like Zelda.

  • PjVita92 Vita92 (@PjVita92) reported

    @kgland83 A lot of people were expecting TotK to appear at TGA. Why? Nintendo wants to focus more on hyping the Super Mario Movie and FE Engage. With the Mario movie releasing in April, that presents a huge overshadowing issue for TotK's marketing. A lot more people are excited for Mario.

  • eeeeeeeeeetaw e (@eeeeeeeeeetaw) reported

    @Zero5e @GoRyderGo @axelsyrios Always quick to blame Nintendo, meanwhile there doesn't seem to be any issue with their streaming permissions for their games.

  • URAunitB URAunitB/Drago (@URAunitB) reported

    *updates my Nintendo password* *has to re-sign in to 4 devices* Me: My hubris...

  • Wryiin Wryiin (@Wryiin) reported

    @emcdonald74 @DrDisrespect if You’re talking about MW2, your right due to bugs and glitches. if you‘re talking about Splatoon 3 or any of the Splatoon games in general, you’re also right because Nintendo has *** servers so you disconnect every 5 games without a LAN adapter.

  • MattsCreative1 MattsCreative (@MattsCreative1) reported

    @TeamYouTube So you won’t even back up your own tos .. when it’s being broken or is it because Nintendo is rich and pays you

  • Dont_care12346 Niemand (@Dont_care12346) reported

    @_deadmaker @Sleepysolcap @lulumeservey You know the entire contract with Nintendo to play cod is used just put pressure on Sony and make Microsoft look good? The game itself either won't run well or it will cause development issues to run or it will be streamed also looking at the Nintendo community (1/2)

  • HoneyHive_ HoneyHive (@HoneyHive_) reported

    nintendo fix your internet services ******* IMPOSSIBLE challange i just wanna play the big run, man.

  • redreaganbird Reagan Corvus (@redreaganbird) reported

    @NintendoAmerica Please re-release the SNES Mini, and remove the frame rate drops and button input lag.

  • Hydryiucat HyDryI I I I| (@Hydryiucat) reported

    I guess the cpu Celeron B815 have problems. Or the socket probably cannot work well when using the other slot of ram. Idk But starts to fail when the cpu gets 75°C. Damn even this did a jumpscare when i was playing Minecraft (the thing was like when Nintendo switch was released)
