  • EstLuma hmmm (@EstLuma) reported

    Do you think someone would trade a MacBook Air for a Nintendo switch? Just needs a new battery. I have parts to fix one and I really want to j*ilb*eak one so bad.

  • Co3micLeaks Cosmic - Fortnite Leaks (@Co3micLeaks) reported

    A patch for Xbox, Playstation, and Nintendo Switch has been released to address stability issues!

  • Espeonkin 🏳️‍⚧️ilia's wife, forever and always🏳️‍⚧️ (@Espeonkin) reported

    @dotpyenji "we had to slice our profit projections because of dragalia and totally not our flop of a TV service but it's totally nintendo's fault not ours"

  • dannyphantomdi1 dannyphantomdesireefan (@dannyphantomdi1) reported

    @RoQuirarte @mr_evaporation @NintendoAmerica the crash IP will be left to die once Microsoft officially gains Activision/Blizzard next year

  • Clarinet_Duck Clarinet Duck (@Clarinet_Duck) reported

    @april_hydra Send it into nintendo. If you're in NA they fix for free

  • NSWMongoose NSWMongoose (@NSWMongoose) reported

    @Jazzem @NintendoUK I have trouble with my kirby pre-order from shopto and it's because banks are changing over to a new payment system. Could be to do with that

  • buskalilly Luke Summerhayes, Friend of Bears (@buskalilly) reported

    @gjburchell @BackPagePod I sent some genuinely deranged stuff to ONM cotests; enough that I got a shout-out in the final issue! Also just before Matthew left NGamer he asked readers to send cookies. I lived near Bath at the time, so I baked some nintendo biscuits and took them in only to learn he'd left.

  • Scarbkage Jacko (@Scarbkage) reported

    @NintendoAmerica Fix online

  • expert_45 Expertgamer45 (@expert_45) reported

    @chaos_r3born @_LarZen_ @BenjiSales My bad, EA has EA Play and EA Play Pro and it's EA Play Pro that has their new games day one. So Xbox, Ubisoft and EA has a service that gets all their new games day one. Nintendo and PlayStation is the only ones who don't.

  • dannyphantomdi1 dannyphantomdesireefan (@dannyphantomdi1) reported

    @fan_kisaragi @LocalRob0t @NintendoAmerica you're a ******* idiot if you think that crash was ever going to be in smash especially with the crimes that Activision/Blizzard have been committing against female employees, also, because you wanting crash is proof you support the crimes that Activision/Blizzard have committed

  • getdeclue 🏳️‍🌈Dylan, the FruitSlice🏳️‍⚧️ (@getdeclue) reported

    had to contact @NintendoAmerica @NintedoSupport w/ an account question and my experience was fantastic. They got my issue resolved very fast despite it being a potentially difficult issue. + The hold music was Ocarina of Time! Just want to call out good service when I get it.

  • mehdigeekDX Mehdi 🌷 (@mehdigeekDX) reported

    @Xeno_Joey the problem is that most Nintendo fans don't buy anything that doesn't Mario or Link in it, so these franchises go back to being dormant after Nintendo tries to revive them

  • Jazzem James (@Jazzem) reported

    @3battle1 @NintendoUK Ah to clarify it's the payment for shipping! It's £1.99 for the shipping plus the 400 platinum points for the book itself But aye, I thought I was entering card details incorrectly at first but even just selecting paypal without doing anything else caused the same error

  • gamer_wrestling WrestlingGamer (@gamer_wrestling) reported

    @Lord_Arse @Nintendo Do you think it's too much to hope this finds its way onto the Nintendo Onlinr service as one of the N64 games

  • RyGoesPOP RyGoesPOP (@RyGoesPOP) reported

    @MLecktro @ErickADub @NintendoAmerica Uh, no Crash and Akira Howard aren't Bonus Fighters, but sounds like they could be, but it's best to leave them for a Future Path

  • Sokaras3 Sokaras (@Sokaras3) reported

    @ADSoutoArt She isnt nontendo property but i do revall se artisy getting trouble from nintendo. However whetger that is actually nintendo or an impersonator is another deal

  • ThreyKiller ThreyKiller (@ThreyKiller) reported

  • Karmaquarius Mario メキシコの超人 🇲🇽 🇺🇸 (@Karmaquarius) reported

    @thatoldgamerguy defo positive. Nintendo and Sony will never go for this type of service, Sony feels like pride or envy to unveil something no1 has done before, Nintendo knows they can sell an empty case (no code, no nothing) & his fanboys will defend & gladly pay 60usd for it.

  • yoracrab YORA🦀 大きなお尻 (@yoracrab) reported

    @OnTheDownLoTho @NintendoAmerica you're very good at fixing these kind of problems

  • Axel_Flores101 AxelFlo (@Axel_Flores101) reported

    @SBail22 @PurpleAries2 @AidenRS139 Yeah.. that was my problem plus black ops was on the wiiu it was big thing back then to want a call of duty games in Nintendo systems too

  • fan_kisaragi AndroidStation 5 (@fan_kisaragi) reported

    @NintendoAmerica Why should crash have to suffer on not being in smash? He deserves a spot in it

  • Pelloki Matthew Pellett (@Pelloki) reported

    @jellyscare If I’m remembering correctly, when Nintendo Gamer closed there was a massive office clearout of most things and back-issues sadly.

  • TRushdown The Rushdown (@TRushdown) reported

    @morgansam822 @Rinku_Hosoi @SpawnWaveMedia Perhaps if you only think that because I'm using such words as filthy casuals because you're so insecure this wouldn't be an issue, If you actually grew up and accepted that that is how we call Nintendo Switch users in the PC space this wouldn't be an issue.

  • fan_kisaragi AndroidStation 5 (@fan_kisaragi) reported

    @LocalRob0t @NintendoAmerica But we could've gotten Crash instead of pyra.

  • Emotheviper Shane Williams (@Emotheviper) reported

    @OfficialXboxU The problem is Xbox users do this so do Nintendo users Besides pinning the blame on a section of the gaming community we should actually be blaming Metacritic as this problem crops up time and time again

  • VikingPanda69 VikingPanda (@VikingPanda69) reported

    @NintendoAmerica Get rid of friend codes and update that infrastructure, groups is meh when sk many other issues are present. That being said I'm loving my OLED I just want to see some positive change!!!!

  • NintendoShame Nintendo Shame (@NintendoShame) reported

    It's been 246 days since the last game was added to the Nintendo Switch Online service

  • PotOfGreedo Pot of Greed (@PotOfGreedo) reported

    @RyGoesPOP @6amerBr0 I want to see that Nintendo fan service city in a CG cutscene
