  • twumblunni Bonnford (@twumblunni) reported

    @Glxiss Cole and Dr Snap really suffered a lot of the same problems, its wild. i wonder if nintendo ds games in particular were more prone to this type of translation error? Maybe translation policies were different or translators worked under bad conditions

  • NightCrawlerCC Chris | NiGHT (@NightCrawlerCC) reported

    @BearUNLV Berlin was a known issue. It's good to see Nintendo being proactive about this!

  • Crystal__Draws ☆🎄Crystal🎄☆VTuber (@Crystal__Draws) reported

    @TeamYouTube Can't take action when there's no option to dispute a rando copyright claiming music from nintendo when i'm playing a game. Also, this automated response doesn't answer my problem.

  • candyversium Candyversium (@candyversium) reported

    @justdancegame Hey @UbisoftSupport I want to play with my friend, who has an Xbox version, I have the game on Nintendo. Everytime I want to invite him the game says "Error This session no longer exists." We checked the cross-platform settings and everything is fine, but it doesn't work

  • BoundaryBreak Shesez (@BoundaryBreak) reported

    @Skullkid765 @NintendoAmerica Yeah I'm signed in and I have Enough points. I think it's just An issue Isolated to my account

  • HadesOmega22 fearful (@HadesOmega22) reported

    @BulbaWhat98 My problem with Microsoft is they don't want to sell a console they want to sell a subscription service. Also no matter what their IP's will never catch it the Zeitgeist that a Nintendo IP or even a Sony IP at this point will have.

  • TheRealJimmyJam James - Raccoon City Survivor (@TheRealJimmyJam) reported

    @JonathanButt13 @Lbabinz Clearly Nintendo is having issues.

  • JUSTICEBEETLE meekins enjoyer 🕎 (@JUSTICEBEETLE) reported

  • XanderK29149226 X-Tweety 64 (@XanderK29149226) reported

    @NintendoUK There's 'snow' going back now! However, I don't really care because moving forward in life is 'snow' problem for me. Just don't give me the 'cold shoulder' (or any 'Santa Claws', for that matter). Okay I need to stop with these puns, 'cause I'm on 'thin ice' here! WORTH IT! XD

  • Ozkar_McFly Oz McCloud (@Ozkar_McFly) reported

    @NintendoAmerica What it is?? The link got me an error

  • sevvycat sevvy (@sevvycat) reported

    @ChinoReef @Isaac_taken @isa_hoku that’s IF nintendo sees issue lmao they had an opportunity to see the state of the game with triple splash and they chose to not touch it at all also spl2 specials sucked but they had counterplay specials too, a lot of the broken s3 specials straight up don’t fit in the game

  • MyUncleNintendo Shigeru Mitochondria ❁ (@MyUncleNintendo) reported

    Did you know? Joycon Drift has never officially been recognized by Nintendo! There can't be any problems if you never admit that you have one 🤔

  • josesolismayen Jose Solís (@josesolismayen) reported

    Fellow Nintendo Switch owners*, what's the best way to know if it's your AC adapter or the dock itself having issues? My Switch isn't charging on either. *who won't make fun of me for not knowing **** like this 😭

  • EVIL_C44 The Stuttering Gamer (@EVIL_C44) reported

    @voiceofthegamer @Lbabinz @NintendoCanada Just worked for me with zero issues.

  • realabzhu A. Hu - #MerryXmas (H/T Shimesaba/naporun)  (@realabzhu) reported

    @GRIMMYRAX @HookLineVG @IdleSloth84_ And that's "Sony's issue, not our problem". At least Nintendo didn't whinge about Call of Duty. Sony, on the other hand, whinged about that ad infinitum

  • MisterDoggo7413 Ghdkdj (@MisterDoggo7413) reported

    I was doing my rank up battles in splatoon 3 and I was 2 wins 2 losses and my team was in the lead when I had a communication error please fix this Nintendo

    @KiverBK “Aight Nintendo, if it’s so bad then fix it.” “We did.” “Then where is it?” “Wait for the mid-season update in January, lol.”

  • realabzhu A. Hu - #MerryXmas (H/T Shimesaba/naporun)  (@realabzhu) reported

    @GRIMMYRAX @HookLineVG @IdleSloth84_ And to quote Reggie Fils-Aime: "that's "Sony's issue, not our problem". At least Nintendo didn't whinge about Call of Duty. Sony, on the other hand, whinged about that ad infinitum when Microsoft chose to intend to buy out Activision Blizzard King

  • loveBTSpeaceOT7 Stephanie (@loveBTSpeaceOT7) reported

    @hokkolife Please fix the problems on the Nintendo Switch. Love this game, but can't proceed. You fixed the connection error and it just brought the storage limit error. PLEASE HELP

  • Ubi72795070 Ubi (@Ubi72795070) reported

    @sailtheatlas Can you look at the issue on why the game looks like a Nintendo 64 game on Xbox series x?

  • 103dexter1 103dexter (@103dexter1) reported

    @Elohym3 I…… have more trouble with crab spam than machine tbh, but with the weapons you play, and the dog netcode that allows laggy players to wallbang, im not surprised you hate machine more. Hopefully Nintendo does something about both in the next patch.

  • silversagi silversagi (@silversagi) reported

    the Nintendo switch lag is real with Mortal Kombat 11

    @JonathanButt13 @Nintendeal Same here. Been trying to redeem points for weeks now. I phoned Nintendo support last week about it and they said it’s a known issue and they are working on it
