    @Yoshihenry1 @NintendoAmerica They should take more care of their employees by addressing the issue instead of ignoring it

  • patricknotirl patrick (@patricknotirl) reported

    nintendo wii broken

  • tweethue Philips Hue (@tweethue) reported

    @attgc Can you try a factory reset of the box? Just follow these steps: remove power, hold button on the front, connect power while holding button, and wait for 10 seconds to issue a full-factory-reset. Could you also try the Nintendo in port 2 or 4?

  • chrisalchinhot1 chris.alchin@hotmail.com (@chrisalchinhot1) reported

    @NintendoUK @XRockerGaming have Nintendo lost the complete ******* plot? Denying that joycon stick issues are not a common problem?? Buy a new switch and the control sticks drift and don’t control properly after limited use, have to pay for repairs? Thieving SLIMEY ba******

  • OGOfficialKmart Official Kmart➐ (@OGOfficialKmart) reported

    Shout-out to Lanie at @NintendoAmerica support for helping me get rid of the hacker and helping me get my money back. Honestly the best customer service by far. Totally wrecks Sony's service.

  • FrontlineGamer Prince Tybalt (@FrontlineGamer) reported

    @JMW_BOYZ @Optimus_Code & therein lies the problem. Nintendo, after seeing the **** show that was Atari, instigated a far more stringent set of rules for software launching on their platforms. When Sega came along with the Megadrive they had more relaxed certification processes, nowhere near...1/4

  • yea145 ye.a.a (@yea145) reported

    @NintendoAmerica If you say free meelee you have problems

  • LostRouge_ Rouge (@LostRouge_) reported

    @Cliffcheese @NintendoUK @AmongUsGame Both of you are just can’t seem to grasp this is a payed game, on mobile it’s FTP and had ads to generate money instead. Nintendo wants you to pay for an online service which this game uses so no. Pay for the cheap service they provide.

  • slingbees Bee (@slingbees) reported

    Nintendo rly said "villagers will tell you what they want for toy day starting on the 1st" but didnt fix the way villager dialog works so you can talk to them until they're sick of you and they still won't tell you

  • NintendoShame Nintendo Shame (@NintendoShame) reported

    It's been 2 days since the last game was added to the Nintendo Switch Online service

  • Azmo72724688 Delta (@Azmo72724688) reported

    @Phuton9 @Nintendeal Yeah exactly. I can assure those Nintendo online goes to Nintendo only, so what's the problem with among us on switch?

  • FFoxuwu Foxy_the_pirate_foxUwU (@FFoxuwu) reported

    @FortniteGame and @DonaldMustard This is a huge problem I was going to creative and the loading screen was still loading when it was done i come to a small island not the winter map i play on Nintendo Switch I think the Nintendo switch players need a update for this bug

    @kittwalkerphoto @Untamed_Ghost @NintendoUK I'm having the same issue, does that actually work, or would that damage the switch..?

  • person_von Person von McPersonson (@person_von) reported

    @NintendoAmerica The first game was fun, but there were times when you'd throw an upper cut or a hook and it wouldn't register, which was annoying. Hopefully they fix that in Fitness Boxing 2.

  • BaronBrr BaronBrr (@BaronBrr) reported

    @FlumponatorIv @ZeroWolfox @LegendaryCaps Still for the vast majority of the 2010s crash was a fairly obscure ip. Also PlayStation and Nintendo have never been on good terms, even though crash is on switch

  • NoahGentry8 Fastestblueblur :3 (@NoahGentry8) reported

    @zacharoniVEVO 5 dollars plus you'll have to have a Nintendo Online Service

    @Yoshihenry1 @NintendoAmerica Nah. If Nintendo cared about their social media team, they’d sort out them problem to ease their employees job. I’m sure #FreeMelee isn’t upsetting anyone

  • wilco3d Joe Angus (@wilco3d) reported

    @tweethue Yeah simple setup, sync box into arc hdmi on tv, virgin media hdmi2 of sync box, Apple TV hmdi4 of sync box, Nintendo switch hdmi1. Issue only seems to be when watching virgin. Having enabled both 4K options in virgin box, still blacks out

  • TheTriforceKid TheTriforceKid (@TheTriforceKid) reported

    @SquareEnix Hey, so, while you're pushing Nintendo Online, you guys could TOTALLY make Secret of Mana 3-player ONLINE CO-OP. Like, who turns one of the best co-op RPG's into a single-player-offline-only game? Fix this. There's no excuse to not make this game online Co-op.

  • Toby99835147 Toby (@Toby99835147) reported

    @MythrilSaber7 @X4no_YT @IGN Apparently the number of followers decides something for u. Does it matter if it is a charity or not if they are using Nintendo's trademark? If I am copying others' work and give some of the money I earned to others, the person I copied from will be in trouble instead. Big brain

  • TheFaceOfBoe87 Agent of S.H.I.E.L.D (@TheFaceOfBoe87) reported

    The biggest problem with #Nintendo is that it has always and will always see itself as a toy company that makes video game hardware , rather than a video game hardware company that occasionally makes toys . This is why they have such a shitty shitty relationship with creators

  • LucaTweeting LucaTweeting (@LucaTweeting) reported

    @AmongUsGame someone found a glitch on nintendo switch that leaked the whole airship map

  • LauraMoore810 LauraM (@LauraMoore810) reported

    @NintendoUK Just don't bother ordering a switch to play it on. I ordered on black Friday and I'm still waiting! Any queries just get a standard email response, no chat, no working phone number, no customer service. No idea if i will get it for Christmas 😔

    @FortniteStatus since I'm on Nintendo switch its not working

  • Byleth_Enjoyer Aze1 the Byleth lover | 🇵🇷 (@Byleth_Enjoyer) reported

    @BrokenSSB So I can have 10 dollars more to pay a intern of nintendo to ******* fix Ken's Shoryu 💀💀💀

  • FrontlineGamer Prince Tybalt (@FrontlineGamer) reported

    @JMW_BOYZ @Optimus_Code when MS put a HDD in the Xbox & allowed patches & updates. Their certification processes were arguably more stringent than Sony or Nintendo in many ways except they allowed wavers for things so you could fix them later. Then the PS360 generation happened & the rest is history.4/4

  • crostayoung Christina Young (@crostayoung) reported

    @Pocket_Camp Yo Nintendo we would get subscriptions if we could still play. Just fix the app and then you won't have to beg for money
