🎄🍬AllyRaeven🍬🎄 (@AllyRaeven) reported
@Jesterthepeople @NintendoAmerica Yeah! At first it was causing my tournament matches to crash, then it was happening every time I did a surprise trade. Now it just happens no matter what.

🎄🍬AllyRaeven🍬🎄 (@AllyRaeven) reported
@DannyOHKOs @NintendoAmerica A decent number of people in their support message boards had the error...probably will have to email them directly 😭
-
🎄🍬AllyRaeven🍬🎄 (@AllyRaeven) reported
@DannyOHKOs @NintendoAmerica Nope, been just trying to work on my dex and it keeps popping up with the error message about every 30 seconds to 3 minutes. I pretty much can't do ANYTHING online and I know it's not our internet because Rex is fine.

@WarOnFanservice @XanderStabbity Nintendo still has their problems

I_Dont_Live_ (@IDontLive5) reported
@ToadRoasted @kindalikeliquid @hammer_kirby @FockheadTV @SavedYouAClickV The issue is that it would be dumb for Nintendo to cage themselves of possible fighters, as they didn’t even know all of the DLC fighters when the spirits were being made. Also, Sakurai has been known to repeatedly break fans’ “rules”

Buyers #beaware @AmazonUK @JeffBezos sending obvious returns unsealed previously opened Nintendo Switch Consoles when purchasing new items, tsk tsk! Chat customer service appalling! Telephone help service better. I personally will never again purchase electrical goods from amazon

@Andrew__Sell @Colteastwood I think the real issue here is you are all following the “smart business” guide being submitted by the third place platform, who just about spluttered along this entire generation. I think Nintendo and Sony have smart business sorted

@NintendoEurope Nintendo, please fix your website.

Schiller (@SchillerSFV) reported
@itsHvKz No no no. The joycons had their own problem were after a while they would permanently drift. At the same time people were also reporting the issues of their switches not turning on. To solve the controller drift problem Nintendo said you can send in the joycons for free.
-
Paul (@paulsturch) reported
@NintendoUK seems that my switch has inherited the joycon drifting issue. How can I go about speaking to someone about this

I don't know why. But out of all of my Nintendo controllers, my Switch Pro-Controller is the only controller that does "NOT" give me any problems with the drifting. #NintendoSwitch, #Nintendo

Ordered a Nintendo Switch ($299) for Black Friday from @GameStop but received a Nintendo Switch Lite. Actually want the Switch Lite now but this process of being credited the $100 difference has become a nightmare. Customer service is extremely experienced.

MechanicalDragon 🇨🇦 (@M3ch4Dragon) reported
@ecmyers Nintendo should fix that for you. I went the route of ordering replacement sticks and have spares kicking around in case it happens again.

@WMMMNNN as would i, though do remember the bad online is generally reserved to ssbu, so it's much more viable that it gets a rework than it would be if the issue was something to do with nintendo's online service as a whole. it's entirely possibly and very probable that the smash dev

I am struggling to be an adult cuz I spent my spending money on a Nintendo switch yesterday but now I SHOULD return the switch so I can fixed my broken phone and I have 0 desire to return said switch

Super 8-Bit Ben (@Super8BitBen) reported
The biggest problem is Nintendo and Nvidia are being awarded for a flawed system that has an amazing concept. We live in a industry that promotes pro models so it can be said that people can afford to pay roughly £390 for a Switch with good battery,more compact size @KevinKenson

@JLucario2 @Pokemon @NintendoAmerica @GAMEFREAK_info Ok, Gamefreak lied and cut the national dex. It's going through problems yes, but if you're just gonna cancel your membership and not play the switch because of sword and shield and what gamefreak did I think that's kinda ridiculous on your end.

Schiller (@SchillerSFV) reported
@itsHvKz I know Nintendo put out a report about this as well as Joy Cons with the permanent tilt. I'm pretty sure if you call them you can send it in for them to fix it for free but I would double check

@PKM Sword Rain Stan &RWBYV7 spoilers (@Tsubasa_Blake) reported
@Iyahvillanueva3 People are annoyed at Nintendo for releasing a port of western version that which very censored from the Japanese version. Some people are going out of their way to say to the people that are excited for the game are supporting censorship and they are part of the problem.

@mrleedles My dream picks are Crash Bandicoot and Spyro. It would be disrespectful not to have one of the most influential non-Nintendo rivalries of the 90s be left unpresented in true Smash fashion. Oh, and CommanderVideo from BIT.TRIP, because indie representation.

@JoshZampich @ReaganABeard There's still the issue of corrupted ROM's and files that could put your phone and/or computer down really easy. I would totally back a safe and secure program that Nintendo could very easily put out.

@biishoujo_ I think i had this same problem before, you probably forgot to press continue in the shop screen, Nintendo will return the money later because it doesn't go through the system

@Muskelsmurf For me it would be great. If I had hopes of #BanjoKazooie coming to #SmashBrosUltimate and it happened then there's no reason why @NintendoAmerica wouldn't put their own #DonkeyKongCountry games onto their #NintendoSwitchOnline service.
