  • Brahmanii Tired👩🏻‍🌾 (@Brahmanii) reported

    I just think if I had a New Horizons Nintendo Switch my BPD would simply disappear bc what abandonment issues would I have then? My switch will never leave me. I will finally feel secure 😌

  • tasmography abram (@tasmography) reported

    I’m actually so pissed off that my Nintendo Switch’s motherboard “broke” and whenever I tried to get it fixed, they said they couldn’t fix it… so now I just have a dead switch in my room

  • Andyblarg Bug Catcher Andyblarg (@Andyblarg) reported

    @HardDriveMag Crash and Rayman should go to Nintendo the platformer kings

  • smasio_ftt Smasio (@smasio_ftt) reported

    Is anyone else’s Nintendo switch online app crashing when it tries to download vods? I have some vods I really really need to download and it’s just not working no matter what device I try to get the yt link from

  • chowpowbitch Yaphit (@chowpowbitch) reported

    @HardDriveMag It’ll be an embarrassment for Sony if it becomes an Xbox and pc exclusive since crash use to represent PlayStation like Mario is with Nintendo

  • veilent1 veilent (@veilent1) reported

    @V4saTV My favorite games are Nintendo exclusives tbh and I don't have a laptop so nothing to use around the house. So I'd like to have it to play Pokemon or Crash Bandicoot games in bed and chill

  • Kybosh_ebooks Kybot (@Kybosh_ebooks) reported

    NINTENDO, HIRE THIS MAN. I like this is an actual N64 controller comes in soon because the story is just an issue with upscaling N64 to HD in general, but the rest I will actually have 10 days off soon so.

  • mikkupriyanov Mikhail Kupriyanov (@mikkupriyanov) reported

    @BethesdaSupport Doom Eternal problem on Nintendo Switch - Mars Core mission doesn't load up, just gives a black screen. Verified integrity of files and redownloaded the game twice, issue still there. All latest updates installed too. Any advice?

  • GayLittleNoelle 🎄❄️Pandee ❄️🎄- 2% (@GayLittleNoelle) reported

    @Fai_DeFail You should send then to nintendo If we still went to the same school i would have let you use my joycon screwdriver to fix it

  • 355Jess Jess 🗡☥ (@355Jess) reported

    lol i’ve been ia for hours i gave away my old nintendo switch for an oled i lowkey miss my old switch i have terrible attachment issues w non living things help

  • RapperGerste Stephan (@RapperGerste) reported

    @muttskiSRL Idk what footage you saw but even for Switch/Nintendo standards the amount of low res textures and graphic issues is too high

  • itsguppy1 jhett (@itsguppy1) reported

    @TeamYouTube issue is in the youtube app on the nintendo switch, it is up to date and i believe the issue is that this feature is missing from the app altogether. i didn’t realize normal video playlists had a shuffle feature until i noticed it on my phone. the switch simply lacks shuffle.

  • _Troubled_Cat_ Troubled Cat (@_Troubled_Cat_) reported

    @avatar2poster "Nintendo has their problems, but they make good to great games." Like that use to be all the studios that they complain about. Look at CD Projekt Red, they participated in false advertising, released a terrible video game, and gamers still defended them saying its great give...

  • patricknotirl patrick (@patricknotirl) reported

    nintendo wii broken

  • cielosueloastro Óscar Moisés Díaz,of long thought bt little speech (@cielosueloastro) reported

    @mudlinebone exactly the same lmaoooo. one had to give. i feel so lost in this nintendo switch like there's just so much and it all looks cool lmao. i think i'm gonna buy crash bandicoot for the memories, the new pokemon and then like some obscure rpg

  • oskool_g OSKOOL-G (@oskool_g) reported

    @AlecBsPistol @blueisviolet Nintendo follows Nintendo... If it ain't Broke don't try to fix it model

  • PrincessSnivy Phoebe W (@PrincessSnivy) reported

    @dj_damien @HPinder500 @NintendoUK My BD figure and pin were like a week late and my pre-order pins for Sword for buying in the London pop-up came literal months later lol, they seem to have trouble keeping up with "unexpected" demand (it's the biggest franchise in the world isn't it? I feel it should be expected)

  • Kittenzmewmew KittenZ (@Kittenzmewmew) reported

    @TheTaigaQueen @MakinaKid Oh no I'm not disagreeing with you. I'm just stating that the Switch is not an all out amazing console as Nintendo likes to think it is. And newer games that come out suffer because of the hardware issues and developers have to usually cut back on a lot of things to-

  • Satyrim Soe (@Satyrim) reported

    @NintendoAmerica @Nintendo @NintendoEurope For ****'s sake. Fix the ******* joy cons or give me a god damn pro controller. Every game in SSBU i lose a stock because they disconnect. How are you charging 80$ for some **** that doesn't even work?

  • gouranga_man 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿 CMDR Gouranga Man 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿 (@gouranga_man) reported

    @kitschyliepard @NintendoUK Did yours show up? As many were never fulfilled due to a System error.

  • JjScatman ScatmanJJ (@JjScatman) reported

    @ixspringerxi @Nixed81 @PlayStation And apart from all this they still lag behind Playstation and Nintendo.

  • TinyClove Bee (@TinyClove) reported

    I am going to drop kick Nintendo into the sun, what an absolute joke of a company I am having joycon issues AGAIN and I'm certain it's due to the 'repair' they did on it not too long ago

  • drkspksT wheel (@drkspksT) reported

    istg nintendo please fix the error and allow my perfectly running internet to work again i really want to play w my friends 🥲

  • Scooletz Szymon Kulec (@Scooletz) reported

    @marcgravell I also had some issues with buying online with Nintendo. I ended buying via their site (of course not Polish, because it does not work).

  • Fl4tLinr Markus Neumann (@Fl4tLinr) reported from Bochum, Nordrhein-Westfalen

    @synaktis On the one hand people need to be paid and development is not cheap. But Nintendo has had some questionable price policies in the past before. Problem is: no us in waiting for a sale, they won't get cheaper. Looking at you, Breath of the Wild!

  • Omo_akin_Nobody Akinsola Akanmu Opeyemi (Omo_akin) (@Omo_akin_Nobody) reported

    @OgbeniDipo Baba! they are NINTENDO G-Z dem don comot dai ear only money issue mata... see where we are... Hilahiloo every damn day...

  • Jewshssb Jewsh (@Jewshssb) reported

    @IAmShlubbs @Cycotyx Only place I’ve ever seen em is on Amazon for at least 150 bucks, never seen one in store that wasn’t third party. Is there a huge difference with like input lag using the Nintendo brand one?

  • westyglos Martin West (@westyglos) reported

    @NintendoUK How do I contact you to return a duplicate product you’ve sent me? Your website and live chat links don’t work and if I’m ever lucky enough to get an email from the customer service team they just say to call you direct but don’t know the number to give me(!) #Arceus

  • Gilbertbelieve2 Giants Called Me, ALOY! (@Gilbertbelieve2) reported

    @SpiderManUni01 @Xbox_Series_XS It’s been damn good to Sony and Nintendo. Disney isn’t stupid, they were to acquire PlayStation they would treat “Project Spartacus” just like they do Disney+ keeping things exclusive to their platform/service
