    @itsamecyrus @NintendoAmerica Connection error

  • TimMEsports Tim Masters (@TimMEsports) reported

    @julianlearning @atWisely fair points, and it's also so annoying that the entire situation is made worse by the way nintendo make no effort to help the scene with controller runs or updated game versions that could alleviate some issues. we're just used to it by now i guess

  • xCloudySkieZx CloudySkieZ (@xCloudySkieZx) reported

    Nintendo fix your ******* online service please.

  • fmbee Felicia 𓆉 (@fmbee) reported

    @ogbaelani @NintendoAmerica Oof yeah that’s why I got it for my Xbox instead of the switch. I’ve heard so many issues of lag and crashes on switch. It’s nowhere near perfect on console either but I know it’s not quite as bad. Hopefully they can fix it soon😭

  • DcMonalds Matt e-Jurs (@DcMonalds) reported

    @Fortunate_son13 @animalcrossing Right?? Something must have happened here, Animal Crossing was huge in March 2020. After 2 years we’ve reached the end of support. New Leaf had years of support. Lack of interest maybe? Diverting funds elsewhere? Internal team issues? Nintendo dropped a massive ball with this one

    @NintendoUK customer service team responding to a genuine and repeat issue with a lovely passive aggressive ‘For starters..’ 1/2

    @JeanGen09181213 @Shadows_virtue @metatron_the For the last time, I don't care about what Fromsoft does. I have a myriad of other issues that keep me from ever playing their games, difficulty isn't even one of them. After all I, too, grew up on Nintendo Hard. Everything I've said and asked has been purely out of curiosity.

    @NintendoUK Error 2101-0001 on nintendo switch, does this come under warranty

  • LeftistBaby Last Baby On The Left (@LeftistBaby) reported

    @Just4n0th3rUser That is psychotic. Digital media depreciation going away should be a bigger problem. I already have a major hatred for Nintendo keeping their first party titles locked at max price. If this becomes an industry standard, I think that will hasten AAA demise... Hm... On second thou-

    @NintendoAmerica my switch is still broken rn D:

  • Andy300822 Andy C (@Andy300822) reported

    @thatMarcWithaC Marc - can you, in your powers,do something about the situation surrounding the agony for customers on the @NintendoUK store? There are so many unhappy people, and they're being met with deafening silence time & time again online. Please address your customer service relations.

  • cristallynn_ 🌸Cristal🌸 (@cristallynn_) reported

    @BlizzardCS trying to log into Overwatch 2 after update on my Nintendo switch and I’ll sit in a long queue, then get an error that shuts down the game 😔

  • Pedri64_ Pedro Paliz Pedri64 (@Pedri64_) reported

    @Wario64 Stupid question. Can you get one for me? I can PayPal extra $15 to you for the trouble. That Nintendo store never accepts my Ecuador money 😞😞😞. So frustrating. Can’t believe this is still the only way to get one :(

    @NintendoAmerica "Lady Celica, it is true that your boyfriend could eat an entire bag of flour?" "I... errr..." *Makes fake buzzing and cracking noises* "Whoops, the signal's getting weak! I'm about disconnect!"

  • SmugKaiSupreme Kai 🍊🍊🍊🍊🍊 (@SmugKaiSupreme) reported

    @Wunderdasrvicbl No as your argument claimed that Bayonetta being popular is what got it two sequels. This is wrong. Series like F-Zero are some of Nintendo’s most popular games and guess what? No new games. In decades. And again the “issue” is that they don’t want too

  • AlinRaven Alan Lubeski (@AlinRaven) reported

    @DisneyDLV @GoldenJoysticks Obviously they’re not playing the game on the Nintendo switch otherwise the only thing they would have nominated you for is a kick in the pants! Fix the crashing please!

  • JMChandler_ The Woman King’s Organist (@JMChandler_) reported

    @ImperfectVirtue @OnePunchSham Deb I would disconnect my game. And delete my Nintendo profile.

  • ScarletMantel ✨☆ ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ ☆✨ (@ScarletMantel) reported

    @sonic_show Remember when people posted fake **** about ultimate and got almost sued by sega and Nintendo?When will you learn your actions have consequences? Please shut up unless it is a really freaking problem 😒 even if you hate sonic this is stupid or of you want clout that's even dumber

  • Leoheartlight Larx3476 (@Leoheartlight) reported

    @Rin_I_Guess Wow did you do that that and why you not working at Nintendo

  • SluggerflyDev Sluggerfly | Hell Pie (@SluggerflyDev) reported

    @d_lawrence89 Most issues are fixed and the patch will be submitted to Nintendo soon.

  • Bizzo871 Bizzo87 (@Bizzo871) reported

    @NintendoUK @NintendoEurope Did you have shortages? Then just admit the problem and delay the release to print more copies! We waited five years for a physical edition of Bayonetta 1, a few more months would be nothing.
