@SDSchumacher13 @animalcrossing Wow the amount of comments saying they had to buy the decorations. @Nintendo You know your drop rate is broken when your players have to go through a third party platform and dish out way more in game currency than they need to just for decorations.

@GameStop I did order Nintendo switch but it can’t reach on Christmas. Even though I paid for expedited shipment. That’s not customer service, it’s called lying to people. Thanks for ruining the Christmas for my kids #gamestopsucks

does anyone who upgraded from a #SwitchLite to an actual Switch have this issue? basically my hours are frozen at where they were on the Lite & they won’t upgrade. Nintendo didn’t help me at all. :(

@JJCTroy @DoctorWhhhat @NintendoUK The problem is, Nintendo is a multi billion dollar corporation. It is simply not viable to fight them in court unless you have similarly large amounts of cash to fight them with, even if you are in the right.

It is sad because @NintendoAmerica for all their problems and the troubles they have caused us, they do have some very nice Winter music. Unfortunately cannot listen to it on some youtube channels since they took it down. AWWW MAN!

@AsurionCares Definitely. Long story short, I've spent about 5 hours on the phone and have waited 2 months to get a Switch repaired. Didn't have anything to do with covid shortage, just errors made on Asurion's end regarding marking an authorized repair (done by Nintendo) as unauthorized.

(@SKForSmash) reported
@AngrybirdsSmash I'm sure tons of people love the idea of SK being playable, the problem is I don't see too many being vocal about it, which is the main goal of this account: drum up support and encourage others to be vocal so Nintendo knows we still want playable SK.

people are so quick to feel this disconnect with #FreeMelee because they either only view it as an annoyance and don't care about the **** nintendo is doing, or it's less important to them than whatever value nintendo 'seems' to be adding to their lives

If you lag while fighting me in smash online. I can guarantee I’m disconnecting if lose. Because get better internet. Latency is annoying asf. And **** Nintendo for not having good servers match making too. Stop pairing me with ****** with McDonald’s internet.

@LuigiOdyssey @DimitriyDzyuba The Nintendo FANS are the problem, not Nintendo. All the Nintendo hate is overblown.

@NintendoUK Anyone else have broken dialogue from jingle? I think it’s because I had no trees that could have baubles on them so be skipped the whole event :/

@Pokmaster98 @NotPrepBatman @LuigiOdyssey ok I watched the whole thing (skipped some parts that I knew already) and a few issues: 1. Nintendo is being given WAYYYY too much charity here when it comes to how people have tried to work with them. They've been offered partnerships with many different leagues (i can link it)

@AxoLofa @Mayro2020 Him hiding it isn't the issue it's that he's not backing his "beliefs" of nintendo melee and etika by giving nintendo endorsement

Perchta
(@Perchta4) reported
@animalcrossing And I understand the point is to trade with friends but the problem is my friends don't have them either and it's not very fun to just get everything from friends with no effort. This was an issue with the fall diys too and I feel like Nintendo just didn't care to listen.

@ClassicMike_ my friends with a seven year old just never did Santa. They just do big all out surprise presents (this year a Nintendo). They briefed him on the concept and told him not to discuss it at school. (Not a problem this year)

@JO_sPLatR @Mayro2020 Free Melee isn’t an attempt at clout it’s addressing Nintendo’s terrible business decision. Awareness doesn’t automatically equal clout. And also the pronoun issue is way different than the Free Melee one

@EpicGamesBackup I'm having trouble accessing my sons fortnite to add a vbucks gift card. I think we messed up linking our accounts. He has two different usernames ( ps4 and Nintendo) & they share items, but not vbucks. I just created a new epicgames acct, using his username 1/2

The only time a repair was done on my Switch was by the manufacturer themselves (Nintendo) while it was still in it's initial warranty period. Did I tell them that? Of course I did. Did I even explicitly state NOT to send it back still broken without contacting me first? YES!

@NintendoAmerica I'm glad I don't view you guys through rose tinted glasses cos your asses are abunch of clowns who only exist to hate their community and do stupid **** for no reason lol go back to just making underpowered and shitty broken consoles #JoyconDrift #FuckNintendo

@Alexalchemy1 @botmaster9000 @LuigiOdyssey Yeah because big house was actually sponsored by Nintendo and Big house instead of hearing the first warning they decided to go that leaded ninty on doing what they did, since the others aren't sponsored they didn't had the same issue.

@Speedster1012 @Mayro2020 Yeah but saying nintendo is a bad company and then playing ult is just dumb. Like how can you back up your words when you fanboy over a game. And I agree that pronoun issues need to be addressed more, but even so I don't think it's cool how content creators are dealing with melee
