Yo I have an issue with my Nintendo Account, it asks me to confirm my mail address, but when I send the confirmation mail, it doesn't arrive. It's an issue from my mail, or Nintendo is having issues related to their accounts?

@SirDanDoesStuff @PushDustIn I've heard this, but it sounds like nonsense. The problem is, as far as I can figure, there are exactly 0 characters that are both 1) Nintendo would suggest, and 2) Sakurai would say are impossible to add. If none exist, Sakurai's approval is mostly trivial formality.

@JezCorden @JeffGrubb Buy Nintendo and show them how to do an online sub service probably **** sakes.

@sentientsixp The only thing that made virtual console a failure, IMHO, is Nintendo's lack of forward thinking, allowing for the service to move forward through their console revisions, so consumers could have a consistent experience and persistent library.

@VeryHelpers preordered Nintendo Switch Oled 25/7/21, mistake by Very with delivery 8/10/21 advised no stock & cannot resend original one. Had to source elsewhere to be out of pocket financially & 2 weeks later I am still fighting for part of the refund. Poor customer service!

@GarionOrb @IGN It should be a “live service” like game. Frustrating that Nintendo doesn’t under what animal crossing could be.

@Chris_Brunelli @gibbogame Nintendo doesn't usually give digital sales, and AFAIK, Famitsu isn't an exception to this. We'll have to wait for the February investors issue to see how sales have been everywhere.

@ArcticSuicune Hey there! I'm sorry you're running into this issue. This is known and being worked on, but usually a soft reset from the menu should work, if you haven't saved the game. Is this on Nintendo Switch or on PC?

@RapidPilot2 @TroubledY0Uth_ @ModernVintageG Maybe, but again, gives no money to Nintendo at all. Another problem too is trying to track down physical copies of the more obscure games that neither Nintendo or the publisher even sell anymore, searching on websites and stores will vary in price, but some or the more-

@a_wild_zubat_ow @legbonejones @GameSpot Neither Sony nor Nintendo has had any problems putting out new games. MS however has had several setbacks with their upcoming multiplats.

@NintendoAmerica Nintendo you really need to fix your NSO pricing otherwise you're going to lose all of your fans to Steamdecks emulators

@LumLotus Hey, I’m just saying. Do what you want to do, but don’t come crying to me when you find out you’ve done irreparable damage to your switch, and Nintendo won’t fix it cause they flat out KNOW the reason why…

@Vet_093 @BustinBurger @TheNCSmaster Sakurai probably were expecting people would own more than just a Nintendo Switch. Most do. I don't see much of a problem with it.

I gotta feeling nintendo is about to let two birds fly to it’s customers instead of course correcting its online service.😣

@pricklycrayon @cheese051 Personally what I'd like is a subscripion service for a reasonable price for what you get, with good support and appealing features that can compete with the emulators. If Nintendo had as good software with good support for a reasonable price, I think it'd be way more appealing.

@1NuttyGirl Weeeell, I mean it's Disney, kinda the same with nintendo for their protection rights, in any case it would make no sense for Sora to have moves from Disney because the truth is, he doesn't. The only thing that involves Disney characters arr summonings and he is already broken

Plus they helped Nintendo way before Disney did games or anything so why would they have a problem plus it’s based on something I saw on YouTube but I feel like something is up
