    @thejuice027 @NoGravity_Games @thejuice027 had the same issue-figured it out. Make sure you are using a Nintendo account that already has a game from Gravity Games purchased there.

  • DavidJHeaton David James Heaton™ (@DavidJHeaton) reported

    @GAMEdigital What's actually worth playing at the moment that isn't broken? I've a PS4 and a Nintendo Switch 👍

  • ToastieLabs ToastieLabs (@ToastieLabs) reported

    @lolhypocrisy Thanks for buying the DLC! This is a save file issue we have already found and fixed, the patch is being processed by Nintendo and should be with you in the next few days - keep checking for game updates.

  • Cancervecero2 CanCerveZero (@Cancervecero2) reported

    @Warface Hello. I am a new user of warface on nintendo switch. when I try to unlock the engineer, the program closes due to an error. Is it just me or all switch users? Thank you.

  • xShaXoSSB SH | xShaXo (@xShaXoSSB) reported

    Btw, to all Isabelle Mains out there: If they don't fix AT LEAST one move of Isabelle, we're storming the Nintendo head office and take down anything smash related.

  • kentonagbone kentona (@kentonagbone) reported

    @RMSolitayre @SgtM_Yuusha So okay, my official answer now is "Yes. It is well known that Arwing pilots have they lower legs amputated, to avoid blood issues with high G forces, as depicted on the SNES cover and Nintendo Power. This was true until Nintendo retconned this fact for unknown reasons"

  • PaulSheridan20 Paul Sheridan (@PaulSheridan20) reported

    @NintendoUK Your customer support is basically non existent. Live chat not working. I have a big problem and need some help from customer services.

  • baychilla Bay Chilla (@baychilla) reported

    Bro...did Nintendo get rid of the lag on AC with the system update...or is it just me. Haha

  • Jim74656 Jim (@Jim74656) reported

    @kilikikero @ItsAdamBurman @Dr_Scaphandre Nope, it’s due to Nintendo using an annoyingly useless Broadcom BCM20734UA1 KFFB3G chip which are ehh at best and not the greatest thing, the other problem is Nintendo servers are just utter rubbish.

  • BigPhatChonker Smol One ▪️▫️◾️◽️◼️◻️⬛️⬜️ (@BigPhatChonker) reported

    @MojangSupport My Minecraft world won’t let me play unless I back it up, but for some reason it claims I have insufficient storage space even though I have nearly 20GB free. This is on Nintendo Switch on the new 1.18 update (Bedrock). Is this a common problem?

  • DiddleB0P DiddleB0P- streams back but so is internet probs (@DiddleB0P) reported

    So apparently you can get stuck like this. I'm sorry I broke you, Brewster! @NintendoAmerica @animalcrossing , help?! #acnh #glitch

  • tkpriyesh Priyesh (@tkpriyesh) reported

    @NintendoUK Total disappointment on being a new customer to you. The worst Customer chat I had today in chat support. The analyst said ended my chat without even addressing my question! Is this called customer service? Hope you take action on this!

  • mattyxander mattyboo 💀👻🎃🦇 (@mattyxander) reported

    I am having absolutely no luck with ordering things recently. First Nintendo/Royal Mail, now @UPS_UK being completely incompetent with abysmal customer service. Telling me what I already know/completely missing the point?

  • MrEmeraldMan25 EmeraldMan (@MrEmeraldMan25) reported

    @SilverSaturn64 @chuggaaconroy I think the issue is just that Nintendo doesn't re-release a lot of their Gamecube games for some reason

  • PYCN_ ._.xD (@PYCN_) reported

    @WarThunder The texture quality fix means the one that happens after 4 matches and makes the game look like Nintendo 64?

  • CoolerCozy Cozy Cooler (@CoolerCozy) reported

    @NintendoAmerica Fix your Online : Day 1

  • art_daimyo The Daimyo 🇺🇲🇺🇲🇺🇲 (@art_daimyo) reported

    @GameXplain Nintendo aint gonna just hire any random dude to fill a quota like other companies. They gonna hire people who are both skill and competent. So long they can do that, it shouldn't even be a problem. Hell, nintendo tree house are mostly white people and they suck ***.

    Offfft Nintendo switch controls are hard for f0rtnite 😩 plus it's lagging because of wifi? But man at least I can pway

  • BearSquash Mr. Bear Squash-you- (@BearSquash) reported

    @Kotaku What's the problem, unless you're saying that Nintendo is actively discriminating against women in management positions. How many women are applying for those positions.

  • cutie_satan cutiesatan 🌙 (@cutie_satan) reported

    my bf tried this duplication glitch in my shining pearl game and it was working but eventually crashed the game and i got so scared i thought nintendo was going to come to my house with the police

  • David90673119 David (@David90673119) reported

    @edmundmcmillen @TylerGlaiel Edmund i buyed the binding of isaac repentance in my nintendo Switch but I cant play,i have de disc card and i cant play,can you fix that?

  • Vanessaissweet Vanessa the RE fangirl 🏳️‍⚧️ (@Vanessaissweet) reported

    @Kotaku nintendo literally said theyre gonna fix this as always horrible ethics kotaku

  • LuxMythical normal birb luna ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ (@LuxMythical) reported

    @prettypinkviper @Vanessaissweet the article is extremely fair reporting, the only thing that could be considered an actual criticism of nintendo is the concluding line that no company has outlined specific actions to be taken to address the issue and that’s fair concrit

  • NintendoShame Nintendo Shame (@NintendoShame) reported

    It's been 133 days since the last game was added to the Nintendo Switch Online service

  • noirscape_ Binah (@noirscape_) reported

    Known as the pokemon berry glitch, it would cause issues in Pokemon Ruby/Sapphire due to a mistake in how the game counted days and years. Nintendo issued an *insane* amount of ways to fix the issue by packaging a fix with every other gen 3 pokemon game.

  • ChaNewwtt_ Westsminter Chah (@ChaNewwtt_) reported

    @PlayApex When u guys gonna fix club nintendo? When i disable crossplatform , automatic left my current club 😩

  • CardCaph CardCaph (@CardCaph) reported

    @IsSamerow If it weren't for the misinformation and uncertainty that came after Oddity's rebrand and Nintendo's prior takedowns, this wouldn't be such a big issue people have. It's less about having something against fanworks and moreso trying to protect people from the spooky C and D.

  • Poltergust5000 P. 5000 👻 ENVtuber (@Poltergust5000) reported

    @Fennaixelphox @mattihaserotu @petergotbored I think Nintendo themselves *might* own the patent for the sound battles? So THAT could be an issue... but yes, they don't have the rights to the franchise as a whole, Itoi does, apparently.
