    @NintnedoAmerica is literally the worst at anything involving an internet connection. It looks like they have literally broken their site just in time for the XC3 Special Edition release. Kudos Nintendo. Really. Could you guys join us in the 21 century plz? #SMH #XC3

  • KuaJR JR Grajo (@KuaJR) reported

    @NintendoAmerica Your website's UI ******* sucks, I keep clicking on login it wont log me in

  • kezdawg Kevin (@kezdawg) reported

    @NintendoAmerica Made it through the virtual line but still getting the "Item Limit Reached" error message. Nothing in the cart. Admit that your network infrastructure is 5 daisy-chained Bandai Satellaview modems. Let someone else handle distribution. Give up.

  • The_Duke_of_Pi Duke St. Copernicus (@The_Duke_of_Pi) reported

    @NintendoAmerica "Item limit reached". Nothing in my cart. Site logged me out of my account, now I can't even sign in. What a colossal mess.

  • Dragon_Willow17 Tiki | The Yu-Gi-Oh watcher (@Dragon_Willow17) reported

    @SoWMontaru I can't even sign in to my Nintendo account. It says "item limit reached" when I've only got one, and pressing pre-purchase does nothing Really wondering if I'm gonna get one now lol

  • Giantant456 Robert (@Giantant456) reported

    fix your website @NintendoAmerica

  • Howling_Allie Signora Mythomagic (@Howling_Allie) reported

    Has anyone actually purchased the Xenoblade 3 special edition yet or is the Nintendo site still broken for everyone???

  • Kyle_Levey Taichou (@Kyle_Levey) reported

    @matt301apx @NintendoAmerica Thx but apparently it’s limit has been reached even though I got in as soon as I could. I’m unbelievably disappointed in this entire method as I’ve always been able to get the SE of every other game in the series, without a problem like this.

  • Inqueersitor Inqueersitor @ love 4 my friends (missing gay ppl) (@Inqueersitor) reported

    @DMan_AA nintendo is a bottom tier company for like customer service and ****. this stuff is so basic and they STILL **** it up

  • SuperNin10Bros SUPER NIN10BROS 🧀 (@SuperNin10Bros) reported

    I was already leaning towards just getting the regular version since Europe seemed to be having issues with the special edition. I just haven't preordered yet, so I thought I'd might as well. Great job, Nintendo
