  • hereisallexi A L L E X I ⁷ ❁ (@hereisallexi) reported

    I feel like 99% of my problems will be solved if i get myself a Nintendo Switch

  • Shadowlover007 TheLovelyQueen (@Shadowlover007) reported

    @ACWorldBlog I still hate Bunny Day. So far, got more sky eggs than recipes. Would it kill Nintendo to fix it so that we receive the recipes first and then the eggs, not a mixture?

  • muya_gichigi_ll I'm Here for the Chaos🇹🇿 (@muya_gichigi_ll) reported

    @ogeXx__ Ooh but that's the wisest path, learn from other people's mistakes & trial & error on that kind of level is just wasting your life si Nintendo game hakuna other chances na si lazima hautadedi usipooa.

  • shadowbearing Spooky Shadow (@shadowbearing) reported

    The... nice? thing? Is that I looked up a video on how to replace/fix the vita analog stick and it apparently is decently easy? Still terrifying for someone who doesn't know **** about tech, but it's slightly better than nintendo's ****** practice.

  • snivy18361 snivy18361 (@snivy18361) reported

    Why ******** is Nintendo online so bad literally paying you and you won't put effort into making a halfway decent service

  • Kuro_Inferno 𝕶𝖚𝖗𝖔𝖙𝖆𝖗𝖔 🩸 (@Kuro_Inferno) reported

    @RadsYT2 Crash 4 was originally released for PS4 and Xbox One, but it was released on other platforms (Nintendo Switch, PlayStation 5, and Xbox Series X/S) earlier this month. I believe it was also released for PC two days ago.

  • KpopFuckinSucks Serious Kyle MF DOOM FOREVER (@KpopFuckinSucks) reported

  • MatthewShirk11 Matthew Shirk (@MatthewShirk11) reported

    @iFireMonkey Can we get a fix for the audio glitch on Nintendo??

  • Lizzy73025449 Lizzy (@Lizzy73025449) reported

    @chchcharli3 @NintendoUK Point being when official advertising says end of march and fans have heared nothing since febuary. Nothing official has been posted to say their delayed or that theres been issues. They Need to speak up!

  • sillyjillibean thejillibean (@sillyjillibean) reported

    Wished @NintendoAmerica would give us a service in #AnimalCrossingNewHorizons to rename our island. Id prefer that over starting over just to change the name.

  • Carl44lol Banden (@Carl44lol) reported

    @iFireMonkey and they are not going to fix that the skin of T-800 is without an arm and without a leg in Nintendo and Mobile ??

  • dibab4everatrum Brandon (@dibab4everatrum) reported

    @NintendoAmerica @Minecraft who i gotta talk to about the fact that nothing internet related will load on my switch minecraft copy? Cleared cache x3 reinstalled x2. Im look at you Nintendo. Constantly have internet issues with the switch

  • Lizzy73025449 Lizzy (@Lizzy73025449) reported

    @amanda_blueeye @chchcharli3 @NintendoUK At this point I'm no longer buying the offical cards. I refuse to PAY for that kind of customer service. Ill stop by on ETSY pay the extra for the art and hard work, support a small local buisness and be done with this offical card buisness. Also the ships new leaf editions.

    >joycons have drift >dsp never uses the joycons when plays switch dsp: STOOPID NINTENDO NEEDS TO BE SUED TO FIX THE JOYCONS ******* SCAMMERS DOOD >sony ps5 controller has drift dsp: my controller isnt drifting so i dont care about the lawsuit dood. loves sony hates nintendo.

  • Loki_los89 Lokilos (@Loki_los89) reported

    @Chief80X @CentralScruty For sure. Definitely not doubting the issue. Let's hope sony takes a better route then nintendo by basically saying deal with it. How bad is the drift btw?

  • WitchPolyglot Alex Melody (@WitchPolyglot) reported

    @Colteastwood Xbox- Game pass, interacting with fans online Playstation- variety of exclusives , PS Now Nintendo- sue their own fans, expensive games that you can finish in 3 hours, horrible online service , no netflix-like game service

  • Zachary02501037 Zachary Bush (@Zachary02501037) reported

    @PufuuLive Ah, the basic formula for a fake Nintendo Direct leak: the next Smash Bros. fighter (typically Crash Bandicoot), full BotW 2 info, and Metroid Prime 4. Also, didn't Mario Maker end content updates like a while ago?

  • amanda_blueeye Amanda J. (@amanda_blueeye) reported

    @Lizzy73025449 @chchcharli3 @NintendoUK Oh I know. Totally agree. Its infuriating that we have to ask customer service this stuff and get vague replies instead of anything official. Its not like we're asking for a lot we just want an update 🥺

  • MisutaaUrufu 🏳️‍⚧️|ミスター・ウルフ|Misutā Urufu (@MisutaaUrufu) reported

    @CyanRoxanne It's honestly the same issue Nintendo Consoles have dealt with since the Wii. Developers don't take the time to actually rework their game for an entirely new console. Instead they just "port" it. "It just has to run, it doesn't have to *run well*" mentality.

  • incognito_onion onion (@incognito_onion) reported

    90% of lag in Nintendo games happens when it rains.

  • Brandanthegreat GohTheGreat (@Brandanthegreat) reported

    @ElMegaNice100 @MediumGF @JoyconTheDrift Nintendo infamously said once in an interview “Joycon drift is a problem but it doesn’t affect anybody”. This is an account that posts clips of what joy con drift causes.

  • privatejaoel Wallace (@privatejaoel) reported

    @Masterge77 @DrLavaYT It also problem of the franchise popularity itself letting Nintendo get away with poor graphic pokemon games with reused animations instead of stepping up they milk people with same games just changes few things adds new pokemons, few spirtes, and nothing much besides okay story

  • Zestysilicon TheGiantPotato (@Zestysilicon) reported

    @NintendoAmerica My favourite part was that five days after I got it buttons already started to break (despite my care), after which I had to RMA it three times, since my issues were never fully fixed. At least the second and third RMA took four weeks each, I don't remember the first one exactly.

  • DialgaMarine WilliamTSherman (@DialgaMarine) reported

    Microsoft was arrogant enough to switch out Nintendo’s name for theirs in the Banjo Kazooie intro, but couldn’t be bothered to fix the game’s many other flaws.

  • geowolf18 Geo (@geowolf18) reported

    @Growlbeast On the nintendo systems I've never had connection issues world was the only MH game where I've ever had any

  • Bruh82988838 Bruh (@Bruh82988838) reported

    @MFusion245 @earthbound3d What’s your problem exactly? You’re upset people call Nintendo out for things they do?

  • stardew_jock stardew **** (@stardew_jock) reported

    @ahnahleesa plus nintendo tweaked the spawn rates when they realized there were issues last year. hopefully spawns remain moderate after quarantines and lockdowns are lifted
