    @AshElizabeth19 Hokay, so. ZELDA Link to the Past is on Nintendo Switch Online (it what their subscription service is called to access the older games like Mario Party 3). No Bubble Blast or Marble Madness though. Idk how often they load games to Nintendo Switch Online though.

  • VoreEditStyle Voredfloyd (@VoreEditStyle) reported

    @thornmob The problem is that you're playing Nintendo games

  • lifeisgood2090 John Fisher (@lifeisgood2090) reported

    @NintendoAmerica @rNintendoSwitch I was double charged due to a network error when buying an annual Nintendo Switch Online plan. Luckily, I noticed. After jumping through your support hoops, I was refunded. Stop being disingenuous. These double charges should be auto-reversed.

    @TehVilly I mean that's true and all for JP's side of splatoon, but unless it's a tourney where it's prohibited, it's still possible in the game? JP culture and EU cultures are different, and it was either just league or solo, it's not that big of a deal. Nintendo for sure will fix it now

  • DustinRNuttall Dustin Nuttall (@DustinRNuttall) reported

    @theactualjosi @deckard3k @NintendoUK Are you stupid? It's Nintendos products, they are responsible for fixing issues with them.

  • theactualjosi josi!! (@theactualjosi) reported

    @JoshClarkeDraws @NintendoUK sounds like a you problem ngl

  • ObnoxiousFumes2 𝙊𝙗𝙣𝙤𝙭𝙞𝙤𝙪𝙨 𝙁𝙪𝙢𝙚𝙨 (@ObnoxiousFumes2) reported

    Bought the new @TheAtari_VCS and received it several days ago. Atari server problems prevent it from working at all. It’s currently a very expensive paperweight. Atari claims they are working on a fix, but no timeline. Maybe I should just return it and get a Nintendo Switch.

  • Type_SP00N 🥄 (@Type_SP00N) reported

    @TheBevilHimself for 305.00$ you can buy a new, in-box, Nintendo Gameboy Launch Edition Grey Handheld System on eBay or you can find someone who has a somewhat clean but broken Gameboy for like 10$

  • ObnoxiousFumes2 𝙊𝙗𝙣𝙤𝙭𝙞𝙤𝙪𝙨 𝙁𝙪𝙢𝙚𝙨 (@ObnoxiousFumes2) reported

    @TheAtari_VCS Mine has been dead since I got it days ago. Can’t connect to the store or anything else. How about a timeline for a fix? Or should I just return it and get a Nintendo Switch?

    @GianlukaGonzal2 Nintendo joycon problem

  • spicyfrog64 Spicy Frog (@spicyfrog64) reported

    @NickF19479498 @BlandrewYT Nothing Nintendo can't fix if they didn't hate money so much

  • lJorgePsl JorgePS (@lJorgePsl) reported

    @NintendoAmerica What is the problem? I don't have the game but I think the photos are insect cartoons.

  • tltd_adam 🏳️‍🌈 TLTD Adam 🏳️‍🌈 (@tltd_adam) reported

    @ToniOkami @Nintendo It's not the size. I loved the Duke and the joycon size isn't an issue It's the pairing/unpairing when playing multiplayer. It's convoluted and painful!

  • WEKetchum William E. Ketchum III (@WEKetchum) reported

    Has Nintendo ever shared why their online service doesn't offer voice chat? Is it to protect the kids that play their games?

  • DrEmettBrown DrEmettBrown (@DrEmettBrown) reported

    @8BitorDie @90sRetrollector Well, he did have horrible image back then. Gaming was correlated with kids at the time and that was dealing with Baby Boomers having issues with him. It was the correct move on Nintendo to step away from him. It sucks, but that’s business and capitalism.

  • Typhoon20002 🎄Typhoon2000🎄 (@Typhoon20002) reported

    Animation community, But also the wrath of Nintendo fans. Illumination’s future is very unclear right now but it looks like Sing will be just fine reputation wise, Until certain YouTubers crash the party that is.

  • PWR2NOODLES ✨Sukie✨ (@PWR2NOODLES) reported

    Why is my Nintendo e-store still not working 😕

  • Blackvoid2me BlackVoid (@Blackvoid2me) reported

    @babapapala @DeadByBHVR Try wired connection. I was once a WiFi Nintendo switch and switched to wired. No problems since

  • someonerelavent im love my baby.com (@someonerelavent) reported

    my parents are weirdly anti swear words, and i actively got in trouble for getting caught swearing, but god, if knew the word **** at 7 years old i would NOT have broken my first Nintendo DS

  • The_KingOfTrash the (slightly more festive) king of trash (@The_KingOfTrash) reported

    Like the Wii U and 3ds era definitely had problems but man I miss when Nintendo had charm outside of their games

  • GlideFRVR Glide (@GlideFRVR) reported

    @MarcoAnimeGFX Ohh yeah. Nintendo/Pokémon always doing some extra ****. I was about to get all my other games back no problem. I don’t plan on getting a new switch anytime soon so I should be good from now on

  • akeda_tk TK Akeda🍰 (@akeda_tk) reported

    @DumbAndHopeful Now do it on Nintendo service.

  • TheKrustyKoopa Koops™ (@TheKrustyKoopa) reported

    @Entercoolnameh1 eh, i wouldn't be surprised considering how **** nintendo's hardware/service quality has become

  • kj_broadway KJ 🎄 (@kj_broadway) reported

    @Yardovich1 @robnmccormack True, but I believe it will nowhere be as much trouble as Nintendo asking Square AND Disney for Sora

  • quietlylost Jeremy (@quietlylost) reported

    Hey @NintendoAmerica, very frustrated and disappointed with your customer service. Purchased a copy of Bayonetta 2 for Christmas as a gift and the download code for Bayonetta included was for the EU. Nintendo Support says they can't do anything about it. Alternatives?

  • C011APS3 CO11APS3 DIE 🍼 (@C011APS3) reported

    I've decided to be mean in the end of 2021 - I won't even pretend to care about why they wake up late, why they aren't eating, and their rich people problems anymore. Like the two idiots still complaining to everyone in their perimeter about how 1 nintendo switch isn't enough

  • sapsvlog ً (@sapsvlog) reported

    My Nintendo switch is BROKEN

  • enlakertuh 🌿🦌Human Potato🦌🌿 🔞 (@enlakertuh) reported

    And even if I do track down a copy the money isn't going to Nintendo for such old games. It's just so baffling? Like I can only imagine it's a copyright issue, because they could just do the bare minimum when porting and most people would be happy.
