  • DoN0tEat DoNotEat (@DoN0tEat) reported

    @ramriot @ItsReallyNick I've been having trouble getting payment to this guy for the Nintendo Switch he listed on craigslist for three days now.

  • BIazingWaters Jason Prime (@BIazingWaters) reported

    @vicloveshimbos The main problem with the Switch is that it feels so flimsy, like Nintendo did the bare minimum so that it is able to function and support itself and that's it well, that and optimization issues

  • DerekRumpler Derek Rumpler - Alkterios Games & ShinySquad.com (@DerekRumpler) reported

    @RoseSilicon64 The only hardware problems I have with Switch, I think, are overheating and Joy-Con drift although the first one seems less of a problem since launch. I am sure we will see a more powerful system when they release a new console. I think Nintendo Switch is fine with what it does.

  • PeterLuong9 Peter Luong (@PeterLuong9) reported

    @amazon you have a extremely rude customer service. I ordered two Nintendo gift card online and was charged but never got the code. Spoke to Gretchen ralar (game and software department) She was rude! She talked over me and yelled over me and even muted me.

    @FierceTheBandit Hey I remember this, but I wish that this game and the other Crash Bandicoot GBA Games will return on Nintendo Switch Online.

  • marcjones182 Oh Hi Marc 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁷󠁬󠁳󠁿 (@marcjones182) reported

    @sterees Gwd bantz. Never understood the charger issue though. Nintendo stopped including chargers with their 3DS and no one cared.

    @taylorannberg I thought this was an issue with some of the older ones but annoying to know it’s maybe not just that! We had a replacement from Nintendo because of this and were told it was an issue with early ones but clearly not :(

    @Xenolark i may have dropped some amount of money on a barrage of other nintendo dream issues

  • serasynx Sera (@serasynx) reported

    Y'all probably thinking that this can easily be repaired, but my area has been in lockdown again... There are technicians nearby who can repair Switch systems, and there is no Nintendo service center in my country.

  • gibbogame David Gibson (@gibbogame) reported

    (5) - Hosiden which is one of 3 major suppliers/assemblers reported 1Q sales for Electro Mechanical Components -6% YoY when its budgeting for 11% growth. It said amusement sales (Nintendo) was down YoY. I think that's confirmation of the semiconductor problems impacting Switch

  • WhaitForTheTool Wait For E3 2025 (@WhaitForTheTool) reported

    @AEGRO_84 Once sony fix the shortages and nintendo releases the oled screen xbox is done for good!

  • FloweryRin Rin Solana • 🔞 (@FloweryRin) reported

    ✨ I noticed this is especially a problem with lewd Nintendo character accounts (and that's just *one* problem with that verse) No, "but everyone knows about Zelda/Peach/Link/etc" isn't an excuse.]]

  • TheOracleNigga 🧘🏾 🃏 (@TheOracleNigga) reported from University, Florida

  • Dededaio Klu (Pretty Cure Arc) (@Dededaio) reported

    Current state of "Nintendo of America doesn't give a **** about Kirby", neither their current broken official site or section on Play Nintendo been updated in years, with outdated artwork and character profiles This is pathetic

  • Elzytia おい (@Elzytia) reported
