    nintendo repair service stop being unreasonable challenge they failed

  • katieriesner Katie Riesner 🎞 📷 (@katieriesner) reported

    Nintendo has had such a massive impact on my life, from the camera app, to their Flipnote animation service Didn’t mean for this to turn into an appreciation post- but my first concert was 10 years ago today, and it was there with my 3DS I realised I wanted to be a photographer!

  • EnbySkull Skull (@EnbySkull) reported

    I need to put my brain in rice cause it's not working. It just plays random nintendo sound track over and over again

  • Idk_ask_someone Zac (@Idk_ask_someone) reported

    @UltimaShadowX I think the problem is Nintendo already announced games like Bayo 3 and Prime 4 So people kinda should expect information now

  • NintendoShame Nintendo Shame (@NintendoShame) reported

    It's been 47 days since the last game was added to the Nintendo Switch Online service

  • Reko_Ebooks Reko_Ebooks (@Reko_Ebooks) reported

    Wish people could just disconnect from the covid app turns out I won something on FB but completely forgot what ******** are Nintendo doing?

  • nacobjacob Jake Hills (@nacobjacob) reported

    @eddyburback Edward. Mario 64 is actually a mass error. Nintendo originally planned to release it as Mario 4. Some dingus messed up the box art and here we are

  • sodaspinoff Soda 🗡️🐚 blm! (@sodaspinoff) reported

    I still wish it were possible to have an official way to listen to Nintendo OSTs... Heck, even adding streaming service to NSO subs, I'd love it and that would make the app much more worthwhile.

  • RoyalFoxRosary Witcho Broke *** (@RoyalFoxRosary) reported

    Ayo, @NintendoAmerica yall customer service phone reps are literally the best of the best.

  • Liamvoss liam (@Liamvoss) reported

    @NintendoUK every time I try to book a repair , it says there is a technical issue. Any idea when this will be sorted ?

  • harley_marx DS_Bug (@harley_marx) reported

    @LaurenOctoling If you have the right screwdriver it's an easy fix, but if not then you could always ship it to Nintendo to fix it

  • hewwix helixレトロ (@hewwix) reported

    i know I'm part of the problem cuz i wouldn't even be talking about this fangame hadn't i been made aware of it by way of... every Nintendo news site, but still man, y'all should know... keep it under wraps.

  • eggdaddy Matt Spink (@eggdaddy) reported

    @beefkr10z I’m gonna rewatch the Arrekz LS tutorial and try and get the key combos locked in. Managed my first capture today so that was good. Main issue I have is constantly pressing wrong buttons because Nintendo do button layout different to everyone else lol

  • hvssvm_ HVSSVM (@hvssvm_) reported

    @oprahshusband @thetruebowser yes the product was faulty to begin with but dont all products have faults whenever they are released? no one is perfect and at least nintendo has made the effort to make a solution by offering this service

  • muchpaprika Paprika (@muchpaprika) reported

    @Dr8kHunt6r Plus Nintendo bought timed exclusivity for a year, so they obviously have a 'game as a service' style plan for it

  • JosephRooks Joseph Rooks (@JosephRooks) reported

    @Seanathan99 @Nintendo There’s no “other system” that has Nintendo’s IPs. This will become more and more of a brand problem for them over time, if they want to keep selling half assed broken features in their games — won’t be the first time their complacency got the best of them.

  • nelsonkj KJNelson (@nelsonkj) reported

    @EpicGames Nintendo link to redeem vbucks for Fortnite not working. All other platforms working fine. Please address

  • shayquanpeacock Isaiah (@shayquanpeacock) reported

    @nintendo needs to fix they system bad no white person should be able to

  • MemeLordGuy124 FireMario124 (@MemeLordGuy124) reported

    @0SushiRabbit0 @Mevans2703 They can’t, Nintendo doesn’t own Crash Bandicoot and it doesn’t even contain any of Nintendo’s code

  • ChaseGarland3 Chase Garland (@ChaseGarland3) reported

    @LonelyGoomba to IT, which is why they're rare. I think only the recent Arcade Archives release by Hamster is an actual port of the original arcade game. Even the version in DK64 was a copy since Nintendo made Rare rewrite the code to avoid the issues.

  • BuffCloudStrife Dave (@BuffCloudStrife) reported

    @NintendoAmerica @Sora_Sakurai @BandaiNamcoUS Fix your game and every character that needs fixing please. Two more patches aren't enough to fix these issues. This game needs support after the dlc is finished.

  • BuffCloudStrife Dave (@BuffCloudStrife) reported

    @NintendoAmerica @Sora_Sakurai @BandaiNamcoUS Removing crossups has caused an issue called body blocking which makes characters with bad recoveries have even worse recoveries on par with little mac where one flick offstage and they are dead.

  • bair54096307 the_cat_from_cailou (@bair54096307) reported

    @quality_qg @KingPhantom456 @HiP3Rx1 Id argue Nintendo's the real number one right now. Playstation is having trouble competing.

  • MaDaTank84 Mario Bolivar (@MaDaTank84) reported

    @CoJ_Gunslinger having issues to load the game, first episode soon after helping #billythekid — I’ve tried to reset game, console, etc. #getsfrozen @NintendoAmerica #help

  • sensayy03 b a b y g i r l🔜LOST LANDS🦖🦕 (@sensayy03) reported

    @NintendoAmerica your switch controllers are not worth $70 they stop working for me after a week and have the worst controller drift, fix your controllers or lower your price this is ridiculous

  • JadonP45 Jadon (@JadonP45) reported

    @Zengar @GeoMS11 @objdadondada Sadly those are contracted out to a third non-Nintendo party and usually feel like they're made out of easter eggs and the broken dreams of orphans.

  • nelsonkj KJNelson (@nelsonkj) reported

    Nintendo link not working. All others working.

  • Looney_Tun3ss Daryl (@Looney_Tun3ss) reported

    @UltimaShadowX I have no problem with Metroid prime 4 and Nintendo coming out and announcing the restart of development. I think this goes to show that Nintendo definitely wants Metroid prime 4 in the best quality possible. Handing it back to retro; announcing the restart-

  • gameongameryes PlayStation is the best place to play. (@gameongameryes) reported

    @davidscottjaffe Sony keeps making money and a lot of it and continues to break records , from console sales, software sales , ps PLUS members and the games are getting awards like crazy. And Nintendo is doing the same. So 2 are doing great one is not. One is counting on rental service

  • Johnknight111 Johnknight1 | BLM (@Johnknight111) reported

    @8bit_Spazzy I think Donkey Kong Country always has that potential too (Returns did that), but: 1. Tropical Freeze was on the Wii U 2. I am unsure if we will get a new DKC game by 2030. The biggest problem ultimately is marketing. Nintendo only marketed Western made games when it was Rare.
