    @2nty7evn @Habbo imagine sayin habbo is dangerous lmao. automated moderation is very common for years and nobody seems to have a problem w it except overdramatic grown *** habbo nerds. they use the same automated moderation as roblox, nintendo and other games; community sift by twohat.

  • N0tn0xi Noxi (@N0tn0xi) reported

    @vietzomb @gaming17432 Not to mention Nintendo isn't even getting any money eitherways, they dont take a cut from pre owned copies or repro copies (Which isn't even legitimate ownership either) so how is it any different? It's abandonware essentially, it's only a issue with recent games

  • Jake_1064 .Jake (@Jake_1064) reported

    @CoffeeCaked Nintendo using window 98 for the online service

  • Yeti_Eddie_ Yeti_Eddie (@Yeti_Eddie_) reported

    @MojangSupport I’m trying to upload a new word to a realm and it won’t even let me have a chance to upload it at all, error message always pop up. Game is up to date, my system is up to date, and I just don’t know why. I’m using the Nintendo switch version, please dm me for help

  • detonyle anthony (@detonyle) reported

    @OrionLuvsGaming @jasminesedaght1 @ConcernedApe Usually 10-14 business days for Nintendo if no issue…

  • rickypim271 Ricky🤍 (@rickypim271) reported

    @167hrPenalty @NintendoAmerica Tomorrow’s update should fix that it happens when big updates come out cause they have to use the switches severs and upload all the contents! Sorry about that 💙

  • jaydenchess J (@jaydenchess) reported

    @IGN people are gonna be quick to bash Nintendo for this, but is was probably a licensing issue

  • msmonsterchoir c/k monsters (@msmonsterchoir) reported

    @Zari_Wari is this gonna become the new broken nintendo switch image

  • TigeronStarfire Tigeron Starfire #BLM🏳️‍🌈 (@TigeronStarfire) reported

    @animalcrossing @acnhbackup Bless you, Nintendo. My Switch failed last week and I needed this service. It worked without a hitch. Now please look into this for other games in case of theft or loss, like Pokemon and Splatoon 2!

  • Im_Joshi_Yoshi Joshi (active a bit) (@Im_Joshi_Yoshi) reported

    Nintendo fix your shitty controllers.

  • SeanAsHeck sean (@SeanAsHeck) reported

    didnt know pokemon home auto renewed im pissed off lost 20 bucks on a service thats more useless to me than nintendo online

  • ZyroXZ2 ZyroXZ2 (@ZyroXZ2) reported

    @JJorkRoyale I wouldn't go THAT far, but I think Nintendo has a serious disconnect between their corporate mindset and their fanbase. They are merely looking at sales data, which does NOT represent the fanbase, but instead the userbase. That's their primary error at the moment.

  • lenguy4 Lenguy (@lenguy4) reported

    20 ******* minutes this took!! Almost just as long to upload this clip itself. Nintendo, your **** sucks. Fix it.

  • ImRelatedToYou JS (@ImRelatedToYou) reported

    @catsntats9 You should be able to access everything on it with your Nintendo login info.

  • cabinfeveryt cabinfever is finally finishing the eva video (@cabinfeveryt) reported

    @torienergy nintendo will fix it for free, joycon drift

  • Kayshire_Cat 🏳️‍🌈Super Kiryu 3D World🏳️‍⚧️ (@Kayshire_Cat) reported

    @_Kenzan_ @CaseMonster88 afaik the port was good. i want that too but again not paying full price. My issue is more how ******* nintendo games only go down in price when they go on sale

  • screamsIasher char 🪨 (@screamsIasher) reported

    i have 99 problems and all of them would be solved if nintendo made a new version of nintendogs for the switch

  • MeleedyMods Meleedy ✨Comms OPEN (@MeleedyMods) reported

    How the eff do I fix drift on a joycon? Also where can I get the part for a broken r button? I tried sending into nintendo for drift and it came back more broken. I'm mad cause it's a neon green one and they only offered to replace with a gray

  • YoungDark7777 🍄🌟Young Dark🌟🍄 (@YoungDark7777) reported

    @AFriendlyGemRGG Nintendo for some reason thinks porting over the Wii U library to Switch is a good idea which.. is a huge problem in this era- luckily there’s barely anymore Wii U Mario games to port- what are they dying to port Ultra Smash? Lol I feel like we might get something new hopefully

  • SluG_ICs 𝖘𝖑𝖚𝕲 (@SluG_ICs) reported

    @TSM_Leffen had this problem with my old mayflash and eventually said **** it and bought a nintendo one

  • AlmostAHero Herono (@AlmostAHero) reported

    @bobservo It’d be great if your purchases weren’t tied directly to the hardware and you could just redownload them, rather than needing prescience to know when to transfer data before a fatal hardware error, but I’m sure Nintendo knows best.

  • Eleven5Five Eleven55 (@Eleven5Five) reported

    @PoorlyAgedStuff Context: The switch is selling very well even with the major joy con drift issues that plague Nintendo

  • no_name_spl2 poke (@no_name_spl2) reported

    @Sniping_gater this is actually a new glitch that was found a few days ago I think.. it gives you God mode and invisibility (of course). you can't do much besides hope nintendo fixes this or you report the player :/

  • ceofmyself nadia (@ceofmyself) reported

    I got 99 problems but getting nintendo switch gray joycon will solve 90 of them

  • ZackoryClement Z4XGL1TCH3D (@ZackoryClement) reported

    @RainbowIce9 @NintendoAmerica Ones that barely fix any bugs or glitches and only add a few better textures that you could get on an emulator? I mean sure, it's great to have the games on Switch, but couldn't something have been fixed with them?

  • aftabali61 Aftab (@aftabali61) reported

    @mariokarttourEN I hope this acts as a wake up call for Nintendo- to fix the ranked cups and make the competition more fairer. A few people in my friends list have dropped out since Berlin tour and one left this tour :(

  • aidanj25 ajj (@aidanj25) reported

    @SwitchdOnGames hi. Just wondering if you can help with a problem playing online season against other players on my Nintendo switch. Every time I connect with a player it says squads don't match and cancels the game. Reseted the squad loads of times. Any help greatly appreciated.

  • LabManiacDan Dan (@LabManiacDan) reported

    @WestinPlaying My only problem with this is re:Video Games, and the physical disc not coming close to containing the game anymore :( Praise Nintendo, I guess?

  • TSTMinato Minato #Reimu4Smash (@TSTMinato) reported

    @josedavidqp @NintendoES That sounds like a u problem
