  • Fernand09413602 Fernando (@Fernand09413602) reported

    @NintendoAmerica The only thing this proves is that you guys took our unhappiness with the Switch Online Service and did not consider it.

  • playFPS91 AboveTratio (@playFPS91) reported

    @nintendolife Is Nintendo job to make the service good and convince the customers of why they should purchase the expansion pack service.

  • TokovonNuvelle 💜 toko is jolly (mahiru)🎄 (@TokovonNuvelle) reported

    @104Admirer no no when you get a physical game, you press + and go to the My Nintendo Rewards Program to get gold coins, but right now it's not working for DR bc of the delay in some stores

  • MrRedFox91 Matthew Wesley (@MrRedFox91) reported

    @ErickADub N64 emulation is really hard. There's no one size fits all solution and Nintendo's emulation of their own games on the service is hit or miss. That's why it's taking so long.

    New Alert | Stability Issue We’re aware of a stability issue on Nintendo Switch related to switching inputs. We recommend not switching between docked and undocked modes.

  • SwitchLad64 SwitchLad (@SwitchLad64) reported

    @fersama10 @Anything4Orbs @NintendoAmerica you are the problem

  • ChickenKneeACNH Chicken knees (@ChickenKneeACNH) reported

    @tidefallcrossin I recently sent one of my controllers (not a Pro) back to Nintendo to fix the drift, and got it back pretty quickly. It was fairly painless. And free!

  • Fernand09413602 Fernando (@Fernand09413602) reported

    @NintendoAmerica i disagree because you guys left out a bunch of great games on the NES and SNES: The Power Rangers games, the Batman games, Final Fantasy, Mortal Kombat, Street Fighter, Killer Instinct, Star Wars, etc and were not included on the service.

  • MJ__Hernandez MJ Hernandez (@MJ__Hernandez) reported

    @Colteastwood I highly doubt it's Microsofts problem if they were able to put gamepass on switch and PlayStation i would bet they would do it in a heartbeat But Sony and Nintendo just not letting them

  • Leo20924918 warzone slayer#1947 (@Leo20924918) reported

    @DonaldMustard please fix the issue and make it not where Nintendo has a crashing a steal and make it ruined for everybody else thank you 😡😡😡😡😡🤬

  • IBAliSTiK_M IBAliSTiK_M3RKZz (@IBAliSTiK_M) reported

    @FortniteStatusy girlfriend is encountering an issue on Nintendo switch where all of her epic friends are deleted and I cannot add her nor can she add me

  • thekingofbel Fem Ryoji(kiwi) (@thekingofbel) reported

    @PsychicMajor @ANerdNamedJerry My point being nintendo can't make them rebrand so why would they oddity rebranded because of devolpment issues that game was in development hell

  • Soulsni65690475 Soulsniper (@Soulsni65690475) reported

    @EpicGames what to do if I forgot my epic email and password? All I have my account on is a Nintendo switch and I am trying to move to a PC but I cannot sign in I have been playing and grinding battle pass tears since chapter 2 season three and I don't want to loose all my stuff

  • origamigoose_ goose (@origamigoose_) reported

    @Alexie_Spl @Sloshyowo I feel like the problem is that if you give every weapon it's optimal kit, then Nintendo basically has no reason to add any more weapon logs because they'll all just be worse than the optimal kit

  • AzureSkySM sam (@AzureSkySM) reported

    @bac0n_pancakes_ I didnt have any trouble with the monkey cave nintendo's website has a PDF of the player's guide that came with every copy of earthbound which got me through pretty much everything non combat related ppl consider to be frustrating

  • glenhombre Glen (@glenhombre) reported

    @Geki_CP Would Nintendo be able to fix it for free?

  • TopHat_123 TopHat (@TopHat_123) reported

    @infamous_linnie One small issue, Italy isn’t real. It was made up by Nintendo for the Mario games.

  • Spoderguy2 Keks (@Spoderguy2) reported

    @nintendolife By releasing only one N64 game ever other time pretty much proves that Nintendo will be putting not that many games on N64 games on NSO. If they're gonna be charging us 50 USDs a month at least put in more on the service and not the bare minimum.

  • AngelCaban19 Vash0125 (@AngelCaban19) reported

    @nintendolife Duh, Nintendo needs to be on a set schedule with this service especially since theyre asking for more money and plus be the retro equivalent of Gamepass

  • xxexvoidii_69 XXExvoidii_69 (@xxexvoidii_69) reported

    @DonaldMustard Fortnite don't work on Nintendo fix your game 🎮😤😡

    Nintendo switch issue on Fortnite @FortniteBRFeed

    If you are encountering issues when updating the game on Nintendo Switch due to insufficient storage space, we recommend archiving and reinstalling Fortnite.

  • thecattuccino cattuccino 🐈 (@thecattuccino) reported

    @FortniteStatus @FortniteGame my children are having issues with getting their Fortnite crew and battle pass on Nintendo switch. Is this a common issue with the recent update? The Nintendo eShop claims they have no pass. PS4 here is fine. They’ve had crew for months now.

  • Fernand09413602 Fernando (@Fernand09413602) reported

    @NintendoAmerica Honestly the only thing this convinces me to do is to cancel my subscription of my Switch Online service all together and after gamers hear about this, i am sure they would too.

  • iwriteforme Christopher Bair (@iwriteforme) reported

    @CaliforniaSalvo When the NES came to North America, Nintendo wanted to sell it as a toy rather than a video game, thanks to the video game crash of 1983. But Toys R Us and other retailers didn't have electronic toys so much as "boys' toys" and "girls' toys," so Nintendo had to decide which.

  • OptumisP optumis prime123 (@OptumisP) reported

    @FortniteStatus @FortniteGame Make it quick because I am starting to get tired of being logged out and I am on Nintendo so that is kinda a problem

  • Fernand09413602 Fernando (@Fernand09413602) reported

    @NintendoAmerica Now you tell us that after we were displeased with the service, you're still going to charge us $50 for the service and only upgrade one game at a time. I mean as a gamer I would be happy to pay anything you asked if I had more games and the games I want to play

  • kidsmoove KidSmoove⚡️ (@kidsmoove) reported

    @Colteastwood He can kick rock. Why must Xbox games be on PlayStation and Nintendo but he doesn’t have an issue with Nintendo and Sony keeping up a walled garden? That’s the weirdest take Xbox is literally everywhere without the need to be on ps or Nintendo.
