@NintendoUK I've tried booking a repair for a few joy cons on your UK website but at the very end of the process where I clicked "book a repair" an error message saying "we are experiencing technical difficulties" popped up. Is there a possibility I can get an update on that?

@SportsballJ @TheFantasticIan Ain't no way I pay 80 bucks for joycons just so they start to drift after 3 months of NORMAL usage, then pay SHIPPING, just for Nintendo to semi fix them and they start to drift again after 6 days

@pikagirl1527 @NintendoAmerica Account disabled/banned is usually as a result of violating terms and conditions but if you think you’ve not broken any rule and was banned by mistake, send an inbox to "e_protect_360" on Instagram for quick review and assistance.

@TheFantasticIan I’ve said this before, joy-cons have way too many issues that it’s insane Nintendo released the Switch with them in this condition. Some personal issues: No ergonomic grip, thumbs sticks are the worst feeling not to mention the drift, buttons way too small, connectivity issues.

@TheFantasticIan The idea is awesome, but the product quality is terrible like, a controller that's split into two halves to be used independently, together or attached to a portable console? great! I just wish Nintendo would bother with fixing all the issues

@TheFantasticIan Nintendo does free replacement of joy cons because of the drifting problem lol, I didn't know how long it would take for them to send a replacement in so I decided to risk it and take my chances at fixing it myself.

@SportsballJ @TheFantasticIan They don’t fix it well. My joy con’s started drifting 3 weeks after Nintendo “repaired” them 💀

@TheFantasticIan I've had Joycon drift but the N64 controller is still worse. At least Nintendo will fix the drift for free, no questions asked. It takes about a week.

@TheFantasticIan So. Nintendo has gotten **** for this but... what people have found is that Xbox and Playstation controllers also have gotten this issue. *shrug* I think everyone needs to take a hard look at how they make thumb sticks.

@SportsballJ @TheFantasticIan They have to fix them because they don't want to be sued, and they don't want to be rightfully sued because they'll lose, and they'll lose because Joy-cons are the worst controller Nintendo ever made Srsly I'm a huge Nintendo fan, but I don't understand how people can defend this

Random thought: why can we put bushes, hardwood trees and cedar trees on beaches in HHP but not on our islands? 🤔 This is such a small fix but it would change my life, Nintendo please ? 💙

@MojangSupport Hi, I have bought a second-hand version of Minecraft for the Nintendo switch, however, when I try to sign into my Microsoft account it says I cannot do it, usually providing the error code "creeper".

@TheFantasticIan Anyone who claims 'Nintendo fixes for free' is ignorant to the issue. The Switch has been out since March, 2017. The Joycons made and released in 2022 have drift. Nintendo knows the issue exists and refuses to fix the issue before releasing Joycons.

@Nic5_Cyprus GameCube had a lot of the same problems as N64 and Wii U. A great handful of Nintendo developed games but a huge lack of variety elsewhere Third party wasn't as bad as those systems but it still wasn't close to Xbox/PS2 level

@Mordecool_Ice @davelanger2k @ang3lface87 My thing is…who in the hell cares? Just buy the platform it’s on if you wanna play it so bad. I don’t see a problem with Microsoft using their best asset (money) to get talent. Same with Sony, Nintendo, etc…

@Black_D_Gamer1 Nintendo should seriously fix the shoulder buttons on their pro controllers, though. I never had a broken first party controller right out of the box before the Nintendo Switch.

@The__Goomba Some people probably assume I’m only into Mario and Nintendo, but that’s not true because I also like PlayStation and that there’s also non-Nintendo franchises that I’m a fan of 💀 (Crash Bandicoot and No More Heroes are two examples of that)

8yo as I'm putting him down. "If you could change one thing to fix the world, what would you do?" "Mate that's a big question. Cure diseases, stop wars, end world hunger?" "Pick one" "world hunger i guess." "Boring. I'd give everyone a Nintendo Switch"
