  • SRuhleder Sebastian (@SRuhleder) reported

    As a child, I exchanged Yu-Gi-Oh! cards for cookies. Hottest trade I made was a broken skateboard for a Nintendo game. All I'm saying is, I'm ready for the crypto world. Didn't need a banker to broker my cookie deals back then either.

    nintendo wii broken

  • DemetriRojas Testaferro (@DemetriRojas) reported

    @GifZelda Music is so freaking good in OOT, story as well and dungeons were actually kinda difficult and scary. On the other hand I really hate the way nintendo deliver the story in BOTW, that is my major problem with that game, you just discover what happened ages ago, didn't follow up.

  • esseelig Eric Seelig (@esseelig) reported

    @frankcifaldi I believe I've heard that you can optionally use the Nintendo-Y and Nintendo-B buttons as Game Boy B and A, right? Have you experienced any of the issues people have had with the cartridges being too loose, getting nudged or tapped during gameplay, and freezing the game?

  • AgentPearl2 GenoGamer (@AgentPearl2) reported

    @Reecee_yt Nintendo needs to fix this ****

  • RyanDotAbs Ryan (@RyanDotAbs) reported

    @SamPamphilon @Prime3k Everyone saying Nintendo never had a mega drive? Same fix!

  • NintendoShame Nintendo Shame (@NintendoShame) reported

    It's been 151 days since the last game was added to the Nintendo Switch Online service

  • NextGenPlayer Hunter 🎮 (@NextGenPlayer) reported

    @RandyLoss Nintendo has a year in review, login to your account on web

  • CuriousUserX90 CuriousUser (@CuriousUserX90) reported

    @DrLavaYT @reggie_800 In addition to all versions of the first 2 Mario Party games and Mario Kart: Super Circuit, despite Nintendo of America being against the Broken English Voices. Fortunately those 3 games only used recycled dialogue.

  • danofthewibble Danofthewibble (@danofthewibble) reported

    Sunday night task done. Joy-con stick replaced. Should probably buy some more spares. It’s not as if Nintendo are ever going to fix the issue.

  • video_gamebot Video Game Bot (@video_gamebot) reported

    Crash Bandicoot 2: Cortex Strikes Back for the PS1 needs to be put on the Nintendo Switch

  • AgentPearl2 GenoGamer (@AgentPearl2) reported

    Nintendo has to fix this. Let me know if anyone has shared the same problem.

  • ItsTonySnark 🆃🅾️🅽🆈 🆂🅽🅰️🆁🅺 (@ItsTonySnark) reported

    @Gogeta_Dank @SamusHunter2 Not sure what your point is? The next system will definitely be dual just like the Switch and I don't think that's going to cause any problems for Nintendo.

  • EnkiiknE EnkiiknE (@EnkiiknE) reported

    @NintendoAmerica Whatever you do. Don't order from Amazon. They're having supply issues. Ordered, charged twice, returned twice, charged twice again; called, bounced around 7 different people, dropped call 30 minutes in, did it all over again. Finally, cancelled. Then returned twice, again.. 😬🙄

  • mr_tu_shai_uk Digital Ras (@mr_tu_shai_uk) reported

  • counsel_mike CounselMeMike (@counsel_mike) reported

    @PokemonMasters So, my account kept lagging and restarting due to error message and I deleted save data, but was linked to Nintendo account and for some reason I cannot retrieve my account? Can anyone help or is my account gone?

    @nathwesto Don't fix what ain't broke - Nintendo proverb

  • BeamTheDeer 🏳️‍🌈🦌 Beam the Deer (🎂 20 DAYS) (@BeamTheDeer) reported

    @ArloStuff Yes, other controllers do it too (I'm looking at you, Microsoft.), but with my experience, I can honestly tell you Nintendo Switch Joy-Cons are the absolute worst by far with not only drifting, but even sync issues in my case.

  • LTDork Rrat (@LTDork) reported

    Yo anybody know if Nintendo is doing the fix for joycon drifting on the og Switch models? I'm finally experiencing a bit of drifting on a controller, it's not too bad and doesn't happen often. I just wanna know for like... In case I should get it fixed asap or if I can wait.

    @trisandwich Problem is, mum has held the Nintendo Switch on hostage for 3 months. 😩

  • TDO667 HSG (@TDO667) reported

    @Kmega4 You can support Nintendo and PlayStation. The problem is when you exclusively support everything except American brands like Xbox.

  • CrystalFez Crystal Ferriman 🏃‍♀️🦮👶👶👶 (@CrystalFez) reported

    @Kwik_Fit @Pirelli Super Mario but my grandson's Nintendo Switch is broken - he would be over the moon with a replacement.
