Nintendo Switch Online Issues Reports

    And don't even get me started on the massive library of virtual console games that were actually fairly priced. Nintendo Switch Online pales in comparison. Now you just get a crappy, overpriced subscription service in which you own none of the games available

  • M5trMnd Dan Solther (@M5trMnd) reported

    @RPGSite Mmmm nop sorry switch is better, is more affordable, and weight less, and you had all the nintendo rpgs, and for the people talking about emulation shut up you’re the worst, the reason why everyone in the industry want to be a service game.

  • CrimzonRozez CrimzonRozez (@CrimzonRozez) reported

    Without the performance issues. Even the fps doesn't drop below 30fps when you're just wandering around. Is the game worth it? No. Is it worth buying on sale? No. Why? Too many sacrifices ruin the experience on the Nintendo switch. -

    nintendo wii broken

    @TheNCSmaster At the same time, you see that video games have been $60 since they pretty much were invented. So, I kinda don't have a problem with it as long as they don't go up numerically. Though, some companies are kinda bad about pricing games that should be $40 instead. (Nintendo)

    @DeadByBHVR For Nintendo Switch players the game crash during the matches closing the game instantly.. Another annoying udpate..

  • littlebit670 LittleBit (@littlebit670) reported

    i hope @NintendoAmerica @SplatoonNA can fix the player feed (notifications) soon, it was able to show if someone was playing solo or with a team in SR or Anarchy

  • Dynamon911 - ̗̀new ̖́- Dynamon911 (@Dynamon911) reported

    @crabjuice64 @SuperMarioOOC81 Probaly was made as theme when Sony and Nintendo where only Teo to compete each others during the 90's. Even if kratos May be not fit but now Is the new mascot for Sony nowdays. Before was crash Bandicoot

  • CB00324386 C.B (@CB00324386) reported

    Hi,I've had my red new 3DS XL for about 3 years now and the paint on it has been peeling steadily. It doesn't bother me as much as it used to, but I'm just wondering if it's worth sending it in for repair. Will Nintendo fix it or just refurbish/restore it?

  • OsirisHK335 Jort (@OsirisHK335) reported

    @PacboySlim If I get a new console I want to play new games, and my old games. At least there were like no games for the Wii U that were good that Nintendo didn't port. Switch actually has enough of a library that it would be a problem.

  • applesplash8404 marimarimarimarimarimari (@applesplash8404) reported

    i'll pay nintendo to remove some of the ink recovery lag from the dynamo roller please

  • AppleDaki 300mg Of Absinthe (@AppleDaki) reported

  • reallyjoel reallyjoel (@reallyjoel) reported

    @dark1x it ran our game just fine, we had no trouble developing for it. no more than any other Nintendo system that is

  • Janos_Hedgehog JanosX SL (@Janos_Hedgehog) reported

    @TheHazarduz @AndrewLivingst2 @16bitnostalgia The crash was real and almost destroyed the video games industry, Nintendo saved it with the Famicom/NES

  • konigssohne NEOAethyr (@konigssohne) reported

    @16bitnostalgia 1982, game crash timeline ~. Halfway right for sure, until nintendo made it's way.

  • vDesired_Feels ᴅᴇsɪʀᴇᴅ ✩ (@vDesired_Feels) reported

    @DeadByBHVR Please make the graphics less blurry and make it look actually decent and fix the frame drops on Nintendo Switch. I’ve been getting so much blur and frame drops on the switch and that can give the player the disadvantage to win. @DeadByBHVR please fix this!

  • MPACHEC40005595 🍻M_PACHECO🍻 (@MPACHEC40005595) reported

    I need some help finding something. I have a 3DS XL and I can't find anyone to fix it for me. (I would get Nintendo to do it, but I don't have my serial code.) Does anyone know where I can get it fixed?

  • SquadDisaster DisasterSquad (@SquadDisaster) reported

    @16bitnostalgia P.S. , this was written JUST BEFORE or DURING the video game crash. When stores had a glut of trash that wouldnt move. She was right, until nintendo came in to change things up.

  • Blue_Link13 Blink (He/They) - Morbin the Grapes (@Blue_Link13) reported

    @Aimu_NicoleM You could fairly easily make it so the flag to start the eldin leg of the song quest didn't trigger and softlocking the game, so nintendo distributed an app via the wii shop to patch affected save files, amd I think future runs of the disc had the issue patched

  • Jenglis04418263 💦J_english🍫 (@Jenglis04418263) reported

    I've been trying to sign in to my account for a while now, but I keep getting this error message. Can you help me? I own a 2ds and a 3ds xl but I can sign in with my Nintendo id on either of them. It says they are on another 3ds console even though they aren't.

  • maxuwl2 maxuwl (@maxuwl2) reported

    @ComicLoverMari honestly most of my problems with the trailer is the colors but then again i am a nintendo fan here things rarely go dark

  • thesealverse Seal - Hard Nintendist🐧 (@thesealverse) reported

    @EmblemOfAcumen Broken is my Nintendo 64's controller stick. THIS is something else :v

  • CreColPro Nicco (@CreColPro) reported

    @GamerObscure @Dogeskii @Wario64 “Once Nintendo gets more games on the service.” Lol. And once Nintendo cuts the service, my carts will still be around. The true ageing test.

    @Microsoft I wanted an account for Nintendo switch not Xbox please fix it it's the most recent account

  • 1stStepCine First Step Cinematics Games (@1stStepCine) reported

    Patch update: Chapter 8 sound freeze issue fixed for XBox and Nintendo Switch versions of Twice Reborn: a vampire visual novel. Steam versions play normally.

  • FGUpdatesInfos Fall Guys Leaks & Content Updates Infos (@FGUpdatesInfos) reported

    Due to an issue with Nintendo Switch and flashing lights, the reply button to this tweet has been temporarily disabled. This is being actively investigated and will be fixed soon.

  • Fanged_Sniper Tenko (@Fanged_Sniper) reported

    @KarlTruths @VGC_News @ModernVintageG Oh, it was just the worst when they ditched the Wii's Virtual Console for the current Nintendo Online service. It's taken so long to get what we have, and even now we haven't caught up to what the Wii had. I'm crossing fingers we keep as much as we can from Switch!

  • danicaboone12 ☺️danica_boone🤓 (@danicaboone12) reported

    There have been reports of payment processing issues with the Nintendo 3DS system. This may result in disruption to some online features and services. We are working to resolve the issue as soon as possible. Thank you for your patience and continued support.

    ayo can nintendo please make an achievement/trophy system for us broken souls?

  • LinguiniSneaky Millie (@LinguiniSneaky) reported

    @peach_4k as a top 1 in the world player, this is 100% true. to fix this nintendo needs to add a head hitbox and make chargers do between 50-150 damage depending on charge w/ the head hitbox making them do triple base damage (150-450)
