@freshjuicygames I have an issue with Stranded Sails on the Nintendo Switch. Had 2 manual saves, one as a backup. Came back to play. Both manual saves gone. Only the autosave left and it was 4 hours back in play time. I lost SO much progress and items. What can you do about this?

@AngryDraconequ1 Huge problem, and it's really emphasized with the way Nintendo ***** up everything having to do with the internet. It's like we went back to the 90s, sometimes animated gifs and all.

Reminder that retroarch on switch let’s you play stuff like NSMBW with almost no performance issues while Nintendo can’t even get N64 games working right for a 40$ a year service

@HiimSteve20 @swshriv @NintendoAmerica What are you talking about? Even if they are new and Drift you can send them in for FREE to get them fixed or sent new ones. And all you got to do to fix them is unscrew the back and put a thin piece of cardboard there. Not defending anything, **** the Joycon drift wtf?

@ShadowFoxArche The drift isn’t a Nintendo issue it’s a manufacturing issue of the joy sticks. They are the same issue on the 360. You have found the as close to complete fix as u can get. The real fix would be making the sticks with a harder material at the bottom

@NintendoUK Can you help, my daughter tried to buy Hot Wheels Unleashed on eShop made payment but got thrown out with an error (too quick to see) back to Home Screen. Payment is showing pending on her bank account but she can’t download the game (says purchase still) & no email confirmation.

@StarGotGame Don't associate with them then. Don't let a fanbase decide for you. I have a PS5 but I'm nowhere close to being a Pony. I love all games and all systems. I support PlayStation, Xbox, PC, Nintendo. Games are games. I just want to play good games and not broken messes

@mr_evaporation @NintendoAmerica Something funy is that online is still free on 3ds and wiiu, but wiiu poor sales probably made the investors angry and now the online on switch is a paid service. Weird how everytime that Nintendo launch something the "news" try to make it fail, sadly worked with wiiu.

@Becca_Sparkles_ @NintendoUK You make a good point haha. I don't think I want any distortion world after seeing the issues I've experienced. Honestly this has made me wanna quit playing pokemon. BDSP is lifeless and has made me sad as I will never get the remake we all really wanted. And Legends looks ok

@NintendoAmerica You are literally not addressing the issue. It’s happened like every year the switch is out. How can as soon as possible be three plus years?

Given up on smash. Until Nintendo addresses and fixes not only their online issues but how people easily take advantage of them while playing its just not worth playing

@venixilines @Brax_The_Idiot Even though Id imagine some of that lies with Nintendo and their ****** service (that asks money for) The lack of a connection indicator for Switch TAG is pretty whack tho, Ill give ya that

@SiouxSkelding If it's the e-shop not loading, it's happening to a LOT of people. Either someone is attacking Nintendo or they weren't ready for the rush of new players. If it's not that problem let me know I will try to help
