  • tragictrnsistor rue!❄️ @ 13 days (@tragictrnsistor) reported

    @seraphicflora Yeah idk 💀 at this point I think there’s either been some major technical difficulties, issues with Nintendo, or maybe mhy was straight up lying kshsjsjw

  • haveyouseen01 HaveYouSeen (@haveyouseen01) reported

    @Nick_Marseil My PS3 YLOD, and my PS4 had a disc read error. They are all tech and they can all break down. Only Nintendo I feel make consoles that can last forever

  • jay1qt Julia Thomas (@jay1qt) reported

    @PS5StockAlertUK @DheuvVadgama Purchased a PS5 from Game today, only went in to buy a Nintendo game, I just asked and there was stock so I do not think they are announcing getting Drops any more due to all the problems this passed year. So if you are passing any shop just ask if they have stock. Good luck.

    @Shiori496 @KurokoiArt @JosNamesnotJo2 ROB was part of a marketing strategy Nintendo was doing to market video games as a toy and not a computer game, due to consumer distrust after the crash of 1983. He along with other NES peripherals like the Zapper played a major role in saving the North American video game market

  • MidnightOD_va MidnightOverdriverVA #BLM (@MidnightOD_va) reported

    @DreamlanderJoel @MatttGFX But that raises the issue where Nintendo won't ever give them a chance in anything at all. Can't ever shine brighter if never given the chance to shine in the first place.

  • Penkenarts Penken COMMS OPEN! (@Penkenarts) reported

    @Zyfire I haven't tried OOT yet so I will take your word for it! Don't get me wrong, nintendo deserves every bit of criticism. But I was noticing it was particularly harsh because "nintendo" I'm praying they fix those errors because if they want people to pay that yearly price... yikes

  • I_am_Nasher IAmNasher (@I_am_Nasher) reported

    @Peachtree_5 @NintendoUK Is tht the pre order gifts ? I know they couldn't send them out with the game due to problems hope mine arrived soon but yh that packaging is ridicules

  • kory_lindy012 Kory Linderman (@kory_lindy012) reported

    @NintendoAmerica Just a reminder that Nintendo absolutely can’t get anything right online. Error message every time.

  • TCB_NYC TCB (@TCB_NYC) reported

    Oof, I really gotta contact Nintendo customer support to fix my account verification.

  • codyskenobi link⁵⁰¹ (@codyskenobi) reported

    did y’all crash nintendo’s year in review site…

  • xmissbrie Briana🎄❄️ (@xmissbrie) reported

    @NintendoAmerica LINK IS BROKEN😤

  • InsrtHandlHere D_II (@InsrtHandlHere) reported

    Underwhelmed, but at least it's something new from Nintendo? Fix your ****** online system instead

  • bcbopstar Noah (bcbopstar) 🔮 (@bcbopstar) reported

    @Penkenarts This is through my eyes so take it what you will, but from what I understand it the input lag seems to be an issue, like I saw OOT have it. But I saw that the original also had some input lag so idk. Also online seemed pretty bad, but thats Nintendo online for ya. So overall, idk

  • oscargarcia1495 Oscar Garcia (@oscargarcia1495) reported

    @CallofDuty I just deleted the game. Im on ps5 looking like nintendo 64. Bugs, lag, Store problems, i still don’t have the blueprint i bought in the fox runner bundle, not to mention no FOV SLIDE! and here you are, acting like the game is successful. Shame on you.

  • crossingsamm santy sam🤶🏼 (@crossingsamm) reported

    @moxchi_fae mine does this & it’s because ~my~ specific user I don’t use for animal crossing even though it’s on my switch :( it’s only games you specifically played on the user attached to your Nintendo account ! If I’m way off then boo Nintendo fix dis ! 🥺

  • patricknotirl patrick (@patricknotirl) reported

    nintendo wii broken

  • BrettHrin Backlog Brett (@BrettHrin) reported

    @NoGravity_Games @NintendoAmerica Not for me. Have all the games. I think the problem is I already owned the last game. I have all current games in the giveawY list.

  • FortifyFri Wesley 🦊👑 (@FortifyFri) reported

    Their lack of action against this issue kind of reminds me of Nintendo ignoring the Joy Con issue, but the JoyCon issue is less extreme

  • TheTemptressAva 🎁 𝓐𝓿𝓪'𝓼 𝓦𝓸𝓻𝓴𝓼𝓱𝓸𝓹 🎁 2.5K (@TheTemptressAva) reported

    @QuietDesu because Nintendo wants to profit off their dumb Joycon drift issues 😑

  • patcheschance 𝙿𝚊𝚝𝚌𝚑𝚎𝚜 𝙲𝚑𝚊𝚗𝚌𝚎 (@patcheschance) reported

    @LittleMissKittn Nice! I'd already had a GameCube, so I actually got just the disc in like a paper envelope with my issue of Nintendo Power. I wish I still had them too, I wanna get more classic systems and games but it is not cheap lol

  • patrick50351663 paatick (@patrick50351663) reported

    @NintendoAmerica it keeps giving me an error 😦

  • FlareHabanero 🌶 @ PRAISE THE KING (@FlareHabanero) reported

    @datnofact It feels that way because it was rushed. Like that fetch quest involving Tingle late into the game was basically compensating for two dungeons being scrapped. Not so coincidentally, Nintendo would try to avoid this problem with future Zelda titles.

  • youcantgoback Will (@youcantgoback) reported

    @virginmedia No everything else is fine at the moment - so likely an issue with the Switch. Nintendo suggest changing a security setting in router.. tho I cant log in

  • jen_spider Jen (@jen_spider) reported

    ******, why not. I'm going to try and stream the nintendo indie world thing tomorrow. Don't expect these regularly I just, wanna stream real bad and am willing to take a risk with my laptop and its heat issues.

  • golillybe lil (@golillybe) reported

    I’m on a mission to resurrect my Super Nintendo (and PlayStation) . My mission is not working.

  • frostedcitrus Andeez Nuts (@frostedcitrus) reported

    You want Steve banned because combos and camping are unhealthy. I want Steve banned because I watched the Nintendo life video on how Minecart is broken. We are not the same

  • FooeyCaptain CaptainFooey (@FooeyCaptain) reported

    @NintendoAmerica Let me get this right... You have a game(Mario Maker 2) w/ glitches, in YOUR GAME! Content creators make levels w/ YOUR ASSETS/YOUR GAME, & you delete their work?! You do it constantly. Your CO is woefully behind on customer service/community interactions SMH

  • DevilsMilitia iain (@DevilsMilitia) reported

    @2Pyca6oKyLlpjfJ @NintendoAmerica sounds like a parent not paying attention issue

  • Dave19Brown83 David Brown (@Dave19Brown83) reported

    @NintendoAmerica I think to those who keep getting crashed might have to upgrade your PC/Laptop, or get a new phone, or ditch your internet service for a better one. Nintendo wants accomplishments, not pity.
