Nintendo better fix this. How can I store a darn fish but not a DIY card or flowers.

Went to @Tesco to buy my 4 year old a Nintendo Switch game. Spent 10mins choosing. Picked Luigi Mansion 3. He carries it up to the man, who goes out back and tells us it's not in stock. Lots of tears. Customer service says, "People keep stealing them". By staff it seems. Not good

@pitchelyn @Polygon You choose to take seriously a Nintendo game to tell you what your body image was, that's your problem. And yes, obesity kills.

@CashBanacho I would shake him. Tell him to turn it side ways and straight up the Nintendo Switch's candy (redacted). *online service*.

@DrCentz @sheaffer117 This feels really similar to the joycon issue that Nintendo handled. This is too bad too. I had gone all in on stadia and was even ready to buy some additional controllers (for additional people playing, not backups for a seemingly consumable product). All out now

Don't believe them when they say that money is not important. Money solves many problems and pays for your needs like hospital bills, electricity, food, ps5, xbox, pc, Nintendo switch, etc haha

@takanashikiara Fun fact: This meme origin is for a Glitch in Golden Eye 007 for the Nintendo 64 If you move the cartridge a little bit, the characters move like that

Am I the only one that only had a single Pro controller since I got the Nintendo Switch (not even Splatoon2)?? And it’s not like I didn’t smash that controller, I don’t know how y’all got drift issues and all... 4yo and perfectly working

@PushDustIn That shouldn’t be an issue since the image is just the box cover. Now idk how but if Nintendo doesn’t have it and if they have to reach out to a third party publisher I’m sure they could get them from them if they don’t already have them.

@ProChara @Isaac_taken Tip: try sending it into nintendo or looking up videos on how you can fix it yourself if you don't want to buy another controller

@FunimationHelp When are you guys going to work on and fix the website so it functions correctly? Kinda tired of the default lang options being ignored and autoplay not working. Better yet, why not port the Nintendo/Xbox App to PC?!

@Croamias nintendo used to make super sturdy portables that you only broke if you were trying to break them now theyre practically broken right out of the box

@IGN The problem isn't that people don't want co-op games, it's that the best co-op games (usually from Nintendo) can't be played online. On the rare occasion when they can be, the online barely functions.

@NintendoAmerica Better games please. You're not making any money off of these old games anymore anyway. Might as well release some on this service.

@ProChara Nintendo has repairs up for controllers but never actually tries to fix the problem before manufacturing more 😭

@KixNobody Cooling issues? Do you know the failure rate of all new hardware? Xbox, Nintendo and ps all suffer from controller drifting. CPU/GPU failures/SSD failures happen on all new hardware. Functioning fan problems? Infinite unfixable loading screens?

@Polygon Nintendo apologized for any offense the 'overweight' label caused in 2008 lmao. The real issue was tricking people into thinking they could be active in a 4'x4' square

@notlioba Nah, having her come back would completely ruin the emotion and power that came from the end of skyward sword. “Master, I will remain asleep in this sword forever... except I actually won’t I’m lying Nintendo will use me for fan service”

@JrpgNerd @Johnnyytv Easy to fix...you just need a Nintendo security bit screw driver. Once opened use some isopropyl alcohol on a Q-tip, rub it over the contacts. After that take a white plastic eraser and grind it back and forth over the contacts as well then follow up with a quick alcohol wipe. 👍

@NintendoAmerica Like they think we’re going to get those, taking into account that they haven’t improved the server quality and there is always a lot of lag, brought back Mario Bros 35 and stopped adding obscure games to the retro libraries, instead of adding EarthBound or Chrono Trigger for ex.

@TheAdmiralBlack Yeah i heard drifting is a major issue with these Nintendo swirch related controllers
