@Rot8er_ConeX @kirm84 @KanesTheName Let this be a reminder to people, do not buy digital content from Nintendo and do not make a Nintendo console your primary because your always gonna be bent over when the console starts having problems, absolute dinosaurs.

@StrikerObi Dusted off the DS Lite, found my cartridge for Zero Mission, and fired it up last night...aaand I need my reading glasses to see what the heck I'm doing on the tiny screen. I don't remember this being a problem last time! @NintendoAmerica , port this sucker to Switch ASAP!

@ArloStuff Just imagine if Nintendo are treating other consumers as poorly as this all throughout the switch lifecycle, the console has had a lot of problems, we'll only find out next gen if those same consumers will return, Nintendo needs to come into the 21st century already

@RMcqueso @NintendoAmerica At the expense of..... oh yeah. Retail workers. I'm not saying every ad should have ALL info about a product, I'm saying it could be worded better. But, that info was in the original tweet. Thank you for being proof of a problem. Learn to infer based on context clues.

@ArloStuff @NintendoEurope Nintendo of Europe is just plain **** in terms of customer service. My switch fan died 4 years after launch and Nintendo of American replaced it free of charge.

@ShinyEmpress_27 @theSpartan9051 PS fanboys are nowhere near as insufferable as XB, PC, or Nintendo ones. They got nothing to say about "being the problem."

@NabetseZitro imagine telling this to all the world doing lewds fanarts of manga/anime/comic famous characters if i draw zelda should i ask nintendo? i know it's "different" but i feel like this is a overexaggerated problem i think it's fine to do a fanart of any kinds unless the owner doesn't

@Stealth40k the game still suffers with pacing issues that I can only hope Nintendo address like they did with Wind Waker HD

@Nibellion So what's on the bingo card for this one? Co-op, live service, mmo (why not), netflix animated show, (no) loot boxes, single-player, battlepass, season pass, mobile, remaster, Nintendo Switch exclusive, purple, starring Ryan Reynolds ? Which ones did I miss?

@FrizeUwU I have a few more: - Nintendo should just make a system stronger than the Xbox Series X and give it Switch Backwards compatibility - Digimon > Pokemon - Bandai Namco should buy out Pokemon Company and help Nintendo make Pokemon Games - Nintendo Streaming Service for PC

How do you fix an error that keeps closing your game down without deleting all your data? 😭 @NintendoUK

@OverblownEgo @KanesTheName @NintendoUK It’s only illegal if he can prove that it was the update that caused the problem. The problem is that he can’t prove it, unless they fix the switch first, which again, would cost him money.

@SirFenV @NintendoAmerica I think Nintendo helped publish and other monetary related issues with the game meaning they might have legal rights to keep it on the platform, a Bayonetta 2 deal. I don’t know for sure though I just remembered hearing about it somewhere.

@KanesTheName @NintendoUK what the fck is wrong with you guys? Why would you charge someone to fix their switch that your recent update you had to pull bugged? You know this is illegal right?

@Cerebus77 @NintendoAmerica I guess I could have broken out the Wii U for Zero Mission, but I just don't want to hook up all that stuff.

@AskPS_UK @EChappell7 No it's cheap Chinese manufactures using cheap parts and putting it at a high cost.. Same as Nintendo joy con drift issue and ignored the lawsuit! Shame on this company they just want money

So why is the Game Boy not getting the Nintendo Switch Online treatment, nor the Classic Edition treatment? Is it because the screen's too small? The lack of a backlit screen for both the DMG-01 and Pocket models? Possible link cable issues if you try playing games wirelessly?

@KanesTheName I hate dealing with Nintendo customer service, they treat people like criminals and are less than polite I find.

@ArloStuff Calling it “fishy” kind of sounds like you’re suggesting that Nintendo intentionally released a bogus upgrade to brick systems and generate repair profit. That’s ludicrous. This is just your typical screw you repair process, much like I’ve gone through with broken Xboxs or PSes.

and i think 2 improves upon 1 in basically every way i can think of which is saying a lot because i already felt like 1 was a pefect game (not literally i do have my problems with nintendo and splatoon but im having fun rn)

@Logan_Fairs190 @ArloStuff @NintendoEurope Yeah, this was also the way I got my joycons fixed. It’s just messed up that the consumer has to be responsible for nintendo’s mistake, and I honestly don’t want to see a wide scale bricking issue occur before nintendo takes the correct action.

@BombosMedallion @CartridgeGames @BassForever20XX Bigger than nothing. If I were Nintendo I'd be highlighting them. QOL is one of the game's biggest problems and they went into the minutia of the WW and TP changes so idk why they aren't here (yet, could be a "what's changed" trailer closer to launch)

- Everyone at Nintendo knew how upset people were when they saw Waluigi was an assist trophy. Ultimate in general ******* a lot of loose ends with characters people want so it'd make sense to end on - Crash is less likely than he was but still is because of all the recent stuff
