  • mmackenzie1902 Maddie (@mmackenzie1902) reported

    One of the biggest problems of uni from home is that the over the last 2 days I’ve written 471 words of a 3000 word assignment - BUT I’ve watched a lot of YouTube videos about obscure early 2000’s Nintendo games

  • Moron_Phatboi Moron Phatboi 🖥🖥🖥⌨️🖱 (@Moron_Phatboi) reported

    Thanks @Microsoft my Xbox one controller has being having drift issues, now one of the triggers is playing up. Smart arses decided to use specialist security screws so I can't even attempt a repair. Who you think you are? @NintendoUK ? FUUUUCK SAAAAKE

  • CartmanCoD Carter (@CartmanCoD) reported

    Super hyped for the new Pokémon Snap. The original is the first game I owned. My parents and I thought my brand new Nintendo 64 was broken because we couldn’t find the Z button, which is required to press to start the first level of the game.

  • NAMCOnade Nam Lemonade #AutismAcceptanceMonth (@NAMCOnade) reported

    in all seriousness tho, when even **children** are sueing you, you have a problem and inb4 "Nintendo replace them for free!!!!" / "Its e-z to replace them urself!!!" Have u considered that joystick drift shouldnt be happening in the first place? On any controller?

  • mgardne45108637 Michael Gardner (@mgardne45108637) reported

    @NintendoUK I have bought a FAULTY PRODUCT from your store and NOBODY/DEPARTMENT WILL TAKE OWNERSHIP OF THE ISSUE. You just don't care. Its very disappointing that I trusted that something I bought from your store will be of good quality. NOT HAPPY.

  • castlewitch_ Abbie 💀 YANFEI WANTER (@castlewitch_) reported

    how nice is nintendo? bc if my switch charger isnt the problem and my switch has broken less than a year after ive gotten it and they wont help me i will have a breakdown dndjfjfjg

  • Mardukas13 Mardukas (@Mardukas13) reported

    @VG247 Are we raising this stuff again? Ask Google Play, App Store, Nintendo eShop, PlayStation Store how much they charge. The same 30%. Why Steam's the issue, then?

  • thomasnet_mc Thomas (@thomasnet_mc) reported

    So yeah, Super Mario Party has good online, and Nintendo actually listened. To me? Not sure (even if I pleaded for relays to finally be used in NEX), but they happen to read this - please don't keep this lib private, let every dev enjoy relay service :)

  • HamNCheddar HamNCheddar (@HamNCheddar) reported

    Hey @NintendoAmerica there's a bug in Mario Party online mode where you make me ******* lose every time. Would be great if you could get on the horn with those devs and fix it.

  • attackonidol ᴀʀɪ 🌼 (@attackonidol) reported

    @mirimcnuggies @animalcrossing As if the people cussing out Nintendo aren't being mean in their own way? There's no need to resort to complaining in that way. And I was speaking generally in the first place. If you didn't get that, it's not my problem :/

  • RobertADeMeijer Robert August de Meijer (@RobertADeMeijer) reported

    @SamuelWRoberts This was reported in Nintendo Power issue 18 in November 1990.

  • TheBSGod BSGod🇵🇷🏳️‍🌈☭ (@TheBSGod) reported

    N then we had DJ Nintendo n La Luna too West being a creep, Nez saying stupid ****, BBB being a complete ******** Just bc there are less kids don't mean nothing, it means that our assaults and issues n everything else are affecting mostly adults, which isn't anything better

  • MirageGamer6485 Tony (@MirageGamer6485) reported

    @DieselBusters @NintendoAmerica Google Stadia? Why would a flopped streaming service be better than anything?

  • Mimikqyu2037 🏳️‍🌈Mimikyu🏳️‍⚧️ (@Mimikqyu2037) reported

    @JustmeRclol @NintendoAmerica my problem is really just the super high price considering the game doesn't have a lot of content

  • inosbbyhair lina / formally known as mars (@inosbbyhair) reported

    @NintendoAmerica i don’t understand how you’re the one of the biggest names in your industry and somehow have: ****** consoles the worst customer service faulty programming

  • patricknotirl patrick (@patricknotirl) reported

    nintendo wii broken

  • pelican_food pelican food | ESA Slander Account™️ (@pelican_food) reported

    @MatttGFX like this doesn't justify Nintendo's copyright abuse or the FGC's own menagerie of problems but the Smash community doesn't deserve **** lmfao

  • ErikObviously ObviouslyErik (@ErikObviously) reported

    More free gubbins: 9 Nintendo Wii games (0 duplicates) 8 Atari 2600 games (5 duplicates) 1 Atari CX-24 controller (broken'ish, but upon opening it in an attempt to repair it it's amazing it ever even worked)

  • Zari_Wari Wari FunnyMan (@Zari_Wari) reported

    @TheRagingPikmin @SoulSlayer203 Exactly, this is a Nintendo only problem. That is what I'm getting at this whole time :v

  • iris_sucks Iris! (@iris_sucks) reported

    @calciumyum I don't even have a ps4 anymore because my mom threw it away, mistakenly thinking it was broken. :( I'm also too scared to ask them to buy a nintendo switch lite even though I really want to play animal crossing.

  • AesopMafia AE$OP Mafia (@AesopMafia) reported

    America, picking any problem And as many of the super nintendo Sega genesis Now I got a ******' bored Turn it to arrange

  • scottysibs scott sibley (@scottysibs) reported

    @NintendoUK very poor service . Who do I contact to dispute a alien that was purchased less than 4 months ago that you are saying it is out of warranty or is Nintendo’s policy to buy a switch For 200 pound and then throw it in the bin

  • DawidPatryk666 Dawid aka Bonus Bob (@DawidPatryk666) reported

    @front_rayman @HylianHero98 Sony never owned Crash. The only companies that can decide if Crash will be in Smash or not are ofc Nintendo who will be at E3 and the current owner of Crash's IP- Activision who won't be at E3. However, Activision not being at E3 doesn't necessarily mean that Crash can't be +

  • ItsMrTruth Mr. Truth (@ItsMrTruth) reported

    Of course Nintendo doing this would mean their admitting that joycon drift is an issue and have implications for the several lawsuits against them.

    @Facebook can you please help me with an issue ? I sold a nintendo switch about a month ago and haven't received payment. who do i contact for this issue ?

  • djsonic21 DJ/JoJo ♡❤️♡ #UnBanNairo (@djsonic21) reported

    @NiceGamerALTO Thats the problem I can't lmao, Nintendo removed the use of both hearts which is why I can't use it in my tag

  • galaxy03__ galaxy ♂️ (@galaxy03__) reported

    @GifZelda I would say that Zelda Four Swords ss a Nintendo Switch Online free-game to promote the service. As paid ones, Paper Mario TTYD and Pokémon GoD. PM so people get to know old PM games and PGoD as to have a different concept of what a Pokémon main plot can be about.
