    .@Target my local target has a two trading card lack limit per day. What's the problem selling the Amiibo cards that way? You're as bad as Walmart. Thanks for disappointing my children and countless others. You support the scalping problem #amiibo #sanrio #nintendo

  • abednadirss s☀️nny (@abednadirss) reported

    to some extent you can’t blame target as a whole. overall this is nintendo’s issue cause they KNEW people wanted these cards and decided to sell them at only ONE store???????

  • NerdEnthusiast Pattie (@NerdEnthusiast) reported

    @Target I expect this level of service from Walmart, not Target. Shame on y'all and on @NintendoAmerica for proving once again they hate their consumers.

  • likescaprisuns sugar honey ice tea (@likescaprisuns) reported

    Hey everyone!! I have a broken Nintendo switch I need repaired !!! It’s a rail issue causing the right joycon to not connect to the console in handheld mode.🙃 looking for a reliable someone that knows a lot about video games in the Knoxville area to fix this for me!!

  • RevolutionRidly Ridley Revolution (@RevolutionRidly) reported

    @Mythial_Sabre Yeah, it has happened to other amiibo too, I just checked. Nintendo's Japanese amiibo listing pages are usually accurate, so I find it odd they'd mess this up/ provide errors. I will test all newly listed games that weren't there previously, will provide info for my findings asap

  • Gattsu25 𝐆ᴀᴛᴛsᴜ (@Gattsu25) reported

    Thank you for the error, @NintendoAmerica, telling me that restarting my Switch will not fix the issue. That was a lie. Totally worked.

  • ProNippleCover king cool (@ProNippleCover) reported

    @NintendoUK Cool, now fix the games online you ******* hacks, I paid 60 for the game, 40-50 for both character passes, 300 for the console, 25 for a controller adapter, 60 for a controller and for a full years online, all for this **** to not be functional online. Fix the ******* game.

  • BluSatire K.K. Slide A ****🏁🐍 (@BluSatire) reported

    its funny tho nintendo say indie presentation, everyone mad, microsoft does it, it aint no problem lol

  • Kayleemclifford Kaylee🌚🌿 (@Kayleemclifford) reported

    @NintenTalk Hey Pat! A worker at my target told me it was against Targets contract with Nintendo to sell them in stores before the 29th.. looks like some places are going to be in trouble for putting them out😬

  • myoceangrave ǝuıʇsıɹɥɔ (@myoceangrave) reported

    note that this is mainly a corporate target problem for choosing this method of release, which was a poor choice, and poor communication to team members. but its also a corporate nintendo problem for choosing exclusivity to one store and making supplies limited.

  • lylukk Eilidh (@lylukk) reported

    @Glowpinkstah they weren't released today in the UK for some reason 😭 Nintendo customer service saying they don't know when they'll be released

  • AidenSc89400474 Spigglesworth (@AidenSc89400474) reported

    Hey #Target & #Nintendo , how does it feel that etsy sellers are making products and providing better customer service for your own IPs. At least etsy sellers can handle their own stock.

  • Miss_Nerd_Queen ✨Karissa✨💖🎮😘 (@Miss_Nerd_Queen) reported

    Okay so I know I shouldn't just blame Target. @NintendoAmerica Why only sell at Target for pickup only? I respect the only two per person but literally that is still not working! 😫

  • EvoDeus Darren Terwilliger (@EvoDeus) reported

    @Cookie__Sophie Also Ivy the Kiwi A good 1-button experience that barely got promoted by XSeed, so literally nobody bought it outside of those who had game mags like Nintendo Power. The mobile porters forgot they ported it, as it has issues on newer phones. So that port gets review bombed now.

  • _Vecherom Vecherom (@_Vecherom) reported

    Let's not forget that Nintendo has always had a supply issue, and an even worse black market issue when it comes to really any sort of release.

  • NerdEnthusiast Pattie (@NerdEnthusiast) reported

    I expect this level of service from Walmart, but not Target. Shame on y'all and also on @NintendoAmerica for showing once again they hate their consuners.

  • myoceangrave ǝuıʇsıɹɥɔ (@myoceangrave) reported

  • babyhindu SAY THEIR NAMES (@babyhindu) reported

    My heart is so broken @animalcrossing I’ve been to 3 different targets & called 10, everyone is outttt and sold out within an 1hr 🥺 please @NintendoAmerica tell me there will be a restock 😩

  • i_am_jonjon JØNJØN (51%)🤷‍♂️ (@i_am_jonjon) reported from Greenville, South Carolina

    Fix your servers to stop lagging and give me my GSP points. It's ridiculous that every time I win I get no points, thanks. @NintendoAmerica

  • Selfish_Teeth Mick (@Selfish_Teeth) reported

    @AweSimPosSim @NintendoAmerica @Target It took me 45 minutes to even secure a pack. Then I get there to pick up a different order and heard another customer talking to an associate about it. After I got my other order I stepped over and said I was having the same issue. The LOD was called up and was very helpful (1/?$

  • robinsnest_01 Robin (@robinsnest_01) reported

    2/n ...really hoping this proceeds, but looking at the hot mess of this launch, I'm doubting it. How are you going to fix this, @Target @NintendoAmerica @sanrio ? Should NOT have been in store purchases when it was posted pick up/ drive up only. Should NOT do releases where bots

  • Trainwreck1142 🚂🚃Train-wreck🚃🚃 (@Trainwreck1142) reported

    Why is it that I can get the Nintendo exclusive items before the scalpers do no problem but the ps5 is still impossible to get

  • Tyenuki Tye (they/them) 🦝🐕 (@Tyenuki) reported

    @Fae877 Oh no, I’m sorry! Did you manage to get them in the end or not? I assume Nintendo will release more stock sometime soon if you missed out this time, though… Not sure if Target actually sold out so fast or if it was mostly just their site ******* up and giving people errors… ._.

  • heyaksha birthdaynini 🌸 (@heyaksha) reported

    i didn’t realize getting the sanrio amiibo cards would be a problem but hey @Nintendo and @Target it’s my bday

  • KelliConan 🐶🐰Kelli Franklin🎧🎳 (@KelliConan) reported

    @RedBardIsCool @Target @NintendoAmerica They can't blame the pandemic for this. This has been a longtime problem for Target when they have an item they have limited amounts for launch put on the "order pickup only". Same setup for Target with the same exact outcome as per usual.

  • hecksmaniac lil ****** man (@hecksmaniac) reported

    @LoveVitocris The best part is that I was spamming the checkout button & then it was removed from my cart and store LOL - Nintendo does know better. These cards aren't new and came out years ago (not in US) and had the same issue. People were selling the EU/UK/JP versions for hundreds.

  • EmberTheKitsune Ember (@EmberTheKitsune) reported

    @PlayApex please fix nintendo switch voice chat it’s horrendous

  • FerquinRoot Ferquin N.C. Root | ファ-クイン ル-ト (@FerquinRoot) reported

    @ChrisTheHoff Yeah. I don't get how this happened. Nintendo seriously needs to fix this ASAP with restocks. Store exclusivity and low allotments is garbage.

  • anthony_kreuz Antuan Von Der Kreuz (@anthony_kreuz) reported

    @Target Imagine getting an exclusive with @NintendoAmerica @animalcrossing just to have issues with the page and not enough stock.

  • Highberry el wiwi (@Highberry) reported

    Sorry to say this but the guy that talked to me at German Nintendo Customer Support didn't give a **** about my problem
