  • WeAreDJC DJC (@WeAreDJC) reported

    Currently playing SR4 on Nintendo switch and the mission, "Retrieve Matt Miller" has crashed on me 3 times in a row. Please @SaintsRow don't make me use that stupid mechsuit/robot again. In all seriousness, is there a fix to stop this bug? I really want to finish the game lol.

  • DrewNM98 Drew the Nostalgia Main (@DrewNM98) reported

    @LukaUnderground @EmperorLemon The examples he cited for mass disliking videos are games literally not working, censoring someone for supporting a country, and an over pricing issues. Nintendo's unfriendliness to emulation and tournaments are hardly reasons to mass dislike an unrelated video.

  • VgDiegazo Diegazo.. VA (@VgDiegazo) reported

    @CJP_Libra @DynamoSuperX I don’t see any problem with that, there are business practices that are more consumer friendly and if there is a standard, people have the right to not like when Nintendo doesn’t follow that standard. Move on

  • ChrisMerrell8 Chris Merrell (@ChrisMerrell8) reported

    @NintendoAmerica You know, Twilight Princess and Skyward Sword were the ONLY games to have this problem. This isn't a bragging point @NintendoAmerica, this is call an "expectation." It's this weird concept where people assume that really minor issues / annoyances aren't going to be a thing.

  • norway_rob RobOfNorway (@norway_rob) reported

    @NintendoAmerica Did you fix the drift?

  • J0rdanWilliam5 Jordan Williams (@J0rdanWilliam5) reported

    @PlayerEssence This guy is also using MK8 DLC that was released during probably the worst financial times in the Nintendo home console history. Nintendo was desperate for revenue so they made sure it was cheaper than it should have been to maybe lure in sales. No such problem anymore.

  • exebooks126 JXJacob eBooks (@exebooks126) reported

    Wait a ****, glitch time, I need to Nintendo hardware now?

  • DrewNM98 Drew the Nostalgia Main (@DrewNM98) reported

    of available legacy content, and Joycon drift. Those issues impact the whole of Nintendo customers, and are not ones we are shy talking about. Just because we didn't remain angry about what was in the end a more niche issue does not make us synchophants.

  • OfficialTGdudes TheGamingDudes (@OfficialTGdudes) reported

    I personally believe Nintendo has to address some key issues surrounding the switch. 1) Battery 2) Bluetooth functionality 3) party chat There are a few more. I do love the switch, this is not a hate post. Just something I’d like to see in the future. #NintendoSwitch

  • Obitoxkun Naruto🍥22194🦉👑 (@Obitoxkun) reported

    @OlriQ_ Nintendo are acting like apple,they’ll never speak about their defective analog! I wouldn’t be surprised if they don’t fix it cz if u think about it,its a good way for business like why people keep buying their joycons if it wasn’t for this issue?But i really hope they fix it man

  • thecaulitrinity Cauliflower 🥕 (@thecaulitrinity) reported

    @Blakey_Beans I mean, it was Nintendo’s first time making a 3D mario game so yeah. I’d say the DS version is worse than the original cuz while it added more gimmicks, it made the game more broken

  • neuromuse neuromuse (@neuromuse) reported

    I understand if the guy in our neighborhood running the deafeningly loud generator needs oxygen or has health problems, but I'll bet anything he's sitting in 60F AC playing Nintendo simply because he can

  • SmirnoffTheRed Joseph R Petrolawicz (@SmirnoffTheRed) reported

    Also, @NintendoAmerica, your website does not make it simple to find direct customer service help, which is disappointing, and means we get to have this convo here in public. Lifelong supporter of your products here.

  • Vicopter Bictor (@Vicopter) reported

    Want a relationship like a Nintendo 64.. fun to spend hours with and every issue easily fixed by blowing on it and then shoving it back in

  • BaddieWinter WinterBaddie (@BaddieWinter) reported

    Anyone having connection issues when they play any form of Speed Golf Online? It is as if, every game I try to host we get kicked.. What is the cause?????? HEEEEELP!!! @NintendoAmerica #MarioGolfSuperRush

  • DrewNM98 Drew the Nostalgia Main (@DrewNM98) reported

    I think we were willing to forgive Nintendo's actions for a hype announcement because those issues weren't ones that directly impacted us. There are other things we still constantly call Nintendo out about like the price of their games, lack...(5)

  • MarioPartyMr Mr. MarioParty (@MarioPartyMr) reported

    @CaptainGlack @cupramen_0 @NintendoAmerica i have played most all large first party releases. not once have i run into a problem. if graphics were the issue, at least pokemon sw/sh gave you a valid argument. but no, it's not graphics. its something that is hard to find problems with.

  • psb1239 psb123 (@psb1239) reported

    @8bit_Spazzy There's something I would like to say regarding the 1st of these theoretical camps. That being that there are people out there who defend Nintendo, but not on everything. Me for example. I defend the online, but I do acknowledge the problems with Joy-Con Drift.

  • DNoshit Break (@DNoshit) reported

    @Main_FN He appears to be playing on a Nintendo Switch at his local chucky cheese with a broken microphone

  • Hammer_Toe Grungy Toes (@Hammer_Toe) reported

    @DianeHeartbeat @BrainDumpTweets @NintendoAmerica If you spent that much money on something they'll fix for free you have no right to be judging anybody

  • alexthomps_ Alex Thompson (@alexthomps_) reported

    @NintendoAmerica I just bought my switch for my nephew for Christmas and already the right hoy con has stopped recognizing the switch. It won’t work at all! Can I get a new hoy con?! What’s going on? I’ve heard this has been a problem?!

  • mayabrainrott trellthemayasimp (@mayabrainrott) reported

    @knucklesthehot the only problem is that nintendo would have censored it somehow probably

  • blockbusterOG BlockBuster (@blockbusterOG) reported

    @NintendoAmerica You fix your drift problem on your controllers?

  • DrewNM98 Drew the Nostalgia Main (@DrewNM98) reported

    a fad, at least to most fans. To those of you who were affected and are still angry, I imagine you feel frustrated that we don't care about the issue now and aren't protesting in the streets, mass disliking random Nintendo vids. In other words, you see us as the obstacle.(4)

  • purgatorylupy 🔞Purgatory Lupy🔞 (@purgatorylupy) reported

    @UrsoFofinho dude qwq why dont u send to nintendo to fix this?? qwq

  • Hero_Shark Eccentric Eel 🇺🇸 (@Hero_Shark) reported

    @didyouknowgamin Are you guys gonna do a video on the PS5’s Dualsense drift now that it’s just as much of an issue? Or are you just gonna ignore that and prove yourselves it be nothing but Nintendo haters?

  • SaraAB87 Sara (@SaraAB87) reported

    @iFixit I think Nintendo fixes this for free but in reality if you play a lot with joycons the best thing to do is to have a stock of parts on hand to fix them when they break. Not the first and last controller to have these kinds of problems either.

  • SoonerFanInMO1 LilSoonerFanInMO (@SoonerFanInMO1) reported

    @bullexto1 Doesnt help that P5 itself has no problem being on Nintendo consoles P5 Strikers, Persona Q2, and Joker in Smash All this does is just pile on the confusion and frustration that these fans understandably feel

  • ScottofAstora Scott of Astora (@ScottofAstora) reported

    @FranchiseWario Was this an issue of Nintendo Power? If so, what Number?
