  • TheB3ar01 Bear (@TheB3ar01) reported

    @JDBuffington @NintendoAmerica I had the same issue when swapping phones, Nintendo's costumer support can reset the authenticator so you can get logged back in

  • Nightbre Nightbre (@Nightbre) reported

    @zacktatom Basically any game Nintendo makes is marketed towards kids, and it's like... People seriously need to figure this **** out, because it's stuff like this that can get them in some serious legal trouble if they aren't careful.

    @JoeQuesada @urbanbarbarian Think, most good people know that, they don't cause that much trouble, also after Minecraft has been sold, it's more commercial, less autist friendly . . Maybe, if Disney had their own, also Nintendo special play-ground, for autists, poor, troubled, even the sick kids #no_stress

  • dinodphantom37 dinofan37 (@dinodphantom37) reported

    @NintendoAmerica nobody remembers the share service was a thing, so no big loss

  • PocVazatica Skarlet X Golpista (@PocVazatica) reported

    @luigi91201524 What's the problem with indie games? I mean, every Nintendo game plays like an indie.

  • spamtonlover777 ✨the guy with the bizarre shiny luck✨ (@spamtonlover777) reported

    lrt it looks like it just means you won't be able to use those platforms to login to a nintendo acc, and that you won't get points for linking those accounts? it doesn't seem like there's anything else? it's not a huge deal, it seems like

  • DJK1NG_Gaming DJK1NG_Gaming - The Mightiest Disciple 🔥! 🇭🇹 (@DJK1NG_Gaming) reported

    @JuiceMan_V @NintendoAmerica I didnt even know people used Facebook and Twitter to sign in or create their accounts

  • jhcool91 Jackson (@jhcool91) reported

    @UnclePepeloni @mrpyo1 @SocialNomadRach huh? Guess it depends on what area you lived in but the nintendo 64 was readily available at launch in 1996. Hell, they had a problem getting them off the shelves, especially in 97, 98. It was the least selling console of that generation and it wasnt close.

  • GlitchedMythos GlitchedMythos (@GlitchedMythos) reported

    I think the largest problem with @Pokemon/ @NintendoAmerica and how they treated their content creators for suggesting Nuzlockes is the blowback the content creators received for simply bringing up IDEAS. It’s one side to the story we are hearing atm, but that’s no good.

  • Legendary_Puffy Legendary Puffy (she watches Disney+) 🍥 (@Legendary_Puffy) reported

    @NintendoAmerica I feel so embarrased for using Twitter to sign in

  • ITCHYisVegeta ITCHYisVegeta (@ITCHYisVegeta) reported

  • Dawkness92 Sir Dawkness (@Dawkness92) reported

    @NintendoAmerica Y’all dropping a new Nintendo Online or naw? The worst part about the switch your online service. What is going on? That thing is basically still on dial up.

  • DeejayForum Deejay (@DeejayForum) reported

    @BrandonHurles5 @NintendoAmerica @videogamedeals Well you’re in luck - they give you instruction to change it. You want to be tracked across the web using social media login mechanisms?

    nintendo switch 2 will fix your marriage and get your kids back

  • Octoberfleshed Octoberfleshed (@Octoberfleshed) reported

    @NintendoAmerica RIP to this service I just started caring about as soon as you told me it was ending. 😞

  • SilentConjurer SilentConjurer (@SilentConjurer) reported

    @JDBuffington @NintendoAmerica If you can manage to sign In take two step authentication off then redo it on the new phone I had to change my Nintendo account password just so I could get into it tho

  • dorkyraptor DorkyRaptor (@dorkyraptor) reported

    @Ryujiiscool @NintendoAmerica You can link it, just can't use your fb or Twitter account to sign in to Nintendo.

  • ChronoHowler Chrono (@ChronoHowler) reported

    @SILENTKNlGHT Image share has an option to link the social media account to the Nintendo account so you don't have to re-enter login details each time, but according to the link in Nintendo's tweet, linking is gone as well. Nintendo said 3DS/WiiU photo share will go away to interesting enough.

  • HeroOfEquestria Ace Meister (@HeroOfEquestria) reported

    @NintendoAmerica Meh, fair enough, I wasn’t able to sign in on the website nor on MyNintendo to any social media, that task on getting Platinum Points was never an option

  • _ApexStatus Apex (Legends) Status 🦇 (@_ApexStatus) reported

    FYI, Nintendo Switch maintenance is supposed to have ended a while ago. If you're still having issues, I have no idea what's happening. :(

  • ungodlytrinity Trinity of Pomefiore Is A Holy F*ck (@ungodlytrinity) reported

    @JDBuffington @NintendoAmerica There really needs to he a less hassle-free way of doing this because this isn't the first time I've heard of or had this issue (contact Nintendo)

    @Lesbi_Chus Dont believe so - should just be you cant use a twitter account as a sign in for your nintendo account But posting from your switch onto twitter is a seperate process entirely, so dw

  • nils_kh NilsKH (@nils_kh) reported

    @Veno202 @NintendoAmerica From what i have heard these Accounts are the ones, who get hacked the most, so i guess they don't want to deal with that security Problem anymore, similiar to how many others companies also seem to stop making twitter/fb accounts an option. But it could also be something else
