    Experienced worst customer service from #Nintendo. I called 4x to update my shipping address due to a glitch but they insist I change it through UPS. UPS says #Nintendo has restricted access so I can't update address or pick up my package. So what can I do?

  • _oTqnk Tenk (@_oTqnk) reported

    Nintendo needs to fix ******* X Battles again. This **** is unfair as hell

  • Damigamer0211 DamigamerMxUs (@Damigamer0211) reported

    @NintendoAmerica I like Splatoon 3 but its probable that CoD: MW2 wins it because its more popular, Splatoon 3 matchmaking is BROKEN!!!

    @frozenpandaman Thank you for your great product. I am getting the following error since this morning. The error did not occur at 5:15 am today. > Error from Nintendo (in Account/Login step): > "errorMessage": "Invalid token.",

  • Morgan64778635 Morgan (@Morgan64778635) reported

    @Amos27914625 @arkclaimer Except Paramount made a poor design and when they got backlash the rushed an animation studio to fix it, said studio went bankrupt and shut down before the movie when came out. Nintendo talked with Illumination for a long time to make sure it looked good. pt 1

  • Raptor385 Adam Lincourt (@Raptor385) reported

    Now I have to lose everything purchased associated with that #Nintendo Account because someone @NintendoAmerica support doesn’t want to make a correct and heartfelt judgement call on account ownership this time of year.I’ve never had worse customer service.Thanks @NintendoAmerica

  • nanimonull nanimo(null); //🐝 (@nanimonull) reported

    @NintendoAmerica Game's great, but because of Online issues, I say no. D/C'ed. Maps were Updated/ A Player left the Lobby, so your Lobby is gone (for the 100th time) No, you can't re-join a dropped game. Yes, we blame You (not the Switch wifi) Dedicated Servers Never Ever

  • McSnoralot McSnoralot (@McSnoralot) reported

    @NintendoAmerica Supposed to be a 50%/50% win lose battle! But it’s far from it! Can’t win a single battle no matter what weapon I use. The balance issue need to be fixed! Splatoon3 is all for the Bad team winning every battle. Money lost on buying this game! Going back to Splatoon2!

  • VTLuminite GB | Luminite • Vtuber (@VTLuminite) reported

    @mikepapaswan TLDR, the CEO of Panda, Alan, and Nintendo are the reasons why SWT is cancelled and now 80% of their staff has left something with licensing issues over all just another big tourney in the works sadly taken down, Panda and Nintendo are still fighting over whose fault it is

    f generation has been changed by nintendo!!!! 😱😱 no more automatic login to s3s for the time being! (ahh, the nostalgia!)

  • ICqntA1m ICqntA1m (@ICqntA1m) reported

    @KantoClark @Lockstin still, I don’t think it was that much of a major issue for people to make it out of to the point that they have sure the game is buggy but it’ll be fixed, if only I recall another nintendo game that had a very rocky launch (ahem ahem splatoon 3)

  • _Squiddles Ruben (@_Squiddles) reported

    @NintendoAmerica I was playing for several hours the other day and was getting disconnected a ton while just searching for a game and despite patch notes claiming to either help mitigate it or fix it entirely it almost feels like it’s gotten worse since release. Please fix your game Nintendo

  • Leahelm Thomas Osborne (@Leahelm) reported

    @sdcazares1980 @Kaizokuman @IGN Nintendo never has sold consoles at a loss like Sony and MS though, so still have always profited on hardware anyway. And those two "exceptions" you mention have sold gangbusters. They don't have a problem selling software either, they are sitting pretty right where they are.

  • marvincomedy Ya Boi Levi (@marvincomedy) reported

    Got all 8 of the ominous stakes for the last legendary I need and the encounter won't activate. GameFreak @Pokemon @NintendoAmerica please fix Scarlet and Violet. That patch didn't feel like it fixed anything.

  • leafsnivy Z. Winter paw 🏳️‍🌈 (@leafsnivy) reported

    @StarKat1138 Problem with HG SS if you didnt have the dumb mystery event which atm where Department store locked or if you werent subscribed to NINTENDO POWER💪 you were out of luck and. either uaed game shark . But i mean i never found SS to be like the best story it just made

  • BusstavoPlays Brett Buss (@BusstavoPlays) reported

    @Lockstin No it's a sign to make a good game that isn't broken. Also a sign to Nintendo they need better hardware

  • McSnoralot McSnoralot (@McSnoralot) reported

    @NintendoAmerica I have about 1.5 million coins in Splatoon2, have every weapon, every clothing and shoes, and hats. Am Ranked high in Splatoon2, I get to Splatoon3, and the balance issue sucks! Fix It Nintendo! Or I want a Refund!

  • DiegoEs2002 Diego (@DiegoEs2002) reported

    @SkyloftSword The big problem is is that, it lacks basic functionality several technical issues due to continuous unrealistic deadlines that they're given and that's what's holding it back from truly being a great game imo. At least Nintendo's listening though so, at least that's good.

  • JustinWParrish Justin Parrish (@JustinWParrish) reported

    @NintendoAmerica Your matchmaking is garbage and the few times I get decent partners I get a connection error when I'm about to win.

  • GDVH1999 Grochita (@GDVH1999) reported

    @ggnosis_ It makes me furious, nintendo don't give a **** about the drift problem and it's been 5 ****** years

  • lucasbrum lucasbrum (@lucasbrum) reported

    @NintendoAmerica fix these servers, we are paying and it’s still awfully unstable.

  • muzdbuz MuZ (@muzdbuz) reported

    @duplakappa It's sad when people go out of their way to manipulate the truth Xbox has always kept games off PlayStation and Nintendo consoles In fact all three do it to each other and it is only an issue if PlayStation does it? FYI - Buying a publisher with 100's of IP's, is not the same

    @Airplane_AJ @_pinkygg @NintendoAmerica Yes I never died once, even with viola I had no trouble staying alive.
