    @randyorlandy switch lite can't pair with pro controller or other joycons iirc, and they break in like a few months i think? idk look it up, it's a very well known issue that people are very annoyed about but nintendo doesnt do anything

  • MCwreckshin Sweeney Toad (@MCwreckshin) reported

    @ShaggyMN1975 @NintendoAmerica It seems to happen much more frequently online, but it has even happened to me a few times offline as well. Hopefully they address this issue soon.

  • MarinaXStudios Marina 🐑 (@MarinaXStudios) reported

    All that trouble and Nintendo didn't send me the right item... Where's my Xenoblade art book Nintendo?! 🥲

  • Turbohero23 Jayhero (@Turbohero23) reported

    @NintendoAmerica How about you fix the A.I. in this game then I'll think about it. Also tell NextLevelGames to go back to their old roots of how the 2 previous games were. They're supposed to be like that not like this.

  • ExpandDong15 ExpandDong (@ExpandDong15) reported

    @NintendoAmerica *Insert fix Boom Boom reply here

  • thefinestbutter Dream Caster (@thefinestbutter) reported

    @NintendoAmerica Did you fix multiplayer yet?

  • GaucheArtist Kale (@GaucheArtist) reported

    Gist is that the Nintendo 64 I got from my grandparents didn't have the AV cables, so I purchased what I thought were good cables from Amazon, but they've broken after a single plug-in/plug-out. Looking at reviews of other cables shows they're equally garbage.

  • thegamingguru39 The Gaming Guru (@thegamingguru39) reported

    @NintendoAmerica No, fix the goalie AI

  • minifig1871 Minifig187 (@minifig1871) reported

    @NintendoAmerica Nope because of them clubs have tryhard players that are bullying and cheating in matches by abusing the lag and not getting hit after their characters got tackled on top of that their make others players rage quit

  • Dave19Brown83 David Brown (@Dave19Brown83) reported

    @NintendoAmerica You know you're stacking up LOSSES if you: Play a better game (like Xenoblade 3), say Wave 2, say Wave 3, say ratio, saying Daisy should've been at the start, sticky ball glitch, demand Splatoon 3, and not understanding how the seasons in the game work. Give it a chance.

  • Superplushflims SuperPlushFilms (@Superplushflims) reported

    Another problem is that he only mentions nintendo games and only one indie game, so might be saying “what’s the problem he mentioned those game”, the problem is that he doesn’t mentions other games that has bad graphics.

  • DoomAssistMe Victor Von Doom, PhD (@DoomAssistMe) reported

    @Stealth40k @PlayerEssence The only Nintendo game in trouble right now is Advance Wars.

  • bbillsfan808 Alton V (@bbillsfan808) reported

    @NintendoAmerica Show the competition? I can only connect to one friend online maybe fix that so we can actually play against more than one person online..

  • CypheredInd J.A. Svoboda (@CypheredInd) reported

    @JennaJohanna_21 Had tried writing a few times. Had problems. I was a c/o at the time in a p/c segregation unit. An inmate, Nintendo, broke the us vs them mentality and opened up to me. He was writing a novel. It was a beautifully hand written series of shorts with a high Victorian prose about

  • Superplushflims SuperPlushFilms (@Superplushflims) reported

    My problems with the video is that he only mention nintendo games and only one Indie game, and not talking about the big triple A games that have bad graphics, but he also forgot to mention what makes a game fantastic that is the gameplay.

    @NintendoAmerica How about you fix the A.I. in this game then I'll think about it. Also tell NextLevelGames to go back to their old roots of how the 2 previous games were. They're supposed to be like that not like this.

  • PownicMania5000 PownicMania (@PownicMania5000) reported

    @LazyBot5000 I LITERALLY said in the thread that Nintendo obviously was the one that does the update decisions, but these games have some design problems in them that can't really be just "They were rushed by Nintendo"/ You literally did not read my thread

  • pine165 SurgicalPine165 (@pine165) reported

    Not to mention the excessive Bloom on some maps and BR like what the heck and it's only ever a problem on Nintendo switch

  • jvhxc13 Jared Van Houten (@jvhxc13) reported

    If only Nintendo had a service like Xbox Game Pass

  • ouija_aunt Ouija 👹🌺 (@ouija_aunt) reported

    i also found my old nintendo ds but the charger for it is broken.. do they sell chargers for these anymore?

  • BCynical_ 𝘽𝘾𝙮𝙣𝙞𝙘𝙖𝙡_ (@BCynical_) reported

    @MldGhost @Nick_Marseil It just shows the problem Xbox has had since the mass acquisitions; They have more announced games than the competition, yet very little released. Both Sony and Nintendo have announced and released games in the same time since a lot of Xbox's game announcements.

  • ACaveDweller1 ACaveDweller (@ACaveDweller1) reported

    @jtArtsMedia @NintendoUK Ah ya that might a problem then

  • ContentOrignal Envoid (@ContentOrignal) reported

    @Th3_only_Blubbu @DyingLightGame Maybe, don't play on a Nintendo switch. Problem solved

  • WingeDaemon Crizaldy (@WingeDaemon) reported

    @SacredWolf19 @NintendoAmerica yeah i did, i called customer service and they said they will be shipping the special edition items sometime near fall, they said they had no confirmed date, they were not prepared

  • Shuffle2106 Shuffle (@Shuffle2106) reported

    @MCwreckshin @NintendoAmerica It's probably not even a glitch. You just have to swing stronger than before. It's probably to avoid 10 strikes in a row lol.

  • ironminer888 Tyler ✌️🗿✌️ (@ironminer888) reported

    The live service model works best for free games like #Fortnite or #Hearthstone, but IMO it really doesn't make sense for games you already have to pay $60 for (glaring at Nintendo). I understand the logistics, retaining customer interest make the numbers go up.

  • Karby64 Dilo (@Karby64) reported

    @NintendoAmerica I'm begging for you to actually learn what live service games are like if you wanna make them so bad

  • samtendo09 Samtendo09 (@samtendo09) reported

    @PownicMania5000 This makes me think if Camelot were being sincere or not considering the problems they caused onto themselves. I can also say that regarding current Paper Mario games, with the only fault I put on Nintendo or at least the marketing team as a whole is the “mandates”.

  • LilOceanMan Oscar (@LilOceanMan) reported

    @RaineyOvalle Probably cause some of the parts are made by different companies so there's bound to be some compatibility issues, not like a switch or something to where all the hardware made by Nintendo

  • Whifflez_YT Whifflez (@Whifflez_YT) reported

    @brallivar @Jesterface84 @NintendoAmerica it's legal to jailbreak but it can be a bannable offense when you play online but Nintendo Online is a trash service anyway so not like they're missing out lol
