I sure wish I knew about my warranty being expired. What date should I expect to start my renewal for the nintendo wii program.

I sent back a nintendo DSI which I had checked out before I sent it back. There was no evidence of being in water once nintendo got the game their excuse for not repairing it was that there was evidence of water damage. If there was evidence of water damage it would have been visible . Product was defective. since 1 st week of use... I will never purchase their products for my grandchildren again....

Only contacted a customer support representative by email at this time. Though I voiced genuine concerns over a couple of Club Nintendo issues (one v minor for their info only, the other more major, which could potentially corrupt my account) I received rude, unhelpful replies, even when I suggested possible diagnosis steps for the 2nd issue.
I have asked for the issues to be forwarded to the helpdesk line manager, but have heard nothing back as yet.

I had the same issue with my Nintendo ds not reading the games after 3 months of purchase. They came up with a adapter issue which it did not have to begin with. Then they had the edacity to charge me 82.00 dollars for the original problem it had and the one they made up or caused. After reading all the same complaints I think they are sending a signal or something to the game to cause this problem. I will never purchase anything from this company again and as soon as I receive the game back from them its going to the trash. The warranty is a sham and their nothing but liars and thieves!

I have mixed feelings about my customer service experience with Nintendo.

First off, let me say that I LOVE Nintendo products. Over the years we have purchased and owned every single console that they have released without incident. So I was confident I was making the right choice when I decided to buy my daughter a Nintendo DSi for Christmas.

At first, it worked as expected, but after a month of owning it we went to play a newly purchased game and the console was not recognizing that a game cartridge was inserted. We tried other games that had previously worked, and got the same response.

I looked online to see if there were any remedies and was directed to call customer service, which I did. I spoke to a wonderful woman who was extremely helpful and understanding. and instructed me on how to submit the DSi for repair. So that particular customer service experience with Nintendo was extremely pleasant and positive.

Fast forward a week. I checked my inbox and noticed I had an e-mail from Nintendo stating that the reason for the DSi not recognizing games was deemed to be physical damage and they wanted $95.00 in order to fix it and ship it back. This presented 2 issues.

#1. I knew there was no way my child could have physically damaged the system as she was never permitted to play with the system unless supervised by myself or my husband.

#2. The $95 repair fee is obscene considering the that the actual retail price of the unit is $99, and they can often be found on sale as low as $69 (what I paid).

I called customer service to get information on what issues they found that lead them to believe that the system was physically damaged.

I spoke to a man who was professional enough, but quite condescending in that he basically made me feel like a villain and told me in not so many words that one way or another we broke the console and would be responsible for the costs.

I stated that wasn't a satisfactory resolution given the above, he offered to take $20 off the repair fee, which would have still left me paying $75....still more than I paid to purchase the console.

He said that was all he could do for me, so I requested to speak to someone who could do more for me and was put on hold for his supervisor.

I must state that during the entire conversation I was extremely pleasant and calm, but firm.

The same customer service representative came back after a few minutes of me being on hold and notified me that he has spoken with his supervisor and was authorized to do a one time Non-Warranty repair at no cost to us.

I am extremely pleased that that was the final outcome, but displeased that I was made to feel like I was somehow scamming the company. It's faithful customers such as myself who continue to pour money into the company that keep a company such as this one thriving. To insult and alienate us does nothing to secure future customer and brand loyalty.

PPL JUST PISS ME OFF.. Nintendo has CRAP customer service.. My son's 3ds has had a problem with the touch screen since 6 months from the date we purchased it. .I have called in three times and I told them the problem was intermittent.. they said if the unit is not malfunctioning at the time of service there is probably nothing they can do.. The last time I called (before today) I was assured that because I called before the wty period was up that if I had the same problem that my unit would be fixed under WTY.. Today they are telling me .. no more wty.. don't care that I have called and reported it TWO separate times. AND it will be $100 plus tax for them to look at it. I can buy a new one for $150.. that is how they TRAP you.. NINTENDO YOU SUCK!

The charging prong for my son's 3DS fell off 4 months after we purchased it. Sent it in to Nintendo for repair and got an email saying it wasn't covered by warranty. Called customer service for an explanation and the first rep hung up on me. Called again and after 30 minutes of arguing I finally held my nose and paid for a repair that should have been covered by warranty. They charged me $50 for a part that sells on ebay for $5.00. Took 2 weeks to get back and when it did get back they forgot to include the SD memory card. So now all of my son's eshop games and save states are gone. I am done with Nintendo. Absolutely the worst customer service experience of my life.

Kayce was a total douch very immature, and very inexperienced. This is one of the worse customer service for Nintendo 3ds

ok so my best bet would be to take the game back because it should still be under warranty i had the same problem with the crappy tech support so i tried spending $4 to get it resurfaced, worked for like 20 mins, then took a dump again, and i took the game back got a different one of same game, works perfectly i have gotten over 5 hours of gameplay off it and have beat the game a few times, so my best option: return the game and exchange it for a new one of the same thing, if still no results, then just get a different game and no stress over mario =]
