    @Canuck_Zero @NintendoAmerica It's lagging quite a bit they need to make a patch update and I think it'd be worth it

  • Christi32079121 Who’s hurting you? (@Christi32079121) reported

    I’ll need to be patients for waiting for Neople announce a DFO on PS4,Xbox and Nintendo switch or DNF duel The reason why I asking that because the Potato computer is not working anymore

  • tuxedobowser Tuxedo Bowser (@tuxedobowser) reported

    It's both funny & sad that the most obvious way Nintendo could fix this would be just to let people remap N64 buttons themselves around. Which they did on Wii U VC lol Yet they still don't do it. Heck it'd be nice for NES & SNES NSO too. To move Select to a comfier spot.

    @NintendoAmerica why is salmon run giving these random internet connection errors if the game was going smoothly for me I was professional part timer now I'm about to rank down from overachiever if it happens again

  • OgOsplats 0g0p0g0 (@OgOsplats) reported

    @NintendoAmerica You have tried to "fix" the communication errors twice now and it's just as bad as ever.

  • girlaboutsong samara (@girlaboutsong) reported

    Wanna play with me like Nintendo but as soon as I grab a controller, issa problem.

  • JpgSilent Silent.EXE (@JpgSilent) reported

    @NoContextSMG4 what if this entire arc is just a ploy for Glitch himself to say "**** nintendo"?

  • OgOsplats 0g0p0g0 (@OgOsplats) reported

    @TheOnlyHKen @NintendoAmerica Connectivity issues are not fixed by the way. On fact they seem the same or worse the. Before the patch. The game is still worth it but I really hope they fix the comm errors soon

  • SpiteDarkBlade (Joe) (@SpiteDarkBlade) reported

    not to be pragmatic, but pokimane is actually pronounced like the nintendo game. As her name is Imane (pronounced e-mon), its a clever play on words to make her username pokimane. However, to avoid issues with nintendo getting pissy because it sounds the same as their copyrighted

    NINTENDO, FIX THE GODDAMN STAMP #Splatoon3

  • FuseBlues ⚫️Khal Drongo (CEV) (@FuseBlues) reported

    @virginmedia I see lots of of others are having issues, but for the last few days, accessing Nintendo eshop, PSN etc has been mostly impossible. Works using mobile hotspot, so the issue deffo at Virgin's end. Any idea what's going on?

  • StaryoungTOTH StarYoung9042 (@StaryoungTOTH) reported

    Matter of fact the problem is a lot of the games that were playing because of Nintendo are being undershot because they're not using the console systems for their full specs when they make the games why make the PlayStation 5

  • c_c_c_ce c (@c_c_c_ce) reported

    @MF_Tanner @NintendoUK use a proxy service if you have to

  • ihat3this conventional wisdumb (@ihat3this) reported

    @truewiddy1 This is MS strategy if you were a moron. Walmart lowers prices to undercut everyone around them Period. MS is expanding their service as far as they can. Including to their competitors. They aren't making it so you can only play on xbox. Its Phones/PC/Nintendo/tablets/TV/PS/xbox

  • plutoniumgrist Evelyn (@plutoniumgrist) reported

    Let's take vrchat, remove the fun, make it look like a nintendo-made wii game, and then try to sell it to companies as a replacement for video conferencing which requires additional hardware, introduces new ergonomic and safety issues, and delivers no benefit facebook moment

  • BluGokuDX BluGoku (@BluGokuDX) reported

    @inktorosalina this is yet another glitch on Nintendo's Splatoon 3 glitch checklist that'll get eventually patched until the next minor/major update comes

  • DcGamer05 DcGamer05 (@DcGamer05) reported

    @SplatoonNA @NintendoAmerica #Splatoon3 is a piece of garbage. Fix your **** you scumbag company that takes no responsibility for the complete **** of a game you released. Still getting comm errors you ******* morons.

  • eL3CT10n eL3CT10n (@eL3CT10n) reported

    @smashbrolink @BethesdaSupport @BethesdaSupport I second this. There is a Nintendo Switch Skyrim awful bug where it crashes when you freeze in survival mode. I am unable to play Skyrim Nintendo Switch version in survival mode because the game crashes when the character freezes. #update and fix this ASAP!

  • DracianFlame Am Dragon, Give Loot (@DracianFlame) reported

    @theduckthatdraw "We're fixing the communication errors! You were actually supposed to be getting MORE! Problem solved! Love, Nintendo"

  • FenrirVolsunga Fenrir Volsunga (@FenrirVolsunga) reported

    @DeezyDevs Playstation didn't kill Sega. Sega was already in financial problems with Sega Saturn and Sega Dreamcast. Both consoles failed to make any kind of deals also their biggest competition was Nintendo and Nintendo didn't have the resources like Sega did.

  • TheTurtleBox TurtleBox (@TheTurtleBox) reported

    @moparful99 @pobOkan @Kotaku Bethesda has confirmed it's pricing falls in line with Nintendo's digital purchase policy. Google is literally free. This is a Nintendo Digital pricing issue, not a Bethesda / Skyrim rereleasing all the time issue.

  • FireSphyferLmao Cursed🔞 (@FireSphyferLmao) reported

    @OmniDraconic Honestly, I agree with that Zelda, Zero Suit Samus, basically any Nintendo Princess are overrated as **** And Pokémon has this same problem

  • eL3CT10n eL3CT10n (@eL3CT10n) reported

    @BethesdaSupport @smashbrolink Please, do! I can’t play #Skyrim on #NintendoSwitch at the moment because the game crashes when the character gets too cold in survival mode. I payed money to play something that is currently unplayable for me, and I suspect many others. Please, fix Skyrim on Nintendo Switch.

  • mrsjanick Cat Janick💖 (@mrsjanick) reported

    Sure fixed those connection errors with this Splatoon update, eh Nintendo? /s 🙄
