    @LognobuSSB It's hard to adapt on wifi, I genuinely only use wifi to play with friends who I can't play with in person (maybe part of why I'm not too great lol) so it's understandable. While the lag could be your fault, Nintendo made the service bad anyways, so its cool to complain lmao

  • Blueisland1111 Blue (@Blueisland1111) reported

    @Ajo1322 The problem is, most companies refuse to give cost/size/scope and most of time we eyeball it. I remember some people saying the new Kirby game shouldn’t count as AAA because it’s cheaper to make than Doom(2016) despite Nintendo never giving out any of that information.

    @BestBuy do u fix card readers for Nintendo switch plz

  • The_Pikaboi Pikaboi (@The_Pikaboi) reported

    @flint617524 @faygoshill Iirc it had the typical early Monolith Soft problem of running too close to the deadline and having to cut content... ...except the nintendo higher ups extended the deadline

  • Harrison101HD Dre Harrison (@Harrison101HD) reported

    Get home from a double shift, fix the house Internet and TV's... feel satisfied... the battery in my Nintendo Switch is dead. And Pokemon Violet's out on Friday. I am being tested.

  • pourCHARDONNAY PIG✨ (@pourCHARDONNAY) reported

    is it possible to get a screen on a nintendo fix or will i have to buy another?

  • Fagatronuchiha where tf is Final Fantasy XVI? (@Fagatronuchiha) reported

    @Locke_PSB @NintendoAmerica Didn’t have any issues on mine? Emulation I assume

  • kybarsfang Send Nudibranchs (@kybarsfang) reported

    Nintendo fix your Splatoon 3 servers challenge. I don’t recall Splatoon 2 having THIS many connection issues 😒

  • zapbutt Rasun | Space turkey merc (@zapbutt) reported

    @MirabilisZ @HormnyCheese You may want to relay this stuff to the creator of the bot to make sure they don't get in trouble then. Copyright laws are no joke, and getting careless almost got even Nintendo in deep trouble a few times with it.

  • Dragnmastralex_ Dragnmastralex (@Dragnmastralex_) reported

    @NintendoAmerica please fix #SuperKirbyClash the network is so unstable I keep wasting my Vigor. maybe make it so you don't spend vigor until you reach the reward/fail screen. also make online quest locked until you finish them offline. too many low levels begin carried.

  • MikeyTGaming MikeyTaylorGaming (@MikeyTGaming) reported

    @ThisIsMater No rules broken. Nintendo has a reputation for taking down monetisation on any videos that have their games in, despite fair use. Many huge YouTubers also suffer this! The channel has made $10k+ since its creation. Currently makes strong 45 per month with no uploads in 1

  • aetheriser 寒い、 (@aetheriser) reported

    @_Lankay @Mia_Marimba @KyochaNDxD actually i do!! take league of legends for example, i constantly complain about Master Yi despite him being irrelevant in comp play! i largely see this problem as Nintendo's inability to develop specials that are well-rounded.

  • DeadLineSMB Dead Line ⭐ (@DeadLineSMB) reported

    Nintendo it’s been 2 months why is the game still hard crashing when you get a network error in the Grizzco lobby

  • Flounder_Liresh Flounder Liresh 🧡⚡️ (@Flounder_Liresh) reported

    @Zillaborg Yeah... it's all looking like a train wreck, meets horrifying car wreck, meets a plane crash... and I agree with you on the Pokémon side of things... Nintendo will be the coping mechanism for us all

  • _Lankay Lankay || dying (@_Lankay) reported

    @aetheriser @Mia_Marimba @KyochaNDxD sure, but a casual player complaining about something is a little different then full discourse and hate like we get here, unless i’m miss-reading something but ya the main issue is nintendo being unable to create well-rounded specials

  • Steven_Harris92 Steven Loren Taylor Harris (@Steven_Harris92) reported

    Hey @NintendoAmerica I am having a issue with a game I bought Thursday it's crashing on me and won't let me do anything. I need help.

  • kylemsguy Kyle Zhou (@kylemsguy@what.entire.website) (@kylemsguy) reported

    @KC7548 @NintendoAmerica @SplatoonJP My main issue is I cannot tell whose suction bombs are on the field, so many dumb deaths simply because I can’t tell a colour.

  • TThunderowl Orange is the new Blunt (@TThunderowl) reported

    Predictions for 2025: Sony will abandon their live service and allow gamepass on Playstation. Xbox will beat PS5 to a pro-model, no one will want it, and PS5 wont do one. Nintendo will announce and/or release a Switch 2, launching with new character packs for Ultimate.

  • PopArchival DegenKen (@PopArchival) reported

    @LegendaryLeads @NintendoAmerica @LadyWarBoss Nothing a heat gun can’t fix, but I prefer it. To me, it’s like a date stamp on an old comic. It’s just a reminder that these things weren’t made to become collectibles.

  • DaniVictHodd Dan (@DaniVictHodd) reported

    @ogre_cave @klobrille Why does it matter that it's 15% of ActiBlizz's revenue? That's still a tiny drop in Sony's total revenue. Sony will be fine without COD like Nintendo is. Especially because how many live service experiences Sony is now creating and buying studios like Bungie to help with that.

    @JListPeter If middle finger Mario Nintendo gets a grey mark ... You guys should have no problems at all.

  • PosterTrash The Abyss (@PosterTrash) reported

    @SifuGame could you guys do us the favor and fix the game on Nintendo switch. I mean I like to buy games and be able to play them too

  • ShaneHE1689 Shane H-E (@ShaneHE1689) reported

    @NintendoUK Question regarding shipping from the Nintendo uk store but how will products be shipping with regards to any potential postal strikes as I've got a very excited 6 year old who is looking forward to this game and don't want an upset child over shipping issues #pleasehelp

  • toolbum toolbum (@toolbum) reported

    Having tonnes of trouble with @NintendoUK support. I had to format my switch to get a game to work. Thought I was safe having Nintendo Online and #ACNH Island backup enabled but they are flat out refusing to help me restore it. Incredibly poor service!

  • Pinkham_Artemis Julia Pinkham (@Pinkham_Artemis) reported

    @NintendoAmerica Fire terra type Sylveon with Pixilate could be broken

  • awoo1989 Michelle❄️🇦🇱🏳️‍⚧️♠️🕷🕸 (@awoo1989) reported

    Is nintendo servers down, ive had two games in a row where someone is disconnecting and stopping the game

  • GhibliFan93 Joey Ford (@GhibliFan93) reported

    @mando_miles @NintendoAmerica But you'll only be renting the game if it's on NSO + Expansion Pack until Nintendo decides to shut down the service. So yeah, no, just no.

  • Dario87201212 Dario (@Dario87201212) reported

    @RealmRoyaleMore @RealmRoyale They fix the game on Nintendo Switch?🤔

  • PEJP_Bengtzone Patrik Bengtsson (@PEJP_Bengtzone) reported

    Taking advantage of the licensing issues regarding anime adaptations seems like a cheap shot. That package deal regarding Nintendo applies to Sailor Moon, since at least in the manga canon, Usagi Tsukino's younger brother is apparently a combined Nintendo/Shueisha enthusiast.

    I love paying Nintendo money to host a match making server, a NAT hole puncher and nothing el-- [A COMMUNICATION ERROR HAS OCCURED]
