  • algebra_sloth Algebra Sloth (@algebra_sloth) reported

    The fact people can literally win in smash online when I have a 3 stock lead and then they have to start camping and ******* with the internet shows Nintendo has no idea how to run an online service

  • mirai_requiem Mirai the Steve tech guy (@mirai_requiem) reported

    @JorgeTheLad you godlike af, we gotta get games at some point if nintendo decides to fix their **** i wanna get bodied

  • TazoGumball2345 #StopAsianHate | Gumball (@TazoGumball2345) reported

    @nescartridges It honestly makes me wonder what design Sakurai would go with for Crash if he ever gets into Smash. Obviously Nintendo is smart enough to not even touch the tattoo parlor looks, but I am curious whether Sakurai will go for the classic PS1, his N Sane or 4 aesthetic for him.

  • chlorineforests Alex🏳️‍⚧️|cw tøp|STREAM OKO|STREAM CMBYN (@chlorineforests) reported

    @Target I’m really upset with y’all. You and @NintendoAmerica need to fix this

  • Tom50827722 Tom (@Tom50827722) reported

    @GAMER1984dude @AmiiboNews And if he gets doxed and someone gets hurt because they SWAT him or some ****, I’m the one in trouble for leaving the breadcrumbs. This is the end of the line. Nintendo stocking more than 72 a store would help way more in combating this assetry.

  • __AlishaMarie Alisha Smith (@__AlishaMarie) reported

    @Hyrule_101 @NintendoAmerica You lucky. Lucky dog. 🥺 the rest of us have been high key suffering. I myself have gone through THREE controllers ALL of which drift. My BOYFRIEND has also gone through TWO. I bought two pro controllers to alleviate the problem and THOSE drift as well. 😒 there are lawsuits

  • OtakuMan OtakuMan (@OtakuMan) reported

    @MojangSupport I sign in on my Nintendo Switch, and then try to access the world / server list. It took several minutes to load and did not load at all on my first attempt. Are there still known issues with Minecraft on Nintendo Switch?

  • couchpotats13 JC aka Couch (@couchpotats13) reported

    @WolfPhoenix0 @InfernoOmni Anyone else praying he comes back to Nintendo to fix whatever it is they’ve become since he left?

  • orlanhouse Orlanhouse (@orlanhouse) reported

    Smoking broken windows, playing my nintendo ⚡

  • 3areme StacyNikkiClarity (@3areme) reported

    Just had to get high to tell my older sister I was not going to help her buy my niece a phone since she spent $400 on a Nintendo switch for her birthday. Not my problem. Last time All I got was "no" when I texted her. So much Clarity when high

  • DragonMstrAlex Matt (@DragonMstrAlex) reported

    @ThumbRapid1000 No problem! I just don't want you to end up with a fake card and the net is notorious for fakes. Looks like Best Buy and Target carry the 512gb cards. Some are even Nintendo branded cards. Still checking other places. Hope this helps!

  • TazoGumball2345 #StopAsianHate | Gumball (@TazoGumball2345) reported

    @nescartridges It honestly makes me wonder what design Sakurai would go with for Crash if he ever gets into Smash. Obviously Nintendo is smart enough to not even touch the later 2000s looks, but I am curious whether Sakurai will go for the classic PS1 look, his N Sane or 4 design for him.

  • OneEyeGringoJoe Joe (@OneEyeGringoJoe) reported

    @Nibellion @Nintendo I'm ready to preorder my Super Switch. Are BotW 2 and MP4 launch titles? If so, I want those too. Where do I put my money? I dont want to chasing illusive inventory, having enough trouble finding a Series X. Let's get this done!

  • mootzilla slime minister of the uk 🏳️‍🌈 (@mootzilla) reported

    @galuade_ fwiw 8bitdo controllers are really nice on switch, nintendo pro controllers (used to, not sure if it got fixed) have issues with the dpads not registering some directions properly

  • TissueBomb TissueBomb (@TissueBomb) reported

    @KachewPete I think a system as hackable as the Switch is (so walking a literal tightrope) shouldn't be prioritized over online that has built-in lag frames regardless of whether you're using a LAN adapter or not Like yeah good for you Nintendo you stopped the silent minority of cheaters ig

  • Sonicboom3475 Sophie Edon (@Sonicboom3475) reported

    @PlanetNate1 @PlayStationUK @PlayStationEU Still have to pay Xbox membership though, I have no trust towards Microsoft I use to have a Xbox 360 and I hated it due to a lot of problems like the buttons being different and harder to memorise since I was use to the controls of Nintendo console buttons being the opposite

  • Testicoolrthanu Testicool (@Testicoolrthanu) reported

    yo @NintendoAmerica @Nintendo please fix your terrible online in Super Smash Bros Ultimate. Last patch, you introduced some sort of encrypting in the netcode that tracks for hacks in shooters, making your game much slower online. Are you trying to make it worse or do you not care

  • Mrwheels96 Mrwheels_96 (@Mrwheels96) reported

    Do to some issues with the game audio on displaying on the the Nintendo Switch I had to end stream I will stream tomorrow I’m sorry

  • AgentCucco Ellie | Cuccommissions are open! (@AgentCucco) reported

    Players: Nintendo, pls fix smash ultimate online. Nintendo: ****** the online even harder like a boss*

  • zenmachinegun protagunist (@zenmachinegun) reported

    @Nicomagi normally I'd tell you not to be a part of the problem, but the nintendo licensed adapter is 30$ which is insane. I guess you could buy a cheaper 12$ one but it'd probably set yr house on fire.

  • OtakuMan OtakuMan (@OtakuMan) reported

    @MojangSupport My second attempt join a realm resulted in an error. “Failed attempting to join realm. Please try again later.” This is the first time I’m playing on Nintendo Switch since the update.

  • Andronian42 Androw | BLM (@Andronian42) reported

    So yeah, no archiving going on right now. Hopefully this is a weird error and not Nintendo shutting down the site early in retaliation.

  • fizzle541 brendan (@fizzle541) reported

    @coopercooperco the only reason I even considered it was for susnshine but if I recall correctly they didn't fix like any bugs and slightly changed a couple things so if I ever play it it'll be through [COMPLETELY LEGAL MEANS DONT SUE ME NINTENDO]

  • hershy_xd Hershy (@hershy_xd) reported

    @Nintendo @Fortnite pls fix nintendo switch fortnite, because if yall jus gon put fortnite on switch fix it like why is there 30fps and it been months or years pls, give us 60fps that all we ask for like for real its getting irritating and we kw you can fix it you jus don't want.

  • TAS_DIce TAS | DIce🔜MyHouse (@TAS_DIce) reported

    If ur tag is nnyyxx I am so sorry for that match. Ik Nintendo apparently made online worse this patch and causing even MORE random lag spikes, even if there is good connection. So wish that could’ve went better

  • kinopio_toad Toad - La! #FreeBritney (@kinopio_toad) reported

    @KinopioToad I had this many years ago when Wii was Nintendo's latest system, I had to send it into them to fix it, cost me nearly £200

  • ampeck01 Ampeck01 (@ampeck01) reported

    Has anyone else's target amiibo order went through and they weren't able to get them? Target took money out of my account. When I went to the store, customer service told me they were out of stock and my money would be refunded eventually. @NintendoAmerica @animalcrossing @sanrio

  • wifininja Wifininja (@wifininja) reported

    Need some help, Using @elgato 4k60 S+ with a nintendo switch and a ultrawide 2560x1080 monitor and I only get no signal with no picture on the monitor (I only want to do 1080p) How do I fix this?

  • m__7tl (-_-)zzz (@m__7tl) reported

    it blows my mind every day that everyone out there apparently thinks about anything but despair every waking moment like which issue of nintendo power did i miss give me the cheat code please

  • LickyPain Jean (@LickyPain) reported
