    @BailouInTheDvrk Who ******** decided that p2p was an optimal way for Nintendo’s online service to work on

  • DougAlikr Alik’r (@DougAlikr) reported

    Nintendo needs to fix online enough of this lag bs if two ppl are wired it shouldn’t be lagging hardly at all if any

  • NickalusVann Nickalus Vann (@NickalusVann) reported

    Have anyone else have problems with the big pidgin race on super mario 64 i mean that level was always a pain in the *** am i right or wrong #Nintendo #mario

  • Fated_Oblivion Retro Fig. Gamer (@Fated_Oblivion) reported

    @ah10ve @Nintendsoft_95 "Listen to black people's voices"?! A mass than those against have declared it isn't an issue, so you're basically saying their voices don't matter. Nintendo themselves stated it's an imaginative game and make your character looks however they want.

  • dollhouseAli ali (@dollhouseAli) reported

    @KimmyHazard @frilly_frocks Yuuup I had several of mine/my nephews’ have drift :( I sent them into Nintendo for repair no problem, but yeah the proof thing can be a hassle. I eventually just bought new ones.

  • luthwyhn Luthwyhn (@luthwyhn) reported

    @ploogle @DaveOshry Yes, but the problem here is absolutely that AAA games are overpriced (which is why I don't buy any except the occasional Nintendo game)

  • Edmitsu Edmitsu (@Edmitsu) reported

    @765Breezy Not a fan of 90% Nintendo’s stuff. Since bad hitboxes and ignoring issues is your thing I recommend MUGEN.

  • chie_arale Chiel Arael (@chie_arale) reported

    @Dreamboum ocarina of time didn't 'get in trouble' though, nintendo just removed it because it was their policy at the time not to include any real-world religious content. it's likely that nobody would have cared if they didn't

  • Zengaku1 Zen (@Zengaku1) reported

    @ScrewyClassic Also the fact that he thinks if Nintendo published it, it would magically fix the problems he supposedly has

  • jay_are5 Jay Are (@jay_are5) reported

    @DestinyIsMyGame @ModernVintageG @PlayerEssence It's not a problem once you're inside the loaded area, but the thing is, it serves as a good little test to see how much better the next Switch will be. But Im joking, I know Nintendo will go out of their way to make the game run into the same issue for any new Switch.

  • MatthewKulas_ Matthew Kulas (@MatthewKulas_) reported

    @dungeonsgame #are you going to fix the unbearably low FPS on Nintendo switch? I spent fifty dollars on a game that makes me nauseous when I play it. FPS drops consistently below what looks 10-15 FPS, and spikes even lower. Fix your product please. #AskMojang

  • CullenMontie Cullen Montgomery (@CullenMontie) reported

    @KatieMarovitch I would buy an over-priced Nintendo brand keyboard for this. I'd like to be part of the problem

  • SimonStevens187 Simon Stevens (@SimonStevens187) reported

    @fchinaskipt Lol I know the feeling, on PlayStation and xbox I feel more inclined to see a game through because I hate having achievements sit on 1% where as on Nintendo platforms I can just throw my hands up in the air and say the game isn't very good and drop it no problem.

  • ErickHBMC ErickHatesBMC (@ErickHBMC) reported

    @bruhStormy @laklabedwars @2003cheems i've accidentally broken a keyswitch before, i threw my nintendo switch, it hit the f8 key on my keyboard and now theres just a bit of brown plastic in my keycap

  • WLHQ_ WLHQ (@WLHQ_) reported

    @Microsoft @Mojang @Minecraft why is my upload of my world erroring out on iOS & Nintendo Switch? I just dropped money on minecoins & I renewed my realm to this?! Find a fix or I'm requesting a refund.

  • OrionLuvsGaming 💫✨Orion✨💫 (@OrionLuvsGaming) reported

    Ofc, Nintendo sure doesn't help any with their limited quantities. But scalpers are a big issue. And have been for a long time. This isn't something new. Stores do this all the time with other various things as well, Simply because of the bots online tht buy out in seconds.

  • ChaoticSewerRat 😈🏳️‍🌈Picie🏳️‍🌈😈 SPLATOON 3 (@ChaoticSewerRat) reported

    Nintendo. Please fix your ****** online servers.

  • toriratush Tori R. (@toriratush) reported

    There’s a big problem in Animal Crossing community. Zero patience. Idk about previous games, but NH obviously was designed for slow gameplay and that’s why Nintendo said they will slowly update this game. But people don’t get it and complain all the time.

  • Crowtz_ 9z crowtz (@Crowtz_) reported

    @NintendoAmerica @FortniteGame ******* buggy game gets general offline in this **** my god 5 years of game even with simple bugs take it in the assuuuuuuuuuuu fix this you have to restart the game all the time

  • alexisquackityy johnny/elliot 🐇 (@alexisquackityy) reported

  • peaceofthemoon badr 🌒 (@peaceofthemoon) reported

    @Warface can't connect to any of the servers on my Nintendo Switch, not sure if anyone else is facing the same issues

  • SamieP Samantha Prentice (@SamieP) reported

    I swear I am going to have a breakdown if I don’t get my copy of sword back from Nintendo after they sent me back a broken Switch. Ughh #FirstWorldProblems

  • ZuldaFTW Citizen97 (@ZuldaFTW) reported

  • TheBakedPotate Brian Scott Hillier (@TheBakedPotate) reported

  • Gonz29RL Key Gonsior (@Gonz29RL) reported

    @Miracles_rl @RL_Support I looked up the error code and it had Nintendo support and it told me to do that.

  • TheBakedPotate Brian Scott Hillier (@TheBakedPotate) reported

    @NintendoAmerica Why do I pay for online backups for your horrible online service if it's not going to GIVE ME MY ISLAND IF I TRANSFER TO A NEW SWITCH

  • TheatricallyGay Team Symone (@TheatricallyGay) reported

    @PTBRUlSER I spent 50 dollars on that game I refuse to believe I was bad, I blame Nintendo's online "lagging"
