    @laker_real @FPKanto @NintendoAmerica Thanks for ignoring a big issue, I know corporations keep docs of the past. No one official gave the info out officially.... If it where Nintendo Capcom or even Sega there wouldn't be a need be "unnamed" even under nda

  • Fawfulthgreat64 Ja̶̱̓͆M̸eȳ̶̞(FtG̷̭͐̒6⁶̶̔̍6 ̸m̵A̵rpG̵͂ ̶eNj̸̲̎0y3r (@Fawfulthgreat64) reported

    @MarioDiamondYT @NintendoAmerica Well, when it's not an issue anymore, that's when I will stop bringing it up. Nintendo and only Nintendo can stop me from talking about this issue. By fixing it. I'm not going to stop giving a criticism because people think it's never going to change.

  • NSpider151 Digital Hazard (@NSpider151) reported

    @NintendoAmerica Well, on the very least the lie did bring up problems with the VA industry.

  • mahou_beck Beck 🐼 (@mahou_beck) reported

    playing splatoon 2 in hopes nintendo will fix spl3’s servers soon 🥲

  • gshumilinski G_Shumi (@gshumilinski) reported

    @n0thasghey No, the whole service (Nintendo Switch Online) is rated T, not the individual games.

  • Fawfulthgreat64 Ja̶̱̓͆M̸eȳ̶̞(FtG̷̭͐̒6⁶̶̔̍6 ̸m̵A̵rpG̵͂ ̶eNj̸̲̎0y3r (@Fawfulthgreat64) reported

    Replying "jesus christ we get it" as if Nintendo does, the issue is fixed, and there's no longer need for me to say it. Only causes issues. It shames me for staying vigilant, and then it sets me up to look desperate when I defend my stance (as I should).

  • Redrooey Redrooey (@Redrooey) reported

    @NintendoAmerica FIX SPLATOON‼

  • yoshido606 yoshido (@yoshido606) reported

    @OatmealDome @shutterbug20002 Did nintendo officially address this issue yet?

  • BigMan_DeepCut Big Man (@BigMan_DeepCut) reported

    @Baha_Akami //didn’t they say the Nintendo Online service is down in general? How are people playing Splat2??

  • ipodtouch0218 ipodtouch0218 🦊🔥 (@ipodtouch0218) reported

    @yoshiessence @NintendoAmerica @Kunedon lag switch is the ultimate solution to garbage

  • Megaman0052 Megaman005 (@Megaman0052) reported

    @Splatoon_ocs I say everything in capital letters to nintendo and it's lousy online service.

  • LunalaMaster Ultra lunala master (@LunalaMaster) reported

    @thatonepep Sadly no, just a wifi problem at nintendo

  • ProjectXbox17 Xbox 007 (@ProjectXbox17) reported

    @TCMF2 EA, Take Two and pretty much the entire industry is fine with the deal, even Nintendo Sony are the only ones complaining, this is a Sony issue, not an industry issue

  • 33Alter Alter - 100% sure I'm not sure (@33Alter) reported

    @NintendoAmerica Everyone - Fix our joycon drift! Nintendo - Can't have drift if you wreck your controller yourself. As a side, here's the first Mario Party!

  • SirMammothy Cédric (@SirMammothy) reported

    @DirectFeedGames Now all I personally need is for Nintendo to give me Donkey Kong 64 on the service and I'm all good. Hope it's due soon!

  • basedtweetsonly Big L (@basedtweetsonly) reported

    @Smiles880 @Wario64 Nintendo has gotten way better about their inventory compared the end of Wii U-beginning of Switch, but these N64 controllers are selling out within seconds. Must be supply chain issues still going on.
