    @NintendoAmerica ******* fix your item placements, getting a single red shell in 9th? ur da never loved u

  • lorealecv Alec VanDusen (@lorealecv) reported

    @kitosan I have confidence that Xbox will deliver. And as far as the name of the event goes, Nintendo can get over it if they have a problem. They don’t have a monopoly on the word ‘direct’.

  • RamonGuardadoJr TheHardcoreNESGamer (@RamonGuardadoJr) reported

    @oldschoolrgb @retrokatg The big crash may have been in N. America but it's still a part of video game history. As far as other counties go that's completely irrelevant to the topic. Nintendo used N. America as test country in 1985 before being released worldwide to find it would be a success and it was

  • LeopolisZone Super Leo!!! (@LeopolisZone) reported

    FIX YOUR ******* GAME NINTENDO. I LITERALLY DCED AT LEAST ONCE IN ALL OF MY X CALCS. HOW ARE YOUR SERVERS SO ******* BAD????? THIS IS LITERALLY THE WORST ONLINE GAME NINTENDO HAS MADE YET! (I don't think the actual game is bad but the online is literally horseshit.)

  • apitcher35 Andrew Pitcher (@apitcher35) reported

    @NintendoAmerica I'm sorry to address you and spam you with these messages but when I'm trying to get those packs I only are limited time on that game I kind of gets on my nerves I can't can't get them when the servers are not working like they're supposed to so please fix them when an update.

  • apitcher35 Andrew Pitcher (@apitcher35) reported

    @NintendoAmerica Nintendo of America I have a complaint with one of your games I would have called customer service about this but it would have took it way too long just to address this your Nintendo switch sports game has been lagging me out during matches and the servers have been bad.

  • apitcher35 Andrew Pitcher (@apitcher35) reported

    @NintendoAmerica Not only when it's lagging me out I'm paying money just to play this game online and it's punishing me for what we getting or lagging out and it's not my internet or my internet connection and the bad thing is I'm trying to get some of the items that are in the online packs

    @AndreSegers @StardustRedding Remember going out to the mailbox hoping the new issue of Nintendo Power was there? good times

  • Ultimalocked Ultima* #FreeMelee (@Ultimalocked) reported

    @Alphicans Ousting Panda was also ousting Nintendo attempting to gain control over our community, which I strongly believe we cannot let happen. If it weren’t for this, you’d be fully right, but Nintendo’s influence was too deep seated into Panda as a whole and long term would cause issues.

  • Toby3442 Toby (@Toby3442) reported

    Nintendo please fix your potato servers. @DJCalliean and I CLEARLY won a turf war, but we froze right before results and got disconnected.

  • DrForester DrForester (@DrForester) reported

    @TrekNewsNet @JBillingsley60 @KHADY93 But would he ever do another Nintendo customer service video?

  • Neoxon619 Nabil Mehari (@Neoxon619) reported

    @HouseHusbandFGC @burnoutfighter While EVO is still allowed to run non-PlayStation systems & games, they may not be motivated to since not all of said major games (Smash aside, if Nintendo decides to return to the fold post-Panda) are on Xbox. Plus Sony & Epic are making strides to fix the input delay problem.

  • BlueIrisIX IX (@BlueIrisIX) reported

    @alyrch99 i mean yes sure but theres a few issues: fire emblem, nintendo, im a hater, the battlefields look tiny, and its not gay enough

  • SMASHnewsBOT Smash Headlines BOT (@SMASHnewsBOT) reported

    Nintendo announces Dragon's Lair DLC, and Sakurai reveals new DLC character from Zaxxon1, and Raito is already claiming the character will be BROKEN

  • Onyxs_Inkling Onyxs (@Onyxs_Inkling) reported

    Getting DCed in a game where I’m tearing it up, ah yes. That good ol’ Nintendo Wifi service, only $20 a year folks #Splatoon3

  • ASIAtheGRITS a no limit soldier (@ASIAtheGRITS) reported

    This crash bandicoot on Nintendo switch is hard lol 🙃

  • BFoxct Bfox (@BFoxct) reported

    @PracticalTAS My issue with this is it not inviting Nintendo to shut it down? It is bringing back the finale to a circuit which was stated Nintendo did not like when not affiliated with them, I assume it would just get shut down immediately and be a bad idea.

  • Ultimalocked Ultima* #FreeMelee (@Ultimalocked) reported

    @Alphicans I realize now you’re a mainly Ultimate player based on your bio, and from that position I can understand your grievances more due to Nintendo causing significantly less issues for your scene. But even in that case I can’t view Nintendo influence as good, too close to the fire.

  • idreppy Cody King ⚒️ (@idreppy) reported

    @espressobreath @jasonschreier I feel like management has to be the main problem with that, honestly. It’s not limited to just Amazon either, Microsoft has a hard time shipping products unless they buy them, Sony has like…4 games on the ps5. Nintendo is pretty consistent, but also Pokémon isn’t great.

  • brxndybrxndy brandy (@brxndybrxndy) reported

    @NintendoCanada @NintendoAmerica @SplatoonNA Day 123 (124 with Splatfest) of asking for a fix for the “not enough players” error on Splatoon 3.

  • JeremiahWOLBI Jeremiah B. (@JeremiahWOLBI) reported

    @HookLineVG @PlayStation Exactly! On the other hand, Nintendo's worse quality service is cheaper.
